Fromm declares for NFL Draft
- Thread starter fabcat
- Start date
They'll get a quality grad transfer - likely Newman from WF or Costello from Stanford. Word is that Newman is working out in Atlanta today.
Mays father played at TN, younger brother just signed there. Don't have to be a mental giant to figure that one out.
Sounds like Kirby was not blind sided by this decision since Newman is working out in Atlanta today. Haven’t kept up with this kid, is he from Atlanta??
I agree...I think Newman is a drop off from Fromm
Newman completion percentage is almost always below 60% in ACC play and it's all short stuff. Now he can run a bit with his legs but he's no great QB run threat. I just don't see UGA offensively being anything great w/o Fromm, top OL and Swift while keeping the same OC who was underwhelming.
I think the UK is a legit threat to win the East.
Not necessarily... he hasn't even officially put his name in the portal yet I don't believe. I think Newman, Costello or possibly even Chase Brice would be candidates to come in.
IMO, Fromm needs another year. Didn't seem to progress from last year. While he's never going to be drafted over Lawrence if he stays another year, he might be the 4th or worse QB drafted this year vs. perhaps 2nd next year (Burrow, Tua, Herbert, Hurts (?), Eason (?), et al). He'll obviously get drafted and may turn out to be a really good QB in the NFL. He just didn't consistently play like an NFL talent this year, imo.
Without a doubt they’d rather have Fields in house, but look around the landscape, kids, especially QBs, just aren’t sticking around to be back-ups anymore.
Joe Burrow will be starting in the national title game on Monday. Justin Fields will not.
Do you think Ohio State is mad about that?
it's a lot deeper than that, his parents are suing Georgia and Mays is a projected top 15 pick in next years draft so leaving now is actually a setback for him as he will have to set out a year
No way he'll sit, just no way. This is being carefully calculated by Fullmer and his minions.
So you think UGA let him transfer? Good QBs aren't sitting and waiting their turn anymore.
On the Mays issue, parents weren't happy we didn't offer little brother. Sued the AA board because the dad got part of his pinky finger cut off during Cafes recruitment.
Case was a surprise to me, but apparently not to staff we signed heavy on the OL. We are bringing in a grad transfer QB, I haven heard Costello mentioned until Jammer. But Neuman, Brice and King are names I have heard.
UT fans going nuts down here. Already celebrating SEC East title for 2020. Pruitt declared the 20's as the decade of the Vols.
Phat Phil working behind the curtain. We are off to see the Wizard.

I also hear that the cats are "Real Contenders" for the east next year since it is SOOO wide open now .
It was open regardless. Now more so. We have more starters coming back than anyone in the SEC. We like our chances
I guess UGA will go with Justin Fields, he was the consensus no. 2 QB two years ago, behind Trevor Lawrence. He hasn't played much at Georgia, so who knows what he can do, you know, with a really good team around him. I guess we will see in 2020.
Guess we can finally see this now.
I take the other position. Fromm isn't a hugely talented guy........he's just a good, steady-eddie type. I don't know if he's capable of putting up high 1st rd draft tape. And by a lot of accounts this QB draft class isn't the greatest.......and UGA's losing a lot off their OL and general roster.

That story is effed up on Mays.
We're still good on the OL and we may bring in our best OL class ever this cycle if our 2 current commits stick.
I don't think so. Probably Newman, but there's chatter on Costello from Stanford and Brice from Clemson. Beck is already on campus early and he's going to be good. 6'5" with a cannon and can move in the pocket.
Suing over 2 years later smh... and no way Mays is a top 15 pick... no way... and I like Cade.
Just early projections due to his ability to play all 5 positions and I assume projected growth after next year
He's going to have different weapons in Athens and now teams are going to have to respect the RPO differently. He's also going to have better pass protection. Looks like it's happening.
You serious Clark? Fields is at Ohio St. or is there something I’ve missed in your post?
Fromm probably wasn't having any fun in that system. Kirby used him an old school Alabama way as a game manager. Give Kirby a few more years and his QB roster will look more like South Carolinas than Bamas. Fromm was basically used in a 60/40 run pass offense at Georgia. They won games playing like that, but what top QB is going to be happy in their system?
Those guys are looking to develop and showcase skills and go to the next level.

Clemson threw it about 50 more times if you count the throws that the backup had when they pulled Lawrence. Lawrence also threw for around 600 more yards than Fromm.
Fromm threw about 15 more passes and had 400 less passing yards than Fields and had 450 less rushing yards than him.
Hurts threw for a 1000 more yards and rushed for 1300 more yards than Fromm.
Just because you throw a few more short low risk passes doesn't mean you play on a more QB friendly team. Smart is one of the most conservative coaches in the game.
Try again...you're trying to look at only the Jalen Hurts year. The Baker Mayfield era they threw it a ton
