You don't get 5 stars without a cannon for an arm.

WTF?


The only logical reason I can see for this is he didn't win the job.

He's been pumped up during the off-season, and his draft stock is high without playing a snap. However, if he rides the bench in 2020 he might go undrafted.

If there is another logical explanation someone let me know because I don't see it.

That actually makes sense. Any way we can find out about this.

Reddit and the Rant would absolutely throw a massive shite fit if Fields was allowed to come back though so that alone would be worth it

Kirby will NOT let Fields come back. Hell, I bet the NCAA wouldn't allow it. I don't want him back.

That would be insane if somehow Fields was allowed to return.

Also, I agree about Daniels arm strength. I don't think he has a canon. Looks like he has pretty average arm talent to me whereas Newman looked like he could rip it and he is such a big physical presence at QB too

Hope it's not true. These kids today...

Also, what's up with the team marching? I was hoping UGA would steer clear of this Marxist garbage.

No way the job has already been decided after one scrimmage. He probably weighed the pros and cons of playing this year. He has good advanced stats and good tape. If he plays and sucks against better competition he hurts himself. Now he just needs to show up at the combine and preform decently and he will probably go round 1.

Some early mock drafts have Newman a 1st rd pick. Agent gets in his ear telling him he can only hurt is stock maybe. Who knows.

I think they're all over these kids and see a big opening with CV going on.

Not sure how many NFL teams wanna risk picking em w/out seeing him play in the SEC. Risky move on his part.

But the timing suggests something happened during the scrimmage. They've probably had enough time to go over film, and I wouldn't be surprised if Daniels is threatening to take the starting job.

He he were to stick around and not start, his draft stock would take a major blow.
