If Fields had stayed

I get the no need for 2nd guessing. Just wondering why Fromm seems to have lost some mojo. I’ve always been a proponent, but am wondering if it’s him or the system. Would Fields do any better? Not a Coley fan.

Do we really need another Fields thread?

Anything would just be guessing. But if you want to guess here is mine:

Fromm is great at throwing the deep out. He hasn't don that as much this year. I think he knows and understands his weaknesses if he is going to be successful in the NFL, so he is working on those things.

Also, he is working on receivers who are, for the most part very young and inexperienced. They are not on the same page with Fromm as to the route they should be running and are dropping a lot of passes, to boot.

He is working with a new OC, and thta always takes time and adjustments.

Shoot, we have James Cook who had to be taken by the shoulder and shown where to line up yesterday on one play and he has been in the system for almost 2 years now. If he doesn't learn the offense he will not contribute next year, either. He fumbled the ball too much last year, and the way Fromm looks past him when he is wide open makes me think he just isn't very reliable.

There are a ton of reasons why our offense is not working as well as it has in the past. Some can be laid at the feet of the players, some at the feet of the coaches. People want a pat answer and there simply isn't a single reason.

Pining for a player that would be an ill fit in our offense does nobody any good. Put fields with this inexperienced WR corps and you would probably get very similar results.

Let Fields go and quit playing "What if..". For better or for worse he is gone. Forget him. He has forgotten us, I can assure you.

I think the South Carolina game really fricked with Kirby and how he wants the game called. He is micromanaging the offense to follow a specific plan: run the ball, occasionally mix in a play action or deep shot, and don't turn it over. The emphasis on protecting the ball has greatly affected Fromm's play.

This is good insight and I agree. Basically, Fromm is playing scared. He's very slow to pull the trigger because he has no confidence in the timing with his receivers and their ability to go to the ball. Then he's stuck back there with a rush in his face and takes a sack because he doesn't have the athletic ability to roll out and escape the rush long enough to be able to throw the ball away out of bounds. It's almost as if we starting from scratch with a new offense and a rookie QB.

I didn't read your OP

And since you avoided the question I'll answer it.

Both teams run the same style offense.

You think that UGA and OSU run the same style offense? I saw you post this in the game thread but I thought you were just trolling. But wow. You honestly believe this.

The differences are minor. You guys push the narrative that there are worlds of differences between the offenses because you don't have the guts or the heart to admit Fields is better. So you run with that narrative as a way of explaining why Fields is performing far better.

Coley would have managed to screw it up if he stayed

Probably! If I see another run the ball on first and second down, putting us into a predictable and obvious passing situation, I will scream.

You tards keep regurgitating this but we actually throw the ball on 1st and 2nd down fairly often.
