Heisman finalists named…Hunter, Jeanty, Ward and Gabriel.

https://www.heisman.com/articles/gabriel-hunter-jeanty-ward-named-2024-heisman-trophy-finalists/
 

Reading this, I mean I knew Hunter was good but damn his numbers are pretty crazy.

Hunter, a two-way star, was named All-Big 12 first-team receiver and earned honorable mention for Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year. He leads the Big 12 with 92 receptions and 14 receiving touchdowns and is second with 1,152 yards. His 21 receiving plays of 20-plus yards lead the nation. He also is Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year and a unanimous first-team defensive back after recording 31 tackles, tying for the Big 12 lead with 11 pass breakups and tying for second with four interceptions.

We’ve heard your QB opinions plenty in the past.  Hmm

3rd in the SEC in passing and #9 in the nation.  Hardly sucks

Yeah, and his hardly any experience having backup came in and immediately looked dramatically better.

If Beck doesn't get injured UGA loses that game. If they roll with Beck again Athens is gonna riot.

He is probably done anyway.  I just noticed Kirby said on his rehab “we will be supporting him every step of the way”.  That doesn’t sound good.

Kirby probably initially quiet….because I think the CFP had some precedent set that you have to penalize a team that loses their starting QB

I've seen a lot of people saying this but FSU would've easily been in a 12 team field. FSU just got screwed because it was the last year of the four team format.

He said it today but yeah they were smart to delay any news.  Georgia was #2 regardless though. Their resume was amazing

Losing your starting QB going into the playoff mattered last year.  Precedent was set.  Not saying they would have been out if it was known but you think they might have to be slightly dinked given what they did last year

Sure they would have still made the 12 team format.   I’m not suggesting UGA should be out with that news.   But if there starting QB is out for the season….how do you not ding them and knock them down a couple spots from #2.  Given what they did last year with key QB injuries if you know that.

The backup QB coming in and looking better than Beck probably has something to do with it. I mean, most people watching UGA have been wondering for awhile why the hell this guy hasn't been yanked yet. Not exactly the same situation as FSU last year when FSU's backup looked atrocious in a win against Louisville on the ACC championship game. When he went 8/21 their playoff hopes died. UGA's backup went 12/16.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By Icege · Posted

      WR: Nico, Woods, Tank (R) TE: Schultz OL: Tunsil/Howard/Deiter/Mason/Fant vs. WR: Chark, Thielen, Mingo (R) TE: Hurst OL: Icky/Zavala (R)/Bozeman/Jensen (R)/Moton   Panthers' had the better OL before losing BC week 1 and AC week 4 which is kind of ironic considering how in the following year DB went down in W1 and Shaq in W4 resulting in the defense going all to Hell. CJ has done amazing in Houston, but he also wasn't asked to carry Zavala, Jensen, Mingo, Hurst, and Chark as a rookie.

      Past 5 seasons, IMO CJ Stroud and Joe Burrow are the 2 best young QBs that have emerged in the league in that window.  They also didn’t need vets to be their primary pass catchers.  They helped fellow youngsters be great at WR.   almost all the other young QBs have been paired up with vets in their top options….and haven’t been as promising.  so it isn’t Madden.  But the league hasn’t played out as you suggest it does.   Good QBs make others around them better.

      In 2023 their roster wasn’t stacked. They nailed the poo out of the 2023 draft and since they knew Davis Mills wasn’t the guy, they tanked properly to get pick 2. They also took Cleveland’s ridiculous offer for Watson unlike us with Burns. Houston received enough draft capital to jump up to 3 while picking up the right guys in Anderson and Stroud. The Texans were not stacked or better than us in 2023. They had 11 total wins from 2020 to 2022. They didn’t have a terrible front office so they made sure they got their QB of the future while tanking well and getting more draft picks. They are a textbook study of what we should have done in 2022/2023 offseason even though people in here still think tanking is a bad word and our culture would be bad if we were the Texans. We literally had the chance to be the Texans right now and fuged it up.
