I opened this thread just as Freebird really got going at the restaurant I'm at, and I am having feels. Something big is going to happen for Georgia this season but it's going to be a long tough road with fear, pain, detractors and trolls and goblins, but the road ends with Glory.

Is Kirby going to let Jamie throw the ball?

Newman reminds me of the old Mizzou QB James Franklin.

And does this official statement squash questions about who the OC is next year?

I fully expect us to open up the entire playbook, significantly increasing our RPO’s and read-options, along with designed QB keepers/counters/rollouts.
All of these things are already in the playbook, they’ve just been under-used or even dormant because we haven’t had the right personnel to run them effectively.

I wouldn't expect him to be heavily involved in running outside of occasional read options. I believe it's part of the reason he decided to transfer... those extra hits from running the ball, on top of the hits he took dropping back, were taking a toll on him and it's part of the reason his production declined toward the end of the season.

3-5 keeps a game is enough to vastly change the way defenses play our run game.

And especially helpful if the keeps pick up a few first-downs.

Yes, I agree.

He averaged around 50 yards a game at Wake. I think he’ll do around 40 a game with us.
Maybe 1-2 designed keepers per game, 2-3 read-options where he keeps it rather than handing it off, and probably 2-3 scrambles/tuck and runs for positive yardage on broken pass plays.
Nothing outrageous. Trevor Lawrence and Joe Burrow both averaged 7 rushes per game this season for around 25-30 yards a game. And I think Newman can do at least that with us, and likely a bit more.

I don’t think those guys are dangerous because they might run. They’re dangerous because they’re excellent passers. Their running ability comes in handy when taking a sack is the other option.
When defenses stack up to defend the run ... keeping it isn’t the answer. Being able to read the defense and then hit a slant or check down to the RB or TE is what we need.

25-30 yards might make all of the difference between a 3 and out and extending drives, and keeping the clock moving to seal a win.

Keeping the backside defensive guys honest gets you yards that don’t show up for the Qbs stats.

quote:As has now been posted many times, Newman had the highest passer rating in the country on tight window throws and the highest completion rate on those throws. On top of having the second highest passer rating on throws over 20 yards. Not to mention the 6th highest passer rating on throws under pressure.

His 61% overall completion rate is misleading because his receivers had over 30 drops on catchable balls, he missed the Fla St game mid season because of a hurt shoulder and played hurt the rest of the season, the week he came back he loses his #1 receiver for the season, the week after that he loses his #2 receiver for 4 games, and on top of all this his OL was ranked the worst in the ACC.
The guy can absolutely throw, and throw with great accuracy. If you watch his film and know anything about feet and throwing mechanics you’ll clearly see his mechanics are damn near flawless. I mean seriously impeccable. There’s no hitch, no windup, no shoulder dip, perfect arm angle, clean release, consistent trajectory, and the vast majority of the time the ball is a super tight perfect spiral. And his balance is great, he shifts weight evenly and consistently from back to front, doesn’t throw off his back leg, and hips open and close as they should.
I’m telling you, this kid is special. He’s a late bloomer who grew into his body-control late, clearly got quality QB mechanics and mental coaching, and has developed correct muscle-memory while avoiding bad habits.
We absolutely lucked out getting this guy and he’s going to run away with the job.
