It needs to be Mathis or Daniels going forward

Mathis isn’t getting us anywhere either

Until he transfers and lights up the world right? Then all you bitches will complain that we let another go. STFU and give the dude a chance. He has talent.

If Daniels won the QB competition and he’s cleared then why isn’t he playing? says he won qb competition. This was written yesterday or today.

We know Stetson isn't equipped with necessary physical tools; we know Mathis has the physical tools;

Where did anyone see Mathis in a CFB game to analyze his ability? The Arkansas game is all I can recall, and all I saw was a tall guy that had no clue what he was doing on the field that day.

Mathis looked decent, not GOOD, but decent until Bumper Pool hit him on the sideline...he got shook, and folded. Don’t need to see him again to know that he’s made of glass. Best of luck to the kid if he transfers, but he’s not an NFL superstar waiting to happen. He will always have his brain surgery on his mind when he takes a hit. I would too. So would everyone else here. It’s a psychologically limiting factor that a starting QB can’t afford to have.

He didn’t do that

So then are we to assume JN just decided he didn’t feel like playing this season after all the hype he was getting in the offseason?

Yep. Don't you find it odd that the guy who "beat" Newman hasn't come in or come close to coming in?

I assume he was given $100k by an agent to not play.

I feel fairly certain that if JT was healthy enough to play you would have already seen him out there, either as a starter or getting a series or 2

Oh I think the decision was odd for sure. I argued this with a Vol buddy the other day who thought it was a brilliant move on Newman's part. I want to say before transferring to UGA, Newman was mocked in the 5th? Came to UGA, got the hype/fanfare, and then gets mocked at 1-2nd round.

He then leaves. My buddy argues he is still 1-2nd round but I countered that his mock would more likely revert back to what it was before. I think djdawg is right, I think an agent got to him and convinced him he could surf the wave of hype he got with the move without the risk of actually putting tape out there. That said, I don't think that was all that wise of a decision.

So, to your point, this situation is fishy but I truly don't believe Newman lost to JT. I think 1) JT isn't healthy enough to have beat him out and 2) Newman had more time and is more experienced than JT. We'll never know how good he would have been here but sure as shite would have been better than last night.
