'24 Recruiting Forum: Official Georgia Pregame/Game Thread

[TrippieRedd]

Jennings, Palmer, and Calloway were all NFL WRs that JG got to throw to.

Which one of Bru, Brazzell, Thornton, or Squirrel is playing anywhere close to that level?

Nico could definitely play better, but let’s not act like JG throwing 50/50 fly routes to much more talented WRs is really indicative of anything.

Not to mention part of Nico’s TDs being low is that our RB is setting the single season TD record.

Receiving yards through 10 games are the same.

Them being in the NFL has nothing to do with that season.

This one really pissed me off

This one really pissed me off

We knew they were going to mug us. Its well known now we dont beat tough coverage well. Analytics likely say mug em, and prevent big plays, take chance on PI versus 7 pts.

I am not on board the Kelsey pope train. He can go, not one single Power 5 school will be waiting to snatch him up. Same thing with Coach Elarbe. He should have been gone.

Not one

 

[MemphisVol3]

Fixed it for you.

Another game, another under 200 yard performance and 0 TDs.

It’s okay to be harsh on our 8mil QB

Athletic WRs like Matthews and Staley could probably beat the UGA DB mugging. Pope is a good recruiter but not a good coach.

Hazelnut needs to go
Pope needs to go
Glen needs to go

Everyone else can stay for another two seasons.

Still not sold on Martinez either, + the secondary scheme yesterday was bad too

 

[WebbCobb]

You’re prob right. DLine didn’t have any impact on the game after the 1st quarter and they were supposed to be dominant

The D-line getting was by far the biggest issue yesterday, coupled with their d-line establishing the pass rush UT couldn’t

 

[cHiZzLeVOL]

I want blaming him I was saying out wrs we start are slow

Those are one and the same my friend. The coach recruits and says which ones play. Hence it’s a WR coach issue.

Uhh no. His TDs are low because he can’t ever hit wide open targets down field in stride

58% completion against the tougher opponents on our schedule is all that needs to be said.

I’m not blind like some fans. QB definitely warrants a ton of criticism. Most fans don’t want to because then they have to swallow the “we paid 8mil for this QB” pill

JG got **** shoved down his throat for the same issues but Nico gets all the excuses, got it

I don’t understand how people can watch Nico literally overthrow every deep receiver and be like yup he is just young and inexperienced…..

Like no…. He just can’t make those throws he literally launches them. Has all the arm talent in the world and overthrows our fastest receivers. It’s ridiculous.

A lot of that is coaching as well. The OC works with him all the time obviously, Golesh was with Hooker. We gotta get better in that area

Banks coaches the safeties. Martinez coaches the corners and star. Safeties weren’t where they needed to be most of the game. I didn’t have an issue with the corners for the most part. Boo had some busted coverage a couple times.

 

[jave36]

Receiving yards through 10 games are the same.

Them being in the NFL has nothing to do with that season.

Yes it does. It means jg was throwing to all star players who made it easier for him. Nico is throwing to not all star players, so it's harder for him.

Yep on the deep routes, the receivers were beating their DB’s most of the game. If he had Hooker’s accuracy, the game isn’t close. He hit them earlier in the season, so I’m not sure what has happened these last several weeks.

That legitimately has nothing to do with how they played that year, but okay more excuses for Nico. Lol

Only thing that literally matters is the stats. They have the same stats through 10 games.

This. JG got hundreds and hundreds of yards throwing the ball as high as he could, sometimes not even close to anybody, and getting lucky that his elite WR would go find it and dominate the DB trying to stop him. That's what having elite wr does for a qb.

Nico would have 25 INT if he took the jg approach, our WR aren't good enough for that.

Though I will say Nico overthrowing wide open wr streaking to the end zone over and over and over is getting hard to watch.

Same receiving stats through 10 games.

Quit making excuses for Nico.

 

[MemphisVol3]

Crazy that Milton was more accurate on the deep balls than Nico. Nico is pretty good on the underneath and intermediate throws but has to get better on the deep shots.

It "legitimately" does have everything to do with it. Players need to be good in college to make it to the NFL. Stats are not the only thing that matters.

If you put jg out there with a Rice, Megatron, and Moss, of course he's going to have better stats than any QB in history. Does that mean he's better than any QB in history? And if you put me and you out there for Nico, he's going to have a zero completion rate. Does that mean he sucks?

What kind of statement is that? Stats are the only thing that matters? That's not even close to true.

 

[jave36]

Nico is a far far better qb than jg. If you can't see beyond stats, then I can't help you.

That doesn't mean Nico is perfect. His deep balls in particular are atrocious.

Against the top 5 toughest teams on each schedule
Nico: 58% passing
Milton: 59% passing

About the same overall

True but I’m moreso speaking on the deep throws. Milton’s specialty was play action deep throws. He just couldn’t hit the intermediate ones.

Ah, I’d be curious to see that statistic

 

[MemphisVol3]

Used AI to look it up and said he completed about 30% of them last year. Pretty sure Nico’s is lower because he may only hit 1 per game in conference play.
