fuzzybee22 Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 So, the AUC puts up a poll on who should start in the Falcons regular season opener, and despite the fact that they list the QB stats and Shockley has a 5.6 QB rating, he actually comes in a close second in the poll. I would just like to say that despite the fact that I am a GT fan, I root for any UGA player who plays for the Falcons, and I would want Shockley to be our QB if I felt he was our best option, but this is getting ridiculous. Thank God that our coach is not an idiot UGA homer. Side note: Shockley majored in Speech Communications as a "student"-athlete at UGA. Let me clarify that for some of you. Shockley majored in Talking at UGA. He originally intended to double-major in Walking and in Chewing Gum, but he couldn't pull it off concurrently, and he isn't going to pull off being a starting QB in the NFL. So, get over it. Just be glad that the "university" in Athens has likely produced another fine PE teacher. Hope he doesn't screw that up too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romfal Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Wow this is getting way out of proportion. I just can't wait for DJ to get his start and show everyone what kind of "Da Future" he is so we can move on with our lives Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chiefbird Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Who else should we start Mr Fuzzy Bee? How about Joe Hamilton after we get him out of jail and the drunk tank? Or perhaps Reggie Ball - now there is a QB. Shockley has yet to work with the number 1 offense, and I see more upside in him than Joey - I don't say start him, but he should be the number 3 QB, and mybe the number 2 - and until Ryan is ready, just maybe he should play.

No one is calling for Shockley to start...We just want to see him make the team as the 2nd or 3rd best option at QB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freebird587 Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 im kinda mad at myself for even posting on this thread, but i have a question for you fuzz....are you saying you would rather have joey here rather than dj & is it because you get sick of hearing about him or you think joey is better?

cuttermd Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Our QB situation for this season is not very good. The fact is in 2 games Ryan has looked the best, except for one throw. Redman & Harrington haven't done anything to impress with their opportunites. I hear all this garbage about Shockley being cut. C'mon, Redman? He has started 4 games in the last 4 years. Joey? Uh....nevermind.... Until DJ gets to throw to receivers who can catch, I am withholding judgement on who should be cut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
