Official Don’t Burn Pyron’s Shirt Petition

I don’t want to blow his redshirt in the UGA game. That seems like total nonsense.

The only scenario is we win the next 2 so we can go to a bowl. Then it is a tough call.

I hope Pyron starts against Miami.

Lol, stupid statement. It’s about preserving a year of eligibility for what loops like a a special player. I’m not sure how a totally logical long-term decision is wussing out. Also, we’d play Sims who is more than capable to hold it down in that game. This year’s Tech team isn’t beating this year’s UGA team. I’d rather have Pyron in the game in 2026 than 2022.

Absolutely no good head coach will want to come under an AD that inserted himself into the management of redshirts. To even suggest such is asinine.

Wrong. A good coach will want to come when he knows he is inheriting a QB who has shown potential and has 4 years of eligibility. And a good coach will want come when he sees an AD committed to the program who doesn’t let an interim coach poison the program 4 years after he’s fired. Key is not the head coach. He is the interim coach. Big difference. You don’t let the interim coach make decisions that will affect the future of the program.

And all this talk about throwing everything at UGA is just funny. Kirby can name the score of that game whether Pyron plays or not. They are at a level of football that we can’t even comprehend after watching our team play for 4 years. It took us 3 turnovers against a horrible team to win by a point.

We burned Nesbitt's redshirt for a handful of wildcat plays. That was poor planning and I agree with you.

Yea, I don't get it. We are here to win now. We should try to win the rest of our games. All the games next season and so on. We should NEVER not put our best personnel on the field against UGAg. If it is Sims, play him. If it is Pyron, play him.

This is bizarre. Surrendering to UGAg already.

That is a different situation. If he were starting, I'd have been all for buring his redshirt

Different world now. If Pyron turns out to be real, real good, he will be in the NFL before year 5. If he turns out to be real good, he might be at Auburn or Alabama before year 5.
 
You use the best personnel you have every time you hit the field. Plan to your best ability. Plan and play to win. Not starting your best hope is a great way to lose your team and fanbase and even turn the team in on itself.

Anyway Tech luck is hold him out and he gets a compound leg fracture next season week 1 and he is gone.

No future guarantees mean you play for today. You people are too smart sometimes.
 
We want Pyron to be better than a player who is enticed to stay five years. I hope the pros are drooling over him after year three. If Sims is healthy and wants to play, fine. But, the time for accepting losses needs to be over. If Pyron is our best chance to beat the U, UNC and UGA - then he plays.

This but unironically. We should go balls to the wall against the ACC teams we can compete against but there is no reason for a GT-UGA game this year. Do we really need to see them sleepwalk to a 38-0 win?

Not playing to win is "wussing out." There is no way to spin it that doesn't bring you right back to that conclusion.

A good coach will bring in his own QB through the portal or recruiting. No matter how good Pyron is the rest of this year, there's no guaranteeing he plays 4 more years (or even 3 after his redshirt is burned). What is guaranteed is you set a precedence by having the AD step in and micro manage the roster. THAT is something you can't overcome.

I don’t think Pyron makes us better than Sims. I just think the dropoff isn’t as significant as it is from Sims to Gibson. He’s done very well and I like him a lot. Playing Sims wouldn’t be forfeiting…

You can say that but the players aren't idiots. Everyone would know what was happening, especially since Pyron has shown to be quite good with his legs himself.

I don’t think the players think Pyron is better than Sims right now. Maybe they do. I think they’re excited for him and for winning. I think they know we could be 5-4 at least if he was given his shot against UVA. But I doubt they would prefer him to Sims unless Sims is a giant douche.

Nesbitt played in 11 games and helped us win a few (UNC for sure). Ran for 350 yards. That’s a really bad example of a wasted redshirt.

Playing our center for 1 snap in his fifth game last year would be a better example.
 
andrew said:
If Pyron starts and plays well for the next two games, I'm not sure how you could ask anyone to suit up for the U[sic]GA game after saying you are holding him out since you know you're going to lose anyway. Sounds like a good way to lose the locker room and destroy any progress we've made in terms of building a winning culture in one fell swoop.

Pyron still needs someone teaching him how to protect himself. He is not a small dude but the way he is taking the hits could be coached better. I am all for taking on defenders when the first down is on the line but you can position yourself better.

Why do you not mention that Key is head coach? I would agree with you if we had a head coach. We do not. We have an interim coach. You are talking as if Key’s control of the program is compromised if the AD gives him an order. Key is not the head football coach. GT does not have a head football coach. GT has an interim coach. There is zero precedence to be set in these circumstances. The next coach will be very happy to come in with at least one QB who has shown something on tape.
 
Some of you talking about Pyron getting drafted just don’t understand statistics. There were 9 QB’s drafted in 2022. 10 in 2021. There are a lot of guys who are good college QB’s who never get drafted. Of course, Pyron could get drafted but the chance of that is very low. But the chance that we could use him in 2026 more than in 2022 is about 100%.
