Just stick to what we know:

-There has been no reported injury.
-Pressure isn’t in his face.
-The wr is open.
-It’s not been in a monsoon.

As you can see, All other factors required for a successful play have been fulfilled.



Okay. You are right. it is all Fromm's fault. No extenuating circumstances.

Done. I guess now the thread can die since we all agree with you.

I do not know why, nor do I have any ability to figure that out. I still like to talk UGA football, so I will talk about it.

And you are welcome to talk about....but....aren't I?

I mean, I am trying to give a few reasons and actually talk about Georgia football and you guys think I am nuts for doing it.

Crow...you don't want to talk about Georgia football. You want to say, "It's Fromm's fault!"
You just admitted that you don't know what the problem is or have the ability to figure it out, so what is the point of the thread or being in the thread?

Answer: "It's Fromm's fault!"

There are a few people in the thread that have tried to come up with explanations and people who admittedly have never played, or have said they don't knwo what the problem is is coming and saying that isn't the problem, "It's Fromm's fault!"...but that is literally all you guys are saying over and over again.

For sure, recruiting would be a hell of a lot better if Fields was QB.

I have never said or insinuated that you couldn’t.

Define it.

If “it” is UGA’s offensive struggles, Fromm is one of many people who share in the blame.

If “it” is missing 3 open tds vs A&M, I do think that is largely his fault.

I like the guy and very much want him to succeed but won’t just be silent when he struggles.

N you haven't. But i have never said nor insinuated that you couldn't, yet you felt it necessary to say you could. I just thought maybe I should say the same.

This is exactly what i have been saying all along in this thread.

I remember two, not three (but it very well could have been three) However, I would say the weather could have had a strong hand in them, too.

That's fine, but what is the point of people starting threads when all they have to say is "It's Fromm's fault!" Okay. I get it. I'm sure everybody on the board gets it.

Got it. but you just said you didn't know anything about that particular subject. Shoot, if people on here started an intelligent well thought out thread about intelligent, well thought out subject, I would avoid it like the plague. Why? because I would know nothing about it.

Probably...but it was not necessarily aimed at you in particular. I have never had a problem with your posts in particular. I guess I am just tired of the people beating a dead horse week after week with no particular insight on the subject.

No theory. No explanation. just a one not statement over and over again. And if people want to put forth an explanation, they are summarily shot down and ridiculed. That is not discussion.

I haven’t started any threads on the subject.

I know that he is struggling. I am not Jake Fromm and therefore do not know why. He may not even know. I struggle hitting my driver and do not usually know why. I still talk about my golf game.

It seems to me that you are trying to get me and others to stop discussing it, which is definitely not discussion.

That;s why I said "people" in general. I knew you didn't start the thread.

Yeah. You talk about your golf general in general, or you talk to someone trying to figure out what the problem is, I would guess. You probably don't walk around and say, "My swing sucks!" and when somebody tries to give an explanation, say..."No! That's not it! It is just that my swing sucks!"
Do you see how silly that seems? Now try sayig "My gold swings sucks!" to the same people every week and arguing with them that it can't be helped..."it just sucks!" What reaction do you think you would get from them?

Discuss all you want. But give the board more than a group of people saying the exact same thing over and over again.

Again. Try it with your gold swing sometime to the same people over and over again and see what kind of reaction you get.

You say this like that’s how I talk about Jake Fromm.

ETA: also, how come you don’t have the same reaction when people talk about Coley sucking or UGA having terrible WRs? It’s the same thing.

Not meant to. I meant this thread in general. I mean, that si pretty much what these threads consist of.

"Fromm sucks!"
"Well, it could be because _____, _____, or ______.
It's none of those things! It's all Fromm's fault!" "He sucks!"

Look at this thread with clear eyes. Any time somebody tries to give a reason or excuse or explanation they are told "that's not right! Fromm is just bad!"

I know for a fact that a couple of the front runners in this narrative hasn't played football at a very high level, if at all. I also know that some of the people giving explanations have played, and one or two at a decently high level.

I mean...if your thing is to go to a message board to discuss Georgia football, and the best you have is "Fromm isn't good and your explanation is wrong!" then, have at it. It just seems boring and without point.

And no, I didn't come into this thread to criticize y'all. I finally got to that point when I saw the direction it is going in.

ETA
Again. not necessarily talking about you.

Mmmmmm....could be.

There is just no pint arguing it. "It's Fromm's fault!"

Actually a good and fair question. I haven't seen those threads as often for one. maybe I have just missed them?

Another is that I have been critical of our receivers. They certainly don't suck. Their problem, imo, is they are young and inexperienced.

As for Coley? I have to wonder if he is a product of a lot of things, too.

1. Our offensive scheme, which is primarily the same.
2. Fromm struggling.
3. Smart handcuffing him, somewhat.
4. I find it funny that the ones complaining about Coley are the ones that complained the loudest about Chaney.


Honestly i am coming here less and less because I am so tired of all the complaining about everything.

We win, somebody complains.
We lose everybody complains.

It's just one big complaint. I promise you....when we do win a NC, we will be able to look back on a thread where somebody complained during the season.

So you are still banking on some obscure, unknown thing as a reason why Fromm struggles to hit the wide open td.

That’s as weak of an argument as I have ever seen.

Pretty sure it is the argument you are making, is it not? Show me where i am mistaken....oh. Wait a minute. You are just trying to prolong this thread and start an argument, aren't you!

That’s essentially your argument, not mine.
