re: Jake Fromm should never start another game at Georgia

One last thing that people should consider: 1. Kirby messed up when he did the fake FG. That set the tone. (I understand why he did it, but it was a mistake. had it worked, he would have been a hero, though.) 2. The staff messed up when we moved away from the running game. We were dominating their Oline early and would have worn them down had we continued. That would also have opened up the play action a bit more. 3. While the defense overall did okay, we got gashed badly in the secondary on two plays the receivers were wide open. One for a TD and one for a 50 yard gain that led, I think to a TD. 4. Hardman cost us another TD with his fumble on the kickoff. 21 points that should have not happened.

Let's make more excuses for 11.

If a player at any other position on the field plays as shitty as he did, their arse is on the bench.

That isn't an emotional response. That is fact. Accountability should apply equally.

Apparently he does. What I saw at QB today was a goddamn abortion. Feliepe Franks looked like a competent QB against LSU. Fromm looked like a below average Sun Belt player.

---

You and others keep saying this but you ignore that the biggest reason for this wasn't Fromm, himself. The LSU secondary was really good and the best we’ve faced so far this season. Fields wasn’t going to magically change that as much as people think he has super powers.

There is a big difference between a QB and “a player at any other position”, whether we like it or not.

youre aligning yourself with an emotional kneehigh. just remember that.

Sometimes emotional people are right.

It seems to me that the crew wanting to stay with the status quo are leaning that way due to emotional reasons, tbh

The throw to Hardman to start the game was bad. The worst pass was the one to a wide open Swift though on the 3rd down and 5ish.

The horrendous sack where he held the ball for what seemed like 10 seconds, that took us out of FG position when we had a chance to cut it to one score was the worst. You don't expect that out of an experienced QB.

Had a WR wide open for a TD on a post route as well

Good Lord, the excuse making and arse kissing you make over Fromm is ridiculous.

---

Do you have actual rebuttals to the arguments made or are you just going to deflect with “but muh excuses”?

quote:

---

He was protected all day by his line and had plenty of time to throw.

---

On some plays he had great protection and on other plays he didn’t. Your generalizations don’t do a service to your arguments.

Not only that, but good protection just buys a QB more time to throw. It doesn’t automatically make receivers get open, thus my comment about the LSU secondary. If I was talking about the LSU DL, you might have a partial point.

quote:

---

He had open receivers throughout the day. He missed 3 wide open TDs.

---

So are you going to argue that out of all the passing opportunities we had, that Fromm had open receivers on 3 plays as a rebuttal to my comment about the LSU secondary being good?

The first play was an overthrow for sure,but it was on a deep throw which was a low percentage throw anyway. It was off by a couple of feet and it was early in the game. I can understand why he missed it but he did miss it.

Another “wide open receiver” was in the red zone when the receiver was not wide open during the read. Fromm looked his way for a second or a second and a half then moved to his next read. When Fromm turned his head, the first receiver got open. With LSUs pass rush being effective, it’s no wonder Fromm moved on to the next guy. That is what mature QBs do, otherwise he would be “locking on” to a receiver which usually gets a lot of flak from guys like you.

Not sure about that 3rd receiver you were talking about. Please refresh my memory.

quote:

---

You don't even have the guts to call his performance what it was, which was shite.

---

I already said he had a poor performance. I just also realize that there is more to it than Fromm. You seem to want to place 100% of yesterday’s effort on him and that is what I take exception to. It is dishonest, disingenuous, and lacks common sense along with basic understanding of the game.

Never change

This is a great point... What would the pitchfork carriers say if Jake locked into Terry there, never went through his progressions, and missed a wide open WR on the other side of the field? They would bitch him up and down.

That play was just bad luck, Terry didnt get open until Fromm moved to his next read. t sucked, but its hard for me to blame Fromm for doing what he is supposed to do. If the read is covered you progress to the next one.
