Jacob Park entering junior college to play football, makes a lot of sense to me. Have watched a lot of young men take this same route for a long time. Keeps himself tuned up with live action, wheels don't squeak when he returns to D1 football.
Some seem to think that Park was not forced out. I can agree with that, but there are other ways than force.
Would not be surprised to see Jacob Park return to play football for South Carolina. Spurrier would love to have an ex-Dawg to coach and face off with UGA. Not out of the realm of possibility.
Keeping a close eye on Faton Bauta. He is not a quitter, but he also is one than can see the handwriting on the wall.
Some of the coaching in Athens reminds me of Disney World. There is a lot of fantasy involved in the production of the finished product.
One thing for sure . . . . if Ramsey, maybe I should say when Ramsey lines up as our starter, there is going to be a lot of pressure on this young man. Many thousands of eyes will be on him from the get go. All of the chatter in the blogs and questions by the media will be hard to overcome when he makes his first mistake. The call will go out for that new strong armed freshman quarterback to replace him. Anyone reading this knows that is the truth.
For certain, opposing teams are going to make us throw the football. Here is hoping that we can. Hard for me to believe that we will see less than 7/8 in the box. That brings into question reading defenses. New center this season, adds to whether or not we "see and call" necessary adjustments. Unless I am totally wrong, the one thing that I read about Ramsey is whether or not reading defenses is his strong suit. Speaking for myself, AM leaving two summers to attend quarterbacking camps elsewhere prepared him for "reading defenses". Here we are questioning whether or not that is a part of our quarterbacks game along with a new center.
Feel it only fair to ask or present views outside of the "stuff" that is presented in Butts-Mehre for us to read second hand.
Nothing wrong with being positive about our football team. Also, nothing wrong with building our opinions that are not jaded by the media and coach speak. They might be surprised just how much knowledge surrounds Georgia Football by those that have played in the "Arena".
Right now, I am in thriller's camp on the quarterbacking "stuff". While thriller and I might disagree with the coaching at UGA, we are on the same page when it comes to the quarterback position. I do not think that thriller is saying Ramsey should not be the starter, believe thriller is wanting to be convinced that a good decision is being made for a position that calls for "knowledge and leadership". AM had both, and AM said that Faton Bauta was cut from the same cloth.
End this post with this . . . . Faton Bauta has outplayed Brice Ramsey in two (2) G Day Games. I understand that it is as close to "touch football" as a football game can be, but . . . . Both Ramsey and Bauta played the G Day Games under the same rules. My score . . . . Faton Bauta 2. Brice Ramsey 0. Both played with first and second string offenses.
Just my thoughts on a situation that continues from coaches that played the quarterback position in high school and college. Looking for improvement, have serious thoughts that is not the case under this head coach.
