All this talk about Rashada committing to UGA, let’s not forget about Jayden Maiava. Until Rashada is attending classes and working out with the team his commitment and $10.00 will get you a cup of coffee at Starbucks

no

As long as the best one earns the starting job and stays at UGA it’s all good

Dawg@Heart On a serious note, Kirby didn’t make outlandish promises to Jacob Eason, Justin Fields, Jamie Newman, J-TD or Vandagriff, I doubt he started with Rashada. What Kirby promises – come to UGA and grind, pay your dues and you’ll get developed to your full potential. 3-star DB’s becoming Thorpe Winning, All-American, #1-round draft picks, kids like McConkey and Bennett getting drafted, Beck becoming a Heisman Trophy frontrunner, 3-Star OL and DL players becoming All-Americans and 1st round picks. Most likely Rashada went to Arizona State and learned that all the other kids on scholarship are pretty good football players as well, he wasn’t in a league by himself, and that his Uncle-Joe-Brains stinks just like everybody else’s. I’m really starting to like the idea of Stockton and Rashada battling it out to be the backup in 24 and the starter in 25.

Maybe, maybe not, young people grow and mature I wonder why Rashada didn’t consider Auburn, probably would have played if not started there next season

BOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!! (I think) Didn’t see this one coming; maybe Rashada has gone through an intensive attitude adjustment and he is ready to eat off the floor and grind. Is there anybody else in college football who can recruit, mange a roster and develop like Kirby Smart?

rules mean nothing, it’s all about the emotions de jour

What do A.J. Green and Todd Gurley get since they were suspended for literally getting a few bucks for memorabilia? And Pete Rose gets in the HOF asap

Joseph Jonah-Ajonye DL – made a name for himself during spring practice Ellis Robinson CB – uber talented, too good to not be on the field Jaden Reddell TE – already built for the NFL and he can block Daniel Calhoun OL – may not start as a true freshman but he could make the rotating corps for what is billed as one of the best O-lines in college football if not the best. Nate Frazier RB – with Paul transferring and Robinson coming off major knee injury Frazier may see the field as a freshman if he’s as good as his billing

Nussmeier was very impressive in the 2022 SECCG when he can in for Daniels. He displayed a lot of arm talent, pocket presence and gray matter. The UGA defense had to "wake up", get back into the game and adapt to Nussmeier.

I wasn’t picking on Bama and Milroe I just don’t see Milroe as good as being advertised. IMO at this juncture in Milroe’s career he’s another Milton or AR105, great on paper and potential but over-hyped based on results. Yes, if Milroe improves his passing then he will be a stellar QB. For a starting QB I’d take Beck, Cook, Dart, Ewers and Nussmeier over Milroe. Then, we’ve got Vandagriff and Iamaleava taking over the reins of their respective programs. Wasn’t Simpson one of the QB’s that was given a shot at starting for Bama at the beginning of the 2023 season? Only to have Saban come back to Milroe.

Going into the 2024 season as the #2 QB Stockton will a ton more reps running the offense than he has the last 2 seasons, Stockton should take it a notch or two this season. My biggest concern if Beck goes down is Bobo. Historically Bobo nuts up when he has to deal with starting line-up changes. As the roster stands now - if Beck and Stockton went down we would be hosed at QB.

Bama at #2 is mind boggling, on a good day that’s an ok QB room.

Ewers has a glass jaw so odds are Manning will get some support significant playing time this season.

Could it be the Texas defense isn’t that good? Wonder which defense Manning went against, starters or backups?

Excluding Rashada I’d be surprised if both Stockton and Puglisi are both still playing for UGA in 2026.

You’ve got to break a few eggs to make a good omelet. In the age of the portal and NIL I’m guessing the modus operandi is get as many QB’s in the room as possible and let competition run its course. Hopefully the one, or two, that stay with the program are the cream

I’d be surprised to see Rashada land at UGA The dude is a prima donna, a princess - he’s about as stable a clean pair of depends on Uncle Joe. Backed out of his commitment to UF over a few shekels and now he’s leaving ASU. We saw what happened with Jamie Newman when Kirby wouldn’t promise him the starting job and he wasn’t the best QB in the room. I can’t image Kirby and Bobo wanting to go down that road, nor Rashada wanting to go to a program where he’ll have to grind with no promise of starting.

LuvDaDik You saw a TDOW comment and you did pee yourself; the Sun rises each and every morning, LuvDaDik chases TDOW all over SDS, immutable laws of nature.

The “Joe Burrows” only come once a generation; Burrow truly was a generational player. I wouldn’t bet a nickel that Montgomery is the next Joe Burrow.

entice new coach with golden parachute contract, buy-out assures generational wealth hype new coach to the moon before he coaches his first game create cult following for new coach demand the coach win now, accept nothing less abandon all patience and disregard for the realities of the current environment when no championship is won in the 1st, 2nd or 3rd season berate and mock coach replace cult following with lynch mob bring about the coach’s 2nd happiest day on Earth, fire him and initiate the contract buy-out process repeat process Is that the fail-proof recipe for maintaining a perennial power-house program, or, a dressed scheme to play the lottery, play often enough and sooner or later you’ll win, maybe

Picking up a highly rated QB (the kid is considered the #14 QB out of literally thousands across the country) is a big deal. Given today’s NIL and the portal environment getting a good QB each and every recruiting cycle is an absolute must. Speaking for myself, my excitement is for the program not necessarily over Montgomery; I didn’t know a whole bunch about him until he committed to UGA. If Kirby and staff recruited and pursued the kid then the kid a great prospect who Kirby and Company think will add to the program – In Kirby I Trust. Regarding Montgomery’s rating, he compares very favorably to Beck and Puglisi. Monty is 170 nationally, 14 position and 8 in Ohio Beck was 234 nationally, 5 position and 33 in Florida Pug was 143 nationally, 10 position and 2 in CT. (Not so sure being #2 in CT is as good as being 8 in Ohio or 33 in FL.) Both Eason and Fields were rated above Fromm. Both Vandagriff and Stockton were rated above Beck. Everybody and their mother was rated above Stetson Bennett. Monty has good size, great arm overall talent, decent arm strength, decent mobility and is apparently a very good basketball player. Most importantly is Monty supposed to be way above average between the ears which 95% of being a good QB. Everybody wants the Ferrari when in reality the sporty, high-performance Toyota model is the much better car to have. The Ferrari is drop-dead gorgeous, boasts better “numbers” and is a World beater on paper. However when it comes to driving daily, cost of ownership, reliability, longevity and solid performance the Toyota is a 100x better car. My dream scenario would be Monty provides UGA will solid depth behind an All-SEC/All-American, Heisman Finalist starting QB. But who knows, maybe Monty is that guy.

“TCU Star DT Damonic Williams intends to enter the transfer portal” 6’2 320lbs – 2022 Freshman All-American, 2023 Honorable Mention Big-12 Maybe Damonic wants to win a Natty

“Montgomery had whittled his list of offers down to a final 3 of Florida, Georgia and South Carolina. In the end, Montgomery was unable to turn down Kirby “ (let’s see, I could have a date with Elizabeth Hurley, Rosie O'Donnell or Whoopi Goldberg – decisions, decisions, decisions … ) That’s great strategy for not only Life but all endeavors. Once should never fail because he aimed to low. Aim high and if you miss the target then “being average” will be the consolation prize. The doors at UF and USCar will always be open for a dude like Montgomery, the same can’t be said about the opportunity to be a Dawg.

BBBOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM!!!!!’ If only Kirby Dumbs could recruit and manage QB’s …. I’m not a Bobo apologist but I recall some Dawg fans commenting that Bobo would be terrible for QB recruiting when Bobo was elevated to OC. I hate to be the bearer of good news, but the QB room is doing just fine under Bobo’s direction.

Can't hide class! But I guess being Bama's perma-bytch, UGA's perma-bytch, UF's perma-bytch, Mizzou's current bytch, UK's 50/50 bytch, USCar's record-setting bytch, Vandy's 2-in-a-row bytch etc will do that to you. I wonder which mid-tier team will curb stomp UT this season?

So Deliverance was a documentary???? Weren't reality stars Jed, Granny, Jethro, Ellie May, Pearl and Jethrine of the Beverly Hillbillies reality show from Tennessee? Coincidence? I don’t think so. See how that works skippy?

We all know who UGA’s last Heisman winner was just like we know who UF’s last Heisman winner was. The Heisman is turning into the Nobel Prize, it use to really mean something but not so much anymore. Just like the Noble Peace Prize is rigged for leftists, the Heisman is rigged for the QB for the gaudiness numbers or whichever QB is the Sport’s Media BFF De Jour. Who had the best stats as a college QB – Tebow or Stetson Bennett? Stetson was a 2-time Back-to-Back NC winning QB, 2-time CFP Player of the Game and 2-time NC Player of the Game but was a Heisman finalist only once. Heisman aside, who accomplished more at the college level – Bennett or Baker Mayfield, Bennett or Kyler Murray, Bennett or Lamar Jackson, Bennett or Caleb Williams, Bennett or Bryce Young? Jaden Daniels had some gaudy numbers but what did his team accomplish; in his one head-to-head duel with Bennett he lost the SECCG 50-30? Look at Bennett’s final season stats and consider the fact that Bennett was pulled in the 3rd quarter of 6 games and Kirby goes into mercy mode as soon as the game is no longer in doubt (Kirby didn’t even play Beck in the 2nd half of this season’s Orange Bowl.) Compare Bennett’s 2022 stats to those of Mayfield, Murray, Young and Williams when they won the Heisman. The Heisman doesn’t even always correlate to the best college QB.

A few more branches on the family tree wouldn’t hurt them either … And there’s never enough loose cousins to go around; you take one that’s cute, swallows, on the pill and splits firewood - she wins the beauty pageant at the family reunion all day any day!

Times be good when your “one, big need” is a 3rd or 4th string QB. I’d like to go on record as stating UGA’s biggest need is a wrecking-ball DL like a Jordan Davis or a Jalen Carter. If UGA had another Davis or Carter on the DL for 24 I wouldn’t hesitate to pick them as the NC favorite.
