You know I blame Bobo for that.
Not too shabby: Aaron Murray vs. FBS teams with winning records
Filed under Georgia Football, Stats Geek!
Get The Picture 
Glad that he knocked off Aubie this weekend. I was beginning to get a little pissed off at the “he can’t beat ranked teams” meme. Like it was all his fault last year. This is just further proof that Aaron Murray is a very good quarterback, has a chance to be called great, and we’re lucky to have him even if we are too stupid to realize it.

As I said earlier this year CMB being a coaches son and a great high school and college QB knows more about Football than anyone who posts on here.Having some talent to work with doesn’t hurt either! Great stuff Senator !

I don’t think most people doubted CMR’s coaching knowledge.
.
What people doubted was his excessive loyalty that prevented him from firing OTHER coaches who were not producing.

That was clearly a problem with Martinez and Van Halanger, and may be the same problem with Bobo.

“more ass”…..I think that needs to go in the Lexicon.
I think the first time I read that term used was in Ball Four, where I think Joe Schulz told a young pitcher who was struggling with his fastball, “Put a little more ass in it, kid.”
UrbanDictionary.com ain’t got nothin’ on GTP.

Ahhhh, Ball Four. What a great book. I got that as a 9 year old little league player from my dear old great aunt who thought I’d enjoy a baseball book. It had just come out, and she didn’t know what it was really about. I loved that book and read it a couple of times. Really increased my vocabulary. 🙂 Unfortunately, over the years, I’ve lost it. Need to pick up a new copy. Wish it was available electronically.

I got a paperback copy of Ball Four as an impressionable 9th grader. It was the most hilarious thing I had ever read. No idea where my dog-eared copy of it is now, but every time I go pound a few Budweisers, I think of the Seattle Pilots. Is that weird?

More ass (n.) – when fans prove to be more of an ass than an asset by engaging in the practice of degrading a University of Georgia football player, coach, or athletic administrator or other personnel, only to see said person prove themself and subsequently watch the fan attempt to explain their way back onto the vicitm’s bandwagon.
“Many Georgia fans found themselves in quite the more ass after watching Aaron Murray throw four touchdowns against # 20 Auburn last weekend.”
Could also been seen in the cases of Mark Richt, Tood Grantham, Todd Lakatos, Mike Bobo, Tony Ball, Bryan McClendon, Joe Tereshinski II, Richard Samuel IV, Isaiah Crowell, Carlton Thomas, Bacarri Rambo, Shawn Williams, Christian Robinson, Cornelius Washington, the video board crew, the equipment managers, the cheerleading coach, the mic man, the students, Nike, EA Sports, Sony, the Athens Police Dept, the vendors, and the guy who fills up the ice tubs after practice.

Speaking of ass, which of you showed yours by saying Murray wouldn’t attract any interest from the NFL in response to a post of mine a couple of weeks ago saying that I thought he would get drafted after this season if he wanted to?

Pretty amazing stuff. I wonder what other NFL QBs would do. I can’t believe Brees is that much better than other top NFL QBs.

What that shows you is, practice is everything. In a pass the human body is a tool that can be trained to do the same exact thing every time, through muscle memory. Where as the bow, the bow is the tool that throws the arrow through the air. Bows are not able to do the same thing 100 % of the time.
I used to think that sometimes Brees would get lucky with that back shoulder pass, now I see he means to throw it there. The shocking part is how in the world does he not get 30 balls knocked out of the air by the d-line.
He is a machine, a well oiled one.

It wasn’t me, but while I wouldn’t say that Murray would not attract ANY interest if he chose to leave after his redshirt sophomore year, I would say that he wouldn’t get MUCH interest. If Murray is going to get drafted, he’s going to have to keep adding to that resume. David Greene got drafted, and he isn’t nearly as fast and I don’t think he had an arm like Murray’s. Still, Greene was a big dude. Murray’s gonna have to convince someone he’s big enough to play.

I personally think Murray would probably get drafted somewhere after this season, and next, and the next, but never high enough where it would make sense for him to leave early. Brees stayed four years and was still only taken in the second round as the second QB off the board. Typically, guys who leave early do so because they will be top ten picks and would be stupid to turn down the money. As good as I think Aaron is and will be, I’m not sure his physical stature will allow him to be a high first round pick. But I am rooting for him! As somebody mentioned, it’s fun watching Stafford (who obviously still follows and loves UGA) in the NFL.

Watch that one year later video. At the 55 second mark, that skinny post throw was as good as you will see. The ball comes out quick, on a line and with good speed. That was a pro throw right there. And the first TD, that was a good throw, watch that video.
He can make the throws, his height and without that Stafford level arm. But you know, Matt Ryan does not have that arm either, he is accurate and has a quick release. If he continues to develop, he may get drafted or he may sign a FA somewhere.

Tyler Wilson is second behind Murray in the SEC….at 33rd. McCarron is next at 35th.
If the NFL isn’t interested, the CFL sure the hell will be. They did pretty good by a short QB from Boston College who played for another BC in Canada. Watched him live in a game in Edmonton with friends from Boston. He was much more as a QB than the Hail Mary tells. He was flat out good and beat the Eskimos singfle handed that day.
Practicing a song to teach my grandchildren at Thanks giving:
Murray throws with a wobble, wobble, wobble.

Interesting stats. For all the talk about UGA weak schedule, I see that UGA has played 3 teams with a winning record to date. This is the same as Arky and ALA. LSU has played 4 teams with a winning record.
BTW That is a pretty big gap between AM and the rest of the qb’s in the SEC.
