PFF wants to build the perfect college quarterback, and to do that, it needs to borrow something from Georgia’s likely starter in 2020.
TOUCH: JAMIE NEWMAN, GEORGIA
One of the most heated debates in college football this offseason has been over who the third-best quarterback is behind Trevor Lawrence and Justin Fields. We here at PFF are among the few who have Georgia transfer Jamie Newman in that spot. The biggest reasons why we have Newman there are his underappreciated arm talent and how he made the most of a bad situation at Wake Forest. Specifically, Newman’s touch is really the key driver in this — it’s the best in the country. Newman displayed great touch when leading downfield last year and dropped numerous balls in the bucket over his receivers’ shoulders. He had 22 such completions last year, which tied for the most among Power-5 quarterbacks.
Newman’s top-notch touch is going to give Georgia something it didn’t really have with Jake Fromm: A formidable deep passing attack. Newman ranked second to only Burrow among Power-5 quarterbacks in deep (20-plus yard throws) passing grade last year with his great touch. He can thread the ball into tight windows with easy zip if need be or drop it perfectly over the receiver’s shoulder. And because of that, he’s our third-best quarterback in the country and looks poised for a big year with his supporting cast at Georgia.
From your lips to Gawd’s ears, fellas.

In fairness, that clip is against Elon. That’s like Georgia playing Mercer, except Mercer is much bigger. But point taken. I like the dawg porn.

They weren’t all against Elon.

Even against air, you have to have the arm strength and touch to put it in the right place.

One other thing about that play — it was 4th and three.

Let’s remember Newman’s only gonna get to throw the ball about 20 times a game.

Gosh I hope you don’t really believe that. CKS did not fire his OC, bring in one that espouses a balanced offence and recruit multiple high level receivers just to run the ball 45 times a game. No one is saying “Air Raid” but expect a more modern style of offense, certainly.

I’m not one of those that trashed Fromm. His leadership at Georgia speaks for itself; although I was shocked to see the text that he sent.
But my biggest concern/complaint was his lack of confidence of hitting the middle. Just by being able to hit that throw across the middle will prevent teams from stacking the box or doubling up on receivers running patterns to the outside or deep.
The forgotten player is Robinson. I expect this new scheme to play to his strengths and for him to have a killer year. And James out of the backfield – I think he is going to kill teams, once the deep ball is established.
