The diff between Bama and UGA

Also, is our evaluation of QBs bad? Becks good, but going back to Fields, Eason, Vandergriff, etc Our "future stars" have mostly been misses.

I don' agree with this at all.

Fields- he got mopup duty as a TFr behind a proven upperclassman starter then pouted and left before the season even ended
Eason- promising TFr season transitioning from lily white washington ball tot the SEC. Injured in the 1st quarter of first game of Soph. season then transferred
Vandagriff- Sat behind better QBs then transferred to a lesser school where he was guaranteed to start

I don' tknow how in the world you can call those "misses". Every single one of them transferred to a place where they would immediatley start whihc they weren't going to do at UGA.

that's another thing that sucks arse about modern CFB. Kirby and staff are excellent developers of talent but that only matters if they stick around to be developed. A guy like Ellis Robinson for instance, 5-10 years ago that's a guy that would sit on the bench this year, play admirably next year, then be an all american and high draft pick as a junior. Nowadays some school is probably going to offer him like $700K to come start for them by pointing out he didn't even see the field at UGA. Then he'll be considered a "recruiting miss".

Well, there was Pickens

Negative recruiting at the wide receiver position is starting to catch up with us. We've only had one wide receiver finish in the top 10 in the SEC in YPG in Kirby's tenure and none in the top 50 nationally..

Part of it is how we have 2 tight ends on the field more than just about anybody in the country. Part of it is how we insist on rotating receivers in and out more than just about anybody in the country, and part of it is how we've signed 5 WRs out of the portal in the last 2 years.

Wide receivers want to be the man or want to one day see themselves as being the man. At Georgia, there is no the man.

Explosive play ability on offense

They didnt play a meaningful snap at uga.

whihc has zero to do with "missing" on our recruiting evals. They left for other opporutnities. A miss is someone like brice ramsey, blake barnes, christian lemay, etc that ended up jsut sucking at playin football.

Highly touted out of high school and were supposed to be the future at QB. 5-4* type guys

Surpassed by perceived lower level guys ie.. Fromm and Bennett

---

I mean...logically woulnd't that point to our expertise and advanced skills in recruiting instead of the opposite? What does it say about our evals that lower ranked guys are given the keys over the more highly rated?

quote:

Never succeeded where they went either.

Fields most certanly succeeded. BVG is a day 1 starter in his new gig and just beat a top 10 team on the road. Eason only played in 1 non-UGA season and threw for over 3K yards with 23 TD: 8INT, I'd call that pretty damn solid.

how many starting QB's does UGA have in the League?

absolutely meaningless to the discussion

Im sorry but we arent in the same level with Bama for QB recruitment or Development.

I never claimed that we were, so now you're making a different argument entirely. My first post to you which led to this string was you saying that we are poor at HS QB evaluations and have missed in that area which simply isn't true.

I'd also like to know more about the "development" of bama's QBs that you're touting. They've certainly been better than ours but that's jsut because...well, they'r ebetter. So they run laps around us with QB recruitment. But development?

-Tua was elite from the get go, there wasn't really much to "develop"
-Hurts never progressed as a passer and in fact you could argue got worse during his time at bama. Benched at halftime of maybe the biggest game of his career there. Now, when he went elsewhere to a school and coach known for passing he improved immediatley by leaps and bounds and shockingly turned into a competent NFL passer. But that was due to OU, not bama
-mac jones was great and did seem like he was very well developed, no argument there. Worth noting that he hung around until he was a senior, which none of the guys in your UGA examples even came close to.
-Bryce young, like tua, was elite from the day he stepped on campus. Has been one of the biggest NFL flops of the 21st century thus far

I don't understand why we miss out on the Luther Burdens of the world at WR

money

The answer to pretty much any similar question post ~2021 is almost always going to be money.

Okay so to sum up your thoughts, our qb recruitment and development has been as good or better than Alabama's and it has nothing to do with the reason we lose so often to them? I just want to make sure I understand your argument here. The whole purpose of the post was to say that the quarterback difference between our two teams is one of, if not the biggest reason why we lose the bama consistently. I also believe wide receiver recruiting is also the better at Alabama.

So you stand by the ideology that fromm...Bennett...and now beck are all on the same level with Tua....young...and the jalens?

Maybe not Fromm (even though he got drafted) but I think Bennett & Beck would look noticeably better throwing to Jeudy, Metchie, J. Williams, D. Smith etc.

None of the Kirby era QBs have been as bad as Joe Cox, Hutson Mason, Greyson Lambert, Joe Tereshinki III etc.

As long as you agree we aren't on the same level as bama is as far as QBs go, then we have no argument

And that + wr recruiting is the major reason we are 1-7 against them
