Trevor Lawrence is much more mobile than Fromm.

needing someone with quick feet to beat Bama.


Its not a coincidence most QB's who are on teams who beat Bama use their feet to make things happen at some point. They do it with OL missing blocks and WR's not getting open initially. They are also smart with the ball, which is also not a coincidence. Teams often need both to overcome a team like Bama.

Fromm having faster legs doesn't necessarily mean we win.


There are no guarantees, but the odds do go up with a QB who can make something out of nothing. A first down is better than a punt. Thats just basic football knowledge.

quote:

You keep defaulting to a QB needing to always being able to get positive yards, but that's not realistic.


I never said always. Take Cardale Jones vs Bama for instance. He didnt have a good game passing, and stats say he only gained 42 yards on 17 carries, which isnt all that impressive, but that is with sacks and bad snaps taken into account. Looking more closely, he gained 83 yards on 7 carries, good for 6 first downs. That turned a potential of 6 punts into sustained drives. OSU needed every bit of that to beat Bama by 7.

insisting he should stand on the sidelines while an inexperienced and unproven backup QB should be given more of his (Fromm's) earned snaps in the hopes that it will help the backup for the next season is borderline lunacy


Thats great, but I am not doing that. Save that for someone who is.

Considering I and many others have sufficiently contradicted any rational reason for the anti-Fromm arguments,


You sure do think highly of all the Fromm fan boy spin you have posted. Doesnt mean its sufficient.

quote:

You're either a Fromm "hater" because you're ignorant, or because you're biased in favor of Fields against the rational arguments to the contrary.


I have looked deep into Bama's losses, so I know what the average QB has done in those games, and I am tired of not being able to include UGA on that list.

This isnt true. He is much better at using his feet than Fromm is.

What I meant was that I would like you to offer specifics as to what Fromm could have done better in the actual games by pointing to specific plays.


3rd down and 4, on the Bama 48, 12 minutes to go, Fromm should have hit Hardman as he was open and cutting across the field on the Bama 42. Bama tied it up on the next drive.

Are you talking to yourself or am I missing something?

Trevor Lawrence isn't more mobile than Jake, and he didn't play much better than Jake (if at all) in their NC. He did, however, benefit from better play-calling in the second half and a staff that continued to put him in the right positions to win.


Lawrence is a generational talent. Fromm is an upgraded version of Aaron Murray (which is still great at the college level).

Do you think I responded to myself or the person who asked me a question?

Let's call it what it is, Bama wins that game 7 out of 10. Just was not their night.
