The Blue Board

You must be related to the UGA poster above. I thought McCarron played great in the title game. I thought he's the reason you guys won. I wasn't impressed with him earlier in the year. He was ok, but not great. And, his no TD's and 1 INT performance against LSU during the season left me underwhelmed. I thought he could be something of a game manager, ala McElroy, but not great. Now, I've changed my mind b/c of his development. Maybe you could watch the Gamecocks play more often before you discuss C. Shaw. Please do so.

LOLOL Gamecocks and your delusional fantasies.

Ok, now I know I'm talking to a kid. Grown ups know that LOL's are silly on a board like this. Let me lay it out for you in a simple way. Carolina has taken 2 in a row from the Dawgs, and 3 of the last 5. We've been recruiting well recently too. Your response offered no substance other than a "LOL" and an unfounded assertion about our fanbase. I'll bet we beat you again next year in Columbia too. Murray hasn't shown he can win against good teams. He may be the most talented of all the SEC QB's, but he can't be in the top-3 until he plays well when it really counts. All facts, no delusion.

Stafford didn't really ever win the big games... some people who did: Leinart, Sanchez, Tim Tebow. Point being that your point is irrelevant. The people who make a living off of evaluating talent say Murray is legit. I know it's all opinion, but I would really question someone who uses this logic. Otherwise AJ McCarron and Jordan Jefferson were the best two in the SEC. Georgia's line is very sub par in the SEC. Follow that with a pretty lack luster run game, then yes he does struggle against teams that throw his blockers around like toothpicks and stops nearly all run attempts in the backfield. Connor Shaw being compared to Murray is laughable. I don't care what the stats say. Stats are for chumps and assistant coaches. Don't let numbers on paper dilute your common sense.

AJ Green caught passes from three different QB's. What did he say about Murray? He wouldm't be surprised if Murray won Heisman. I believe that your hate for UGA and need for numbers on paper for validation has clouded your ability to see talent.

uhhh... touche? i guess. nice stats

I won't say that those stats say Shaw is better. I WILL say you can't say comparing the two is "laughable" when their QB efficiency ratings are close to identical.

Seems to be there is a clear top 6 and everyone else, and then a clear wild-card in Mettenberger.

I'm sorry, but I'm not really sure what your point is. You say talent evaluators say that Murray is legit. I said in my previous post that he's the most "talented" guy in the SEC. So we agree. But, talent alone does no a great QB make. And, I never compared Shaw to Murray. All I said is that Shaw is the best athlete amongst the group. None of the Qb's mentioned can run with Shaw. He's (Shaw) also shown an ability to throw the ball of late. I just think that after a little more experience he'll be very good. And, I have good reason to think that. And, don't talk to Gamecocks about O-Line's who struggle to pass block.

Also, "stats are for chumps and assistant coaches" but playing well (or not playing well) in big games doesn't mean much? I just don't know what to say. Please, before you question someone's logic or common sense check your own.

I think as of right now the guys who have proven to best the most consistent players against good teams are

Tyler Wilson
Aaron Murray
Conner Shaw
AJ McCarron
James Franklin

We'll see how Franklin adjusts to the SEC, but my guess is he'll be pretty good.

I've been saying this for 2 years, but I'd like to see Tyler Bray play well and beat somebody with a pulse before I put him in the Top 2 or 3 QBs in the league. He played the full Florida game and almost all of the UGA game and was not impressive. And then we know what a disaster he was post-injury, but I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt with the injury.

Says the guy that probably used stats to compare Green and Julio like every other UGA fan did.

^^^ Can't Interpret what he reads ^^^
