Fields wins appeal. Will be starter at OSU

[mizzippi jb]

And just an FYI. I don't agree with fields getting a waiver. He should have sat a year

So glad you said that

CMR did pretty good in his first 3 years. Even recruited some pretty good football players. Probably should have won a NC. Just sayin

He never came close to recruiting the kind of depth along the los that Kirby has.

I've already said it. You dawg fans will get to see what fields will become. He just won't be a Georgia bulldog

We will see.

Kirby was very fortunate Eason got hurt. Fromm got to come in and prove himself without worries of getting pulled. Using y'alls logic, Eason was beating Fromm out so that meant he was winning in practice. Maybe in the same set of circumstances fields could have done the same, maybe not. IMO, we don't play in the NC game if Eason doesn't get hurt.

You'll never know about Eason. I'm looking forward to see how he does this year

I agree. He had a full season as a freshman and had a great opportunity to improve but really didn't seem to get any better throughout the season to give you the hope that he was THE guy.

Kirby just wants to win. Your assumptions that the coaches didn't look at or work with Fields is incorrect. I know for a fact that he received substantial coaching time. His problem was that he was not learning the system. Just like Fromm, had Fromm gone down, Fields would have been in. Fields is a very talented guy, but Fromm is a worker. Fromm started working on learning Georgia's offense before he even hit Athens. Fields was out having a good time being lauded as the savior of UGA football.

If OSU caters to his style, he might do very well. I hope he does, because people who know him well say he is one heck of good guy.

Fields could very well develop into one of the best QBs to play the game. The fact is, he was not ready last season, at least mentally.

Obviously, having him redshirt would have been the ideal scenario, but that isn't what he nor his family wanted. Hopefully, Kirby has learned from all of this and doesn't make the same mistake again. It was obvious they were trying to get Fields playing time while also not letting it affect Fromm.

FWIW, Fields had more pass attempts than Tebow did his freshman year.

I'll agree with you here. The "system" is taylored to Fromm. A pocket passer. Kirby would have to have a completely different offense for fields to shine. Different assignments and personnel. He was trying to plug and play fields in that offense. At OSU the offense will be taylored around his abilities. I think/hope that makes a huge difference

And your coach hasn't figured out how to win the big games with all that talent. Sounds like cmr #2

That's hilarious. If OSU played in the SEC you wouldn't have much to talk about. Come to think of it, there isn't much to talk about in the B1G anyway.

Pfft. The sec's 2 best teams ended the season with an L on there forehead. A 10 and 3 bulldog season is no better than CMR. Sec teams can't handle playing 12 fbs teams and 10-11 are power 5.

Tell us all about the B1G powerhouse programs.

I forgot. Rose bowl champs

I think the only power house program is clemson at this point. Bama, Oklahoma and tOSU are scratching there heads right now trying to figure out what dabo is doing. Don't worry. Kirby will leave a bunch of "talent" for the next coach

 

[mguthrie]

Hey. Wait. I thought this thread was about our new #1 overall recruit ( from last year).

 

[mguthrie]

That left UGA?

 

[mguthrie]

To go play at a better school

Where he feels safe

 

[KyDawg]

UGA would have been in the playoff if they played in the big 10.
