Merk enrolls early, does the off-season work, learns the offense and displays a better grasp of it and makes better throws in practice opposite of a talented player who spent a calendar year practicing and learning instead of playing in high school? Yeah...then there's competition. Otherwise, it's REALITY.

Heupel forced Joe Milton on us two years in a row. There’s no telling what he’ll do, but it probably won’t make any sense.

UGA y seems to ask their QB to run the offense, which includes handing the ball off. He's asked to make some intermediate throws to pick up chunk yards to some elite players. There is nothing exceptional about them, except their game management.

Hueps offense seems to ask the QB to do more from an athleticism standpoint. Not as much as Botch, but, has to be able to run.

Just an observation.

Heup’s offense (when fully implemented) also asks the QB to do more from a calls perspective.

A Heup offense with a QB that can’t make the quick reads and calls is an offense that is less dynamic, and more dependent on “check with me” from the sideline.

Hoping both Nico & Merk have the 5th gen processors required to run the system wide open.

For sure. But Hendon Hooker and this offense would have been dynamic with Bru, Keyton, & Squirrel too.

Excited to see what Heup can do with Nico & Merk and this new group of WRs.

Heupel forced you to watch?? This cracks me up the entitlement some in this fan base have. For the last time CJH doesn’t give a d@mn what you or the others that have chronically whined to see Nico thinks. He put what he thought gave up the best chance to win on the field PERIOD.

And 8-4 proves he, for the most part, got it right. The only game a mobile QB would have given us a better shot is UF, the other 3 were not on Milton.

Well the fan base generates the revenue that keeps the said program going. That being said. What he thought put a mediocre product on the field. The team didn’t win anything meaningful. Go walk it off tough girl.

Winning 8 games is meaningful. You can say it’s not but you are just wrong. You see you seem to be part of the fan base that is not set in reality and have forgotten all about the past 15+ years. You seem to think one great season and all of a sudden winning 8 or 9 games is bush league.

Also, you do realize footballl is a team sport right?

Just because fans spend money doesn't mean they get a say in who plays and who doesn’t. I hope 8 wins going forward is mediocre after suffering though the last 10 years but I guess for some that is not good enough.

And TV revenue exists because of fan viewership.

While I agree that fans need and hunger for football especially in the south east has a large part in the TV contracts. I do not agree with the poster I quoted. Heupel did it right with Nico. Just another bum taking a shot at the staff and Milton. We were not good enough to win the games we lost. Nico was not ready to play maybe the only game he makes a real difference in.... That was UF

not really. all the radio figures down here were freaking out that they were losing Raiola. Puglisi was a nice bench warmer until the moment Raiola decommitted, and then the narrative flipped hard.

Uninformed radio dudes squawk loudest…it’s their job! They’re like the hardest core Star Police on a message board starting a thread. 😏

I like Jake. I think he is highly underrated. Obviously development is important. However, how many in here were losing their heads when Simpson committed to Bama? He couldn’t win the starting job in a bad
QB year.
The mental jump from highschool to college is huge at the QB position.

Was that the subject matter? Thought it was about radioheads bisching about a 5 star flipping? I don’t have to waste my data plan talking to Bowl Cut when I can simply realize that he’s started his lower rated QBs since his second season. 🤔

so you are getting your opinion of Georgia's QB room from the same quality of sources as these radio talk show hosts.
