JTD isn’t and hasn’t been healthy. He had complications after his first knee surgery and had still had issues after the follow up scope. Hopefully he is ready at some point, but he isn’t as of now.

Kirby has about as bad a track record with QBs as it’s possible to have, but even he isn’t dumb enough to play Stetson Bennett over a healthy Daniels. Hopefully we are in a better spot after the BYE week

From the MG article up on DN... JT Daniels won the original quarterback competition and that’s why Jamie Newman left. D’Wan Mathis is ultra-talented but he’s essentially a first-year player learning the college game while Bennett is a traveled fourth-year veteran.

The health of that knee is what’s holding us back from starting JT it appears.

Mike Griffith is a hack, and in this case, he is making shite up. Newman was the starter. It wasn’t close. JT hasn’t been healthy, and it was known that he wasn’t going to be ready to start the season.

Just look at JT’s profile on the UGA website, and look at all the accolades, and tell me the guy doesn’t at least deserve a chance to play. My only thought is he’s truly not 100% healthy but with that brace finally being removed he should be by Kentucky.

He isn’t healthy. His knee isn’t there yet. It is 50/50 whether he plays at all this year.

Georgia’s defense can play as well as they have all season, and Bama will still score in the high 30s. Can the UGA offense match that? Unlikely.

Pittman is about as good of a guy as you will find in sports.

I don’t know how it will play out on the field, but you all have yourselves a hell of a leader.

We are having our fair share of struggles in state as well.

Carter to Clemson.
Hancock to Clemson and then OSU.
Ferguson to Bama.
Nyland Green trending Auburn/Clemson.
Mondon trending Auburn.
Mims still considered a lean, but auburn and Bama both lurking.

I also think it’s likely that beck and Mathis transfer before all is done.

Beck emerged as a junior but then had a very poor senior season. He could likely become a serviceable starter at some point, but lacks the overall talent of Newman, Daniels, Vandagriff.

Mathis was a project from the start and by misfortune hasn’t been able to play or practice fully. He is way behind the others based on that development.

Looks like USC QB JT Daniels is going to transfer to Georgia. Should be announced today.

Dropping in to let you guys know that it seems like Feld will be your hire.

He was great when he was an assistant here at Georgia. Players loved him and he is also on the cutting edge of the technical side of modern S&C. One of the best in the biz, IMO, and would be a great hire for you guys.

Is he the best DL coach we could have? No.

Has he missed on lots of priority targets? Yes.

Did he need Fountain, Kirby, and others to take over recruiting on several key guys this cycle, including Jalen Carter? Yes.

Has his unit produced on the field this year? Yes.

The bottom line is that I still feel we would be better long term with a more proven coach for that spot, but I am happy that he produced a better on field product this year than expected.

His recruiting lags behind his peers on our staff, but under Kirby we will bring in talent at every position. Going in to 2020 we are very thin on the DL, and need some good injury luck and maybe a grad transfer to maintain elite talent AND depth.
