Tell you what Tampa. You can measure my knowledge in this year's and next year's NFL draft.

If we were to measure the accuracy of your falsehood, wouldn't we need to keep track of at least the next four drafts? :biggthumpup:

It is really neither here nor there because the fact of the matter is that you didn't "know" anything. You just think and say you do -- just a bunch of hot air, as usual...Mike
 
I have balls to make a strong opinion right or wrong. And I've taken the heat before and admitted when I've been wrong. You also don't see me parading around here when I've been rght about a lot of things either. There's nothing hot air about that. People just have a problem with the way I present my opinions because I come across as confident.

But Yes, you are right, I do THINK we have more talent than UGA right now. Do I know that... for me personally, yes. It is apparent.

That said i think UGA has more potential based on the pool of talent they have. Maybe the real question is what do you consider to be talent and how does UGA have more than us? If we are going by recruiting rankings that's one thing. If we are going by on field performances and years starting in the program, that is another.
 
One man's balls are another man's blow-hards.... Wait a minute, that didn't come out right. ;)

Actually, I agree with the statement if you change the word "know" to "think".

I was just pointing out that your word choice was fallacious, this is not an isolated incident, and much of the grief you get here is the result of it...Mike
 
I don't think I even understand your point BOR. ugag has more a more talented pool of players, but we have more talent? Is that what you said?

I think your point is the same as the person you're arguing with. ugag has higher rated players. Something that many, including you if I remember correctly, have lambasted Chan about over the years. But you are now saying that our players have more talent based on what they have done on the field. I get that, but is results the same as talent? Are we getting philosophical enough yet?
 
Let me spell it out NC. We are a better team than UGA. From the offense to the defense. There are positions that they have better talent than we do, but overall, WE have a better team. So our talent level at the starting positions is evident. That talent for our team are 3,4, and 5 year players that have been developed and had the opportunity to get a lot of reps in the college game.

UGA has better quality of athletes that have come into their program overall for the last few years, the last couple more specifically. Due to a variety of reasons, that talent has not developed more to surpass GT as far as quality of the product on the field. Some of those reasons may be playing time, turnover in depth, coaching, injuries, etc. etc.

Does that make sense or do I need to further validate my OPINIONS so you feel better that you've received a substantial answer?
 
1)Durant Brooks
2)Calvin Johnson
3)Four year starter at QB (Reggie Ball)
4)Blitzing Defense on a Freshman QB.

These 4 things are why we will stomp UGAy this weekend! Go Jackets!
 
Your last post made a great deal of sense, BOR. I agree completely, the football players at GT in 2006 are better players than those at UGA. This is in spite of the fact that they were not valued nearly as high at the time of their recruitment.

I have always believed GT's success depends more on our work ethic and team chemistry than our recruiting. We may not get as many 4 and 5 *s, but in college football the development of the player who enters as a freshman is not nearly as complete as in basketball. You can overcome lower recruiting ratings if your offseason program is excellent and the kids enjoy working together for success. I think Gailey and staff are realizing this more and more.

Now, with some more talented prospects coming in, we will still have the challenge of developing that talent.

I believe we will win Saturday, and it will not be an upset. This year, we have the better team.
 
I think the argument was about which team will have more players drafted in the nfl.
Unless that league has done away with the combine, georgia will more than likely have more players taken. Um probably will too.

Remember that georgia has been the proving ground for wasting excellent talent over the last 10 years.
We simply have better player development overall, and that is something to be very happy about.
 
Yeah, that makes sense. But, why the attitude? Isn't that kind of what I said I thought you meant?
 
Sorry dude. Its just that anytime I post my opinion, I get the same people who are trying to pick my arguement apart for no other reason other than it is my opinion. Same people, same crap. You don't like or agree what I'm saying, don't read it. I cannot help it if I'm right.
 
Also, its UGA week, which means I'm already testy as it is.

I want this game bad!
 
You don't know what you're talking about! :) I'm testy too and want this game. I just want to see a couple series of downs where our qb isn't backing up too much and we look like the same team we've generally been the whole season. Then I'll be fine.
 
Just looking for adjustments--we know UGAG will try to counter our defensive speed with mis-direction runs and short screens. They use their TE a lot on quick passes. On D , I'm sure that they're convinced that they can stop our running game--I for one am convinced that they cant .If we can get a semblence of a run game , our WR's could have a field day. Their FG guy is still out ? We'll need Bell to hit an early 35-40 yd FG to quell any doubts. Cant do any thing about the UGAG luck --its always lurking behind those hedges.

I also have a feeling the Dawgs are working hard to win the game on special teams ala punt returns and kickoff returns, a known weakness for us and a known strength for them. I bet they are working hard on the punt block to try to pressure Brooks into quicker kicks giving Mikey H a chance to run them back.
 
Who had more "talent" in basketball in the 2004 olympics, the US National team, or the gold and silver medal winners?

I don't think that is anywhere close to a comparison between our team and UGAs. Parity in college football is greater than you think. In basketball you can have all world ability at 18. It doesn't matter if you are filled out or not. In football, at the age of 18 your body isn't nearly as developed as it is at 24. We have more talent than UGA right now based on our starters. They've grown in our program better than their UGA counterparts, many of which have been sitting on the bench.
