Oh, but they haven't played anyone, right? Well he beat a very good Cincinnati team that went 11-2 last year and was top 5 in terms of overall defense to boot.
Yikes... Using last year to determine whether this year's team is good. Quality selective stats there bruh...
Post Week 4 SP+:
Cincinatti... 59/130 "very good"

Justyn Ross probably wasn't the most polished receiver but Dabo put him out there cause he can catch the damn ball
Love using this as an example when Ross’ only 100 yard game before the playoffs was Georgia Southern.

Lawrence wasn't perfect but he was the better choice than Kelly Bryant
Comparing Jake Fromm and Kelly Bryant is an interesting move.

Let's say hypothetically Kirby had given the ball last year to Fields
We would’ve lost at least another game.

I'm fine with that, last year we all knew that team wasn't capable of winning a natty. Punt the year and get Fields ready for 2019 would've been the better play for Kirby

I disagree. Football is indeed a game of matchups, momentum, motivation, and a bit of luck. We almost beat Bama and made the playoffs. If we hadn’t played Fields we just might’ve pulled it off. Make the playoffs and who knows what happens.
Any coach that sacrifices a year of play should be fired. Fields was not the best QB on the team last year, that’s why he sat. He’s the best QB at OSU right now, that’s why he’s playing.

It seems obvious. Why do we keep rehashing this??

Any coach who punts the year at Bama, Clemson, or Georgia should be fired.
You dont do that to your fans. You dont do that to your seniors. You don't let recruits see anyone on the team who has given up. That attitude is a poison.

Because the backup QB is the most popular guy on the team...even when he isn’t on the team anymore.
Also, I don’t know if anyone has actually watched OSU this year but he is still pretty much pulling it down and running when his first read is covered most of the time.

How long are we going to justify Fromm's OK games when we could've had a QB who is less polished but WAY more dangerous. Who here honestly thinks we'd be worse with Fields as our QB?
Fields is perfect for TOSU’s RPO. It’s an easier system & tailored to his running ability. GA is not an RPO offense; it’s smash-mouth & play-action pass & I’ll take Fromm, his playbook knowledge & ability to read defenses over a “less polished” QB. Every. Day.

UGA gets guys like James Cook/Pickens/Fields and what do we do? We get scared to give them the ball in big games, play it safe with Herrien and Swift up the gut.
Scouting ND, their interior DL & middle LBs were the weak links while their secondary was seen as a strength. A power run team running between the tackles isn’t “playing it safe”; it’s doing what you do. Bread meet butter.

Kirby doesn't know how to play to his strengths or manage his talent.
If you’re referring to Fields, I’d point the finger at Chaney.

Only got one touch? Honestly, between that and Pickens only getting one target, I'm starting to think Jadon Haselwood had a point about our coaching staff.
Turn in your UGA fan card, head over to the Tennessee page, so you can bitch about everything wrong.

Haselwood 6 catches for 133 yards and 1 TD.
Pickens 9 catches for 162 yards and 1 TD.
Blaylock 9 catches for 179 yards and 2 TD.
Maybe Haselwood would have been better off at UGA. We have two true freshmen receivers who are doing better than Jadon at Oklahoma.

The best coaches in any sport collect the best talent and then figure out a scheme to fit that talent.
That's not true, talent helps but their process for getting a team ready is extremely important. This is an old article but a good read about some popular coaches today and what they do during a typical game week. If you decide to read and get to the bottom, there's another one about Saban's rebuild and it's pretty accurate.
7 Coaches explain
Kirby is a Saban disciple and uses those processes to put a team on the field. Talent helps, but if there are problems with the process, talent doesn't really matter, aka Michigan this year.

One second you're claiming you expect better coaching out of our staff, and then the next you're talking about throwing away an entire season just to groom some prima donna for a job he couldn't win on his own?
God be with us all.

Well, I check in to see what the hell has been going on with the DawgRant and find that it is still full of individuals who just need to bitch about something...anything.
My .02?
CKS is doing a phenomenal job, we are ranked #3 (right where we should be), and we just beat ND in Athens.
Could the play calling have more spice? Maybe.
Could the playbook be opended up? Maybe.
But why do we need to do it right now?
This team is very much like the BAMA teams from Saban's early days there. Kill the opponent slowly with the run game and dominate up front with our huge line and our stable of backs. Throw when you need to.
Just because TUA is putting up stoopid numbers against bad teams doesnt mean we must do the same.
Our path to a natty does not need to mirror those around us who get there. It also doesn't mean that we can't beat them when the time comes to do so.
Relax Nancy...enjoy the ride.

We act like Fields can't play, he's having a MUCH better season than Fromm already. Twice as many TD's and a higher overall QBR in his first season starting!
It's not even a question anymore, we let the better player walk

Good grief. I guess the teams he played against are all much stronger than the ones we have. A troll is a troll is a troll.

Of course Fields is having a decent start at Ohio St - Look at the cupcake teams they have played so far. Wait until he goes up against Wisconsin, Penn State, etc. Not only that, Ohio State doesn't play any SEC teams. Look what happened last time Fields went up against an SEC team.
Fields is not our QB. Fromm is. Quit dwelling on the subject and move on. Or just quit trolling altogether.

They've played overall better competition than we have.
Indiana is basically the same team as Vanderbilt and they played two other legit D1 teams better than Ark St and Murray St
