You really shouldn't act like you know anything about UGA football, because you don't. It's why I would never continue to argue with you about anything Texas ... your knowledge is greater than mine by a large factor.
1. My point is that Smart didn't promise that Fields would start, and he was the no. 1 recruit that year. He told him he had to compete, and he couldn't beat out Fromm. The idea that he would require Fields to compete but is now promising that Raiola gets immediate PT doesn't make sense.
2. Incumbent? Fromm had 1 year of experience (albeit a good year), and there were no other QBs in that room. Raiola is coming into a class where we already have the no. 144 player, QB12 who will move up a lot in the rankings, and we have three QBs with 3, 2, and 1 years experience already here (1 will leave by transfer), all of whom were 5* or 4*. He's coming into a loaded QB room - he will have a returning starter, and then a QB2 with 3 years of experience, and another QB in his class. Moreover, we don't start freshman QBs unless we have to ... Eason and Fromm as examples ... because our offense requires they know how to make pre-snap reads that a freshman won't know, no matter how physically talented they are.
3. The baseball incident was a nothingburger. The attorney, Tom Mars, used that to get immediate eligibility. A drunk baseball player yelled some stupid shit from the stands. If you think that is why Fields left, LOL. You, who doesn't follow UGA closely, are arguing with one who follows it too closely. So let me fill you in - the same year after the baseball player yelled that shit, Fields' sister enrolled at UGA with a softball scholarship. I am sure her parents were totally worried about the racism at UGA ... SMH.
