i like staff just as much as the other bulldog alum…true bulldog fans should. Matt has more talent than all the other qb’s and it showed and the NFL agreed. and as great as he is and moreno, football is still a team sport and those other guys had a alll around better team and were full of jrs and seniors which moreno and stafford didnt really ever have.

as far as the uni’s,,you cant really screw up red , black and silver they all look good.

Matthew & Knowshon did not have the help on the field – from players & coaches – that they deserved for the talent they possess. They did all they could for us – can’t win a national championship with just 2 players. I hope they both excel in the NFL – on the field & in their wallets.

Staff and Moreno had great individual stats, and got Georgia to a a pre-season #1 ranking and a #3 finish in the nation. Both went in the 1st round, so you can’t blame them for leaving early. Plus, Richt wasted a year with Moreno because he misjudged his talent early.

If we would have handed the ball to Moreno more, and thrown less interceptions with Stafford, richt would have a national chasmpionship. Of course Willie’s D didn’t help a lot either.

Stafford was UGA’s best QB ever. He came in during a transitional period and really was not to blame for why the entire team did not win the SEC during his 3 years, despite having a stellar sophomore year. I also like his continued compliments and promotion of the Georgia program and his appearing back on the sidelines several times last season.

Stafford and Moreno were great for Georgia but did let down a little in 2008. However, that was not totally their fault. Our wonderful DC did not do his job of coaching the defensive talent that he had and he failed again in 2009. Hence he was fired. I am looking forward to seeing the coaching talent we have on the defensive side of the ball at work this fall. I think it will be tremendous and UGA fans will be both surprised and proud.

However, we are going to have to deal with the same issue on the offensive side of the ball if Bobo does not step it up. Last year could have been different had we figured out before the 5th game what the correct offensive line alignment should be. Likewise, we had issues with the defensive coaching abilities and we struggled. But Bobo and Richt seemed determined to put Cox in the spot light. Why did Gray not play more or not use one of the redshirt QBs more. If you have a player that is supposed to be a star – he needs to play early. Redshirt is useless if he can go pro – see Stafford and Moreno. Moreno was redshirted – imagine him playing his freshman year.

We need to focus on running the ball and have an Alabama offensive type year. Of course, I don’t expect our defense to be as good as Alabama’s was last year but if we have strong improvement on D then we can make large strides this year.

Stafford and Moreno ditched out on the expectations… expectations that were unrealistic. I don’t think they deserve discredit because they didn’t play for teams like the others. Even Zier playing under Goff played on a team. From the outside looking in, mind you, Stafford and Moreno just didn’t appear to be on a team. They were really bright stars in a collection of individuals. It wasn’t just the QB and RB that ditched out. Everyone ditched out, got kicked out, or injured out. I think it is all on the coaches. Richt deserves some criticism here. I will always suspected that his support staff were a bunch of bickering ninnies and ego heads who lacked leadership and destroyed morale. I think Richt responded to the criticism. He is a good HC, who has been willing to learn and make changes. But, hey I have never set foot in the locker room. There just seemed to be a lack of chemistry in ‘07-’08 and ‘09 was a rebuilder. It happens.

Stafford and Moreno will eventually be recognized once we are over the disappointment of the not #1 season. Look at their stats.

It was a proud day for all Dawg fans when Stafford was selected #1 overall. That being said, he will never hold the same place in this fan’s heart as, say, Greene or Shockley, who both brought an SEC title to Athens. No more gimmick, jerseys. Please. The Dawgs wear red helmets, red jerseys and silver britches. CMR needs to focus on better ways to motivate his players for big games rather than dressing them up like science fiction characters (see last season’s debacle against the Gators, who looked like a women’s softball team in all blue). If he sees the need to shake things up, why not put Uga in a black jersey? Just not the players.

First of all, Stafford was the most physically gifted QB to ever attend UGA. He was also an extremely smart QB (he could read defenses and make the appropriate pre-snap audible better than just about anybody).

Some complain that he wasn’t a vocal leader ala Tebow, but there is more than one type of leadership. You can go out, hoot and holler, which works very well for some people, or you can lead by example. Stafford was one of the latter. He went out there and played to the best of his ability week in and week out.

So why all the (unfair) Stafford hate? Well, he left early for the NFL, which, whether they’ll admit it or not, othered a lot of people, which is selfish on their part. The man played hard and played well for UGA those three years (helping us win the Sugar Bowl and finish #2-3 in the country [depending on which poll you follow] in ‘07), but some people think he “betrayed” UGA somehow by going pro. Yeah, he didn’t win an SEC title, but if you think that was all his fault, you’re stupid.

Did you see the defenses he had at his back? 07’s was decent at best, and 08’s was just plain bad (you should never score 42 points in a game and LOSE, especially when you have a 16-point lead at halftime). He also didn’t have a heckuva lot of receiver help until ‘08. Receivers alone were the reason we lost to South Carolina in ‘07. There were about 3 or 4 TD passes thrown INTO THE HANDS of receivers, who promptly dropped the pass, Coutu also missed a mind-boggling 3-4 field goals that game. I could go on for hours about the ‘07 team but I won’t.

The ‘08 team, offensively, had everything you need to win a championship. Defensively, they sucked. 49 points to UF, 41 points to ‘Bama, 38 (or so) points to UK, 45 points to Tech, 38 points to LSU. Need I say more? You can’t win (or compete) for a championship with a crappy defense.

To conclude, he is one of those legendary UGA QBs. And I think his stature will only increase with time. Stafford was lucky to have the opportunity to play for Georgia, and Georgia was lucky to have the opportunity to field a player of his caliber.

I don’t understand the negative vibes for Stafford. Yeah, he got more out of being at UGA than the team achieved on the field, but I’m not sure that was his fault. He played and tried to win every game, but a rifle can only do so much. I thought Bama was going to kill him in that massacre in Sanford Stadium.

As for the Black Helmets….NO WAY. They look like Grambling. Jerseys come and go, but your helmet says who you are. We are Georgia; we wear RED HELMETS with the big G, that’s that.

Mythoughts on the uniform issue:

Many of you have referenced Oregon and their mix-and-match style: They can do that because the owner of Nike is an Oregon grad and the Nike headquarters is in Eugene, and he basically gives them new uniforms each week while also using them as a blank canvas to test out new ideas. While that may work for Oregon (sometimes I love their uniforms and sometimes they are ghastly), I don’t think we should have any kind of similar mix-and-match uniform, no matter how awesome I think the black jerseys looked with the silver britches and red helmet.

Nearly all of the most respected programs in the country (Michigan, Alabama, Ohio State, SC, Penn State, Notre Dame, Texas, Oklahoma, e.g.) have a traditional uniform that doesn’t change week-to-week, year-to-year, or even decade-to-decade, and that includes the trim as well as the color combinations. It’s a brand, and you know exactly who it is the second you look at them. The traditional Georgia uniform, with the silver britches, red jersey, and red helmet with the black and white “G”, is currently like that. Anyone who glimpses at a Georgia uniform knows exactly what team it is for without even having to see the “G” on the helmet. That level of tradition and iconography can only help in marketing the program and recruiting the right kind of football players.

Second, on a more practical level, I think we could spend the money better elsewhere than just to appease the football team’s and the fans’ sense of fashion. Do you have any idea how much an extra set of jerseys, an extra set of pants, and an extra set of helmets would cost each year? Tens of thousands of dollars easily.

Stafford is one of my all-time favorite Bulldogs. Great arm, great competitor. Those who say he didn’t bleed red and black don’t know what they’re talking about. If he was only looking out for his pro career, he wouldn’t have sacrificed his body to make that touchdown-saving tackle against Michigan State in his final game.

You can’t hate on him for leaving early. The point of going to college is to prepare you for your career. If you can get $41.7 million guaranteed, you’d be a fool not to take it. Greene or Zeier or any of these other “true Dawgs” would have done the same. So would I, and so would you.

Georgia missed their best chance with Stafford and Moreno to win the SEC Championship. No excuses Dog fans. You know you coaching cost you a championship. The best you can now hope for in the next 3 to 4 years is the chance to get smoked (again) by Bama in the SECCG.

I think they should wear yellow. The way they gave up in the Tennessee, Florida and Kentucky games last year was hard to watch. Richt should have been fired after the Ky game.

Bill, as much as i hate it when you ask what we think, i have to weigh in on this one. I have no love for these guys. Mainly because of all the hype that was built around these guys. These two were the ones we all had been waiting on to lead us to the promise land. All along the notion of everyone was just wait til MR gets his players in here. And what did we get for it?? Nothing. Sure we got a trip to the Sugar bowl two yrs ago but no championships of any kind. As long as i can remember….uga fans(myself included) have always thought how much better our players are than other teams. And year after year…we keep getting our hearts broken.

I want players like Sam Bradford. He stayed for his senior season. He would have been a 1st rounder last year. He’d have gotten the big bucks. But he said he had always wanted to be the QB at Oklahoma and thats what he wanted to do. I know these kids are looking to make millions in the pros but as a loyal UGA fan i’m here to see our team excel and win championships. Give me players who want to be here because they want to be a DAWG. Having #24 and #7 set our program back 3yrs.

When you think about it, finding fault with Stafford and/or Moreno for leaving early with some unfinished business, while adoring Herschel when he did, virtually, the same thing. Sure we got a NC with him – but that was in ‘year one’, we wanted more, and by damned we’da probably had it if he’d hung in for another one. Of course, I blame Donald Trump and Jack Manton for all that – and the money, of course. And saying that Stafford and Moreno was the best ‘QB/RB’ tandem Georgia ever had? Sure Buck might not have been the gunslinger Stafford is, but we are talking about a ‘tandem’ here ain’t we? No way that the combination of the latter is better than the former. Ask the fans who they rather have back – in their prime.

As for the unis, please, lets don’t be an Oregon with a different combination every week – even if Nike were to pay us to do it. Don’t have problem with the red pants with the white tops – like the Tennessee game in ‘80 – but never again black pants and red tops like that game with Florida where we looked, and played (football), like the Redcoat Band…love the band mind you I just don’t want to be reminded of that game.

Stafford underachieved in Athens. Especially with Moreno lining up behind him, they should have won more games. His relatively low completion percentage and relatively high interception ratio (both bad stats considering he’s a #1 draft pick) added to his less than 3 year “career” in Athens tell me the fans are correct to place him beneath Shockley, Greene, and Zeier.

Stick with the classics. Richt should worry a bit more about winning games than the jerseys. The blackout is a great idea, but only for a special occasion, or when the players really deserve it.

By the way, those silver “britches” with the red jersey may have been “introduced” by Wally Butts to UGA in the ’50’s, but they had been, and still are, a staple at Ohio State long before UGA used them.

The head coach shouldn’t even be thinking about changing uniforms and breaking traditions until he can establish a new tradition of beating Florida.

I have been a Dawg fan since I was born. Yes, we have seen different variations of Red, White, Silver and Black, but the changing mid year as a gimmick to “reward” the players is a joke. The players are rewarded with an education, should they chose to accept it. How about they reward us with hard work, respectability in their community, and exceptional performance on the field.

I for one think the black helmets are awful. Should the team decide to go in a different direction with the uniforms, so be it, but bending over to the wants of fickle 19 year old is absurd.

Patrick,

Richt is 3-1 not 4-1 against Bama with his 3 wins coming over Bama teams crippled by probation. Even LA-Monroe and the Mississippi schools were beating Bama in the early 2000s. Its not as if beating Shula coached Bammer teams playing with half a deck is a big deal.

As for winning 3 of the last 4 against them they can just as easily say they’ve won 4 of the last 7 against UGA. And then they can say they own the overall series lead by double digits 11 games.

You would do well just to ignore rabble rousers like Toga.

Last, no one cares that Richt was beating weak Bama probation ridden teams 7 and 8 years ago. What does that have to do with here and now? What does it have to do with the current direction of the UGA program?

If you want to live in the past and compare records vs the Bammers it is an argument you cannot win. They have more of everything. More national titles, sec titles and division titles, more overall wins, head to head they own UGA, more bowl wins,etc. Just give it up and ignore folks like Toga.

Now it’s Dittmer! Excuse my racism, but when will these white guys stop embarrassing this team? It’s like they never learned to drink in the white ghettos. An educated black friend tried to help and what did he get?-a punch in the mouth. What makes these white guys so aggressive when they drink? Does it take an act of Congress? Oops…forgot that most of them came from the same degenerative racial background. These kids are an embarrassment to other well-mannered black members of their team. The racial disparity seems to be growing with the hard-working achieving black players doing what is right for their NFL careers while the white players seem to be interested only in cutting lawns for the rest of their lives. Don’t get me wrong. They come from athletically disadvantaged lives and it’s inspirational to see them attempting to lift themselves up…literally. They are trying to go beyond their European ancestor’s despotic brewing heritage to take their place among the black achieving community, but I guess it’s just in their genes. We know how the Native Americans tried to take advantage of them by using this flawed characteristic , but we know now how the whites twisted historical perception. They ramble around at all times of the night, drinkin’ their hooch and emulating their idols from the NFL. Of course they accuse the police of racial profiling, but we know that’s not true because a black cop lost his job trying to help a liquored-up white NFL player. They even have white power groups that feel they are superior to the God-fearing hard-working black people, but that was nipped in the bud by a NY black congressman who pointed out that if the last President was any indication of white superiority then we don’t have anything to worry about. When will these white players ever learn?

All this blame on the defense, How many 3 and outs did UGA have agianst GT in the 3rd Qtr.? UGA had 2 or 3 3 and outs and 2 turn overs in the first half against Bama during the black out game.

Was this Stafford and Moreno’s fault or Bobo and CMR? IMO if Stafford was one of the greatest at making the reads which, every one of his coaches think he is, he either did not execute the throw or Bobo had the wrong play in as the next option.

Either way yes the defense was bad, but special times and offense did them no favors. If Stafford had Greene’s defense, I doubt the team would have an SEC title and I would not blame Stafford.

I’m hoping Grantham raises Bobo’s game. I do not want to see a Dawg run out of Athens but the past few years have not lived up to what they could.

Also CMR lost alot of my respect last year in Jax. Yes winning is what matters put the extra time in a game plan, calling plays, sitting in position meetings not uniforms.

One more thing, Anonymous… in the last four years Richt took the ‘Dawgs to a BCS game, finished #2 in the nation, has beaten Florida (soundly, too, WITH Tebow on the field, I might add). He HAD the best team in the nation in the eyes of most fans that year, when it was all said and done. No biggie; he’d ALSO have had a shot at a BCS title (I believe) were it not for D.J. Shockley missing a game (vs. Florida) where we STILL almost won the game despite having to play our 3rd string QB that year; and his first 1-loss campaign came in one of those (now) “fluke” years where twoi teams actually managed to go undefeated going into the bowls.

Stafford and moreno I feel like have a different legacy. I think Moreno is the second best RB ever at UGA. I think stafford is probably the most talented qb ever at UGA, I don’t think he was the best qb though at UGA. That’s the difference I think, he never lived up to his potential. Especially when Greene did better then anyone ever thought and in one year as a starter shockley did what was expected. I think that is why many people don’t feel as much love for stafford, although as mentioned earlier with a better defense who knows how many championships UGA may have had.

As far as the jerseys, I like wearing different colors, and I know the players like changing it up. I actually liked the black helmets, I just didn’t like the red facemasks, go with a black facemask.

See, “Anonymous,” we can ALL pick apart a coach in any way, shape, form or fashion; I’m not gonna discount what Saban’s done because his record speaks for itself; but don’t come here and think you can say Richt’s not done well in his tenure, when the record says otherwise. ‘Bama doesn’t have Florida every year (hell, even LSU does); ‘Bama doesn’t have to play TWO top-tier SEC schools within its division each year along WITH whatever comes out of the other division. See, Georgia ALWAYS has Florida, Tennessee AND Auburn every year. You have Auburn (when they’re occasionally good) and LSU (when they’re now occasionally good) and two lousy MIssissippi schools and an Arkansas program that’s actually bitten the Tide once in awhile. By the way, when’s the last time Miss State U. beat ‘Bama? Been fairly recently, hasn’t it? Who’s worse – Kentucky or Miss State, the last 4-5 years?

See, it could go on and on; but it’s absurd to.

impatient dog: Ohio state had a uniform change this past year, I remember hearing about it on gameday. Personally, I don’t care what ND and Nebraska are doing these days, and look at what florida does as far as uniforms. I know this, I’m around football players everyday and they love changing up the uniforms. There’s a saying that I heard when I got into athletics “if you look good then you’ll feel good, if you feel good then you’ll play good.” Jerseys aren’t some magical thing that is going to make a team win if they are clearly worse, but it can change the dynamics sometimes.

Ron Roberts,

Enough with the koolaid. UGA was not the best team in the country in 07. Lost to an unranked Carolina team at home and got blown out by UT. And lets not forget that Vandy beats you if they don’t fumble going in for the td that woulda put the game on ice. Championship teams may lose as LSU did on the road in triple ot to 2 bowl bound teams but championship teams do not get BLOWN OUT. LSU also beat VT which ended the season 4th or 5th in the

nation and beat em 48-7. LSU also beat UT and did it with a backup qb. LSU deserved it plain and simple.

Also, you come up with the excuse that UGA lost to UF cause Shockley was hurt but conveniently ignore the fact that Tebow was playing hurt in 07 and that UF had 3 key Defensive lineman out for that game. Typical excuse making by dog fans.

How2fish,

Sportsmanship? Teaching young men how to succeed? Are you serious? After all the soulja boy dancing on the sideline when beating AU, the piling on in the end zone in the UF game? All the other unsportsmanlike penalties in the 07 UF game? The 21 UGA players that have either been arrested or cited by the police in the past 2 years. Surely you jest. You guys are wayyyyyyyy ahead of everyone in the Fulmer cup rankings. No one is even close. Isn’t there a dog player getting arrested literally every weekend it seems?

REALDAWG,

Saban is bolting after this season? Really? Why didn’t he take the USC job or the ND job earlier when they opened up? What’s that? He’s going back to the pros? After taking a million dollar pay cut from a historically plum Dolphins job to go back to college? Sorry dude but his NFL bridges are burned. What’s that? Urban Meyer is leaving? Sure buddy. Surrrrre.

I really don’t give a damn about arguing whether Stafford/Moreno loved Georgia, deserted us, etc. I’m concerned about winning the SEC (we enter our fifth season without having won the East) and then the BCS championship. What’s that? We need to focus on those goals even though they are distant now. Who knows?

Maybe I’m wrong but I find CMR to be one of the most enigmatic coaches ever. Here he gets his butt kicked in over a four year period and he’s talking about uniforms? You could fool me but I thought that winning was the primary concern, not fashion. And the reality is that I would love to see us wear Oregon-like uniforms only if we are in championship games. I want to win.

Now let’s get back to winning football. I hope we win this fall but I’m not optimistic. CMR doesn’t have it as a HC competing with the likes of Saban and Meyer. Deal with it because it’s the truth. You delusional people are still talking about what? The first five years? Our great “leader” persisted with CWM as DC for another year after five games in 2008 where the D gave up 30 points or more. Do you know what other business that would have tolerated such mediocrity?

This is the weakness of CMR. I think most anyone would have canned Willie after such a pathetic showing on D. But we shouldn’t forget that the vaunted offense of Stafford and Moreno were shut out against Bama for the first half. Florida picked Stafford to death on the way to a romp. Oh, you have to have the D but IMO it has always been CMR’s offense where there’s the trouble. And please Lord, tell CMR to be HC not OC although I think he feels the heat and believes he can contribute by overseeing his choice for OC, Mike Bobo. Ugh! Bobo is a young coach and is out of his league as OC. CMR is going to try and force that one too. It’s his nature. Look at the record. It leaves me breathless. Lest you forget, he took Fabris back after he went to Oklahoma. And he couldn’t control Fabris with those directional kicks. And CMR was the HC. What does that tell you? He’s a weak guy stuck in the mud. But Damon’s got him by the cajones now because Damon stepped up with the bucks and got the man Richt wanted. Now what’s the excuse? That’s what Damon is going to ask too.

I don’t know any of these people personally so I have no animus. I just see the results.

CMR’s record is Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. He had a great first five years and a horrific four years. At best he has two years if things don’t improve dramatically.

We’re an also ran with the likes of Saban and Meyer. People can talk about them all they want. I’d take either one over CMR in a New York minute! CMR’s destiny is a ministry somewhere and I don’t say that sarcastically. It seems to me that is his real love. Soon he will have enough money to follow his heart. I wish him God’s speed when that day comes.

Prove me wrong CMR. The field is yours.

And now the excuse will be a rookie QB running the show. Last year it was Joe Cox who our coaches said would be “fine.” They lied to us because Joe was far from fine. Valiant but not fine.

And pray tell, who is the backup? Logan Gray ain’t in the hunt. So if Aaron gets hurt, we’re in a heapa trouble. And if it’s Logan, we’re in a heapa trouble.

If we set to achieve mediocrity, we’ve succeeded beyond our wildest dreams!

Junkyard Dawg, your son is right on. Stafford never gave his heart and soul to UGA. UGA was a finishing school for him…prepping him for the NFL. As for the uniforms…there should be no change. Teams with long lasting tradition don’t change their unis. Think Ala, Mich, SCal, TN, OSU, Penn St, et al. The only reason to follow Richt’s suggestion is for the increased jersey sale revenues. If UGA is gonna do that they should just wear all black with a big Nike swoosh on their helmet.

I appreciate the job that Stafford did for us; however, I would like to submit a little bit of information that you might not be aware of. For the past fifty one years, every SEC championship team that UGA has fielded was led by a Quarterback who was a Georgia native:

1959- Fran Tarkenton

1966- Kirby Moore

1968- Mike Cavan

1976- Ray Goff, Matt Robinson, Tony Flanagan

1980 & 1981- Buck Belue

1982- John Lastinger

2002- David Greene

2005- DJ Shockley

All Georgia natives; All SEC Champions.

Stafford did get more out of UGA than UGA got out of him – he grew up. He takes responsibility for his new team’s success. When he popped his shoulder out last season for the Detroit Lions, he bypassed the team doctor after getting it fixed, coaches, etc and went back to lead Detroit. He started at UGA as a marginal leader at best. Towards the end of his tenure there, he was the undisputed leader.

The Florida game the year after we handled them pretty well, UGA and MS and No Show stunk up the place. MS with his horrible throws and under throws when he had MM streaking wide open for any easy TD in that game and with No Show’s horrible FUMBLES in that same game, they will be remembered.

When a kid turns pro, I say good bye. I am a UGA COLLEGE FOOTBALL fan, not NFL fan, so when they leave, it is bye bye. Take the current 5 UGA kids or 8 now, that will sign pro deals ……………..what did they ever do for UGA?? This is the major problem for big football schools that can recruit. Can the Coach motivate them and develop a system that their respective talents can thrive in?? THIS is where a coach becomes great or just really decent. With the drop off in quality on UGA’s team last season ………….it did not come close to being just fair to decent. Decent is the Cap One Bowl or the Outback or Cotton. Fair is the CHi Fil A or the Gator. The Weedeater is bordering on we are bottom feeders and “let us make a change” and we did with the D coaching staff.
