And???I suppose we could have put more on ND but I was perfectly fine with the UT
and Vandy gamez.

We weren't healthy vs SC

Tell me one game where exceeded expectations offensively? Florida?


In the 1st certainly we did and woulda put up another 7 if not for a questionable holding call.

quote:

24 and 21 points good enough with our offense?


It was good enough to beat 2 top 10 teams and it was the only home loss vs one of those teams.

Coley needs to go.


Did you even watch our 1st qtr possession? Was it his fault Simmons dropped an easy pass?
Landers couldn't get his feet inbounds? Jake missed a wide open Blaylock?

Wouldn't be opposed to getting rid of em but good God,get me some guys who throw and catch first

The fact is Kirby does see himself in Fromm. That's why he coddles him. "He's really similar to me." We've all heard it.

UGA is a proven OC with complete offensive control away from a Natty.

Yep, and I agree to a large extent.
Saban has won multiple national championships largely due to superior recruiting. At this point we definitely need a more talented QB and better receivers.

This year? Not with Fromm's difficulties and our WR group.

Pickens and Blaylock are both NFL guys. You can't tell me you need more than 2 NFL WRs to win.

Fromm just has to be better. Don't know what else to say about that.

We made an average transfer receiver look like a NFL player this year as well until he got hurt. Pickens improved as the year went by and could well be an NFL player if he improves his route running and awareness. I like Blaylock, but he wasn’t on the field a ton this season. I have never seen a UGA team drop so many passes and make poor ball adjustments. Fromm started missing more as the season went by which didn’t help. Not sure what that was about, but he had a physical or mental regression.

I’m not sure of the context of this original quote, but I’m not a fan of blaming players after a game like this. A lot went wrong. The HC needs to fall on the sword here.

With all that said, LSU receivers made plays on the ball. Especially ones that were not perfect throws. We did not. In a game where a lot went wrong, this was the biggest difference between the two teams.

I’m beginning to think jakes daddy has some dirt on Kirby. I’ve heard he’s quite the a-hole from several firsthand reports. I know some people that have hunted with the Fromms

I think he pays Foo man choo to post on here, too.

It might be good enough in those games, vs. those opponents, but there’s nothing wrong with wanting more for our team. There has been no progression. I disagree that our WRs and QB are simply not talented., maybe after Cager, Pickens, and Blaylock went down there was a drop in talent. But we had that same group for most of the games, all 5 stars, and simply couldn’t sustain drives consistently. Jake still shows flashes of his prior years performance potential, but never consistently.

He wasn't completely wrong. There isn't much he can say in that position that doesn't look like finger pointing or whining.

Had LSU guys not had a couple of drops..they would have scored at least two more times.

We can list the known problems from the game, God knows there were plenty. His job and the coaches is to put us in the best position to work around those. Did he do it? I really don't know.

They're usually the 2 most important games on our schedule so yeah,its kinda important we win those games.

Sure,who wouldn't

Maybe? I can name 7 other SEC teams that are better at the wideout group.

quote:

But we had that same group for most of the games, all 5 stars


There's only 1 5 star in the Cager,Pickens, Blaylock group and BTW please name all the freshman 4:and 5 star wideouts
who are making an impact at LSU,Bama,OSU or even OU.Take a look what Haselwood is doing as a freshman and get back to me.
(5 star WR and the #1 prospect in GA) a grand total of 17: receptions.

quote:

For whatever reason he's lost it physically and mentally.Had Dwan been healthy I woulda benched Fromm during the A&M.He should be on the shortest leash possible going into next season
