The player isn't going to openly call out his coaching staff, and the dad isn't going to say anything that puts his kid's team in a bad light. Why the fuck was he even warming up on the sideline against Florida when Bennett got hurt if he wasn't ready to play? Kirby forfeited the season.
Kirby always takes the safe route, which is why Justin Fields is at Ohio State and why we got our asses kicked by the only two good teams we've played this season. I'd be less aggravated had JT came in and struggled, but in typical UGA fashion, it's too little, too late. This is a championship level roster with the talent in place, but the fact that we were ever in a position to have a walk on starting at QB is all on Kirby. And let's just say Daniels wasn't ready to play(even though he's been cleared since week 2 and was scrimmaging with the team in preseason), from everything I've heard, Carson Beck was impressing everyone at practice, and everyone knows the kid has an arm, why not see what he can do, especially since this season doesn't even count towards eligibility? Last time we tried out a true freshman, it worked pretty well for us.
I'm a diehard fan, but I'm sick and tired of always falling short. I've had enough of not having a difference maker at QB. I've had enough of making the same mistakes over and over again. Enough is enough.
If we go 0-12 next year, I'll be watching every game, and bitching on here about every one of them.
I absolutely knew that was going to be your response. LOL. So, here is what we have:
- Coach Smart has said directly, and indirectly, that he wasn't physically ready to play until this Saturday.
- His parents have said he wasn't ready to play, and they are very pleased with how CKS handled this.
- Every staff member of both Rivals and 247 have said he wasn't playing because of his knee wasn't ready.
- I am telling you that someone really close to the program informed me that he was not game ready, which caused accuracy issues; his knee was still not 100%, but that he kept working until his accuracy returned and he was more mobile; only once that happened would Monken - not CKS - start him, and that was the week after the UF game. You can choose to believe me or not.
- In the first game he played, he didn't scramble, and was seen at times limping, and was tended to on the sideline twice during the game.
- In order for you to be correct, Monken and CKS would have to have wanted to start a clearly less qualified QB with the knowledge you would likely get beat, all because he wants to take the safer route. I wish you could see just how stupid that statement is that a top 5 coach would basically sacrifice his season for no apparent reason.
- You know bring up Beck who is a true freshman who hasn't been able to move past Mathis and SBIV; you want him to come in for what reason? You don't have one other than you are emotional and frustrated.
I get being frustrated. I am too. But I also can control my emotions and listen to the facts. You are so into your misery and the narrative you've spun you won't listen to facts from the HC, staff at all the sites that cover UGA football, the parents of the QB, and a really good source to the program. Do yourself a favor and take a deep breath and realize you just might be wrong. I mean you are wrong, based on facts, but just stop and think that through. Just because you are sick and tired of falling short doesn't change he facts.
Finally, you want to be mad at someone, be mad at Monken. He's in control of the O. He decides who plays QB each week. You are so emotional, you are pissed off at the wrong person. I don't know what Kirby did to you, but he worked a number on you.
