Fromm going pro is the biggest shock of the season to me. Foregoing his senior season after the junior season he had, sends a big message to me and it's not a good message. The mechanics of the process to make this decision pretty much revolve around the fact that Fromm saw things one of three ways, or a combination of all three:
1) He didn't view saying for his senior season as beneficial enough to dramatically raise his draft position. Fromm is a mid-to-late 2nd round pick. Would he have cracked the 1st round by having another Sophomore-style year? Maybe. But that maybe wasn't enough to justify another year and its entirely possible that he got real tired of hearing the negativity from a significant amount of the fan base.
2) He didn't see any real hope of the offensive scheme changing dramatically enough next year to entice him to stay on.
3) He felt he had accomplished all he needed to accomplish in his 3 seasons at UGA, and regardless of what might have been, given 1 & 2, it just wasn't enough to chase it a 4th time and risk a big injury. Fromm has been blessed with good health up to this point, and he leaves a whole player with no nagging ailments.
I'm sorry but I can't spin this to be anything other than it is - a negative. Losing Fromm is big. Even if we get a graduate transfer, he isn't going to jump right in, learn the playbook, and cruise into an SEC schedule having never played in the league. 2020 is going to be a rocky year at QB
