Who's in and who's out at QB.

The AJC had one of those quick hitter columns today about the quarterback situation at UGA. I always love these things. To me it looks like somebody came up with an excuse to get to go to Athens for the day on the company, and these little articles are what they turn in to justify the trip and the beer tab.

While short this one made me think. The short summary basically says who is going to transfer at the end of the year. Being a graduate of the class of '99 I was there for the Donnan years and the terrible fall out that happened when Donnan named Quincy Carter the QB over the guys who were already there. Within a year our deep talent pool at qb was reduced to nothing as all 3 back ups transferred out.

Any Dawg fans remember this classic?

Of course no Dawg fan needs reminding of how that whole story went. I still have nightmares about that 5 interception game vs the Gamecocks. While I don't think Stafford will be the next Quincy Carter, its easy to see a similar scenario unfolding. Anyone who watched the G-Day game this past spring knows that there was Stafford and then there were the rest of the qbs. Terreshinski will get his chance and will be the starter on opening day. How long he remains the starter is up to him. As soon as he slips up the Matthew Stafford era will begin. The problem with that is what about Blake Barnes and Joe Cox? Sure you have Joe T and Stafford for next year, but the following year the last thing I want to see is Stafford and a walk on or a true freshman as his back up. From the comments made in the AJC article though it sounds like Barnes has excepted that he's just a back up and is ok with that role. Cox on the other hand probably already has his transfer papers filled out. Not that I could blame either guy for transfering. They were both high ranked big recruits, especially Cox, and could easily go somewhere else and start. Lets just hope the cubbard isn't left comeplety bare next fall.
