“And Georgia fans, don’t be turds. Enjoy this. Soak it up. It’s awesome. If you don’t win this year, it’s still not a failure. It’s a heck of a run. Back-to-back in the Playoff era hasn’t been done. So, to ask for a third I feel like it’s gluttonous. I feel like it’s not OK. But we’ll be in the mix.”-- David Pollack, On3.com, 5/9/23

I have been wondering where the young guns have been in the mix. If Daniels is hurt (and I have to believe it’s something like that) and Stet can’t take us all the way, you’ve got to wonder if the other two guys could bring something to the table here in the home stretch. Their playing time this year has been pretty damn inauspicious, though, I must say.

No disrespect to the young man, but Carson Beck is not the answer for any game being played the rest of this season. And as talented as he is, I don’t think you can put BVG out there to take on Michigan or Alabama unless Stetson and JT are both on crutches.

The truth is we have very little judge Carson by. In the games that he has been in it is already garbage time. He is in with 2s and 3s and he’s trying to prove himself and he gets excited and makes a mistake, but he clearly has a gun. He can play QB for someone. That said, it isn’t fair to put him or BVG in as a starter in a play off game. Unless everybody else is hurt or we are cruising they shouldn’t have to play.

All that might be true. Senior season wasn’t nearly as good however. A very close friend of mine that lives in Clearwater and played college football at UNLV back in the Randall Cunningham and Ickey Woods days. Since he had his oldest son as a senior in the 2019 fall season, he saw Beck play a few times. He told me way back when Beck was signed that he didn’t think Beck was nearly as good as his star ranking and didn’t think that he would ever be a big time college QB.

And Saban never had to face a Saban!
At the 6-year mark of each of their respective HC careers, I actually find Kirby’s achievements to be more impressive.

Did his play ever deserve having his ass pried out of the seat? Tell me one time that a QB who was on campus at the time outplayed him.
The only time in 3 years where Fromm really deserved the hook was the LSU game in 2018. In 2019 against South Carolina, who would you have substituted Fromm with?
LikeLiked by 2 people
My counter to that would be did Kelly Bryant at Clemson ever play really poorly to the point Dabo had no choice but to bench him in favor of Trevor Lawrence? No, but you play the most talented guy at every position, especially the most important one, even if the incumbent previously led you to the playoff the year before. You should also probably adapt your offense to a generational talent on e you’ve signed them.

I’ve said Fields should have played at LSU when Fromm struggled. If you have a problem with the number of passes, point at Kirby and Chaney.
Guess what? Bryce Young threw 22 passes against 7 SEC opponents last year. He didn’t decide to take his ball and go home because he wasn’t anointed the starter over Mac Jones.

Mac was having literally the best passing year ever. And the offense was proven at generating draft value for its starters.
Yes, I think Kirby and Chaney blew it on multiple fronts.
LikeLike
No issue there. I’m just making the parallel that the Fields family (for whatever reason) decided that he wouldn’t stay in Athens to compete for the job. I’m convinced that he knew Fromm was going to stay all 4 years, so he may not get the chance to start until his senior year (he knew the path to starting immediately would be better in Columbus). He threw a similar number of passes in SEC games to Young.
LikeLike
But that’s the really crazy part. Fromm didn’t. Left to be a practice squad guy in the NFL. Kirby invested 3 years in him, and he bailed after a bad year. And then Newman bailed.
The Stetson thing in a vacuum is weird. In context, I get the alarm.
