Are you serious with this coaching staff?So why would you think that the coaching staff would not play this best player? If he was better than the others he would have started.
Because the best player on any team is the backup QB.So why would you think that the coaching staff would not play this best player? If he was better than the others he would have started.
Your wording "Or they should" is the crux of the situation. This coaching staff has done all they could do to avoid a QB controversy at the expense of some fine players, the morale of the team, and the possibility that their "consensus vote" at QB put RH's health at risk.
I have heard all I ever want to hear again about this staff's ability to impartially judge a particular player's capabilities on the field.
True but I trust this staff’s QB Evaluation as much as I trust a backwoods lawyer .
I think in general this statement makes sense but when dealing with this coaching staff, I’m not sure they know what a good quarterback looks like.So why would you think that the coaching staff would not play this best player? If he was better than the others he would have started.
Kentucky took a WR, put him at QB and let him do nothing but run. Bowl game.
We kept trotting out an injured pocket passer, even when we had NOBODY that could catch the ball.
I'm not a big fan of the transfer portal, but if I were Joyner, I'd have left WEEKS ago.
To be a quality SEC quarterback you have to be able to THROW the ball effectively that is his weakness.
Bottomline is this offense is TOTALLY devoid of playmakers other than Edwards . Dak is head and shoulders the most elusive and dynamic athlete on the field and we did a terrible job getting the ball in his hands . A lot of UGA fans last year said Justin Fields wasn’t a QB . Ok . How many NFL teams scoffed at Lamar . He’s the MVP . This staff is talent Kryptonite. I fully expect Dak and Bentley to thrive elsewhere .
Those two passes he threw were beautiful. Probably two of his best plays of the year (out of his limited reps). His boring, predictable QB keepers didn't fool anyone.100% agree. Everybody who says Dak isn't a QB is basing it on what someone told them. How would you know he isn't a QB if he never gets the chance to throw the ball? He actually had two really excellent passes before he was hurt at A&M. I feel like he would have been better for us this season with our terrible OL. Plus, look at Hillinski's stats. They aren't exactly good. He had two good games with Alabama and the FCS school we played. I think that Joyner would have helped us win against TENN and App State.
Those keepers are on the coaches not him.Those two passes he threw were beautiful. Probably two of his best plays of the year (out of his limited reps). His boring, predictable QB keepers didn't fool anyone.

That was the problem. It wasn't like they were RPOs, they were QB runs all the way--like the defense didn't know it was coming....
Yup....most QBs need game time to show out. If he never plays, he'll likely never develop.And you know this because? He didn't get many chances to throw the ball. He made some great throws when he was given his chance. He certainly wasn't worse than Hillinski; plus, Hillinski was hurt, so he probably shouldn't have been playing.
I would highly doubt a new OC would make any difference.I've been hesitant to post this, but my good friend is one of Dak's former coaches. He said he's hearing it's likely Dak will transfer. But he may be waiting to see who the new OC is. TIFWIW.
Lest there be any confusion, my comment on his boring, predictable QB runs was an indictment on the coaches, *not* DJ.
The UGA fans who said this were idiots. Field is 100% a QB. He’s also 100% better than anything Dak could ever do on offense.Bottomline is this offense is TOTALLY devoid of playmakers other than Edwards .

I agree with much of this. I would really like to have a quarterback with enough escapability to extend plays. I suppose Connor Shaw spoiled me. But our quarterback this year had virtually no help at all. Aside from Edwards, everything around him was spotty at best.Here was my frustration.. as good as Hillinski supposedly is , he had no chance to succeed with his skill set this year . We had the worst OL In the SEC , disappointment at the RB position and besides Edwards a very mediocre to bad WR unit . A drop back QB with no protection , no running game , and receivers who can’t separate or make plays is doomed . If nothing else give Dak a few easy reads and if they aren’t there .. take off and move the chains . Honestly it can’t get any worse than the results we had .
Haha - it’s all good. After rereading *my* initial post, I can see where it could have been taken differently. Oftentimes what seems perfectly clear in our heads can become less so once in type.Sorry man, I was agreeing with you, but reading it now, it appears I phrased awkwardly. You are correct in your assessment and I agree completely.

Wasn’t Dak hurt several times this season?

Me either. Neither does his former coach.I would highly doubt a new OC would make any difference.
I don’t think there were many in that category.....I remember when fans were paralyzed with fear that McIlwain was going to transfer and win two Heismans.
Yes but that’s nothing new for Muschamp . I heard Cocky was gonna need a beak replacement this off season.
That stinks if true. I hate it for him, but hopefully he lands in a good place and has a lot of success!He gone. Word is that he is already telling teammates and other folks on campus "goodbye". Charleston Southern or another small school for transfer.
