So have we. The difference was quarterback.
It's a team sport. Say it with me: "football is a team sport".

Right. Namely, quarterback. We literally produce first round draft picks at every other position.

We have great players all over the field too dip shite. You act like we’re Ole Miss

We have plenty of talent across the field.
Except for quarterback. We are second to none in recruiting every year and always produce boatloads of NFL talent.

Ok. How do Mecole Hardman and George Pickens sound?

We can have a discussion about why they quit, but we had a couple of QBs that could help us out after Fromm was gone and they didn't stick around. We've got some younger talent on the team and they just aren't ready for prime time. It's unfortunate but it's where we are this year.

ETA: Hardman was here in 2018 and he got a lot of targets.

Or because he knew he wouldn’t be given a legitimate chance until he was a senior. Because “there’s no good reason” to give him a chance.

quote:False. He had one off-season with UGA when we were coming off a close loss in the national championship game with Fromm. He couldn't take one year to develop and try to beat out Fromm in his second year?

Not given a legitimate chance... he played too many meaningful snaps in '18. I thought Fromm was playing worse because of it because he had his rhythm thrown off by being taken so often for no reason other than to make good on a promise to Fields' parents that he'd see the field.

Wow. Just wow. I'm not entirely sure how to respond to this. I'm guessing you think Patrick Mahomes would suck if he was playing for the Jets too.

No. In no game did Fromm look "really good" last year. His best game was 20/30 for 250ish yards and 2 TDs and the offense scored a whopping 24 points. That's a solid day.

Did ya see who we put out there last year? At best it was in the lower tier of the SEC.
BTW,good luck with depending in Freshman to win games at the position at least not before the last part of the season.
We were w/out our #1 and #2 WR's today and due to injuries,suspensions and the NFL draft we were down 7 wideouts last year.
Good luck putting together a coherent passing scheme under those circumstances. We've had some shite luck at the position the last 2 years

quote:No. Burrow is a great QB, but he wouldn't have won a championship at UGA last year with the coaches and players we had around him. That's my point. It's not like LSU had a WR taken in the 1st round of the draft and another one projected for the first round of next year's draft. He had weapons all over the field and a great offensive scheme to make use of them all. We didn't have that at UGA.

quote:Stats alone are deceiving. Cager was a reliable target and Fromm was on the money with him time and time again. Cager was made of glass and when he wasn't there, Fromm suffered, thus the bad stats. That's my point, though. He didn't have reliable targets to throw to and it made him look worse than he was just like having elite receivers can make a QB look better than he is.

We had two offensive tackles taken in the first round of the draft. We had a RB taken at #35 overall. We had Pickens, who will be a first round pick in 2022. Trey Hill will be a first or second round pick in 2021. Solomon Kindley is starting for the Dolphins right now.
This whole shitty supporting cast narrative is stupid and disingenuous. Fromm sucked. There are no excuses.

quote:The linemen were great for pass protection and for supporting our running game and our RB was great at running the ball but he wasn't a go-to receiver. Your complaints have been about our passing game, not our running game, and that requires receivers to consistently run their routes and catch the ball.

quote:He was great at the end of the season but he was our only target when Cager was down. You can't have only one good receiver on your team because defenses will key in on him. Fromm was great at distributing the ball to various targets and it was a shame he didn't have a better supporting cast to help him out.
We had Pickens, who will be a first round pick in 2022.

Why was he so much better in '18?
Why did so many NFL's scouts think he'd go in the first 2 or 3 rounds before the season?

Because he didn't have to carry the offense. We had explosive plays in the run game and guys who could take short passes and make them big gains.

Don't you the quality of the WR and TE groups had something to do
with it?
We did have talented OL last year but they continually had issues with run blocking and our WR/TE group was only above average when Cager was healthy.
Sorry, don't care how talented a freshman is,it's unbelievably difficult for em to make an immediate impact especially in the SEC. Julio and AJ are the only ones in recent history I can
think of.
