Ole Miss is 3-4 and has a very good chance of losing 2 more games, so that wouldn't make them above average. Average, at best.


If an average team hung 40 points on UGA in the blink of an eye then that certainly means our talent is below average. Thanks for posting.

So if the score of the game is the criteria for talent level,would you
say we barely have better talent than Nichols?Worse talent than
Vandy? What about Kentucky?

Where were all these "talent level" assertions after the UNC game?

mythical lack of talent that seems to have plagued the team since then.


Have you watched any of the games? Herschel Walker world struggle to gain yards behind this offensive line.

Our wide recruiters can't get open or catch a pass when they do.

Our secondary is undersized and can'take cover for shite.

Our defensive front is soft as tits and can't generate a pass rush and misses the sack when they do.

Aside from a freshmen and a few rbs, where is all this talent you see?

Seriously? Couldn't be coaching. Funny, when Richt was coaching it was all coaching, and none of the Richt supporters were complaining he had no talent. That's an excuse.

But, considering we have "only" signed 40 players with 4* or better since 2014, I guess you could make a case of us having no talent.

of course, we got beat by the Natioanl Champions last year kept the score closer, so there's that.

And thanks for letting me play.

Yes, I watched every game... many more than once.

Our O line is not elite, but from a talent standpoint, has three players that will be in NFL camps next year including one who was projected to be a first round pick pre season and an all SEC and Rimimgton watch center. They have regressed, but also have had good and bad games. This tells me it's more about scheme. The bad games on offense seem to have a common theme of more of their guys than ours in the box.

Our WRs are not elite, but poor route running and catching falls back on coaching. Every day...

The defense has been pretty solid overall and other than Ole Miss has not been our major weakness.

You are making excuses.

Herschel Walker ran the ball when everybody and their brother knew he was getting the ball almost every single play, so I'm not sure how you are making this statement. Wild guess?

Minus Malcolm Mitchell it is the same bunch we had last year. And McKenzie is on pace to gain the same number of yards as Mitchell.

You mean the same secondary we had last year? Oh. My bad. We added a starter from Alabama to our secondary.

Soft? You base this on what you have heard? They aren't soft. If you want to say we have no experienced depth, I would agree with you. They are not soft, though, and I actually think they have been a bright spot this year.

Really? 40 players recruited 4* or above since 2014. There's a little bit a talent, there. As somebody said....maybe not enough to compete with Alabama, but certainly enough to beat Vanderbilt and easily beat Missouri, Nicholls, and South carolina.

Are you seriously going to argue that South Carolina, Vanderbilt, Nicholls and Missouri has talent that even comes close to what is on our roster?
That is a simple question.

Since Kirby and his staff have been proven/successful coaches at other programs, we will also learn a few other things:
1. Do the players recruited by Richt want to give it their best for Georgia/Coach Smart? Improved execution/effort/concentration would be good to see.
2. How well our offense (#72 Total Offense) matches up against Florida who has arguably one of the best defenses (#3 Total Defense) in the nation?
3. Can our defense, which has definitely played better than our offense in most games (#23 Total Defense), limit a Gator offense (#54) which is considerably worse than their defense.

Stats from NCAA.com LINK

It should be a good low scoring game of strengths (defenses) vs weaknesses (offenses).

I think I've learned about as much as I want to learn about these coaches. They suck from Kirby on down.

Such a simple, cheap argument to make.

How many of Penn State's players could play for Ohio State? shite happens in sports. We lost to a team we were more talented than. That's going to happen when you're attempting to undo an entire of culture of people being complacent.

I was a Richt supporter and I complained about lack of talent on the lines all the damn time. We were consistently pushed around at the point of attack and that's because Richt failed to recruit elite linemen, particularly on the offensive side.

Look at that 2013 class and what we have left of that class and let me know what you find. FTR, those would be this year's seniors...

Here we go again...obligatory 2013 reminder.

BTW '14,15 and '16 classes were ALL top 10 classes but lets use
the '13 class as a get out of jail free card for Kirby & Co

You forgot the obligatory point about the Jr and Sr classes "not buying in"

He wanted to talk talent and it's a pretty big fricking hole to climb out of.

Not a get out of jail free but it's not insignificant. When you only have 3 contributing seniors, that's a huge fricking issue.

True. It's a dumb argument to make. Which is why i said it in response to her asking how many of our players would be playing second string on Alabama. I'm not sure why you called mine out and chose to ignore hers, which was the exact same argument.

Absolutely. Which is why I said we had signed 40 4* or above since 2014 and did not even count 2013. I'm sure we have a couple of players left from that class that were 4* or above. If it is a legitimate argument to say we don't have talent, then it is certainly a legitimate argument to point out how much talent we have signed the past three years. I understand we are short on depth at some spots. I have agreed that this is the case on many occasions.

But for people to keep making a "no talent" argument" when our complaints are about the performance against Nicholls, South Carolina, Vanderbilt and Missouri?

We have looked like crap against all of those teams. name one that has even close to our talent, yet the "no talent" argument just keeps being repeated.

I was talking talent as compared to South Carolina, Vanderbilt, Nicholls and Missouri. Do you still like your argument that talent was the issue in those games?

But man....nobody is complaining about our performance against Tennessee or even Ole Miss. You are usually a bit more objective than this, or your not fully realizing what the complaints are about.
