The "Mailman" Takes Over; Dawgs QB Competition On Hold ?

GEORGIA BULLDOGS: Prediction Revised to 6 WINS - who plays QB ?

Obviously, 8 win prediction & winning SEC Championship written before Jamie Newman opted out.

Dawgs, 2-3 coming into Cocktail Party.


Reminds me of Jim McElwain's last season; but luckily, from the other side.

Another poster on this board compared Kirby Smart to Ron Zook - good recruiter, good defensive coach / coordinator, but can't even spell offense.

Starting to agree !

Saving Dawgs' season, with or without Newman, going to be hard !

Personally, I like Stetson Bennett at QB for the Dawgs unless J T Daniel is 100% healthy.
 
Tbh, I'm smh right now. I don't understand his reasoning and I don't see how it helps him in the draft. Best of luck to the kid.
sadgator is admittedly the biggest corona-bro on this Board...(not a hoax/not political/total threat/safety first)...and sadgator would never fault a kid for doing whatever is in his best interest during a pandemic...but seriously, the only way this makes sense after transferring from Wake is if he is just “selfishly” protecting himself from injury or he was going to be beat out...sadgator leans toward the later.

Totally agree, imagine facing an SEC defense every week AND every practice!

I don't think this changes anything. Newman was vastly overrated. All that's happening is the rest of the world is catching up to what I've been saying all along.

UGa has Bama, Barn, UK, Vols, and Arky before us. If they do go 2-3 they likely lose to UK over Vols. UK is better and UGa travels there where they get Vols at home. But heck, if Vols can pull it off, could UGa be 1-4 coming into our game? But that would be the absolute worst case scenario. I don't foresee a universe where Arky beats the Dawgs. They could run single wing with the RB playing QB and beat Arky. But, I think it could be competitive at halftime.

So, fleas, if you come out of the Arky game with, say, a 17-0 win, how will you feel about that? How will that bode on the rest of the season?
 
What needs to be watched now is if that loaded defense starts to bail knowing they have no support on the other side. LSU attrition may set in.

I guarantee to you that all these kids opting out all of a sudden are being gotten to by the sports agents. The same sewer crawlers that convince kids to forgo their senior seasons for a chance at the NFL by telling Juniors they are guaranteed 1st or 2nd rounders and then just bailing on them totally if it doesn't pan out. Now they are telling these kids, you have a free ticket by the NCAA and your school. Keep your scholarship, keep your classes, all the perks of an athlete, and you get to train for a year for free for the NFL without any fear of concussions or career ending injuries by actually playing meaningless college games. Look how many kids LSU has lost and now you're seeing more on a daily basis. it's the sports agents getting to these kids convincing them to give up their senior year. Not ONE of these kids across the entire country has yet to say he is opting out because he doesn't feel safe with the Covids and all. EACH and EVERY one of them is preparing for the NFL.

Your guy started Felipe Franks over Trask for years... doh!

I have to point out here, that there was at least one (correct) dissenting voice over that... 😉

And Dan inherited that condition, He would have changed it sooner if not for Trask getting injured in 2018.
 
Florida has a 5-Way too, but it's a bit different that the over-rated 5-star UGly 5-Way.

Kyle Trask is on 5 2020 Watch Lists, a 2 star Eagle Scout that never started in HS....

Not random but I get my bulldog with the gator in its mouth?

I don't know what I might use yet for a bet, but I like this one I just set up.

It would be a little reminder to you that in 2006, yes, in one single year, UF won more titles in football/basketball than your program has won in both sports combined in it's entire history.

Let's not be awarding him the Heisman just yet. A whole lot needs to happen here for Florida to do well. Yes Trask did well with 4 senior WR's who all made it to NFL rosters in 2019. Those WR's made it look almost too easy for him. Not to take anything away from Trask but it was effectively the same scenario with the Tennerssee. They had 2 NFL senior WR's who basically were catching hail marys on every other pass in the 2nd half of their season and miraculously, those asspackets managed to get to a bowl game they didn't deserve. And it didn't matter WHO the QB was that was heaving the hail mary's. Both of their starting QB's have amply proven they are utter crap and BELONG at tennessee. I'm just pointing out that great WR's can make a good offense look great given the right circumstances. It doesn't mean that Trask is going to light up teams this year.

Let's not be guilty of the same crime of pre-season self congratulations that we are right now accusing one of our rivals of. It's 2020, not 2019. Trask hasn't thrown a single completion for this year and still has the world to prove on a weekly basis.

I don't think he was going to be beaten out. I DO think he saw how bad the offense was going to be, and how bad he was going to look in it, and bailed. This way he still has a chance to be drafted in the first round, because there won't be a year of crapping up the SEC on his resume. After watching Fromm fall to the late rounds, and knowing the offense was actually going to be worse, he made the selfish call. But I'm not so sure it's so terrible. He is going to be a bust in the NFL, but I'm sure he'd rather be a first round bust than a fifth round bust, because then at least he got first round money. And if his family needs the money, sometimes this is a call you have to make.

And heck, he might go high. Nobody drafts crappy QB's in the top 5 better than the Jaguars, and they are due for another.

I agree 100% with everything you posted.

But...

At least we have a reasonable argument for why he COULD or possibly SHOULD have a good year. It's not like he's a transfer who has never played with the team and doesn't know the offense that hasn't been installed yet anyway, like SOME teams I could mention, that were hailing the transfer as the next Joe Montana.
 
Watch out for the Mathis kid...remember where you heard it first...

Nah. Shart loves the big statues. It'll be that USC transfer, who'll be even less mobile than normal on that bum knee.

Besides, Mathis only has 4 stars. Georgia isn't going to start a QB with less than 5. That would have been the first complaint about Newman when he had been as bad as we all know he was going to be.

And he is black.
 
And he is black.

Do you think that's a factor at Georgia? I mean, yes, that's the stereotype, but do you really believe that will keep Mathis off the field?

If that's true, didn't anyone on the GA staff notice that Newman was black?

Or...are you saying that would have been the complaint about Newman?

It’s a pattern here. Gecko was all about it.
Crybabies, the door is that way>>>

Seriously though, Kyle Trask got hurt two straight seasons. Was less experienced.

What took place under Mc doesn't count against Mullen. When Dan first took over, Trask was behind due to injury. Then when Mullen was about to pull Franks, Trask again got hurt and Franks played out of his arse and was doing big things. Mullen wanted to ride that momentum into 2019.

I was reading an article about Newman and it mentioned the scrimmage. Sounds like the best QB in the stadium that day was sitting in the stands watching. Doh!

This may actually benefit UGa. When they suck, they can blame Newman and say if he had stayed they would have been great. They couldn't have said that when he was the guy who led them to a 6-4 season. Now somebody else can lead them to a 6-4 season and they have a built in excuse for why they weren't national champs. Again.

Florida Gators Freshman QB Anthony Richardson Impressing Mullen, Johnson

Florida has more stability at signal-caller than most, if not every, team in the SEC. With the NCAA also recently voting to grant all fall athletes a blanket waiver and an extra year of eligibility due to the pandemic, Richardson doesn't need to redshirt.

Kirby Smart on QB play in their 2nd scrimmage Saturday afternoon 9/5/20 -

We are certainly more injured now than we were last scrimmage, in terms of numbers. We got some guys down and out, but we are still able to scrimmage and we still have a long way to go. To be honest, I thought we would be further on along from scrimmage one to scrimmage two, but it was sloppy. I mean, we got a lot of penalties. We didn't tackle really well. We didn't play really well in the red area on defense. On both sides of the ball, when we went ones on twos, it overpowered the other one—with the ones on ones being a little more balanced."

Looks like Dawgs down to three QBs.
Kirby - "JT Daniels, Carson Beck and D'Wan Mathis are all different quarterbacks. Right now, we're trying to figure out what they can do.

The good news is we have a lot of work to do mentally in preparation to get ready for the first game, but also to get our offense kind of in sync in rhythm to be able to hit things in rhythm."

On what he feels he has at the quarterback position...
"It's a work in progress. We had guys today that went out and practiced well. It almost feels like—we really want a guy to assume the lead and take the lead. That hasn't happened yet. You'll have a guy that has a great play and a great series, then comes back with a bonehead mistake and a turnover. Nobody has really taken charge and taken over. I wish I could say that. Both JT [Daniels] and D'Wan [Mathis] went with the ones. Carson [Beck] went with the twos a lot. Then JT and D'Wan both went with the twos a little bit. Stetson [Bennett] went with the threes. We don't have a guy that's way ahead. I don't know what to say other than we are going to keep competing, and we're going to try and find the best one."

On whether he expects JT Daniels to be cleared by the first game versus Arkansas...
"First on JT, I am under the assumption that that is going to happen, but that is not my decision. Obviously, that's the medical decision. He is cleared to practice, which is unique for quarterbacks because they're not out there getting hit every day—they're non-contact. We expect him to be cleared by the first game, but that's not a complete certainty. I know Ron [Courson] feels confident that he's far enough post-op, and he's got enough strength in his leg to be in a good position—to be able to play, but that's going to boil down to Ron and our doctors making that call."

On what D'Wan Mathis gained last year while dealing with his situation, and where he is now in terms of readiness...
"As far as D'Wan, the advantage that he's got is that he got to go on the scout team a lot because he was not medically cleared. If you remember he was not cleared to do anything until past-May. We were kind of in the dark on whether or not—we had to go to like six NFL doctors to look at the scans and see the healing in his skull to be able to clear him. During that time of last season, he was getting all the reps against the scout team which is really helpful because you get to feel the rush. You have one of the best defenses in the country coming at you with a makeshift offensive line a lot of times on the scout team. You feel that pressure and you get to go in there and compete. He got to take a lot of reps in that regard. He is in a little different system. It's not like he's in the same system he was in last year."

What Kirby Smart liked, and didn’t like, in Georgia’s second football scrimmage
Coverage from Macon Telegraph
Kirby - "Georgia isn’t there yet.

When Bulldogs head coach Kirby Smart met with reporters Saturday after the second scrimmage of fall camp, he didn’t seem to be in the best of moods. Soon enough he revealed why: He expected his team to take a jump forward in scrimmage number two, but it didn’t materialize like he hoped.

“It was sloppy,” Smart said. “We had a lot of penalties and we didn’t tackle real well, didn’t play real well in the red area on defense. Both sides of the ball kind of, when we went ones on twos, overpowered the other one, with the ones on ones being a little more balanced.”

Georgia ran about 135 to 140 plays, with increased emphasis placed on second-and-10 and goal-line situations. The players fared better physically with Saturday’s cooler temperature. Just like scrimmage one, however, Smart felt the execution was lacking.

He’s a nole. That’s worse than any other name you could call him. Also, just block the noles. That’s what I do. I can see that he posts but not what he posts. It helps me not waste energy or time on someone without the sense to know not to root for something stupid

And Dan inherited that condition, He would have changed it sooner if not for Trask getting injured in 2018.
There were a few. I think if franks ever got the mental part that Trask has he would have been a heisman candidate. He has tons of upside. I think if he had not had to play under mcelwain and had his confidence shaken so badly to start his career it might have been a different story barring his injury. Honestly, I would take franks over Newman, although obviously that’s not an issue now. I’d say in terms of raw physical talent franks would be the best guy on uga’s roster now, at least until we know how Daniels injury will heal.
