How do Fromm's intangibles suddenly make you think the OL & WRs...
...weren't MAJOR problems last year?
Again, Richt left zero (zilch, nada) SEC OTs on the roster. A D2 transfer waltzes in to the LT job, & we are forced into moving our best G to RT. They were both abysmal, and the light interior linemen got destroyed up the middle. Worst Georgia OL in a long time.
WRs were below average. IM was our only legit playmaker, and even he had struggles at times. Go back and look at the number of drops for the WR corps. The WRs that could block (Chigbu & Stanley) couldn't catch, they were just awful. The WRs that could catch (IM, Godwin) were midgets that couldn't block & constantly got edge running plays blown up. The only guy that could do both (Ridley) couldn't stay healthy.
Generous grades for the season: OL (D) WRs (C-)
How under these circumstances Georgis fans could expect Eason to be a star as a TFr QB in the SEC (when NOBODY stars as a TFr QB in the SEC) is mind boggling. Somebody on here did a great analysis of how Eason's year was actually superior in most ways to other UGA & SEC Fr qbs. It's amazing that he did as well as he did right out of HS with that sorry OL & WR group.
And now of course people are heralding yet another TFr QB to come in and take the job. I believe Fromm will be great, but he ain't gonna beat out a future #1 NFL pick with a year under his belt.
