True. I think Rattler's history as a "former Heisman candidate" gave him a little more credibility as well.
I only see a legit 4 wins in 2024. Outside of if these who else can they beat?

Don't forget, you are dealing with the master turd polisher.
Agree with this...kind of. We did a lot more to lose that game that Clem did. We made plays in the end and they didn't.
Did you even watch that game? It doesn't sound like you did.
I guess the point is; Rattler didn't look "great" in that game, he looked "good enough". Neither team looked great. Rattler got a lot of mileage out his "Heisman hopeful" time at OK. It will be interesting to see how he does in the draft. The pro scouts know exactly what they are looking for.
I don't know who watched what game, and who has what definition, but I thought we scored early in the 4th of this the 2023 game to make a 7 pt. game early in the 4th qtr in the game I watched.
Now I remember the prior trip to Texas A&M the 2021 game 14- 44, that was definitely uncompetitive. I still remember the below image, going to commercial, glad Zeb got up
Agree. I think he'll shine in the combine and the interviews. He can make all the throws.
Yeah, it was a 7 point game at the end of the 3rd.I don't know who watched what game, and who has what definition, but I thought we scored early in the 4th of this the 2023 game to make a 7 pt. game early in the 4th qtr?

That game was a disaster in 2021!
Yes, that is not a uncompetitive game to me, but if a 7 pt. game into the 4th quarter is uncompetitive to you, and your a Gamecock fan, it must be miserable watching Gamecock football through the years, LOL.

Eh, I've watched enough of our football. We did make it a 7 point game, but there was never a sense that we could actually win.
I've heard that. But if our quarterback couldn't get us past UPC, he might not have been able to get us past Duke, either, especially if playing Duke when UPC played them.
In all honesty no. But last season, Spencer had no help besides XL. If we can fix the run game, the pass blocking, and consistency at the receiver position, I think the QB play will be good enough to win more games.
Honestly we donāt know. I mean, Spencer had A LOT of weapons in 2022. Juice, Vann, Brooks, Bell, Lloyd, Adkins. And he didnāt put up great numbers with them. Itās entirely possible that weāve overinflated him bc he was a Heisman candidate and the UT game. Now, we can wonder what might have happened if he had a line that protected him. But from a production standpoint, itās certainly not out of question that Sellers will be able to match that.
BIG TIME SUNSHINE PUMPER
The man was constantly under duress, but he demonstrated that he is a warrior and a team player. He has the arm and the smarts. With good resources, he could do very well, I would posit.
He's gone though Ward. Once he steps foot off campus, he's automatically worse, and instantly replaceable.
And every recruit or incoming transfer at any position is an automatic enhancement of his position's "room".
nah by July we will be in the 12 team playoff
lol. Some of yāall are overly dramatic.
For the record, Iāve been very critical of his play on the road all year long. And have said numerous times on here he had one great game in 2022. All you have to do is go back and see how many QBs weāve had over the year with around 3k yards and less than 20 TDs. Hereās a hintā¦itās more than 1.
Iām spot on in my analysis. Someone says itās not impossible to replace him and you run with ānow that heās gone heās worse and instantly replaceable.ā Youāre dramatizing what you are reading. And what is Vizzini?
A reference you obviously missed. It might be an age thing.
You seem to be taking offense, and none is really intended. Perhaps some of us have just been around message boards, and college football long enough to recognize the pattern and to chuckle at what we see as cliche.
Just a few posts above a comment was thrown out that every recruit or transfer is an automatic enhancement for that position. That poster, and those of us chuckling over it aren't being serious. We're laughing about how it's a yearly exercise, downplaying the outgoing talent and talking up the incoming talent.
It happens every year, and after enough time, people begin to see the pattern and get a little laugh out of it. It's not a big deal. It's expected. It's cliche.
My only real surprise is that it l seems to have started early this year. But that may be me misremembering the general trend over time.

haha. Yeah, just googled it, definitely an age thing.
Iām not taking offense to it, hence the ālolā. Itās all good.
OL, QB, WR, and CB all question marks, and to me DL is still a question mark. I think 6 wins is within reach but not likely. To me , it all depends on the offense. Sellers will have to have a break out season, passing and running for us to get to 6 or 6+ wins. Can he be Superman?. Maybe. Thatās a lot of pressure for a young kid
Your forgot RB. Let's be honest, there really isn't a position group that can be said to be "solid". LB may be the best but even that is a "tallest pygmy in the jungle" sort of compliment.
I like your last point, but you have to remember who was calling the offense, once it was simplified for Spencer and the team it started to click! Then Dowell came in with not many weapons and to me the offense looked more cohesive and ran smoother! So I quess Iām on the fence because we just donāt no if weāll be getting better on the line and receiving, I do think weāll be better running the ball though IF the line can run block!
There are a lot of unknowns for his career here. He had more weapons in ā22, but a horrible OC that I believed hamstrung him). This year I thought the OC allowed him to play (I get the stats comparison between Satt and Loggains and all), but beyond XL it seemed every else was worse (including ST and D).
Iām more so talking about from a throwing ability and mentally. From a numbers standpoint, I can see Sellers having a better year because heās more mobile. Satt held us back in 2022 with the weapons he had tbh.
I think if Juice were healthy it would have made a YUGE difference. UGA had no answer when he was on the field. With he and X out there, who knows what kind of year we could have had.
Agree. And that's kind of my point in thinking Sellers will be able to keep it rolling. It's more than just an individual's talents. It's the players and coaches around him. In 2022 he had the players around him, but coaching sucked. In 2023, it appears coaching was better but the players dropped off. Ratt improved in % and threw less INTs, but yds and TDs were about the same.
Sellers coming in with a RB stocked with actual RBs, a OL room that will be healthy (and hopefully remain that way), and Logg in his 2nd year will be an overall improvement in my opinion.
That's the kind of theoretical reasoning that eludes some around here. I approve of it. But it could be that the reason he wasn't out there was because the program is cursed. I can be theoretical too.
Juice was on the field for one series, the first possession of the game. Yes, he looked good in that possession but I'm pretty confident UGA would have adjusted on D to account for him. Juice was really good in that one possession he played but I don't think he could have single handedly changed the course of the season.
