Hello (again), Newman.

Technically speaking, as we sit here right now, Georgia doesn’t have a quarterbacks coach.  If you take Jake Rowe at his word about Jamie Newman’s game, it sounds like it would be a good idea for Kirby to find somebody pretty soon.

Thoughts on his game: Wake Forest finished 8-5 in 2019 and Newman had a huge hand in that. He excels throwing the ball downfield and outside the numbers. He’s also really adept at the designed quarterback run where he can get behind his shoulder pads and run with power. He’s a very good scrambler but not elite. He can sometimes hold on to the ball too long and took some chances with the football last season that he may not have to take at UGA. Newman tends to look at the rush while extending plays instead of keeping his eyes downfield but he’s tough to bring down in the pocket and can get away from pressure. He just has to be more decisive when that happens and trust his running ability.  [Emphasis added.]

Not to say there isn’t good physical talent to work with, or even that there’s considerable upside to be seen, but good SEC defenses will eat some of those flaws alive.
