Isn't that what athletes do....compete. Newman had already beaten Sam Hartman out once. Based on experience alone I'd say JN is the starter headed into spring. He's going to add another dimension to our offense. One rarely seen in Athens.....a mobile QB. You don't really think our QB situation is because of shitty recruiting. The portal has changed college football. 4-5 Stars don't sit anymore, they transfer. I enjoy your posts....you're smarter than that.
I really like it where you take a QB who ran up a few stats against garbage ACC teams and proclaim he is going to walk into UGa, behind a brand new line, with the support of a RB on two bad wheels, and exactly one WR worth a damn, and claim he is going to ball out.
Well, here's a bit of info for you. Newman's stat line against Clemson:
6/14 for 41 yards with 2 interceptions.
Only top 25 team Wake played last year.
Good luck with your new superquarterback. You're going to need it.
I understand your jubilant optimism over Georgia's loss of four starting offensive linemen, QB Jake From and elite RB DeAndre Swift. The film on Newman looks good. "Grain of salt" = he was playing on a sub par ACC team so some of the mediocre statistics can be rationalized. Given the projections from "experts", there is optimism. We are hoping that Newman's ability to scramble will off set any OL defiencies. The OL will take a step back for sure. (from one of the top 3 OL in the country to merely "good"). Georgia has two 5 star OT's coming in (freshman inexperience). The OL will be adequate. Swift will be replaced by another 5 star RB (Milton). The RB corps is stocked with quality RB's already. Georgia's weakness this past season was lack of quality receivers (with the exception of George Pickens). UGA is bringing in 4 elite WR's and probably the top true TE in the country (Darnell). Newman has a strong arm which will help with the down field passing game. In offensive summary, the weakness of last year (WR) will be negated this year and the offense should be more balanced. The defense will be elite. It is January and hope springs eternal, but I am optimistic about playing in the SECCG for a 4th consecutive year.
Well, those in the know have the kid rated 3rd behind Fields and Lawrence in the 2021 draft. That's pretty good company. To dismiss his on field talents is delusional. Place Newman in an environment where he is surrounded by highly regarded recruits and I'd dare say the odds are he'll be a more successful QB. To what degree we'll have to wait and see but if he's not a leader none of his athletic talents will matter. What you should be hoping for is that Newman can't make this team "his."
Wake Forest's last 4 recruiting classes....55th, 58th, 61st, 74th
UGA....3rd, 1st,1st, 2nd
Yeah, based on talent alone I think he'll do fine.
Did you not watch our bowl game? The OL that Coach Luke (elite hire) threw together looked more than adequate. Throw in two more 5-Star OT's and Van Pran @ quard this cycle and well.......I'm not concerned. Your jab at White is comical, he along with Milton, Cook and McIntosh will be a force. Everyone is scared of Pickens, then throw in McKitty from FSU at TE per the portal and all of a sudden Kirby's offense is shaping up rather nicely.
Good Lord. It’s the same arguments every single year with these guys. Relying on true freshmen and a backup QB transfer LOL.
lmao! Everyone the gator's are replacing will be studs while up in Athens .........after 4 straight Top 3 recruiting classes Georgia will be unable to fill the voids. Got it! We destroyed Baylor with 12 starters out. The talent gap (with back-ups playing) was obvious.......you watched but still deny!
He’s already used to not winning titles. He’ll be a good fit.
LOL.........
You are on fire in this thread, kicking mutt butts and taking names. Well done. Are you certain you aren't a Mike Bianchi sock?
And that has what to do with what was being discussed? Some of you have the weirdest habit of jumping ass first into a conversation without knowing what’s being talked about just to make some unrelated comment.
It’s all they have. We heard the same nonsense all last year about how them losing 5 receivers wouldn’t matter because they had all these 4 and 5-stars coming in. Fast forward to now and they’re blaming their lack of receivers for their struggles on offense. You don’t say? Who could have ever predicted the receivers would struggle?
Now they’re losing 4 linemen and it won’t matter either because they have more 5-star freshmen coming in. Somebody ought to tell them that the one place you don’t want freshmen playing is on the line. They’re going up against grown ass 21-22 year olds as 18 year old freshmen. It’s the one position that takes years to develop. These idiots never learn.
My lord. All this homerism all over again from UGA fans. Have the last 40 years not taught them anything? I still think it is funny that they are relying on a Wake Forest QB that didn’t even have that good of a year. Throw in Coley and it is going to be fun watching UGA underachieve again.
Yep. Relying on talented WRs coming in.. ok if you’ve got a Julio Jones or Amari Cooper type. But still a gamble. There is no gamble on the OL. True freshmen OL, especially multiple true freshmen linemen means you’re going to struggle. The QB position is just beyond absurd at this point. Some mediocre football outlet calling this Wake kid the third best pro prospect in next year’s draft is delusional. But they have started their fantasies early this off season.
Yep. Common sense is lacking. Think about this...if Newman is the third best QB in the country next year behind Lawrence and Fields why the hell isn't he going to the draft now? He’d be a certain 1st rounder and be making millions in a few months. Instead he’s passing that up to transfer somewhere else and play for free. Seems legit. Nvm it’s been reported Newman submitted his name for an evaluation and got told to go back to school. I wonder why? Doesn’t fit the narrative from delusional dog fans though.
That’s exactly right. Fields, Lawrence are obviously high draft qb’s. After that you’ve got Ehlinger even your guy Trask will be a better prospect than this kid. Coley already proved he couldn’t improve the stock of a third year starter in Fromm, what’s he gonna do with a kid that regressed at Wake Forest running Coley’s system that doesn’t fit his skill set? UGA fans should be glad they have a more mobile qb though because apparently they’re guaranteed to be starting two true freshmen on their line.
It's interesting you think true freshmen and transfers, that have never played in your system, you are guaranteeing will have success, but you think UF players with years in the system and some starting experience because of injury will never pan out.
Got it. You're an idiot.
He played one SEC level defense last year, and went 6-14 for 41 yards and 2 interceptions.
Oh nos we so scared now please not that guy.
"After 4 straight Top 3 recruiting classes", You still have no Natty.
"After 4 straight Top 3 recruiting classes", You still needed a grad tfr for your QB.
"After 4 straight Top 3 recruiting classes", Your Oline requires freshman to start
LSU destroyed your team on your home turf. Bowl games , unless it is the CFP, mean very little...
And now Kirby needs a co-off coordinator......ummm...ok...
"But, but, but..we recruitz gud!"
Have you looked at the early defections and transfers, bub? Your "top classes" have been gutted. Your 2018 highest rated recruit transferred to OSU. Your 2019 highest rated recruit transferred to UF. You had 4 guys bail in the past two weeks.
Tell us again about "all that talent".
I didn't see a single true freshman OL in the game versus Baylor. I'd be surprised if one starts this fall although the possibility exists. Our Oline is deep and not totally inexperienced. Look for Coach Luke to slim them down slightly in preparation for all those pulling and trapping assignments. I predict better run blocking with a small degradation in pass protection.......but who cares when you have a mobile QB who excels in throwing the deep ball...... two abilities that Fromm lacked.
per a fellow Dawgventer.......things aren't always what they seem.
I’ve always felt that returning starters is a misleading stat, especially on the defensive side of the ball.
So I took the total number of snaps this season by returning players and divided it by total number of snaps, then sorted by position group.
QB: 10%.......upgrade with Newman
RB: 32%
WR: 68%
TE: 12%
OL: 43%
DL: 71%
LB: 85%
DB: 79%
Our defense is looking quite nasty.
LOL and just like that Fromm is now not as good as Wake’s backup QB. Coley really did a number on him. Coley still the OC right? Oh but he’s gonna have more pulling guards and Fromm’s lack of athleticism is what held Coley back I take it? The mental gymnastics you dogs do every off season it’s a wonder you all aren’t more slender.
Your QB room may be an upgrade compared to what you had without Newman, but it's a significant downgrade from last year. Literally nobody in there scares anybody. Hell, ETSU isn't scared.
You had 2 WR's and 1 TE last year who could catch the ball. 1 WR and the TE are gone. The ones you are counting on are true freshmen. You are kidding yourself if you think that will be anything other than a weakness next year.
You are counting on a RB with two bad wheels. Maybe somebody will step up, but if you had anybody, why did you trot out the guy with the bad knees against Baylor?
You lost almost your entire OL, and we stole one of the recruits you were counting on to come in and help. You know what can make a bad QB and RB look good? A great line. You know what makes a good QB and RB look bad? Your line next year. Oh, and BTW, your QB and RB aren't good.
You overestimate your defense. Your DL lost half its guys. First line may be stout, but depth is gone. So is the offense that protected that D by running the ball and eating clock. So in the 4th quarter, expect that DL to be gassed and fail you.
I don't know what to tell you. The writing is on the wall, you just refuse to read it.
So now a Wake Forest QB is better than Fromm. I’m about to ban some UGA fans just based on pure stupidity and over the top homerism. It’s comical now.
Once again, with feeling:
Worst Tennessee team in the history of UT
A Mizzou team that only won at home
Vandy
Kentucky
You lost to a SCAR team coached by the most inept coach in the SEC
You beat us, by one touchdown
That's the EAST title you're beating your chest about. You promptly got ass raped by LSU on national TV.
fsumc,
This is not a mediocre football outlet, this is the Championship caliber coach both Georgia & Miami fired -
Please pay attention !
Mark Richt: Jamie Newman ‘will be the best QB in the SEC'
LOL
The last two seasons the score has gotten closer and closer in the UGA/Florida game, but don’t tell that to Bulldog homers.
If anyone knows how to give a fanbase a false sense of hope it’s Mark Richt.
No the 10 National Titles in a row start this year, the year after, the year after that....
