A.J.’s legacy at UGA: A great player who didn’t go great places (UPDATE: Green Tweets he’s not leaving – at least not yet)

Agreed MB, Green was the best WR in UGA bistory but Dawgs underachieved during his tenure.

Best of luck to AJ in the NFL, he’s gonna be a bigger stud than Julio 4 sure!

Mark,
Excellent points. Also requires a serious look at WHY he didn’t do much better in his career, not only with wins and losses, but also statistically. To me it speaks volumes about our offensive coaching, in-game strategy and failure to take advantage of his exceptional talent. I think of Larry Fitzgerald, a similar player who broke all kinds of statistical records at Pitt despite having mediocrity all around him. Only conclusion I can come to is a high degree of incompetence with the UGA offensive coaching. Bring on the debate…

If A.J. Green is most likely to go to the Browns he should stay in school

Nah…I actually think that the St. Loius Rams have the biggest need for a number 1 WR who can stretch the field…but they are playing themselves out of the top 10 picks…so unless they trade…and that would be a good place for A.J. Green to go and become an elite NFL WR.

Person who compared Fred Gibson to A.J. Green…are you serious? Probably were joking and stop comparing their collegiate numbers…that means sh*t in the NFL. Fred washed out of several practice squads and eventually out of the NFL, which is why he was getting this degree from UGA (finishing it).

A.J. Green will be a number 1 WR on most NFL teams when he gets drafted (instantly)

Selfishly as a UGA fan, I hope he somehow stays…but it’s just not realistic and makes no financial sense for him to do so.

If aj decided to stay and was injured and couldnt play anymore how many of you so called dawg fans would look out for him and his family and make sure they are financially secure? Yea just like I thought nobody would. if he decides to return great, if he goes pro thats great as well. Why do you weak ass fans feel like these players should stay loyal to you when all you do is trash them? An 18-22 yr old young man shows poor judgement and skips a court date or has a drink like ANY and every college student does you label him a thug and completely disrespects him yet when its time for him to make a life changing decision you expect him to consider you rednecks news flash aj green does not owe you anything!

Mark,

Think about it! AJ’s first year was with a future #1 draft pick at QB. The in his second year he was being thrown the ball by Joe Cox. And in this past season by a Freshman QB. What numbers would he have put up the past three years had all three been paired with Matthew Stafford?

No doubt he blew it in the jersey but the biggest reason for the lack of growth/regression was the above, poor coaching, and the lack of necessary talent. Remember GA’s record this season BEFORE he returned? 1-3. Nothing to write home about but this mediocre team finished 5-3 with him.

Anyone saying that AJ should return to school (if he’s truly projected in the top 10 picks) is simply naive. Do you remember Quentin Moses??? He was rated in the top half of the first round after his junior season. Did the ‘right’ thing, came back, faced double teams his entire senior year, his stats suffered, and he fell to the 4th round. The Cardinals cut him in the preaseason. A first round pick NEVER gets cut without a legit shot. If a player is projected in the first round, regardless of where, they should go.

Thanks AJ, for 3 solid years, it’s too bad the team as a whole couldn’t reach your level of individual play.

GO DAWGS!

Based on Green’s performances against Florida, when he was mostly covered by NFL type cornerbacks, he will be an average NFL player and wide receiver in the NFL. He is a very good player, but not good enough to be a top 5 selection unless that team has no needs elsewhere. Now…if the Falcons have the number 5 pick…they should go for Green. But teams like the Falcons will not be picking that high. Teams like Carolina will…and their priority needs will not be at WR….or shouldn’t be.

The answer to why Green didn’t accomplish as much as UGA is an easy one word answer: DEFENSE.

The defensive collapse at UGA is primarily the reason UGA failed to live up to preseason #1 hype in 2008 and had trouble in games they usually won before in both 2009 and 2010. Yes Stafford and Moreno going pro early didn’t help in 2009, but the Defense is the biggest problem at UGA.

Green definitely is a big reason UGA started 1-4 in 2010. I think at worse they lose 2 of those games, probably only one, if Green is eligible to play.

Mark,
I’m with you, “…befuzzled after ‘first’…”

Reasons he might stay: his mom wants him to get a degree (HE wants his degree); the concomitant priceless senior year; unfinished business due to the sorry season; end up with the worst NFL team

Reasons he’ll go pro: the money (after he buys his mom a new house, she’ll relent); he can do summer school and finish his degree; the money; he doesn’t “owe” UGA nor the fans a darn thing (CFB is the NFL’s minor leagues)

I wonder about his body frame in the NFL; he’s pretty darn skinny. But, look back at Hines Ward when at UGA, compared to his frame now. He’s bulked up so much it makes ya wonder. Julio and Calvin, for instance, are much bigger framed. Can such a skinny WR take the pounding going up over the middle?

Yes, he’s a great one and we hope he returns.

“Chuck” @ 11:54; I don’t think it was coaching as much as it was three different QBs, the last of which was a freshman who’d never played a down of CFB. QB’s and WR’s have to play together a while, just like the O line.

Just because a man is 7 feet tall that does not make him a basketball player. Must be something in Athens that make everything a few inches more than it is. Great for journalism or in this case selling news but until someone in this state starts judging talent in real daylight we are going to continue to watch major college football from the stands. Greatness receiver in Georgia history? There is an old man playing football in Pittsburgh I would give that one to and he has done something many Georgia players in the past have done ,that Green has not, win. This kid came back for the Colorado game and they lost. All the ink and crying about how the NCAA had cheated Georgia of wins then he returns and plays the weakest team in division one college football and loses. The only reason Georgia put this team on its schedule is because they were a patsy and then they lose to them. Colorado was not even good enough for a homecoming game. Green was in the Florida game and they lost to the worse Florida team in a decade. I was at a party Sunday night and Georgia fans were calling this freshman quarterback the best that has ever come to Georgia. These drugs have got to stop. As your loyal ,in state, opponent ,hear me, there is no fear of Georgia by most teams they play anymore. As a two generation Tech family I can promise you that was not always the case, for those too young to remember. Georgia retired Dodd early when Dooley showed up. He could see the years of wondering for Tech. If these conditions had existed back then Dodd might have coached another 15 years. I really can’t remember a lower point at Georgia since Dooley, maybe someone can help me on this. But as a Tech fan I can tell you there has never been a time like this, I can remember, since Dooley got there I feel less afraid of Georgia. No player on a team like this one and a history like Georgia’s can be called great and if I were a pro scout I would not let this source of reporting be my only eyes and ears.

Another fine project from John Mccissic and the Summerville High School football program. And maybe the best player to come out of there. That says a lot from a school so rich in football history. Here’s something most of you may not know. When Aj played for the Greenwave, he would face rival Ft. Dorchester at least once a year if not twice in the playoffs. They had former Gator and now Bengal DE Carlos Dunlap on one end and Tarheal DE Robert Quinn on the other end, who is also projected to go early in the first round despite his not being able to play this season. It has been a good couple of years for Dorchester district 2. And Mccissic hasn’t retired yet he has now made his record almost impossible to beat. If you didn’t know, he’s the winningest football coach ever at any level. Good Luck Aj!

You can blame Mark Richt for AJ’s underachievement when he tanked the ‘09 season by playing Joe Cox rather any of our more talented (and younger) QBs. Another example of Richt’s poor management/loyalty-to-a-fault skills, and another reason why it’s past time for him to go. Maybe Richt can leave for the pros and AJ can stay another season.

Talent-wise he is an exceptional receiver and athlete. He should do well in the pros as long as he is able to be durable. It is a real shame that he did not have the supporting cast to have the impact that a player of his caliber could have had. The DAWGS have fallen on very hard times defensively. No more Junkyard DAWGS. Poor defense has undermined the team effort so that offensively games could have been won but the defense has given them away. Haven’t been able to stop anybody, especially the good teams. Barring a miracle, with the current “talent” so to speak and the defensive scheme it looks like another disaster in the making.

Bobo needs to stop the charade.

Just admit it, he wants to throw it 50 times a game.

Put 2 tight ends in the backfield (he’s already moved Figgins back there), let them passblock, and then wing it 50 times a game.

Then, if he can get a QB who can throw accurately in the 4th quarter, red zone, and on 3rd downs and against winning teams, like Lemay or Mett, then he’ll be ok.

Just stop runing the ball completely.

I just wish we could have seen what AJ could do for one complete season with a good QB. His freshmen year we barely used him to begin the season…sophomore year he had Cox throwing to him (he saved a lot of poorly thrown balls that season with some incredible catches)…junior season, he misses the first 4 games.

I can’t blame him for going pro if he will be a top 5 receiver, but I can still wish to see what numbers he could put up playing as our #1 WR for 12-13 games with Murray throwing to him. He has been the best player on the field in pretty much every game he has played – definitely a once in a generation player for UGA.

Got 2 porblems with AJ Green,

1- Character issues–sold a jersey, which meant nothing to him, for $1200, got suspended, cost the team the whole season. I hope his srtock drops because of that. like the OK St’s WR Dez Bryant’s did.

2- Lack of toughness- had injuries last 2 seasons, not durable, has never played in all 12 games. He’s got a small frame, he’ll get smashed at the next level.

Were you watching the game? Janoris Jenkins, when he was covering A.J. Green, never caught a single pass….not one. And Janoris played him one on one most of the day. His catches came when he was doubled by a safety and a LB (one of those times even ended up being an INT in overtime). Jenkins and Haden also shut down A.J. last year as well…with Haden returning one INT that was a game changer. Janoris will be a #1 pick in the NFL draft….and might go before A.J…..depends on the teams picking 1-10….and the need of the team. Jenkins will be a star in the NFL at CB….just like Haden this year for Cleveland. Both are that good.

Mr. Bradley- I have just blogged at Junkyard Dawg about the “In your face” media spin that OSU and Tressel have about their 5 players who committed the same transgression as AJ at the SAME TIME that AJ sold his jersey and how their “punishment” will be not playing in the first 5 games NEXT YEAR. The players can go to the NFL and Treesel has a long time to practice and replace them. If the punishment had been timely as with AJ they shouldn’t have played THIS YEAR.

The players were ineligible to play this year; therefore, they forfeit all games in which they played and which they knew that they were ineligible. They should be replaced in the Sugar Bowl by Boise State, the goat team that you media goatherders led out for sacrifice. There should be an instantaneous outcry against this perfidious public performance portayed and pushed upon all players.

Glib is not the word for their (OSU and players) words. By appearing at seasons end and after practices have been held and time has passed to ensure no one else could be substituted for the Sugar Bowl, we the fans of college football and member schools have been duped with the preknowledge possessed by the OSU players and their school.

If the media, conferences, schools, the players and the alumni and fans don’t scream to high heaven and intervene now we will never get another chance. OSU’s actions are so disingenuous with their timing that I don’t believe I’ve ever seen such calumny that we are headed for and portrayed on college football before. Talking about a school and team that think that they are above the rules!! This is an insult to all. They should be taken to task before this day is over!

How about a column from the AJC Sports Dept as a group? Do something for the sport that you proclaim you love. Mr College Football, Mr. SEC; you wanted to be known as such, how about quickly writing a column and tell us why OSU should not be punished RIGHT NOW! Put Boise State in the Sugar Bowl while everyone has time to practice. Don’t let OSU sit on this info all season and try to get away with playing ineligible players ALL YEAR AND FOR A BCS BOWL GAME!!

Unfortunately, I believe that you all are feckless, make bloviated claims about your love of the game and are thinking of all the reasons that you can cover yourselves instead of uncovering this abomination portended upon the future of NCAA rules. If they don’t apply to all then they apply to none.If OSU plays I will not blame any team for breaking rules that don’t apply to everyone in order to play in a BCS game , enjoy the approbation and later tell everyone that you cheated.

Good Luck to us all.

UGA greatest wide out was Terrence Edwards, who dropped a David Green easy pass in his hands, while in full stride, crossing the field and no one within 15 yds of him, going toward the Florida goal. Period. He made OTHER huge catches that helped Green on to becoming a historic NCAA winning QB. Edwards is one of the best in UGA history.

Another great tight end and still in the NFL was Randy McMichael. With UGA on the Florida 5 yd line he DROPPED two easy Eric Zeir balls in a row!!! It was raining but while i was in UGA in the late 60s, we stomped Florida like 56-10 in a bad, rain storm. You can catch the ball Randy, in the rain, just not that day.

AJ Green is UGA’s greatets wide out? No way …………….he made some nice catches but he only played about 2.2 complete years of 3 and with his clothing sale and the injuries here and there, he did NOTHING FOR UGA. NOTHING. He will be soon forgotten and even I would never urge him to skip the NFL for the Red & the Black. Who needs him anyway???

There will be others like Terrence Edwards and Brice Hunter ( RIP ) and Jimmy Orr and Leonard Pope and KRIS DURHAM, who was UGA’s BEST wide out in 2010.
