The decision is in: Jake Fromm announces his plans for the 2020 season
According to all the buzz coming out of Athens leading up to this decision, Jake Fromm was genuinely torn on whether to return to Georgia for one final season. After much thought and prayer, the Bulldog quarterback announced his decision to leave school early for the 2020 NFL Draft.
During his three seasons in Athens, Fromm led Georgia to a 36-7 record as a starting quarterback including three SEC East titles — something no SEC quarterback has ever accomplished in his first three seasons as a team’s starter. The Bulldogs won the 2017 SEC Championship Game in Fromm’s freshman season.
In addition to Georgia’s overall success during Fromm’s time as a starter, the Bulldog QB also put up some incredible numbers during his time in Athens. For his career, Fromm completed 63.3 percent of his passes for 8.236 yards with 78 touchdowns and only 18 interceptions. He also scored three rushing touchdowns — all of which came during his freshman season.
With Fromm now deciding to leave Georgia, the offseason overhaul on the offensive side of the ball continues in Athens as the team’s starting quarterback joins running back D’Andre Swift and offensive linemen Andrew Thomas, Isaiah Wilson and Solomon Kindley as players that have declared early for the 2020 NFL Draft.
Now the big question in Athens surrounds the status of offensive coordinator James Coley. Will Kirby Smart replace Coley after one season or will they keep him and still retool the offense in new ways with so many new faces on that side of the ball?

A little surprised. He was a good one!
DGD
I’m surprised too. Another year would have been good for him but the big dollars plus the threat of injuries pushes these guys out the door.
Not sure another year would have helped. Heck he would have been better off coming out last year(if possible) than this year. He could take another step back. He wasn’t very accurate this year, he needs a good combine/pro day. Can’t throw behind guys or over them. I don’t know that he will be anything more than Aaron Murray in the nfl.
Second that. I thought Aaron Murray was a much better QB. Fromm was off this year.
Never really gave this one a second thought… just knew he’d come back. DGD and high character young man! Hope he does well in the league. Please Kirby DO NOT bring Franks in off the transfer portal!
HA Now that’s funny
Nobody wants a piece of that offensive mess in Athens.
3rd and Grantham certainly doesn’t want a piece of it.
HAHAHAHA! Including the self proclaimed All World Defense at the University of Florida. Fromm smoked the Gators every time he played him. But thanks for stopping by!
well Jake Good luck Go Dawgs and God Bless.
QB position will be heated in spring practices and next season.
Dam mit man, Fromm leaving…thanks for giving it all and leading by example Jake. Your a dgd and one heckuva role model.
I was completely convinced he would choose to stay. I guess he got good feedback from the NFL. Good for him, too bad for us. Good luck to him!
Agreed – this wasn’t even on my radar as I get he was definitely coming back.
I was hoping he would come back. Great kid, great work ethic, not an elite QB.
9/19/20 will be interesting to say the least.
God, what a snot-nosed troll.
I’m just saying. I wanted him back for you guys. It seems like y’all like this kid. Why is that so bad?
The fact he tries to hide it with all the “what did I say” BS makes it even worse
What do you disagree with that I said guy?
If I said the same about Hurts, who some would argue is a good, but not elite QB, I think most Bama fans would take offense at acting like a great QB returning is somehow a good thing for opponents. Very arrogant.
What do you consider elite Kirby? He had a better season than Murray and Mayfield did their Heisman year. Poor argument to attempt to make, be better.
Hurts was a great kid, a great runner, and a great leader. In no way is Hurts an elite, barely serviceable passer. He was terrible. He was lost in the biggest games. I don’t take exception to that at all. Call a spade a spade.
Ok, if our standards are this high (though I would take 2018 Jake over any version of Hurts).u
Fromm isn’t an elite QB. Nothing he said was out of line. Fromm was a great QB for us, but he isn’t an NFL starter. He’s just not.
So, who are our QBs either already there or being pursued ?
Beck and Mathis have zero playing time (incoming Freshman, RS Sophomore due to medical reason) , Bennett is heir-apparent for now but don’t be surprised if Beck or Mathis take over.
I wouldn’t be shocked if we go a grad transfer or a portal QB either. Staring a freshman @ Bama 9/20 won’t turn out well
I just don’t think anybody in the portal besides maybe D’eriq King is worth it.
I’d say Georgia will try to get someone out of the portal. Kirby, say what you want about Florida, but if Georgia were to get King, storyline alone, it would make the Florida-Georgia game that much more interesting considering Trask was his backup in high school.
Phil Jurkovec from Notre Dame just entered the Portal. UGA needs to get a visit with him asap. Very talented kid who doesn’t want to wait another year behind Ian Book.
If we go after Jurkovec (or King, fingers crossed) we need to move on from Coley. I don’t see how a dual threat guy can thrive in his offense.
The stats just aren’t eye-popping for these guys at all. I’d rather plug in Beck or Mathis and get ready for the future. I see no reason why UF shouldn’t be comfortably favored to win the East next season, though.
I’d be willing to bet that King goes to TransferQBU. Oklahoma.
They seem pretty hyped for Spencer Rattler.
I would agree if the portal didn’t exist. I fully expect a transfer to be starting next year. Costello or Newman would be great. Not sure if King has graduated and thus would need a waiver.
Those are the three names on my radar. Jamie Newman is at the top of it because he’s the only one of the three that was good last year, and he was VERY good (PFF gave him an 87.7 grade, which is very strong.) I know he’s interested in Oregon too, will be a good battle. Hope he’s at the top of our list!
I’ve heard Newman is essentially a priority. We have Bennett, Mathis and Beck. With Bennett and Mathis with any experience. I’d give the nod to Bennett. But Newman would be a huge get.
Mathis has some, just not significant. Not actual official game play.
He had some moments in the Gday game for sure
I do not think Kirby will goes Grad Transfer. I just don’t see anyone worth taking game time away from Beck or Mathis unless he believes this is truly his only window.
Fromm came in as a first time starter against Notre Dame, on the road, primetime. This is now a very common occurrence. I much rather stick with Mathis or Beck and hope for the best.
Yeah the more I think about it I kind of agree. King would be awesome if we had a different coordinator. But bringing him in might just piss off Mathis or Beck and put them in the portal. Probably not worth it for 1 year. Mathis is interesting. Going to be good battle. Let the best Dawg win
Eh, he might bring in a grad transfer and then transition to Vandagriff or Williams…I sort of hope. Those two have much higher ceilings than Beck or Mathis.
This makes the miss on Stroud sting a whole lot.
He knew next year with Lawrence and Fields that it would be tough to crack top 5 again. Smart Decision. Great leader.
Lol, and please enlighten us, what will it take for Vandy to crack the Top 5 (or Top 50)?
CFP wins:
Jake Fromm 1
Justin Fields 0
Based on Lawerence name being mentioned, I believe he was referring to Top 5 QB pick. Not the team.
CFP losses:
Jake Fromm 1
Justin Fields 1
Who the heck else exists besides those two?
Sam Ehlinger – Texas
JT Daniels (if healthy) – USC
Kellen Mond – A&M
Brady White – Memphis
Ehlinger is actually a decent comp to Fromm, and he’s going back to Texas.
What kind of moron would take any of those guys over Fromm?
You asked who else exists.. just giving other qbs that’ll be drafted that year.
KirbySmart Mind is projected to be a first round pick, Fromm a 3rd-5th rounder.
There’s also:
Cole McDonald- Hawaii,Brock Purdy-Iowa state,Tanner Morgan-Minnesota, Kyle Trask-Florida,and Jamie Newman/D’Eriq King/KJ Costello- Transfer Portal to watch for.
*Mond
Given the number of NFL teams in need of a QB doesn’t surprise me he went even if he is more of a 2nd to 3rd round pick.
As a QB, why come out early to go in the 3rd round? I hope he got a better draft grade than that.
He likely wouldn’t be any higher up the chain next year — his draft stock likely had no place to go but down. I’m sad to see him go, but wish him the best.
I tend to agree. If he had a resurgent year it might have gone up a little, but I think teams know how good he is. His main limitations are physical, which won’t improve much from another year in college. Heartbreaking for the Dawgs, but pulling for Jake.
He will be lucky to be 3rd round. If he goes that early, it will be because of his leadership skills.
Dude STFU already. You’re a troll. Eff off
I’m not trolling man. I saw a QB who regressed this year. You are suppose to get better. Is that not what you watched all year?
He is a serviceable QB. Like an AJ Mccarron. 3rd round.
What made him a troll if I may ask?
I’m just trying to figure out if it’s the same thing you do on Bama articles that makes him a troll…
Just curious…
You’re absolutely trolling. Your backhanded, passive aggressive comments are ridiculous. It’s your MO. At least own it.
Maybe you are just sensitive… I don’t know man. I don’t know you, but you don’t know me either. Not trolling.
All I said was he is not Elite. Which he isn’t. 1st round is typically reserved for elite. I hope he does well. And I’m sure Georgia will figure out the best QB for next year. You better hope that Defense can slow down Bama, cause you sure won’t outscore them without Fromm.
Maybe I am sensitive…or maybe you’re a troll. I’m leaning towards the latter…
Don’t be a sissy girl your whole life. Facts are facts. Not trolling. No one believes Fromm is elite. He is serviceable.
Instead of trying to discredit someone as a troll who is stating facts and making a case for his point, maybe debate what I said. Present your side of the story. Use your critical thinking skills instead of just labeling people.
LOL ok toughguy. Easy to talk while hiding behind your computer. I’m not surprised. Most trolls are keyboard cowboys.
Again, Debate the points. Make your case for why Fromm is elite? What do you disagree with?
RollTide_N_Colorado, this UGA fan actually agrees with you. Fromm is a very good college QB.
But for the life of me, I don’t see much difference at all between him and Aaron Murray (except for a couple inches in height).
And Aaron Murray never played a down in the NFL.
I shocked Fromm left early. I wish him well and congratulate his financial security, but frankly I don’t see him as a pro star.
I never said he was elite. You said “He will be lucky to be 3rd round” which is ridiculous. Stop acting like you’re not here to troll. It’s obvious to everyone here. Then you want to call people “sissy girl”. You don’t know me. The only reason you feel you can say these things is because you know you’ll never have to say them to my face. You are a troll. You are an internet toughguy. You are pathetic.
Aaron Murray, great comparison. A Georgia fan who can articulate their ideas without acting like a jack wagon.
I wish him well. He could have used another year with some better WRs.
UGADAWG78 ….You are one scary dude…. Please don’t show up at my house…..
Don’t act like I’m the one trying to act tough
Harsh truth isn’t trolling. There are at least 3 surefire qb’s that will be taken before Fromm (burrow, tua, Hebert.) At best Fromm will get selected in the 2nd round, but don’t be surprised if he falls anywhere in the 3-5 round.
There’s a good chance he doesn’t get out of the 1st round with the QB needy teams drafting on the back half of that round.
There is plenty of teams that could use a QB this year… It honestly makes sense For him to declare.
Great player and seems to be an even better person. I wish him luck in the NFL and certainly won’t miss him looking like a combination of Joe Montana, Peyton Manning, and Joe Montana next year in Jacksonville.
Maybe Grantham will stay now :)
haha…Fromm has nothing to do with Grantham staying.
A Florida fan comes to this article and says nothing but positive things about your QB (when there’s a lot of negative to be said) and you still can’t help yourself but to try to take a jab at Florida in your response. That’s just further proof that beating Florida is all that matters to Georgia fans and it’s gonna be that much better when Florida reclaims the top spot in the SEC East and sends Georgia back to fighting Tennessee for 2nd place.
Try to have a little class. It’s a heated rivalry, but Kirby’s time of living off of his recruiting covering up his inability to out-coach anyone with comparable talent is coming to an end soon and your fall from the top is gonna be a tough one for you. Another year or 2, you’ll be first in line demanding Kirby be fired.
Lighten up Francis…It was obviously a joke
Funny how dumb-dumb Kirby managed to out-coach Mullen’s wizard offense into a near-shutout until the 4th quarter and coached him into bleeding his first two timeouts before I had even gotten comfortable on the couch.
The Florida fan referenced Jake’s success in Jacksonville and I know for a fact that Grantham is the main fixture of most Florida fan’s wrath over Fromm’s success.
Keep using the “talent” excuse all you want, but it’s really not true–whatever happened to Florida’s elite defensive playmakers and ridiculously loaded WR corps? Or blue-chip RBs like Perine and Pierce?
Talent acquisition is a part of coaching, not just fancy offensive playcalling. Kirby’s offense was 14th in the country last year. I doubt they’ll stay at 51st.
Yeah I agree. They act like Mullet is genius and Kirby is an idiot but truth is Mullet is an offensive coach and Smart is a defensive coach. And when they meet Smart’s defenses pummel Mullet’s offenses. Every time.
It’s 2030, and Mullen still doesn’t have the “right QB” for his imaginary death star system.
i’d prefer grantham leave tbh.
Wonder what happened to the KirbySmart poster on here. He’s gone from being a good dude to a semi-troll like several of the other UGA fans.
I think he realized with losing 4 starting OLineman, starting RB, both starting TEs, the starting D line and another 5 defensive contributers, next year would be a rough year for him. His last 6 games of this year his passing completion percentage was 49%. It probably wouldn’t have been better next year. Smart move to cut and run while the money is there.
That’s a good point–all these o-line departures and the fresh faces at RB, plus Coley’s return, don’t set up well for a rebound in 2020.
I think this year he goes cause he can sneak into the back half of that first round where there’s a team with a 40+ year old QB either staying for another year or hitting free agency. Patriots OR Saints. Both places would be good landing spots for him. Both teams are likely to draft a QB this year and not next year. He won’t be a top 5 pick and that’s probably good for him. He won’t end up on a struggling team like the Bengals or Dolphins.
@MattyJ,
I like where your head’s at. I tolerate the Patriots because they have a long history of drafting Dawgs as far back as Robert Edwards. I DESPISE the Saints and it was hard seeing Jonathan Sullivan, Charles Grant and others on their roster, so here’s to the Patriots taking Fromm.
Well, consider this as well – Fromm will probably have a great combine, both throwing and in meetings. Tua might not be able to throw and might get a medical report of “how is this guy even alive?”. Suddenly, the narrative changes totally.
Even then I don’t think Fromm would go above Tua. I’m starting to hear that there’s no way that the dolphins let Tua go past 5 and if they do, the chargers are there at 6.
That and Tua seems to be doing a bit better already. Even throwing on a very limited basis. Walking with a minimal limp. I’m thinking his early prognosis is gonna be just fine.
If he doesn’t have a setback he does seem to be progressing very well..
He may work himself back into competition with burrow for that number 1 spot although I think he’d rather be in Miami than Cincy.
Seeing Tua go to Cincy would break my heart. He deserves better. I felt the same about Chubb and Cleveland
Late first round? why would you take him that early when he would be there in the 3rd, or later?
Because he might not be. The Patriots and Saints might play a game of chicken with Fromm. The Patriots might risk letting him go to the second, but what if the saints pick him up a pick or two later or vice versa? I think the patriots and Saints are essentially picking right next to each other. When it comes to QBs, you don’t risk someone else grabbing the guy you need, and this is a guy that both teams would need.
You’re right. He could go 1st round. I hope the young man does well. Back up Brees for a couple, learn reads and game speed. It could happen.
There is no way Fromm is going to the Pats. Brady has 2-3 more years and that gives them time groom Stidham to replace him.
No way the Pats go for Fromm in the first couple rounds. They have a solid backup for Brady in Stidham so no way they waste an early pick on a qb. The saints MIGHT consider it since Bridgewater only has a year left, but they also have a good qb in Hill, so I don’t really see then going for another qb either.
This. Matty, we’ve been on the same wavelength lately.
I like fromm from a rivals perspective. The guy wasn’t scared of Jacob Eason and then played well enough to make fields transfer. Fromm is a true stud in my mind who always did things right. Hate that he was 3-0 against Florida.
With that being said, him and swift leaving should make Florida the preseason east favorites. Looking forward to seeing the season play out
Yeah, if Mullen’s going to beat Kirby, then next year sets up for it on a silver platter.
IDK if that’s enough to suddenly switch the narrative. It isn’t like Georgia was world beaters on offense the previous season, it’s the defense that kept them afloat.
We will know for sure well before Jacksonville, so I guess it’s wait and see.
The defense did keep them in games. But somehow Fromm will go in the 1st? I mean maybe.
Have you ever watched Tyler Simmons and Matt Landers play? It’s horrifying.
Can’t be that bad? Bad routes, bad scheme, or bad receiver coaching?
It is definitely that bad. Landers could drop a football if you super glued it to his hands………
Thats terrible. Who you got coming in to fix this? Who is the next AJ Green. That kid was dominate. I hated him.
Pickens isn’t as polished as AJ, but he should be just as productive as him especially with a good offseason. If Darnell Washington can up to speed, Blaylock healthy, and these incoming freshman get up to speed …I think we’re fine.
If Blaylock recovers fully and at least one out of the incoming 3 (Smith, Rosemy, and Burton) can fully contribute. Plus Kearis getting healthy for once would be nice. The main thing is just getting someone to take attention away from Pickens. But honestly our run game has a monumental task ahead of it this year as well.
What happened to Riley Ridley? He torched Bama several times in the NC.
Cade Mays is now transferring? What is that 4 starting offensive lineman gone with Fromm and Swift? That’s tough to overcome for any program. That defense better score a lot of TD’s if you think that’s what’s going to keep the narrative from switching.
Again….it isn’t like the offense was world beaters…It isn’t a lack a talent at OL. It isn’t a lack of talent at running back. Georgia looked absolutely fine against Baylor with mostly backups on that line, and swift did not run the ball but once? I believe.
Your strongest point is at QB. Which again, I don’t think is enough to change the narrative with Beck coming in as an Early Enrolee and Mathis possibly being healthy enough to go.
Also not sure why this is the hill Florida fans want to die on?
Florida didn’t have a single O-lineman who could have started for Georgia this year.
Florida still won’t break 17 points on us. We’re fine.
Jay.cardea what’s your point? So your offense was trash with an elite rb, a stud oline, a good three year qb who took you to a NC. You have a below avg OC and an outdated offense. Your losing your qb, oline, and stud running back and you think you’ll be better on offense? What indication do you have on that? One game? If you were getting a new OC I’d get your optimism but ur not
Ben my point is clear.
“IDK if that’s enough to suddenly switch the narrative. ”
The point was very apparent. The offense was trash last year, and they beat Florida and won the east. Not sure why the narrative that their favorites to win the east would change because the offense is a question mark again. It was a question mark before Fromm left.
And what optimism did I share that was based on one game? I said the OL and backs don’t lack talent, and they looked fine against Baylor. That wasn’t followed by THAT MEANS WE’RE GOING TO SCORE A HUNDRED. Not sure where you’re getting that notion from. They’re going to at very least be status quo on offense, which was enough to win the east.
Which..again…is the entire point. 2020 recruiting not even officially over and somehow magically the narrative is supposed to change.
And the offensive line was better in the bowl game with Thomas, Wilson and Swift on the sidelines!!
So like you expect the offense to be at least the same with a worse running back, brand new o line, brand new qb and 1 proven receiver. Does that even sound remotely logical? Are you bringing in a more talented QB than Fromm because atm I don’t see it. You don’t have a RB better than swift. Maybe your new olineman better at run blocking but I doubt it’s significant because why wouldn’t you start them this year then? The biggest issue is your OC and breaking in so many players at key positions with you wr and TE being underwhelming this year idk how you can say that the offense will remain status quo. What makes you think the offense won’t get worse?
The thing is that even with a different QB and a brand new O line, UGA should be able to put up about 20-27 points even against great defenses. But the UGA defense is basically coming back totally intact. They won’t give up many 20 point games.
True. LSU and Alabama will break the 40’s, but you should be fine other then that.
LSU scored 37 with Burrow but they’re gonna break 40 without him? OK
Solid hair-split.
Alabama also surrenders mid-40’s, so we’ll take our chances.
Not to teams that run an offense from 1979 they don’t.
No Tua, no Jeudy, no Ruggs, two starting O-line gone. Good luck that 40.
I’d be more worried about what you’re losing. You might have noticed over the past decade or so that Alabama tends to work these things out.
I’m excited about 5* dual threat Bryce Young competing against Mac Jones, Taulia Tagovailoa and Paul Tyson. Bryce Young is going to be hard to beat out.
20 to 27 doesn’t get you in any playoff, SECCG, or a good bowl game in this high powered offense football we see today. Unless you have a lock down D, which could happen,
3 shutouts is pretty dang close to a lock down D, but the departures of Tyler Clark and JR Reed are going to hurt a lot more than most are thinking, I believe. Plus, Bama’s D is probably going to massively improve next year, like 2010 to 2011.
God I hope you are right about Bama’s D. I got tired of defending them. Some of the mistakes were indefensible.
Too many youngsters, but the growing pains will pay off, unfortunately.
It got them to the SECCG this year and hopefully things get a little better next year. Hard to tell though because it looks like the WRs will be the most experienced position. Could be a good thing though.
The Ga defense is in all likelihood even better and you (Florida) have significant attrition at WR. The Ga OL will be completely new for the most part but they have recruited the heck out of that position for four years. The Ga running game will be better I believe and I expect Luke to do a better job with the talent. If Ga starts a freshman at QB then I would give UF the edge. If they bring in someone like Costello then I think it is all UGA.
The Gators have lost some good senior receivers, but return 3 guys that had 20 or more receptions including Pitts who was the #2 receiver, and that’s not even counting Toney who is yet to decide on his future and many believe will return. Hardly significant attrition. We’ll be just fine at that position next season.
Gosh, this sucks. Amazing player and absolute gentleman. The perfect face of a program who never snapped back at the hordes of fans (myself included) who doubted and whined about him over and over.
I have literally no idea what we’ll do next year. Jeez. A lot of rebuilding to do on the o-line and at RB.
I am surprised as his first year was his best and seemed to be declining in each successive year. I thought for sure he would return.
2017 Georgia SEC FR QB 15 181 291 62.2 2615 9.0 9.6 24 7 160.1
*2018 Georgia SEC SO QB 14 207 307 67.4 2761 9.0 10.1 30 6 171.3
I don’t know if this will post properly, but……statistically you are absolutely incorrect.
Yeah his sophomore year was way better. His Junior year was a bit off from the other two but that was due to that really rough stretch he played where things just didn’t look right.
I understand that the talent around him has changed because of players leaving but he was a lot less crisp in his throws this year than in the previous years. If he came back and has a great year he might get up to the top of the first round. I have seen some projections that list a third round. His parents aren’t poor so they don’t need the money now so it’s better to wait and get a higher draft position.
To that same point, if his parents have money why Risk your NFL career if you can go second or third? The projections are all over the place, so you can throw the mocks out of the window.
Good person and QB. He didn’t show anything to be drafted in the first couple of rounds, but coming back with Coley still there wasn’t going to improve his stock.
What a fine, talented young man ! Kinda like the one you wished your daughter had married, right ? I wish Jake great success in his NFL career. I too, felt that he’d come back to show the scouts that 2019 was an aberration, but a lot of us were mistaken about that. Lots of Luck, Jake !
I thought he would come back and improve his stock along with trying to win a NC. Somewhat surprising decision. Where does he go in the draft? I would think late first at best.
I think late first at best also, but if he doesn’t go Late first..unless a team trades up then I’m thinking late second.
Plot twist. Fromm gets picked over Burrow!
In football?
Great kid with outstanding character and a tough competitor. Win or lose, he always showed up in the biggest games.
He likely already knows which teams are his most likely landing spots. For a quarterback, being drafted later and going to a better team as a result can be a big career plus, especially for a pure pro style passer who doesn’t want to be running for his life behind a lousy offensive line.
Wish him all the best.
I wish him luck. I’ve always been impressed not just by his talent but also by his moxie. Though I wonder if this past season hurt his draft stock, he could certainly help himself by dazzling them in the combine and pro days. Seems like a good, level-headed kid.
Oh, and he also has an all-world Twitter handle!
I hope Fromm has a long and successful NFL career. He will always be a DGD and is one of my favorite players from the Smart era. I enjoyed watching him play for 3 seasons and love the kind of player and leader he was.
I can’t tell you how happy I am for the kid. Hope things go better for him than they did for Murray.
That being said…the offense is going to be dreadful next year. New quarterback, one proven WR, lack of experience in backfield…and, oh yeah, the offensive line is taking a huge hit with Thomas, Kindley and Mays leaving. Need to get a grad transfer qb to have some game experience would go a long way.
Maybe but maybe new blood is needed to give the offense a boost. The players on the roster are still very talented. I’m a glass half full kind of guy.
I do think the Bama game is going to be a struggle especially being at the beginning of the season.
May be you’re right. Getting a grad transfer qb would be a tourniquet of sorts. Maybe Pickens will grow up in the off-season and become a mentor to the new crop of receivers. The O-line is going to be the struggle. However, new guys fighting for a spot will have a lot of motivation. Which could translate into something special.
It might turn into this year’s version of Bama’s defense–it’ll be ungodly, but in the end the growing pain will help us out for 2021.
I hope you’re right. Part of me is worried some of Alabama’s inexperienced freshmen will just be mediocre sophomores next year.
The offense was dreadful this year…with all those guys..
Well since the entire offense is gone…can Kirby please move on from Coley now…I would love to see D’eriq king or the kid from ND…I know Kirby will never change the offense though…thank goodness all those defensive guys are coming back… gonna have to win alot of games with the D…ohh wait…isn’t that what happened this year…
Hello Newman
I was like a lot of people, surprised.
I thought he would probably come back and use the opportunity to improve his draft stock and possibly make a run at the Natty, or at least an SEC Championship. Even so, I can’t blame anyone for chasing their dream of playing in the NFL. I hope he succeeds beyond his wildest dreams at the next level.
Lots of NFL teams are looking for someone with his talent, humility, leadership, and work ethic. Plus, he is a young man with integrity and a good head on his shoulders.
There wasn’t a single off the field incident while he was in Athens. (At least not that I know of.)
Big loss for the Dawgs, but it’s hard to blame Fromm for leaving.
As a Vandy fan, I’m kinda disappointed. UGA was so predictable with JF.
We’ll see him on TV soon.
And yet Vandy couldn’t win.
Oh it was never about winning. If Fields were at UGA, I think Vandy would’ve just shut down the program.
Fromm gave us the sense that there was a fighting chance.
Since when did Vandy have to worry about an opponent?
Honestly our mascot had more fight than us this year. #HiretheCommodore
Will someone please enlighten me to what DGD stands for?
I thought I knew almost every chant, motto and expression in college football…
Apparently not
Darn (spelled differently) Good Dawg.
Oooohhh….(forehead slap) Thanks for the info.
I believe the Patriots are a good fit for Fromm. I wouldnt be surprised if they took him in 2nd round if he is still there.
My my…my fellow Dawg fans are sensitive today.
Imagine being a Falcons fan and thinking you can tell anybody jackcrap about whining.
Oops….hurt some feelings…..
fromm will one day make a great coach in college but maybe the best is to start all over with new QB and new plan since fromm would get us 10-11 wins and another missed NC chance
something is very wrong when this mays kid wants to transfer so i hope cleveland gets his act correct to come back
maybe this beck kid is the cats pajamas and can be dual threat if not we better find one quick
Time to move on from Fromm. Great run. Maybe he’ll find an NFL team that needs a slow, relatively small, mediocre arm leader who has good character. Basically, Tim Tebow without the size, running ability, Natty, or Heisman. No idea why UGA recruited dual threat QBs with the offense they run. They really screwed the pooch with Fields.
Gonna be loads of changes on the offense. Look forward to seeing how it plays out.
If he stayued with that lousy o coach one more year he would become undrafted Good move.
Well at least we’re not stuck with a trillion dollar buyout on him. Lol. Kirby can let Coley go if the offense has another year like this past year. You guys are stuck with the Gus like it or not.
Ok I’m a little confused by UGA fan logic. I get UGA will probably have the best defense in the country but I don’t see their offense winning them many games and definitely not improving next year. How does an offense that is replacing they’re entire oline, three year starting QB, elite running back, with only one legit receiving threat. Unless you’re changing your offensive scheme Or hiring a better OC which I’ve seen no Indications. With all that info htf do some of you UGA fans will stay status quo or improve on offense?
Their*
Because our offense sucked this year. Nowhere to go but up.
Literally that’s the worst offense we’ve had in 20 years. It will get better. It must get better. Or a lot of assistant coaches will be looking for jobs.
It was bad, but was it Schottenheimer bad?
Given the talent at o-line and RB…yes, it was.
Trust me it can get worse. Speaking from experience with two coaches that had terrible offenses with good qbs
I mean have you seen Carson becks senior stats. They are terrible. He’s definitely not the answer at QB at least not as a true freshman. If you guys get a good transfer QB I can see that optimism but as it stands I don’t see what you guys see now
To be fair he was one of two returning starters from the previous year’s team. Not one of his WRs had a single Power 5 offer. No, he’s not a plug and play, Bryce Young or Trevor Lawrence guy, but he could still be the future.
We just need some sort of a stopgap until 2021 when we could hopefully bring in a Caleb Williams or Brock Vandagriff.
I just don’t think that will be true freshman Carson beck. If you get a good transfer I could see that helping UGAs offense
I don’t see where you are getting much optimism from UGA fans. Most are acting like their dog died. We will be what we generally are. Average to good.
Watch the Bucs pick him and then I’ll be forced to root for a Dawg after 5 years of rooting for a Nole. For fvck’s sake.
Lol
Another kid pops cut tip off his finger to free his boy of cancerous offense
Jake should easily be the best clipboard holder in the NFL.
Backup QB is easily the best job anyone could have in the world. You know what I would give to have had Chase Daniel’s ratio of work input to Salary output?
I could see him having a long and successful career as a backup. Which if so,he’s still gonna make great money.
In 2001, I said, “Good grief! We’re gonna see him (David Greene) for the next 4 years.” In 2004, I was so glad he was gone.
I feel exactly the same about Fromm.
Respect and best of luck to him.
Jake will do good in the NFL. He was polarizing at UGA .(not by his own fault). Heck some have already picked his replacement? I wish him well.
