What's Georgia getting in JT Daniels? The QB's talent is evident based on his USC highlight reel
For all the excitement you may have read or heard about Jamie Newman, Georgia just landed a transfer from a quarterback prospect that was viewed by many as the No. 1 prospect, not the No. 1 quarterback — the No. 1 overall recruit — in the nation for the 2019 recruiting cycle.
While he only has one season of film to go off, it’s safe to say Daniels lived up to that hype during his true freshman season with Trojans.
His stats from his first collegiate season won’t blow you away, he threw for 2,672 yards with 14 touchdowns and 10 interceptions back in 2018, but you have to consider the fact he was scheduled to be a senior in high school that year.
Like former USC quarterback John David Booty that came well before him, Daniels skipped his senior season of high school in order to reclassify into the 2018 recruiting cycle in order to play for the Trojans. After Sam Darnold left USC early for the NFL, Daniels won the starting quarterback job after arriving in the summer of his freshman season — he did not participate in spring practice.
His debut season may have been inconsistent but by the end of the season, Daniels completed 72.5 percent of his passes (37 of 51) for 349 yards with one touchdown against an undefeated Notre Dame team in the 2018 season finale.
One look at his highlights and you’ll see the talent Daniels brings to the offense in Athens.
Daniels will need a waiver to play immediately at Georgia but if he gets it, there’s a chance he beats out Jamie Newman for the starting role in Athens. After all, it wouldn’t be the first time Daniels has won a QB competition without having a spring camp to gain an advantage.
Another example of Kirby’s recruiting domination – any State, any player, any position is a legit target for UGA.
Setting the tone, controlling the narrative. In recruiting perception is reality.

But hey, mullet and UF got a 3-star QB’s commitment the other day
I hate the gators just as much as the next dawg fan, but you need to calm down. How about we let the on field play do the talking, not the recruiting.
dude, it’s a 2nd-rate sport’s blog, calm down
2017: 42-7, 2018: 36-17, 2019: 24-17. The play on the field is currently doing the talking.
then let it continue to do the talking?
I hate the gators too, which is why I don’t keep them on my mind
Don’t we all come here for the sole purpose of “talking”?
@UGAFLYfisherman………..AMEN REV PREACH IT!!!! LOL
King Negan
BuT hE didn’t PlAy In ThE sEc
@UGADAWG78………..Not sure what context you meant this. But ill assume for now. JT Daniels played high school ball in THE VERY TOP CLASSIFICATION ON THE #1 TEAM. THAT WAS #1 PARTLY BASED ON HIM!!!!!
Also, he played ALL THE TOP COMPETITION. His class was like playing college football. Maybe not SEC but still. It was as good and better than most high school competition you’ll ever find!!! HE RECLASSIFIED. THATS HOW SMART AND GOOD HE WAS!!!! When others were still playing their senior season of high school football. HE WAS STARTING FOR USC!!!
PAC 12 is NOT SEC and we all know that. But still, it is major college football!!! And remember, he played on a TERRIBLE USC TEAM!!! With a TERRIBLE O LINE!!!! So he was ALWAYS trying to do too much. To make up for their lack of talent!!! I think you would agree that. Jake Fromm was a great QB for UGA when he was in sync with his WRS!!! You can’t get much better than taking UGA to the national championship game in 2017. And playing well enough to win. And in fact should have won and would have. If not for terrible calls!!!!
I also think you would agree that Trevor Lawrence is a 1st round pick. Maybe the most talented QB this season in the country. Same with Justin Fields!!!! WELL JT DANIELS DID PRETTY MUCH THE SAME AS TREVOR LAWRENCE IN HIGH SCHOOL. TREVOR LAWRENCE ALSO PLAYED 4 SEASONS OF HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL!!!! Yet the numbers for both are very close!!!!
But JT Daniels did in 3 seasons. What it took Trevor Lawrence 4 to accomplish!!! And against better competition. Who gave them their best every single week because they were the top team!!! Justin Fields only started 2 seasons. Which meant someone started ahead of him the first 2 years!!! BUT STILL THE NUMBERS AREN’T EVEN CLOSE!!!! Same thing with TUA!!! JT DANIELS OBLITERATED TUA’S NUMBERS!!!! By about 100 TD PASSES!!!!
BRYCE YOUNG THE #1 2020 QB IN THE COUNTRY. NOW AT ALABAMA. HE IN 4 SEASONS THREW 152 TD PASSES!!! AND HE WAS A SENIOR AT THE SAME SCHOOL AS JT DANIELS!!! But again. BRYCE YOUNG PUT UP THAT 152 TD PASSES IN 4 YEARS. AS WELL AS PLAYING FAR INFERIOR COMPETITION THE FIRST 3 SEASONS!!! I MEAN WAY OFF!!!! Then in order to make a big name for himself. He transferred to JT DANIELS high school his senior season. After JT DANIELS WAS GONE!!!! In order to make a name for himself!!!
As a senior dual threat mostly at that time. He threw lots of dinks and dunks that went for TD PASSES BECAUSE THE WR RAN 40 YARDS ETC… There were also lots of short 5 to 15 yard TD PASSES. He would get them down field throwing short passes or running. Then throw short TD PASSES when the defense expected him to run!!! And once again. He was only with that top program 1 season!!!!!
BUT JT DANIELS STARTED AS A FRESHMAN ON THE TOP TEAM IN THE COUNTRY. GO WATCH HIS FRESHMAN HIGHLIGHTS!!!! ” A FRESHMAN ” STARTING ON THE #1 HIGH SCHOOL TEAM IN THE COUNTRY. THEIR BACKUP QBS CAN BE STARS IN COLLEGE FOOTBALL!!!! BUT THIS 8TH GRADER IS NOT ONLY STARTING. HE WAS STARRING!!!!!
Lastly, even if BRYCE YOUNG would have put up 152 TD PASSES. And even if he had started at that top team as an 8th grader. That still means NOTHING!!!! Because as is, JT DANIELS STILL PUT UP THE SAME 152 TD PASSES. AND HE DID IT IN 3 SEASONS NOT 4!!!!!
To put it in perspective. If JT DANIELS had played his senior season. Instead of going straight to the big leagues. Based on his other numbers and maturing. He would have put up between 50 to 70, maybe more TD PASSES. Than Trevor Lawrence, Bryce Young or anyone else!!!! And in 3 years he already put up 100 TD PASSES BETTER THAN TUA OR JUSTIN FIELDS. AND PRETTY MUCH ANYONE ELSE!!!
AND HE DID IT ALL. PLAYING THE TOP DEFENSIVE TEAMS AND TOP TALENT IN THE COUNTRY!!!!
A LITTLE MORE PERSPECTIVE…..
My point is. What more does he need to do. In order to say. Yes he is one of the best maybe ever??? If he outshines ALL THOSE ELITE PLAYERS. PLAYING BETTER TALENT THAN THEY DID IN HIGH SCHOOL. THEN SHINED AS A TRUE FRESHMEN WHO SHOULD HAVE BEEN A SENIOR IN HIGH SCHOOL ON A REALLY BAD MAJOR COLLEGE PROGRAM. THEN HOW GOOD CAN HE BE WITH UGA AND THE TOP WRS WE NOW HAVE. RUNNING BACKS AND O LINE WE HAVE???? NOT TO MENTION A 6 FOOT 8 TE. WHO RUNS LIKE A WR. WHO CAN CATCH EVERYTHING AND JUMP OUT OF THE STADIUM. WHO HAS DRAWN COMPARISONS TO FORMER GA TECH WR AND DETROIT LIONS PRO BOWL LEGEND CALVIN JOHNSON?????
Yes, if he stays healthy. And is used right. THEN DON’T TELL ME. THAT ITS IMPOSSIBLE TO HAVE ANOTHER SEASON LIKE JOE BURROW HAD!!!! In fact Joe Burrow was just lucky that everything came together. But I think JT DANIELS IS GOOD ENOUGH. TO DO IT NATURALLY AND REGULARLY!!!!
JT DANIELS IS MORE TALENTED THAN JOE BURROW PERIOD!!!! AND IF HE HASN’T LOST MUCH FROM THE KNEE INJURY. HE CAN RUN TO!!!! STILL EITHER WAY. LIKE BURROW, HE CAN SCRAMBLE. EYES ALWAYS UP FIELD!!!
In high school. JT DANIELS was better as a FRESHMAN. Than Bryce Young was as a senior!!!! He was as good as a FRESHMAN. Than Trevor Lawrence was as a senior!!! And probably better than Burrow as a senior!!! PLAYING THE TOP TALENT IN HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL!!!! SO DON’T EVER QUESTION HIS TALENT.
If JT Daniels gets a waiver like he should, since he already sat out a season. Then IF Jaime Newman LEGITIMATELY beats him out. Then watch out!!! THAT WILL MEAN JAIME NEWMAN IS THE TOP QB IN COLLEGE FOOTBALL!!!! Remember I said LEGITIMATELY!!!! Not just because he is a grad transfer!!! But hey, I like Newman to!!! I also like Carson Beck and D’wan Mathis a lot!!!! All are potentially stars!!!!
PS. If JT Daniels gets the waiver and he should. UGA WILL HAVE HANDS DOWN. THE TOP QB ROOM IN THE COUNTRY. AND MAYBE THE BEST EVER QB ROOM!!!! Including when Tua and Hurts were both on Alabama’s roster. Better than Kelly Bryant and Trevor Lawrence. Better than Fromm and Fields. Better than any I remember!!!! Just my opinion of course!!!! But don’t dare ever doubt JT DANIELS TALENT!!!! Then when Brock Vandagriff comes it should be illegal. LOL
King Negan
If healthy and eligible, I expect Daniels to be the starter by midseason at the latest. Newman cannot be happy about this. I think Daniels has more upside. This will be interesting to follow.
I personally think it’s going to be Newman but either way I think we’ll be fine.
I kinda doubt Kirby would make this move if he thought he would get a waiver
Because Kirby wants completely inexperienced guys as the backup for the most important position on the field?
I don’t think JT is coming to be a backup when he would start at 99% of programs
So you think he is going to UGA with the intention of sitting for another season? He only played in one game last season. I fully expect him to apply for the waiver.
It might not be up to him whether he sits in 2020. That’ll be up to the NCAA. That’s why it’s my assumption that Kirby and JT made this move with the idea that he wouldn’t play in 2020. Otherwise it makes no sense.
He has to apply for a waiver and then the NCAA will decide. I guess you are good putting all of your eggs in the Newman basket, but I think Kirby is looking for a bit more competition than that. A more than capable backup is also better than the complete unknowns y’all has backing up Newman. I don’t understand what is so confusing about that.
You’re only seeing it from UGAs perspective. That makes perfect sense for UGA. But it makes no sense for JT to come to a place where there’s a real chance he’s gonna ride the bench. There are dozens of school he could go start at. Maybe even LSU, Florida, or Tennessee. For Daniels this move only makes sense if he has a good feeling that waiver isn’t coming and he’s gonna be the guy in 2021. If it was only up to UGA, they’d bring in every QB they could touch and have 15 high quality backups. But it’s gotta work for the school and the player.
Remind us ‘turds, how many 5-star QBs have Sideshow Dan MuLLLen the Clown signed?
I call your copy and paste.
How many has Kirby signed that actually did anything? Even with JT he is technically a 4 star transfer per 247.
Eason was a 5-star QB in all systems. Fromm was a 5-star QB in one of the three systems.
So now with JT Daniels, that 2.334 5-star QBs.
Which is 2.334 more 5-star QBs than Sideshow Dan the Clown has signed.
Take your “gotcha” and shove it where the sun don’t shine, Barner.
But Kirby never did anything with them….he also royalty screwed up with Fields who you forgot to mention.
He did so well with Fromm but he isn’t a 5 star per the 247 composite.
Never did anything with them?
He won three straight divisions, an SEC Championship, a Rose Bowl Playoff Game, and a Sugar Bowl.
Are you supposed to play more than one QB in a game at the same time, moron?
You recruit as many great players as you can so the cream rises to the top through competition.
But sure Barner, y’all keep playing 3-star QBs thinking y’all are gonna win anything.
I think you have a comprehension problem.
Kirby’s played two QBs during his tenure–Eason and Fromm. Both have been drafted. Not sure where you’re going with this.
Kirby, I’m referring to his original post. What has KS done with his 5 star QB’s? Nothing. Fromm was a 4 star and he did wonderfully! So why does it matter if Mullen signs 5 stars or not?
It’s true Kirby has done nothing with his 5* QBs, nothing. Fromm wasn’t a consensus 5*, Eason transferred, Fields transferred, and now with the commitment of J.T. you’ll probably see more transfers down the road.
Even if JT is cleared to play this year I think Newman still starts.
PFF rated Newman as the #12 QB last year and rated JT # 108.
Correction: JT’s ranking was from 2018.
Smart will ruin him anyway…qb is the weakest position at Georgia.
The butthurt is real from Jortsville.
Too bad your coach can’t recruit or coach as well as Kirby.
Unlike Miss st where every position is the weakest position.
I know…Leach gotta up the pay scale.
So now Jamie Newman is not coming in as the “Anointed One” ? Quarterback competition is good for any team…makes everyone better. Depends on who learns the playbook first, he’ll get the edge. It’s going to be a very interesting year for Monken/Kirby and the Two Quartebacks…The Plot Thickens…for the Dawgs in 2020.
Who said Newman was the anointed one?
He was the projected starter. So?
Some have him going first round in draft so I’d say there was at least talk of it…
Sure, from sports writers and talking heads. Not many regular fans as most have taken a wait and see approach.
Besides, there are literally hundreds of 1st round possibilities. Are they all referred to derisively as the ‘anointed one”?
When you sign a transfer who has Only One(1) Year of Eligibility Left…Who do You think’s Gonna Start ? It’s a no-brainer.
Daniels needs a waiver first.
Tennessee would have been the right place for Daniels. Kinda dumb decision on his part if it doesn’t pay off.
Not if he actually wants to win anything in college. See Barner, some players actually want to win important games in college, not win 7-8 games a year and hoping to play in Tampa in January.
Man, 3 good seasons and the Corch’s head gets inflated like his blow up doll.
“SoMe PlAyErS aCtUaLlY wAnT tO wIn ImPoRtAnT GaMeS” 1980
“MuLlEt Is A sUpErIoR cOaCh EvEn If HeS nEvEr BeAtEn KiRbY” 0-3
How did I know you would be the first to reply
Also I’m not sure who you’re quoting there, is Mullen in your head bud?
102-41
Yeah, a coach that has been completely dominated by UGA is totally in my head
That’s what I was saying…
Yeah he can go to corch’s leg-humping Dawgs and win the sec east followed by a major letdown. Congratulations! Not sure he wanted to go with Bailey as a freshman and also Maurer as a sophomore. Although I’d say he would have a good shot in the competition.
I don’t get this. I mean good, competition is good, but the QB room looks pretty good at UGA next year. I cant see him starting this year and he will be competing with another 5 star next year.
Again, I’m good with it, but it seems like their were better fits for him.
My thoughts exactly. I feel bad for Mathis and Beck but if Kirby manages this right, it actually sets up for a good payoff. They just need to make sure they get someone good Behind Brock
You can’t have too many good Qbs with the way they transfer. If there is odd man out it is probably Beck. Mathis is good athlete and could play WR if he wanted to. After med staff saved his life I think the loyalty is there. Stetson is probably gone too. He can’t realistically hope to see the field even in mop up. By all accounts Brock V is real deal. I hope he sticks with his commitment.
I’ll be honest–I don’t really see the point of this other than keeping UT from getting him. His freshman stats are abysmal, he’s coming off losing his job after an injury, and we already had a pretty satisfactory QB setup with transitioning from Newman to Mathis/Beck/Vandagriff.
2020 Newman (if we even play)
2021 Daniels
2022/23 Brock
Ok, that is our best case, rainbows and sunshine scenario.
I think it makes more sense for UGA than Daniels. They have a room full of experience now, providing almost no downtime in the QB role. Even when their inexperience catches up, that player in theory would have had 1/2 years of understudy before playing.
For Daniels, ya, I’m not sure. If he’s sure he’s not getting a waiver, he’d want to go into a team where a year 2 start is more than likely. UGA makes that kind of hard.
If he feels the waiver isn’t happening, he knows he is a one year guy.
JTF, that’s kind of my point for Daniels, though. He’s got, realistically, one year to get as much playing time, and he chose a team that has a fair amount of talent at the position. His best bet would have been to go for a team with good talent but lackluster QB, which isn’t UGA. It’s puzzling for him, but great for UGA.
I am not sure we agree or disagree, but my take would be Daniels is fine with only playing one year in College. If the waiver were granted and he could play two, fine, but I think he just wants to get to the NFL as fast as possible.
Very solid take
It’s not that big a mystery. Kirby saw every game Georgia played last year, from the 50-yard line. He wants an offense, which means he wants a QB. He was clutching at straws with Newman. He is clutching at straws with Daniels. Let them all compete, and may the best QB give their offense a better chance than last year’s offense.
What does “clutching at straws” mean?
“trying unusual or extreme ideas or methods because other ideas or methods have failed”
Like bringing in Joe B.?
Yes, like bringing in Matt Canada, which didn’t work, then bringing in Joe Burrow, then bringing in Joe Brady. It’s the dartboard theory of success. Throw enough darts and eventually you’ll hit bullseye.
Not sure grabbing talented players is clutching at straws, but I think you have the right of it. At QB, you’re either recruiting your guys and developing them medium/long term, or grabbing high talent where you can and letting the room settle where it will. I don’t think there’s a wrong way to go, just different approaches. If you’re UGA, you’re the team at the front of the conference that’s looking to break through the final barrier and win it all. They don’t want a repeat of 2019, or a step back, so you turn to talented transfers. No reason to waste a high caliber defense on a Learning year if you don’t have to.
In a perfect world Fields is this year’s QB and then Beck, Brock, or maybe Mathis. It lined up pretty well. But, poop happens.
It’s hard to keep a lot of talent at the QB role just sitting there. Not too many 5-stars want to play one year and hope to jump to the NFL, and not many want to stay their full 4 nowadays. If you recruit 2x 4/5star QBs, one is going to probably leave. Just gotta be sure you let the right one walk.
The wrong one was at UGA last year!
“The wrong one was at UGA last year!”
Wonder if Ohio State fans feel the same seeing Joe Burrow hoist the trophy. Yeah, you got Fields, but you let that Joe Burrow guy go as part of it. Good Job.
I agree
Georgia is getting a good one and USC will miss JT. Just a note on JT Daniels 2018 stats to remember is that USC ran a misguided ‘gumbo’ offensive scheme that failed miserably resulting in an 5-7 record and mass fan exodus. JT has all the talent and skills to succeed and I look forward to him representing CA as a gentleman and bringing excitement between the hedges in Sanford Stadium. Go Dawgs! Fight on
Not sure what kind of competition he was up against, but you can’t be unimpressed that he came in as a should-be HS senior without any spring practice and took the starting job from more experienced players.
Also heard that his OL and running game on that USC team was pretty abysmal, aside from the fact that the OC was supposedly not very good. He may not do much, but any UGA fan should be excited about this pick up. And as we’ve seen in the comments, the rival fan bases are not liking it.
seems reasonable to keep stacking talent.
Bad move!
Should’ve come to Tennessee, where he’d not only start, but truly have an impact.
I’m not sure he even gets the nod to start at UGA.
Not sure he’d start at UT either. Would definitely be in the competition but I don’t think it’s a sure thing.
If the 2020 season doesn’t happen, it’ll make for a crazy 2021 QB competition at UGA. I wonder how it would work — whether a player who would have had to sit a year would be allowed to play after “sitting out” a non-season. If not, it’d be a hell of a long wait.
Smart can’t develop qbs.
Considering he’s a defensive minded HC, I’d say you’re correct and he shouldn’t really be expected to. And FYI, the guy that was at least partly responsible for developing Fromm and Fields is now the OC at Tennessee.
Quite true concerning the Head Coach of any school developing Quarterbacks…Spurrier did it as The Head Coach. And David Cutcliffe developed two(2) NFL Quarterbacks: Peyton Manning at Tennessee(as OC) & Eli Manning at Mississippi(as Head Coach there). Gotta have that Offensive-Minded HC to do that…or a talented Offensive Coordinator.
I feel like if Georgia wants a solid air attack, Daniels needs to start. What do you guys think?
I think it is a great pickup,,, started at USC when he was in reality a High School senior!! Haven’t seen much,, but did see the Notre Dame game,,, he is legit!!!! Very interesting and absolutely good to have competition!!! Kirby has stockpiled a lot of talent in Athens
I am shocked just like all other Dawg fans. This is a huge get for the future of the QB position in Athens. The offense is about to go to another level and the D is going to be top 5 caliber every season. Getting Daniels gives you proven QB to plug in against Clemson post Lawrence. A guy that has done it before and will be ready for the spotlight. With Pickens, Blaylock, Burton, Smith, Rosemy, and others to throw to. A stacked backfield and loaded O-Line along with Washington and maybe Bowers too. Looking real good for my Dawgs for years to come. Vols fans thought they had him in the bag. Kirby said not so fast. GO DAWGS!!!!!!
Im sure it was because of Maurer and Bailey already in Knoxville. He thought He would never start up there. They are too loaded. Or was it maybe he saw the writing on the wall or painting on the rock. I am just so thankful that Pruitt backed off at the end when he realized that he didn’t need him. Had to save scholly for a snapper. Pure comedy….GO DAWGS!!!!!!!!
I’ve been following JT since he arrived at Mater Dei. Him and his father are very strategic and there’s no doubt Kirby didn’t need to recruit him– They probably had UGA on a list of five schools. He will start if he gets to play. At USC his first year he was coached by the worst ever USC offensive coaches. Plus he should of been in HS. He’s a lot like Stafford. He’s going to Georgia to get the job, play with tougher competition, and as his plan since he was a child– play NFL ball. Lastly, Kirby likely didn’t even consider JT– they contacted him.
Thanks for the insight, RealUSC. Good to get the perspective of fan of his former team. Only part I disagree with is the last statement. If he was in the portal, I feel sure Kirby considered him.
RealUSC…When I read that He and Trevor Lawrence were the Two(2) Five ***** Quarterbacks that year…Hmm…not bad company to be in. He sure can throw the ball..got a good long-ball. It should be a blast to see him square off vs. Trevor in the 2021 Opener…but Clemson stockpiles those tall receivers.
If Trevor plays college football in 2021 that will some scoop you have there.
Lawrence will not be wearing a Clemson uniform in 2021…$$$$$ Is Calling.
This is a great pickup for UGA or any school. I would like to have seen him pick UT. You can’t have too many highly ranked QB’s. Just makes everyone work harder. I thought I heard on the radio he had 3 years left to play. If that’s correct then 1-2 will probably transfer at some point but that’s the way the QB rooms work these days. If he gets a waiver he may very well take the starting job from Newman. Will suck for him but you have to go with the best option.
I think a reporter said he had three years to play two. I could definitely be incorrect on that though.
He has only played one season, so he has three years of eligibility left.
He was hurt in the opener of his sophomore season so he will have 3 years of eligibility left. But he’s a one and done. My guess is he’ll be Newman’s backup (if he’s eligible) in 2020. Start in 2021 and leave for the draft.
Those three years would only count if he gets the waiver, though, yes? If not, he has to burn a year sitting, I think
I think you’re right but I don’t think he’ll use all 3. So whether he sits next year And starts 2021 or plays In 2020 my point is he’ll probably only play one more season. Just my guess anyway.
Was he not getting his job back at USC?
He said the main reason he came to UGA was so he could beat Mizzou a time or two
But was he not getting his job back at USC?
No idea, had a younger (same age, different class) guy come in when he got injured and performed well under a new OC.
If Daniels was to get the waiver, I can see a scenario where Smart would use both Jamie Newman and Daniels playing, just like teams with two star running backs use both. Georgia won an SEC Championship with Ray Goff and Matt Robinson getting equal time at QB, as it forced defensive coaches to prepare two separate gameplans against the Bulldogs.
Newman is the Goff, and Daniels is the Robinson. Today’s defenses are ill equipped to prepare for two separate styles of play, while it wouldn’t be all that difficult for an offense to do so when it does it every week. It would be quite interesting to see a coach be brave enough to try this.
Maybe, in the future, a college team might have two different units on offense–one that runs the air raid and one that runs the inverted run and shoot wishbone or Rich Rod style spread. Mike Leach hinted last year before WSU’s bowl game that he was 100% in awe of Air Force’s option offense.
Jamie Newman played in the Always Cushy Conference, the ACC. When he played Clemson, their Defensive Backs anticipated his throws=picks(watch the game tape). He has to play in the SEC now and prove that he can fit the ball into Much-Tighter-Windows than in the ACC. If he can do it=Great for the Dawg’s Offense. What I’m saying…Dawg Fans…Is He Must Prove Himself here in our Conference, The SEC.
Newman did rank 3rd in QBR while throwing into “tight windows” last year per PFF.
He’s got talent. Everyone points to the ClemPson game but he had no chance in that game. If you put Tom Brady back there it wouldn’t have mattered. The talent/coaching mismatch was insane.
Yes…In The ACC.
By the same token, Mac Jones looked very good…throwing to a couple of dudes that went in the first round.
Talent at WR matters to the QB. UGA has way more than Wake. These things are what make the college game interesting…things change year to year.
I’m cautiously optimistic.
Again. Burrow came from the Big 10 and shattered every SEC record in the books. Believe it or not kids in other conferences can be good.
The Big 10 is better than the ACC. Everyone’s got to prove themselves & Joe burrow surely did that. But you gotta remember he was coached in an Urban Meyer Team prior to LSU. And he was not coached poorly there.
What are we getting? Just go check the stats in high school. You’ll find him. Just BARELY behind Trevor Lawrence!!!!
But remember. HE RECLASSIFIED!!!! He didn’t play his senior season. So if he would have. HE WOULD HAVE EASILY PASSED TREVOR LAWRENCE!!!
THAT IS WHAT UGA IS GETTING!!!!!
King Negan
JT DANIELS freshman season at USC when he was supposed to be a senior in high school. That was actually the worst he had played ever!!! Worse than starting on your the #1 team in the country in 8th grade!!!! Way worse actually. But it makes sense. Considering the lack of talent around him at USC!!!
He had maybe 1 decent wr, who was really good and young!!! But that was it!!! No O LINE. No running backs and certainly NO DEFENSE!!! He just tried to do TO MUCH!!! To make up the lack of talent. Wake forest was probably better truth be told!!!!
It was a really terrible team. Yet I think HE won 8 or 9 games. By HIM alone basically. But yes he looked good. But for his standard it was TERRIBLE!!!! If he is healthy and stays that way. Along with the rest of our players on UGA. Watch what he eventually does!!!!
PS. Joe Burrow had a really HISTORIC SEASON. But as for TALENT. JT DANIELS WAS AS GOOD OR BETTER. AS A FRESHMAN IN HIGH SCHOOL. IN 8TH GRADE!!!!
King Negan
SORRY FOR TYPO. ” YOUR ” was a typo. I meant THE #1 TEAM IN THE COUNTRY.
King Negan
It’s also DEBATABLE exactly how good his WR was. Considering they played together in high school. And JT DANIELS helped him become the top WR that he was supposed to be. But I do think he was pretty good.
PS. But 2 PLAYERS can’t do it themselves!!!!
King Negan
