Should we be a little surprised by this?
Q: What was your experience at Georgia like? Did you leave there on good terms?
A: I don’t know if I left on the best of terms. I just wanted to hold up my end of the contract. They paid for four years of my school and I completed my degree. That was it. I would say in the long run I had a much better experience at Colorado. That’s nothing against Georgia, but I just really, really enjoyed my time at Colorado.
Q: Quarterback can be a tough position because if you’re not the starter, you either stay around and risk not playing or go somewhere else. Was that the situation you faced?
A: Yeah, that was the situation I faced. I struggled with that for a long time while I was at Georgia, whether I wanted to try and stick around or take another opportunity somewhere else or switch positions. I just always wanted a fair shot while I was at Georgia. And they kind of treated different quarterbacks in different ways there. That was probably the hardest thing for me to grasp or understand.
I guess being the designated fair catch specialist wasn’t all it was cracked up to be.

How do you tell someone that they are not good enough and then expect them not to hold some resentment? Logan had every opportunity. When he played in live games he was terrible. Just awful.

After all, he was used in the Dingo set. Of course, since he was a running QB he was told to run it himself, never you mind that he could have done fine if given the opportunity to hand off or pass according to what he saw. Am I the only Dawg to appreciate what Logan did by wanting to play for his team so much that he was willing to field kicks? He was never really given a game chance. That could happen to Hutson and for some of the same reasons (He’s willing to be red-shirted a year with the odds not greatly in his favor that LeMay may overshadow him if the team needs a running QB or Murray elects to finish his Masters while playing next year.). Would you blame Hutson personally for feeling this way? It isn’t the fault of the coaches promising shit either. Like our team, sometimes players just get snakebit through no big fault of their own.

Just sour grapes, its tempting to shoot your mouth off in a situation like this especially for a young man, its way better to grin and bear it. Richt will forgive him in 10 years but I am sure the man Logan Gray eventually becomes will want to kick his own rear end for this one day.

He wouldn’t have started at any school in the Big 12 (with the possible exception of Iowa State) so I don’t get the whining. He made Joe Cox look Montana-like and had every opportunity to best Mett or Murray in 2010.

He’s probably upset because Cox was annointed as the starter as soon as Stafford left….then when Cox left Murray was allowed to compete for and win the job…so yea, there were some double standards there and although he probably wouldn’t have won the job, he should have been able to compete w/ Cox for the job….don’t blame the kid

As someone I know used to say: there are three sides to every story, your side, my side, and the truth. Although looking at Richt and Bobo’s record, they only Quarterback they seem wedded to is the one that they believe gives them the best shot at winning. These are the same guys who platooned DJ and David Greene as well as played a freshman in Stafford then benched the guy halfway through a game because they thought Cox gave them a better shot to beat Colorado. So given the track record call me a little bit skeptical that Logan wasn’t given a chance to compete for the job if he truly was a capable player.

I was acquainted with some of Logan’s Georgia relatives so I had a bit of his perspective while he was with UGA. From what I recall, part of his issue was with Bobo telling him he was absolutely going to play, and then he didn’t. the first time was Okie State. Another time: do you recall the infamous South Carolina game when it came out on Wednesady that Logan was going to start over Cox? Do you think that was completely made up by the media? Apparently, this was during the peak of Richt CEO time period and Bobo had made that decision, but had not told Richt. When it came out, Richt heard it from the media and Bobo decided to act like he had never even made that decision.
After Cox left, Richt let Mettenberger play the G day game even though the decision that he would be kicked out had aleady been made. This did not sit well with Logan. There were other examples I heard at the time. None of this means that he should have played, or earned more time over others. From his perspective, he was jerked around by Bobo, and Richt was so out of touch at that time, he had no idea what was going on. He was hardly a cancer.

I don’t know if I buy all of that. Even at Richt’s most disconnected moments, he knew what was happening with the QBs.

So if he had every reason to be jilted by being jerked around by Bobo, that doesnt change the fact that he has a bad attitude about it. Cancer is cancer regardless of the cause. Ask Richard Samuel how not to be a cancer. Logan was part of the group that was labeled “cancer” by his teammates. Now he just confirmed it by his snarky remarks. To say he didnt have this same attitude or just kept it to himself while with the dawgs is delusional. How can you leave on “bad terms” and not be cancerous?
