ala Bosa a few years ago?

Sort of. Don't blame Bosa one bit. If I remember right it was like 10 weeks he was going to be out and a torn pec isnt something to mess with it

Could that "reason" be that those 10-12 are like dropping from 5*/4* talent to 5*/4* talent? Not like much of a drop off like it would be with less talented teams.

No, and that's not my point. McConkey was a 2*. AD Mitchell wasn't a 5* he was a 3* ranked the 60th best WR in his class.

We have struggled to get the top WRs year in and year out. tOSU gets them, OU gets them, Bama does. We don't because we haven't had a 1000 yard receiver since 2006 I think. We don't get top WRs because they want touches and yards. We don't give them touches and yards because we don't highlight 3-4 WRs. We use 10-12 every game so we have a lot of guys who have experience when needed. That's why McConkey and others were able to step up when we lost Pickens/Mitchel/Burton during the regular season.

So, when you lose a Bowers-level receiver you can't replace them. But, you can have really good talent ready behind him with experience so long as you are willing to not have highlighted WRs. UGA is okay with that and it has worked for us thus far. Let's see how it does now that Bowers is out for a while.

I think he will be back for the SECCG for sure. Maybe earlier. He wants to play.

Torn pecs, ACLs, are the type of injuries that if you come back too soon you could reinjure just by playing. A high ankle sprain is not the same. Now, a QB like Tua doesn't need to run as much, so he could do it. We have a RT who got this surgery, but he is 330 pounds, so he is going to need more time to recover due to his weight. Bowers is in between. He's 230, but needs to be more mobile than either of those two players. 4-6 weeks sounds right.

There’s only been one 1000 yard receiver in program history. Terrance Edwards in 2002

Soooooooo, would you guys be willing to exchange receiver talent with a Kentucky, South Carolina, etc? Or Wake Forest, NC State, etc?

You ain't going to convince me that Georgia is lacking for talent at ANY position!

I get it. Georgia's receivers aren't very talented and never have been! That's why you offered them a scholarship.

Nobody said that. UGA’s WR room is always gonna be one of the deepest in the country, but other TOP programs are probably gonna have a better first wave because they feature receivers where we rotate, and the top top WR recruits don’t like being in a rotation. I like our way because our offense doesn’t shutdown after a couple injuries at receiver like apparently Bama and OSU’s does.

But FTR, Ladd McConkey was no star until UGA offered him, UGA recruits AND develops as well as any program in the country

Not the point I am making. Of course, we have better talent than those teams. You will recall both our NCs were criticized because Bama and tOSU lost top WRs. They should have had enough talent to get around it. They didn't because they highlighted a few WRs instead of rotating. I am simply saying we do it differently - we don't get as good talent at the position that they do because we rotate - but I hope our way of doing things will enable us to get around the loss of Bowers.

You keep talking about receiver rotations but Bowers isn't a receiver. You aren't rotating him out like a receiver bc he is blocking too. I'd be willing to bet he has taken a heck of a lot more snaps than the next TE.

Not to mention, doesn't Georgia run two TE sets a lot?

I’m putting Bama and tOSU in the same group as your dawgs. They did and do have enough talent to “get around it”. Nobody is going to convince me that teams who recruit like those three are bereft of talent just because of injuries… regardless how they develop them. Be it via Georgia’s game rotation method or if they develop in practice. Talent is talent.

Teams that recruit to the level those (and others do) ain’t getting any sympathy from me. The drop off in talent from one player to the next on teams like that is minimal compared to others.
 
I smell panic in here

We ran a lot of 12 last year when we had Darnell Washington who was a freak unicorn. Not as much this year.

When you have a Bowers, you don't differentiate between WR and TE ... they are just receivers. It's not like the passes he was getting are now going to go to TE2. As good as our TEs are, and we have the best TE room around, TE2-TE4 aren't who are going to get Bowers passes ... those are going to go to our WRs.

That is why I keep talking about "receiver" rotations.

First, no one is asking for sympathy. Nowhere in my post am I asking for anyone to feel sorry for UGA.

As for tOSU and Bama having the talent to fill in, evidently not if you listen to their fans after each CFP when we beat them. For months on end, and even continuing from tOSU's HC, they've gone on and on as to how our NCs aren't legit because they lost great receivers. Our response was that you have the talent, you just didn't develop it well enough to step in when needed, and that's because you don't rotate like we do.

So, we now have the situation where we lost our no. 1 receiver and I don't want UGA fans to use the same excuse. We rotate our receivers and we better be able to have the next man up mentality. It's been our response for years, it's been why we do that. So now let's see the rubber meet the road.
 
Generational TE, 1st round pick, One of the biggest X-Factor's in CFB on a team who is thirsting for one.
Championship hopes are all but gone at this point. I mean how can you replace a TE who generates 20 Fantasy pts a week. I can't catch a break :sigh:

But Thanks Brock for a wonderful 1.5 years of service
