I just don't understand a move like this.

It's easy . . . since Joe T came back from the ankle sprain, they're 0-2. It hasn't really been Tereshinski's fault per seay, but Stafford has shown himself to be about the same as Tereshinski and he clearly has the advantage physically.

I think this move is two weeks too late. Play your best players regardless of seniority. I call that the "Mark Levine Principle."

I think Richt got spooked a little by the near misses against Colorado and Ole Miss. I hate criticizing playcalling, but in my opinion Richt is really overprotecting his QBs. Stafford can make the throws. It's just a matter of UGA having to endure his growing pains.

I don't think he realizes that the rest of his team isn't good enough to carry a QB. They have to have some production from that position. As an OU fan, I've been saying all year that if UGA wasn't going to use him, I'd love to have Stafford starting in Norman.

You have hit the nail squarely on the head. If Richt wants to protect his QB, he should get an extra tight end or a fullback onto the field and run the ball. It's like they line up in the shotgun with 3 receivers and play "pretend" wide open football.

IMO it's a prime example of what happens when a head coach calls the plays and gets overprotective.

I'll tell you what they look like: the 2000 Tennessee team when we kept lining up in that shotgun formation with AJ Suggs. Everyone knew we weren't going to throw down the field, yet we refused to run a standard formation that played to our strength.

Precisely . . . again, what do I know? I'm an insurance guy. But it seems really crystal clear to me.

Joe T didn't look bad in either of the games they played. I agree with Hat. I'll take it a step further... Stafford should have been the guy coming out of fall practice, and that should have been the end of it. The Joes shouldn't have been playing at all.

I never bought into the notion that not settling on a single QB was what killed the Vols last year... until I saw this debacle. Now I'm convinced of the importance of that very simple decision.

IF he sticks with this kid, I think that gives them the best chance to beat Florida.

Let him play the whole way against St, and then go out there and have fun against the Gators.

GREAT News if you ask me.

I wouldn't go quite that far. Stafford is good, but it's not like he's really done anything to separate from Tereshinski or Cox other than have potential.

Agree with you on this one. :good!: Doesn't mean he'll do it but has a chance.

Look for Cox to be the next great one at GA Southern if Stafford is handed the reigns.

I am impressed Hat. Niether will he be a Raymond Gross for that matter. One of my claims to fame was getting my butt chewed as a freshman for hitting Raymond Gross in a scrimmage. He went on to lead Ga Southern to 2 NCs as well.

all good points...and i agree with Hat and GaVol...they aren't playing to their strength...they've been experimenting all season to see if someone would step up and take it (sound familiar?)....it coule reasonably be compared to TN in 2000 as Hat pointed out and it is also comparable to the rationale TN had about it's qb situation last season...and the fact that CMR hasn't gone to some more run oriented sets as you guys discussed, could also be compared to the "we do what we do" mentality TN had the previous 3-4 seasons.

it just goes to show that even as good as we all think CMR is, it doesn't take alot to make a good coach look bad. they all have ups and downs and they all have a system or scheme they want their teams to be identified with. Last year we weren't capable of doing that ourselves, and this year, UGA isn't either.

Give the boy this week to get going, I think he'll beat Florida....I shouldn't say he will, he'd have the BEST chance to beat them...Joe T couldn't beat Florida if Florida's bus drove into a swamp on the way to the game and they had to play their 4th string
