Samuel is by far the fastest of the backs and is bigger than Herschel by about 15 pounds. He is still learning, but he and Caleb King will both be very productive.

Anybody should go pro if they are projected to go in the first round unless they have insurance. I don’t think Moreno has anything to gain by continuing to play in college and he risks injury. Stafford would benefit from another year, but if he is a top 5 pick the finances are compelling.

Cox is a very good quarterback and Logan Gray has lots of talent. Everybody says both he and Murray will be great.

Reshad Jones needs another year. He has not looked good this year. Asher Allen needs to see where he is projected, but he looks to me like he would benefit from staying.

Caleb King and Richard Samuel will split carries next year, Joe Cox will be the main guy at QB until Aaron fully recovers from his injury. The defensive start will be Jeff Owens returning back from injury replacing the vacant tackle spot soon to be left by Geno Atkins.

I don’t think anyone on the D should go. After this year, they will have alot to prove next year. The only one I see going,or leaning hard is Rashad Jones. I don’t thnk he will, but… On offense, Moreno should. Look what he has done with a mediocre OL the past 2 years. One thing we know, UGA will never have an expierenced OL. Stafford should stay, he still has work to do. Don’t know if he will. I personally believe any QB would benefit from 4 years, and in some cases five.

JaxDawg is 100% correct and I was going to put that in this article too. SALARY CAP and RB life expectancy in Pro Football is around 3.7 YEARS. MORENO IS OUT OF HERE! You can’t blame him either good luck! Stafford is a little tougher. He will be a top 10 pick and the first QB and that will be this year and next year. Bottom line: Signing BONUS this YEAR VS SALRY CAP?? I think he is gone BUT I HOPE HE STAYS!

Are you kidding me…Rashad Jones? He has been terrible…he showed promise early but he cannot tackle and has been horrible in coverage…so far he is a bust. I have not idea who in the right mind would draft him in any round but I hope he does go early. Asher Allen needs another year but has been pretty good considering our pass rush is terrible. I think Stafford and Moreno are gone and I don’t blame them…too much money to give up and too much risk to come back. Samuel and King will step in nicely but they are not yet in the same class as Moreno. I really don’t see any drop off at QB with Cox or Logan…if Logan develops in the off season he may be an upgrade…I love Stafford but as some one who has seen every game he is the most overrated college QB I have ever seen. He is good but not great by any measure. His completion % is below average…his touchdown to INT ratio is average and his accuracy on deep balls is terrible. I hope Stafford becomes a hall of fame QB in the NFL with his rocket arm but as far as on the field production in college I just don’t see it. Whether it is Toby Jackson or someone else we must find some disruptive DE’s and safeties that can play. The offense should be very good with an improved O line but we need BIG improvements in D and special teams if we are going to compete with the Gaytors.

I’m hoping all of the dogs that are considering leaving are disappointed enough in the way the season went to want to stay for another chance to earn an SEC championship.

The line should be very deep and exxperienced next year with eveyone back from injuries. So many lineman got quality playing time that we should be 2-deep with esperienced starters at every position on the line. That will solve most of the weaknesses exposed this year.

Stafford and Moreno especially should want another chance to prove they can compete. I realize some of the players considering leaving are just ready to get out of the classroom and earn a big paycheck, but others are true bulldogs and want another crack at the NC.

Sure, Alabama and Florida will both be very good next year, Alabama should be even better. But the Dawgs have a great team that will not graduate many key players and should be in great shape to compete against the Tide and Gators.

Here’s hoping team pride will prevail over fear of injury. There’s nothing wrong with a 2-loss season, but that brass ring keeps getting closer. Let’s grab it, Dawgs!

Reshad Jones has looked horrible this year. A physical speciman, yes, but he’s gotten burned for big plays. I can’t believe he’s even being mentioned as a draft consideration, I would think he’d have to work hard just to keep his job at UGA. And he too often looks frustrated with his fellow DBs. The defense as a whole is a mess this year.

I think Stafford goes and Moreno comes back. Stafford has too much to lose. I cringe everytime I see him take a hit. I am a huge Moreno fan but I still don’t think he’ll be quite the NFL draft prize that most seem to assume. He’s small and not extraordinarily fast. I bet they tell him he’s a 2nd rounder at best and he comes back for ‘09 to improve his stock. Just my two cents.

31-0 at the half?!!

Funny - this is like asking who is the next best star at Michigan State!!!!

With overall losing records in head to head competition against Alabama, Auburn, LSU and Tennessee. UGA is the Michigan State of the SEC.

Without miracles by Stafford and Green - Dogs would have lost to So. Carolina, Kentucky and Auburn and would be sitting at 6-5. Talk about overated!!!!

Next year - the whining will be at a fevers pitch and I predict major shakeups in the future on Ugas staff.

Predicted Losses in 2009: OK State, So. Carolina, LSU, Florida, Auburn, and GT.

In fact, GT will probably win this year.

UGA will be battling for 2nd and 3rd place in the SEC EAST. Florida looks to be dominant for years to come - and believe me, BAMA will be in for a huge fight as this program is scary good. Vols will get their act together and So Carolina appears to be on par with Uga - and probably a little better at this point in the season

I am sure you will say - “Well Bama Stan, what has Alabama done lately?”

31-0 at the half BABY - 31-0 at THE HALF!!!

Yes, we have been paying for Mike DuBose’s sins for the last several years - but we are now back amongst the nations elite - where BAMA has belonged for the majority of our history. And yes - even before the Bear!!!

The sleeping giant has awakened.

Stafford and Moreno have already had the chance to prove they can compete. They can’t.

Stafford is the most overrated QB in the country, probably in the last 25 years.

Gun for an arm.

Frequently inaccurate.

I would take most SEC and almost all Big 12 QBs over Stafford. He’s been outplayed by the likes of John Parker Wilson and even Auburn’s unknown QB. Yikes.

Moreno should have been Herschel’s successor. However, Herschel carried the ball 30-40 times per game and only took himself out if he had a severed appendage. Moreno removes himself every other play when he starts to pant mildly. Yikes.

I for one really hope that both Stafford and Moreno stay but it is more likely that only Stafford will stay since he said from the beginning he wants 4 years of college and RB’s dont last as long in the NFL so Knowshon will probably leave so he can get payed while hes playing great. But if they do both leave then RB should be open competition for the starting spot most likely either Caleb King or Richard Samuel being the next starting RB and do not forget about Washaun Ealey he is a recruit that is showing a lot of promise and could make a huge impact just as Knowshon did back in 2007. As far as QB goes i think that should also be open competiton but just as Stafford was a true freshman starter i think the guy that takes over for him should either be Aaron Murray or Zach Mettenberger. The future looks bright for Georgia but i for one still hope that Matthew and Knowshon do come back for 1 more year and get us that SEC title and possibly that National title!!!!

Clearly Stafford and Moreno will have to ‘follow their dreams’…whatever they may be. I’d like to think that winning big at Georgia is foremost in their minds now - the SEC East, the SEC, BCS Championship, player of the year, Heisman, whatever.

Then again they may prefer to get on with the rest of their lives - there is life after College, after all - and decide to go sooner rather than later. Hope not, sure do want to enjoy their play and rejoice in their success for as long as they’re eligible.

By the way, maybe this is a good time to bring up my long-time proposal that the NCAA should amend their rules about eligibility and allow any player - regardless if they’ve played professionally - once they reach the age of 40, and if they have any college eligibility remaining, can return to school and complete said eligibility. Hershel could play right now…and break the all-time rushing record for all-time.

By Bench Reshad

November 19, 2008 9:48 AM | Link to this

To suggest that Reshad Jones is going to be drafted is completely rediculous. What NFL team wants a safety that doesn’t even know how to play a cover 2 in college? I don’t know if I was the only person that noticed that on Auburn’s 52 yrd touchdown we were in a cover 2 look and the corner blitzed. Jones should have rotated down into coverage but went toward the middle leaving the whole right side of the field with no defenders. Not to mention his shoulder bump “tackle” and his boneheaded personal foul. The guy is clearly a moron and I hope he does leave to spare us watching him blow coverages next season.

As far as Moreno and Stafford, Stafford is gone. Why would he wait a year to go up against Colt McCoy, Chase Daniel, Sam Bradford? I think the wild card for Moreno is whether his grandmother really wants him to garduate (see Geno Atkins). Other than that, I would say he is gone too.

I believe the most likely to leave will be Moreno. He really doesn’t have anything left to prove. Stafford apparently spent some time with the Mannings this past off-season, both Peyton and Eli stayed their senior year, and it’s pretty easy to tell that this has paid big dividends for them in the NFL. My guess is Stafford stays as he has improved every year and with a more solid line next year and the studs we have coming back at WR, he should solidify his #1 draft position next year. Asher is very good, but would benefit from another year. If Reshad Jones leaves it wouldn’t hurt us a lot because he has been awful. He needs another year, at least to try and become even half the safety that Greg Blue was, and Blue is not currently making waves in the pros. As for the next QB, if Stafford stays, then Joe Cox will graduate as a backup, but mark my words, he will show up somewhere on someone’s roster, even if it’s the CFL. Joe will grade well in tryouts. I am looking forward to the Aaron Murray, Zach Mettenberger, Logan Gray competition at QB. Richard Samuel will start when Moreno leaves and he, Caleb and Dontavious will do quite well behind a more solid line. Ramble On!! It’s nice to see you on here. It didn’t take long for you to throw in your 2 cents…you can leave now, but don’t forget your change…

CHIP: Is it just me, or do the tea leaves say pretty clearly that the coaching staff does not see Logan Gray as ever being THE guy? I don’t care what kind of an athlete he is and how badly he wants to get on the field, IF the coaches considered him as a candidate to be THE guy and a multi-year starter at QB, NO WAY they would ever have him playing on kickoff coverage, fielding punts, serving as personal punt protector, etc. I know Tereshenski did it, but he kind of ended up backing into the QB job and was never considered a prospect to be a multi-year starter. I think of Shockley—he had similar athletic ability, and probably could’ve been a heckuva receiver. We never put him there because he was too valuable as a QB and we knew he’d have at least one year as a starter—so, no way we were going to risk getting him hurt. Agree that the writing on the wall says that it’ll be someone other than Gray in the long run?

By AltamahaDawg

November 19, 2008 10:11 AM | Link to this

JaxDawg, my understanding is that is a Long Way from being a reality still. Actually there already is a rookie salary cap. The debate is over what constitutes a rookie contract. Its more likely that the end result will be some combination of caps and how contracts are structured. Stafford will still command millions over his carreer. I don’t think he is too concerned about that. The multiyear rookie contract turning flop might be less likely. Rightfully so.

Stafford stays because Mannings tell him so. Moreno? Harder to say. Would still be the first sophomore RB in the history of the world to go pro early and succeed. Not sure he is that guy.

I dont think either of them are weighing it on “who” else is out there. Who is Stafford worried about? Who’s jumping his spot if he were a senior in the darft vs this year.

Atkins and Owens in the middle. Like it!Even this year that would have been a huge plus to our DEs. Houston has played better lately. DE are hard to predict. I’m sure we have the skill in the wings.

Logan Gray brings a different dimension to the QB position other than what Stafford does ( Pure Pro Type offense). He’s quick as a cat and throws OK. That said, CMR is not big on change. If he forces Logan Gray into this offense , he will fail. If he will spread it out, come up with some new plays, and let Logan be Logan, great things will happen. Frankly, I don’t see it. Same old stale offense that’s great moving down the field. But, we go dumb in the RED ZONE.

30-10 in the 2nd Half?!!

BAMA STAN, just keep quoting that half time stat. UGA can do that too 30 to 10 in the 2nd half. Since every team Bama’s played this year has out played bama in the second half(I too can make absurd statements), UGA’s 30 to 10, doesn’t look that bad now, neither does the final score 41-30. Everyone said Bama was playing 2nd and 3rd teamers in the second half, I guess they’ve been doing that all season in the 2nd half, since this has been par(absured once again) all season.

BAMA may once again be relevant after 15 yrs, they will never be dominant again in the SEC. NO ONE WILL. The level of competition is to high and every year there’s gonna be battle just to finish with 9 - 10 wins.

Has anyone got a meaner spirit than Ben Jones? Leading Moreno into the end zone on a 34 Yard TD screen pass, are you kidding me? Kid’s got heart, desire, and ability. He will be a “Leader”. His mentality and ability is what we need at DE.

Although I would like to see Stafford and Moreno both stay, I’m afraid that they are both gone to play on Sundays. If the NFL calls for a rookie salary cap starting in 2010, it’s a done deal they’re gone. I will say this, I certainly won’t miss Stafford’s deep ball consistently flying over our receivers’. Will Bobo please coach him to put a little more loft on the ball? This is one of Joe Cox’s strongsuits - coupled with the fact that he will be a 5th year senior next year which is essentially like having another coach on the field. He knows the offense and has good pocket presence. Cox will be the quarterback while Murray/Mettenberger get a redshirt year under their belt. King and Samuel will play a dual RB back role. Who knows, Cox could pull the next Tee Martin and win a national championship after a much heralded QB leaves.

Yeah, Bama Stan somehow only mentions the halftime score. Ironic really. Also, he as long as the other haters who are predicting doom and gloom have seemed to ignore the fact that we have put together top 10 recruiting classes every year since Richt’s arrival, so there is still plenty of talent. But keep on haters. Show us your lack of knowledge. And to the Tech guy who says that Reggie Ball and Chan Gailey who have been our best players, I would throw Calvin Johnson into the mix as well. He never really seemed to show up when we stomped you guys, either (look at his stats in those games). and to the other Tech guy who says they like their chances as long as CMR, Stafford, and Moreno are there, how did that combo work out for you last year sunshine(or the last 7 years with Richt there)?

Seriously, though, I think Stafford and Moreno would be the only two that could possibly go (and a very good chance they might. If that’s the case, I would look for Joe Cox to be the starter at QB with Logan Gray playing in somewhat of a two QB system. At rb, I would look for Samuel, King, and Ealey to split carries. This will give our offense a look similar to the Green/Shockley days where we won 2 SEC titles in 4 years and had 4 straight 10 win seasons and finished in the top 10 all 4 years as well.

I like Joe Cox too. I would certainly start him over Stafford. He has the complelling quality of “accuracy.”

We lost to Alabama, so I don’t know why anyone would be proud of a 30-10 second-half score.

The difference between our coach and Alabama’s is that our coach rationalizes all our mistakes and is content justifying mediocrity. Alabama’s coach is upset with a 41-30 road win over a #2 ranked team. He demands excellence.

Just correct you… since you don’t know. Logan Gray is a heck of an atlete and they do see him as a potential starter, thats why they are trying to get him on the field for game experience. Logan Gray will be the starter if Stafford goes pro. Cox can’t even throw a 15 yd out without two hopping it. Good IQ of the game but doesn’t have the tools. And for your correction D.J.

Anybody remember Maurice Clarrett? I think Stafford is back for sure. He doesn’t have to worry about competing with anybody for QB spot in the draft next year. He just needs to get a little more fine tuning done before jumping to the next level. He has the horses coming back to do it next year too. Plus the healthy O-line (we hope). Moreno could greatly increase his stock if he stayed. Top ten pick not a second rounder if he goes this year. Just my thoughts.

Not one of the flashy recruits but Ben Jones has certainly proved to be worth his scholarship and more. Here’s a kid who was discovered at a football camp, and I believe UGA got him because someone was at the right place at the right time. If he stays healthy then UGA should get three more good years out of him. I bet he ends up in the NFL and I seem to recall that centers in the NFL can last for a while.

Jerry Dawg,

Seriously, ignorance shows in your comments. Chan and Reggie, clearly sucked against the Pugs. However, last I checked a WR doesn’t call the plays or take the direct snap from center, does he? No, the play calling sucked for Calvin (throw it up for grabs down the sideline, every time) or the QB couldn’t get him the ball (i.e. Reggie Ball was horrible). You’ll get no disagreement from many, but to say Calvin didn’t do much, he’s a WR chief and the two aforementioned were the cause of his “stats” in some big games. I can’t believe it still bothers some of you that he shunned the 29-time pre-season national champions to go to another school. The win streak should be enough for you.

RAMBLEON! ONV Johnstone can’t even sell out the stadium for a National TV audience for a Thursday night against division rival Miami. Can’t you guys give away pizza and sodas to boost the attendance? Pathetic. I do admire your loyalty to the program. At least you have no shame running smack on here after 7 years (soon to be 8 years) of posting the L to us. ONV Johansson will be embarrassed to be standing on your sideline Nov. 29th. We can start running the smack now since we are off this week. You should be smacking against the Hurricanes. That’s one team you guys can beat.

7 of the 11 starters on defense are upperclassmen. We’re not that young on our defense. We miss J. Owens like nothing else, but we’re not young on that side of the ball.

Offensively, we’re young at everything but QB & WR. It shows as the main guys have had very good seasons statistically.

If someone wants to play at Georgia b/c that is truly where their heart is, by all means, come back next season. But if the NFL is your #1 priority, go ahead and move on and I wish you nothing but success. It would be awesome to see what Stafford and Moreno could do behind a healthy, deep OL like we could have next season. And the depth on the DL will be there as well. Our secondary needs to improve but if the DL play is better, it takes some of the pressure off of them.

A lot of the guys on the OL right now keep talking about Richard Samuel and how good he is and is going to be. That’s promising even if 24 is back to have that one - two combo available. Seeing Carlton Thomas as a return specialist would be interesting (gives us something similar to Brandon James at UF). Having Curran and Gamble as starters next season at the LB position is awesome. Let’s just pray that the guys all stay healthy!!!!!!

UGA and Top 10 recruits for the last several years?

2008 - losses to Vandy, KY, TN and So. Carolina.

2009: Blow out losses to BAMA and Gators. Miracles against So. Carolina, KY and Auburn.

2010: Predicted losses against OK State, So. Carolina, LSU. Gators (annual tail kicking - will be another blow out), Auburn and 50/50 against Tech…..I can hear the excuses now: but it’s ok, it’s a rebuilding year cause Staffy and Moron-o are gone!!**

To the comment “NO SEC teams will dominate” - yeah right - LSU has done a good job - and now Bama and Gators are set to domintate for several years.

Dogs has their glory a few years ago - and just missed out of National Title opportunity. Now the Dogs are back to their historical MICHIGAN STATE status in the SEC!!!!

Reading some of the posts from the GT fans, it makes me realize why I actually cheer for their team when they are not playing UGA and why I dislike their arrogant (why?), looking down their noses (why?), pompous fans so much. They are such “elitists” they still think we care that Calvin Johnson didn’t come to UGA. I’ll bet we care a lot less about that than Calvin Johnson does. He could have had so much more of a rewarding college career had he come to UGA. I know he’s a millionaire now, but that’s gotta be eating at him. Oh well, I do hope the Jackets’ team beats Miami. There was a respectful Miami fan on their blog last night (I go over there if I am having trouble falling asleep) asking if anyone thought he/she would have any trouble getting tickets for the game…I almost laughed out loud. Is there EVER a problem getting tickets for the their games as Bubba Dudd Stadium? Even on a game as important as this one, they are about 8,000 shy of a sellout. They only have 55,000 seats. I know downtown Atlanta traffic can be brutal, but geez…go support your team already.

Thought about it some more and Stafford is gone after this year for sure. No way in hell he passes up the chance to play for the Detroit Lions. Goes #1, then gets to spend a year with Culpepper learning how to limp off the field into oblivion. Plus he would be a government employee by the time all this rolls around. Part of Ford’s bailout package would include Staff’s salary and bonus bucks. Federal healthcare benefits can’t be beat.

2008 were the losses to Bama and Fla, not 2009 (2009 has not been played yet, genius)

Never was there a year when we lost to Vandy, Ky, So Car, and Tenn all in the same year in the Mark Richt era. Again another ill informed comment on your part.

And your predictions for the 2010 season could have some validity if we played Okie St that year. (Again, that’s 2009)

I hope they all return, but I know money talks and ** walks. Logan Gray seems to have a chip on his shoulder when he is on the field, even if it’s only for returns. I like the mocksy he plays with on the field and you cant question his toughness returning kicks. I havent seen him throw a football, but I am sure he can get around in the pocket. Joe Cox, great acurracy and experience but I am not sure about his ability to read coverages. What this says to me is that Logan Gray will beat out Joe and Aaron Murray will b e the next big time guy at Ga, he will beat out Logan the next year, at least I hope! At running back, i wasnt impressed with Caleb King. He cant block, and it almost seems as if he dosent run as hard. I like the Ealy kid from the small school. This kid is fast and strong. From what I hear Dontavious is working hard this season with the practice squad and remember this guy was a highly recruited back in the state of Georgia. I think Mark will go with a three headed monster aproach at running back with Caleb, Richard, and Dontavious. Suprisingly I think Dontavious will win the job out right. the offensive line should be a strength next year with the return of the MASH unit. If both D tackles return and Toby emerge like people expect him to Houston at the other end will finally give Georgia some hope at the d line positions. Allen will be back I hope Rashad leaves and I hope number 11 leaves. Let the youngsters play at those positions to see what they can do. Of course we need to new coaches at defense and special teams, and then we will see if we will be in a position to compete for a league title.

Mo Ron, I mean Mo Dawg, what the hell does stadium size have to do with anything? Seriously, are you that damn worried about how many seats Tech holds or fills, and does it mean anything in the grand scheme of things? Seriously, your team has beaten Tech 7 straight years. There, I said it for you, the only thing that matters. What is the worry with how many seats Tech fills up? You’ve seen the corners of Sanford not full though…..if you’ve actually been to a game there. See that’s the other point of irrelevance that must be pulled out of an a$$ when you puggies bring up stadium size (I personally think you’re trying to overcompensate for other things about you that are small). You’ve got a bunch of bandwagon fans. Another few a$$-whippins to the Gators and especially Bama (although it will take it having to come in the SEC title the next six years due to scheduling - and that’s a long shot considering you ARE Florida’s b*** or will lose to a Tennessee AGAIN like last year) and some of these rednecks that only got through high school or some other podunk college in the state will start looking elsewhere for their “#1 team.” Trust me, the Bama fans have come out of the woodwork. You’re the state school. Enjoy your filled stadiums, and pre-season dreams. If you think about it, why hasn’t Georgia won more championships in football over the years with all the “support” they get in Sanford stadium? Seriously, you really want to get into a debate about stadium size? Who Really Gives a Damn. Be happy with wins, because that much can’t be disputed. Your other comments however make you look like a damn fool.

Samuel has shown more than King at this point. Don’t know anything about the others at RB. NOBODY on the defense should leave.

‘06 6-7 Losses to Miss. St. and, of course Auburn.

‘05 10-2 (yay, you’re reaching the “middle of the road, Michigan State” like UGA!) Loss to, of course Auburn.

‘04 6-6 Loss to, who else…Auburn.

‘03 4-9 Bad losses to No. Ill., and, again to, Auburn.

‘02 10-3, there’s that “middle of the road, Michigan State” status again. Oh, you lost to Auburn this year, too.

‘01 7-5 Hey, that year was the last time you actually beat Auburn.

I didn’t even mention the record against “middle of the road, Michigan State-like” UGA…(hint, it wasn’t a good record for you.) Instead of living in the 31-0 at halftime past, why don’t you look ahead and prepare for the team that has owned you for the past few years and for the team that might own you in the dome.

DJ Our stadium is bigger than Tech’s. That may translate to other things, I don’t know, but I do know the women at UGA are a lot hotter than at Tech…so I guess it might translate to other things. I guess, if you had been to very many games at Sanford Stadium, you’d know we reserve the upper corners for the other teams’ fans. You must have been when we played GT and your fans didn’t use your allotment of tickets (big surprise)! That’s why the corners were empty. 92,746 seats filled every week, versus 55,000 seats 85% full, for a national game of extreme importance to your team tells me all I need to know (already knew, really). The only time Bubba Dudd sells out is when UGA rolls into town for your annual lesson on big boy football. If Tech wins this year, I will be back to accept a heaping helping of crow, believe me. Will you be “man enough” if Tech loses?

When did Stafford become a running back? Why do we run the ball on 2nd & 12 inside the red zone? Bone head play calling. This is the worst defense in the history of UGA football. I don’t blame Stafford and company bolting to the NFL. This team has no desire with exception of a few. How many times have we heard the few on North ave say what they are going to do to the dawgs for the past 7 years? Remember this is a school that really supports it team and the only division 1 team to downsize it’s stadium inorder to make the stands look full. This is great fan support. Sorry bama, you will get your tails waxed by UF. You don’t have a QB that can close the deal as proven the past 3 years.

I’d say that either might stay even if predicted first round, becasue staying would NOT lesson thier stock. History has shown (actually studied and proven) that staying one more year leads to larger earnings over an NFL career. as for QB, he stays becasue he has a lot to learn. Do you go make millions and learn during a lonely and dismal first year, just trying to catch up to where you should have been before getting there, Or learn while enjoying the last year of college and show up more ready and thus closer to being ready to start somewhere. Oh yea, and make same millions. Why leave being a year behind as good as he can be in college, and a year behind where he should be to start his NFL career. Name every top NFL QB (pro style) right now. Now who on that list got an early jump?

I wonder if what the other does, will be a factor in each decision?

Look around, hasn’t won you the “big” trophy has it? No.

Since the last UGA NC championship, who has won a title? A sampling: BYU (not a large stadium, but awesome views), Tech (we’ve addressed the size of that stadium, which is big enough to hold a national championship banner within the last 20 years), Colorado (neat endzone with no seats on one end, must deduct points by your scoring system), Alabama, Miami (check out there stands cha cha, hasn’t impacted the fact that they still dominated college football for a time - you do understand they’re also a small urban based school, sorry to confuse you with facts), Nebraska (you should be happy, always sold out), Florida (ha, they beat you consistently with just half a crowd), USC, Texas, LSU, Florida again (double ha). There have been more that have won a title since Sanford Stadium, I mean the mighty Univ. of Georgia. Not to worry, you’ll be ranked highly again pre-season 2009, but sadly we’ll be talking about your stadium size at this point in the season because those national title hopes will have crashed.

If Stafford or Moreno leave then they leave. They’re good players, but contary to popular belief we can play flat uninspired football/get blown out by Florida and Alabama without them.

Personally I’m tired of focusing on the offense. We need more studs on defense. Yeah Willie sucks and that’s part of the problem, but we just don’t have the talent on that side of the ball. A bad defense puts too much pressure on the offense to try and outscore the opposition instead of letting the game come to them.

Running backs have such short life spans, KM needs to move on, not much else he can prove, go get your money.

Stafford, is a little tougher, if the rules are going to change after this NFL draft and he could get less money you have to go. He makes all the throws. Leadership wise, managing a game, reading defense could all use some work. Best of luck to him if he leaves, to me, given the offensive line issues throughout his career he has actually exceeded my expectations and without him UGA would have probably been a 500 team during his three years.

Future stars, obviously AJ, question is if Stafford does leave, can Cox or Logan consistently get him the ball.

King to this point is a bust. Samuel could definatly move the chains.

Reshard Jones has been a disappointment to this point as well as have Asher and Prince.

If Stafford leaves, I would like to probably see Logan at qb, I think his legs would help a lot while he learns to read offense. The dual threat qb helps everyone.

Selfishly, I would love Stafford to stay, I think a senior Stafford, a seasoned offensive line with TS back, and an easier schedule and a FL team probably breaking in a new qb and that might be team to seriously challenge for a NC.

Without Stafford and KM next year, I think your 7-5, 8-4.

Hey Bama Stan,

Relax and take it easy on the dawg fans. Why are you hating so much on the dawgs? They aren’t even a historical rival of ours. Our big rivals are Auburn, then Tenn., and then LSU to a lesser degree. Most Bama fans pull for UGA in the east over UF and TENN so why do you dislike them so much? Just let it go.

We’re having a great season, our recruiting will make us a force to be reckoned with for years to come, the probation is over and we’re almost back to full strength, and best of all we only lose 9 seniors out of 85 so the future is looking really bright.

Aint no doubt about it. If matt and knowsho go pro this program definitely takes a downward spiral. The defense is bad enough and with 2 of the top playmakers on offense in the country gone the dawgs quickly slip to a 7-5 team. UGA loses to the usual suspects like UF, LSU, BAMA, and all those games where the dawgs slipped by because of Matt and Knowshow. Games like LSU, kentucky, auburn, s. carolina, we would have lost those close games without knowshow and matt helping to put up a lot of points or put up key tds in crunch time. Any rational dawg fan on here has to admit that. And what’s even worse is that Auburn and Tenn will rebound. Its a dang good thing we caught them in a down year. The future suddenly looks a little bleak.

Might have to throw on the Georgia gear and head over to FORD/Federal Gov’t Field to take in a subsidized NFL game. I think they will be serving free cheese at the tailgate party.

Everyone keeps asking the question, “if you were going to be chosen in the top 5 of the draft, why wouldn’t you leave early”. For a running back, that is a good question. If you have natural talent and athleticism, a quality running back can prove himself and eventually earn a starting position, even if there are ‘setbacks’ and ‘boneheaded mistakes’ over the first year or two. Keep in mind that Patrick Pass had a pretty good NFL career, even though he was terrible at UGA (I know, he didn’t come out early… I just wanted to make a point about the ability of rbacks to endure in the NFL). However, quarterbacks are a different story. Both Manning brothers came back for their senior seasons… why? Peyton was projected as the #1 after pick his junior year… not just a top 5 pick. The reason is simple. At quarterback, there is NO substitute for playing experience. If you do not end up getting the full commitment of a starting job early on, you sit and watch. It is very hard to eventually break into the starting lineup if you have been watching from the sideline for several years. The Mannings went for longevity and long-term money over short term payout. Stafford will do the same. Ask yourself this, has any quarterback come out early and lasted long in the NFL?

You crack me up bro! Yeah it’s a good thing you were up 31-0 too because me thinks you might have been a bit worried in the second half with your boys getting outscored 30-11. You must be relieved not to be playing the Dawgs in title game. Frankly, even with our porous defense and your great big nose guard, I don’t think you could beat us again ole boy! But that’s ok you’re about to get taken to the woodshed when you play the gators. As much as I hate to admit it Florida is head and shoulders above the rest of the SEC this year.

Cox & Gray can easily step in behind Stafford, especially behind a veteran line next year.

Reggie, you forgot to tell them that happened 4 years ago, not 2. 2 years ago was when we were ranked 15th in the country and lost to a Georgia team who had a true freshman qb making his 6th collegiate start and the UGA fans gave you that derisive cheer after throwing that late interception to seal the game. And let me be clear on something, I did not tell you to the throw the ball out of bounds that game. I told you to do what you I always told you, and that was look Calvin right in the eye so everyone in the stadium knows who the ball is going to and throw it to him anyway.

I think Stafford will stay. Having AJ to throw to for another year will be a deciding factor. In his time at UGA he hasn’t had the kind of hands to throw to like Greene has. If he has aspirations for a heisman or setting more records then 2009 should set up to be a great year.

Cuz started out this year with the slogan of “earn it”. They didn’t do it. UGA players have, as a team, got to focus on commitment to ever compete for a NC.

That means on and off the field. Sacrificing some parties, drinking, and making a real commitment to pay the price. They need some folks to stand up as leaders and get some control over their team-mates. They have to want it bad enough that it becomes their single focus, and nothing gets in the way of it.

I haven’t seen that level of commitment… a lot of talent, but not enough hunger for being a Champion, the Best. I know that CMR has tried to get that out of his players, but until they truly buy into it, as individuals and as a team, this is as good as it will get. And its not “heart”… They have plenty of heart, it is one one the most insulting things that Chip or anyone else could say about them, to suggest otherwise. But heart won’t get it done by itself. Talent won’t get it done alone either. They have to have pride in themselves and trust in their leaders, then commit their heart, talent, and focus to the goal. Pay the price for it daily, sacrifice for it, then play every down like the whole world depends on it.

Bear Bryant said- “If you believe in yourself and have dedication and pride- and never quit, you’ll be a winner. The price of victory is high… But so are the rewards.”

WE have players, although I don’t believe you can put a talented inexperienced guy in at QB and not miss a beat, Cox has mop-up duty experience, but not heat of the game experience. Samuel has looked good lately when given the chance.

THe big question is do we have enough on defence. Where will we find a pass rush? Where do find some shut down corners who can cover without holding? Will they play with a chip on their shoulder? Can “bend but try not to break” be efficient against the likes of Bama and FLA.

BS,

Speaking of ignorant coments, sure, Chan Gailey and Reggie Ball were the only reasons we have won 7 straight. It had nothing to do with the fact our players we have consistently had top 10 recruiting classes compared to the ones you had in that time period usually rank around 40th. Right!! I must be a moron to think the overall talent level has nothing to do with the streak. I’m sure with a better coach and qb the 51-7 game and the 34-17 game would have been much different. Right!!!! And I’m sure those consistently poor numbers Calvin had against UGA was solely due to Chan and Reggie and had nothing to do with the defense, because Calvin never had great numbers against anyone else either. Sure keep telling yourself that. You may actually believe it, although no one else will.

I love how the bama fans like to talk down the dawgs when we had their number for many years until this year.

as to the comparison between who has the most wins against SEC opponents, coach richt has narrowed the gap significantly since he has been at uga we have a good lead over florida tech,carolina,kentucky and vandy. georgia is very close to taking the lead on auburn,lsu and tennessee.

as far as next year,we should have the depth at the all inportant postions of defensive and offensive line,we will have playmakers with great receivers,qbs,running back and linebackers.

we need help at defensive backs,defensive line, special teams and kicking .

theywill probably loss stafford and knowshon, but gray and cox will be super especially since gray is a great runner with a very good arm.

theyhave many good running backs,but we need someone to step up and be the horse.

overall, dawgs will be fine with a better schedule replacing alabama with arkansas.

These blogs, generally, are a waste of all of our time. Sometimes I can’t believe that I pay as much attention to this crap as I do.

So, in light of that, here’s my waste-of-time post:

Alabama’s good, Bama Stan. I’ll give you that. Saban’s done perhaps his best coaching job ever this season, because he doesn’t have the talent he had at LSU during his MNC year there.

Still, it doesn’t matter when you’ve got to go through the best team in America just to get to the national title game. And Florida’s the best team in America, without a doubt. Your Tide will lose that game by two TDs or more.

Sorry, Bama Stan. Nobody cares if you’re in second place. Trust me on this one—we were second in the country last season, but that didn’t get us jack. You’ll be just one more team with a good record.

Also, for you gloom-and-doom types, remember that each team is different. Georgia closed well last season, and ended 11-2. Georgia’s not as dominant this season, but may still end at 11-2. The team is VERY young. Will Georgia be terrible next year if Moreno and Stafford leave? Only time will tell, but my guess is that they will not. Team chemistry, injuries, scheduling, etc. all play a role in the outcome of a season. Was Bama expected to be this good after a 6-6 record last year? And Florida’s defense was a sieve last season (a 9-4 year). What a difference this year!

I suspect things in Athens will be fine for years to come.

I suspect the defense will look a good bit better in the next few weeks. Just a hunch.

I suspect that people base their opinions way too much on the moment, and not on the big picture.

But that’s just my opinion.

Getting Impatient,

Apparently logic escapes you. No doubt Gray is a great athlete, but the events to-date suggest that he hasnt exactly been tabbed the next great thing at QB. Just consider this: how many great, athletic college quarterbacks can you name me that have played punt protector? How about that have played on the kickoff team? How about returned punts? You might be thinking for a while….You don’t get promising QBs “game experience” by putting them in on special teams. If they thought he was going to be our QB of the future, he would’ve spent this season with a headset on, standing on the sideline. As for Shockley, there’s a difference in being “moved” to a position and getting put in at another position for a package or 2. Shockley certainly would’ve done the latter if called upon (while still remaining a QB primarily), but there’s no way coaches put their QB of the future in harm’s way like that. It may give your brain a cramp, but, if you think about it, it makes a little sense.

THE MAN Greene a.k.a the winningest QB in D-1 history is a “flop”?? DJ Shockley, the one year he started took us to the SEC Championship, another flop?? Stafford isn’t finished yet and has a QB rating of 149.03 this year, and he’s a flop??

I think THE MAN is the ignorant and arrogant one in this discussion…

First of all, Stafford is the most hyped and most overate QB in the past 5-10 years. He cant make an acurate pass, which is vital at the next level, ie Vick and Ryan. He cant read a pass defense and as long as he is at UGA, the bulldogs will be overated and will NOT win an SEC or NC.

Moreno is a good back at the college level. He has great balance and vision, but sub-par speed and always seemes to take himself out after every other run; also look up his stats in big games after his FLA game from last season, nothing.

If i was a UGA fan i would want Staff and Moreno to go pro. Stafford is highly touted but will do exactly what hes done UGA, be overhyped wih all the ability in the world but fail do to his uncoachablity. Moreno always shows up against Vandy or C. Mich but when it comes to make a big time play, sorry hes tired or cant find the whole he wanted.

UGA fans shouldnt worry about those two, they are decent at the college level but not good enough to even win a SEC C. Stafford is a sellout whos gona take that big arm straight to that first big paycheck after the season; Know-show is an inspiration to all RB’s, right after he gets up from his usual spectacular 3 yard carry.

Samuels is a player, king cant get a C on sleeping class, and cox is another Joe T 111, Murray is severially hurt, and nobody else has QB expierience. Start looking for somebody, start at the head spot, Richt’s assistant cant coach!

Calvin=Paul Oliver’s Female Dog….that’s a fact. I could say if Georgia had a veteran offensive line we could run the ball better which would open up the pass so AJ would have more yards but we don’t. So stick to this there you silly bee AJ is better than Paul Oliver’s female dog and that’s the FACTS.

Here they are…THE FACTS Calvin Johnson’s freshman stats…48 catches for 837 yards and seven touchdowns AJ Green’s freshman stats with 2 games to go 51 catches for 887 with 7 touchdowns

“That awesome #1 pick in the SUPPLEMENTAL draft” held Calvin Johnson to his lowest production in college. No one is disputing how good he could have been if he had a QB of ANY talent throwing him the ball in college. Hence, my statement that the only people probably lamenting his decision to go to GT instead of UGA is Calvin Johnson and you.

Since you want to talk officiating, did you also see the several times the refs failed to call Auburn for pass interfernce when it was much more blatantly obvious than the non call at the end of the game? Of course, you didn’t. Homer goggles and hater goggles don’t allow you to see things like that.

Regarding whether Moreno and/or Stafford will go pro, Moreno will go. Stafford depends on the Tech game. If the dawgs win, he has a good chance to go, if the dawgs lose, he will stay and try to rebuild his game and image next year. Regarding this year, I did not believe at the outset that UGA was #1 and I did not delude myself that was in any shape or form possible. As the games came and went, it was obvious to any right minded person the dawgs had SERIOUS defects and these have been well documented. What confounds me is that virtually no progress has been made in addressing the dawgs shortcomings. I can thus conclude that 9-2 is “good enough” for the coaching staff(THO NOT FOR MOST FANS) and the various team shortcomings will continue to be tolerated. IF, AND MARK THIS DOWN, UGA CONTINUES IN ITS BAD HABITS AND LOSES THE TECH GAME, ALL HECK WILL BREAK LOOSE AND CONTINUE THRU THE OFFSEASON. No amount of lip service will assuage the fans, and then, if no strong action is taken, dawg fans will howl long and hard, and they should. So, CMR and your buds, “BETTER GER ER DONE NEXT WEEK” or you guys will have some second thoughts for a long, long, time.

How many of you think C. King will transfer and play for a division II school next year? Maybe even Valdosta State or Fort Valley State…both supply players to the NFL.

I hope Stafford stays, a senior year is inportant to a QB. For example, Ryan stayed for his senior year while Russell and Young left early. I ask You, who has had the most impact in the NFL? BTW Stafford haters, his stats for his JR year are better than Ryan’s as a senior. I hope Moreno stays, but he has the most to gain by leaving. Teams are not as quick to use high draft choices for RBs nowdays, and there is the salary cap issue. Also, RBs are more likely to be injured. Judging by his parents neighborhood, Staff is not hurting for money. I don’t think Allen or Jones are NFL ready, and Owens may drop a few places after sitting out with his knee. Moreno is the only player with a lot to gain by leaving early, IMHO.

*SORRY JUST GETTING BACK TO Y’ALL TODAY. Had to go downtown to Marietta Street for meetings and training today and had to rush back to make Georgia’s practice. I’m still waiting for it to end now so I can get some interviews… *

SVEN OTTKE: Actually Sven, I did look at the those two plays you mentioned. The first one that went against Georgia that resulted in a Bulldogs a first down and almost gave Tommy Tuberville a heart attack I have no idea about. The CSS TV replay had no shot of it whatsoever. But just based on TT’s reaction I’d have to say they blew that one. On the no-call on Georgia’s Remarcus Brown, I’m going to have to agree with the officials on that one. There was easily as much contact initiated by the receiver on that play. Basically the refs were just letting the teams play at that point… .I’ll tell you what I DID see that surprised me the most. The play on which Prince Miller tackled Tristan Davis for a loss was blown dead WAY too early. Miller knocked the ball loose on initial contact but Davis was able to hang onto it with one hand up against his thigh pad. Then Georgia reinforcements arrived and knocked the ball loose, which Jeremy Lomax recovered in the end zone. If refs keep the play alive a half-second longer, that’s a UGA defensive TD right there.

And for the hat trick of stupidity, he says that UGA will not rate a Capital One birth when in realty, our SEC record and overall record are better than everyone else in the SEC save Fla and Bama who should be going to BCS bowls.

Here is the deal. Moreno and Stafford are gone. Done deal. Stafford can get his 4th year of expeience as a Rookie in the NFL. There he will finally learn to throw the deep ball. If Asher Allen sees his stock rise into the second round he is gone. I know Jeff Owens and Reshad Jones will come back. As far as replacing Moreno, King and Samuel will not be able to hold off Washaun Ealy. He is the best running back recruit commit I have seen since Rodney Hampton. Cox will get the early nod at QB but Murrey will take the job much like Eric Zier did over Greg Talley. Bank on it.

Cox may make a good QB if Stafford goes, urray will have to recover from his broken leg, I don’t see him starting if he misses spring practice. I am really anxious to see Grey at QB. Chip, I agree that a quick whistle cost the UGA D a touchdown in the AU game. I don’t know why some say Stafford can’t complete the deep ball, on deep passes most of the responsability is on the WR to beat his man and go get the ball. Put him with a NFL WR with 4.4 or less speed and many of those overthrows will be caught. When a QB goes deep he is throwing to an area of the field, since the ball is in the air before the WR reaches the spot. If the reciever is bumped off his route or delayed at the line you will have an imcompletetion. Stafford actualy leads the SEC in completions over 20 yds.

I didn’t suggest that you had a leave of your senses, I suggested that you had none to begin with. And if you were truly aware of current bowl affiliations you would not have your bowl predictions the way they were. But way to back track. And if you had any reading comprehension skills, you would notice that I was not bragging about being third best in the SEC, but merely pointing out the falacies of your argument.

I think it is obvious that you have a biased hate toward UGA when you fail to give any informaion to support your ignorant rants. So you got a score right, this year? Whoo!! Did you correctly predict last year’s score? I somehow doubt it. But you’re obviously Nostradamus, right? Ha ha. You can make some lopsided prediction every year and your bound to be right once.

The QB & RB positions at UGA are in fine hands if Stafford and Moreno leave. Joe Cox would be starting for 10 of the 12 teams in the SEC (less Stafford and Tebow). The kids a winner. He was 31-0 at Independence High in Charlotte and his stats were freakish.

Asher Allen will not go pro. He has not had a very good season and would be a mid-late round pick at best.

Rashad Jones would be a late round pick, if that. Great supporting the run but needs to develop his skills in the open field.

Jeff Owens — depends on how his rehab goes and his projected draft status.

Rookie Salary Cap — Until the NFL Collective Bargaining Agreement is changed, it’s not set in stone. The NFLPA will have a lot to say about it but be prepared for a lot of lobbying on behalf of the rookies by agents.

I think Stafford and Moreno will both be back.Stafford still has technical things to work on.. look at Matt Ryan-a guy who played all 4 years and was ready to come in as a rookie and compete at QB.In the history of the NFL most QB’s that come out early without a redshirt don’t pan out.That’s a fact.As for Moreno-he COULD be an Emmit smith type of back..ie not that fast but productive-but Smith put up bigger numbers in college and Knowshon hasn’t really shown an ability to catch the ball out of the backfield much which I think goes a long way to overlooking the lack of home run speed and big time rushing numbers in college.Allen has been stout actually at CB this year I don’t know WHAT games you guys have been watching!I don’t see him going pro though to be a late 2 or even 3rd pick.Jones has yet to live up to his billing as a premier safety.Owens is doubtful to be drafted in the 1st 3 rds coming off an injury.So I wouldn’t be all that shocked if nobody left early.As for the future I kind of agree with Delores IF Gray was that guy why would he be returning punts?Makes you wonder if CMR already knows Stafford is coming back.The King/Samuel thing…I don’t know…King looks smoother to me…Samuel runs too upright like he’s not that comfortable running the ball.Personally I think he should have redshirted

Some of you that have posted these comments are such fair weather fans. In college a new group of guys comes in every four years, programs move on. Georgia has been a top ten program almost every year since Richt has been a coach. I will admit that the team, specifically the defense, has lost its intensity. There really is no reason for Stafford or Moreno to stay. Stafford is a top 5 pick and Moreno has nothing more to prove at the college level. Most RB’s in the NFL don’t last until there 30, so he should go. Some you need to be proud to be a bulldog.

I think Stafford is that rare college guy who has some understanding of how fun it is to live on a college campus and to play the college game (like Matt Leinart). The only reason he might leave early is fear of injury. Some guys risk getting their flaws exposed by staying an extra year (e.g. Rex Grossman), but I think Stafford has confidence that he would play well as a senior.

To the guy way above, Don’t EVER put Matthew “nobrain” Stafford in the same sentence as Peyton Manning, one of the smartest and hardest working qbs of our generation. No, THE smartest and hardest working qb. It’s a disgrace that you would even mention them together, take of the red tinted glasses you moron, Stafford ain’t that good.

Kidding Me, Don’t ever put an a***** like Playton in the same sentance with Stafford. The only Manning football player in the NFL today is Eli. At least he was smart enough to go to Ole Miss and avoid Hillbilly U. How many national championships did Playton win? How many times did he beat the Gators? The Colts managed to get some All- Stars and get him a superbowl ring, but where is he now without all the free agents? Back to the cellar, loser! What a wuzzy! Playton Womaning is the most overrated QB since Chris Chandler. If You want to talk football oplayers that work hard, talk about Tee Martin. He actually did SOMETHING in college! Stafford is twice the man cry baby Womaning ever will be!

Taumarice Nigel Martin actually did something. Right. He took $7,000 at Quick Trips within 2 weeks of the tainted, then, National Championship, as payoff.

Then for 4 years denied he did amid the invesigation.

Then, talking in the 3rd person said, that was a different Tee Martin who took all that money when he was with the vols, and I would NEVER take that money now.

Stafford is a good qb. However, he is consistently 2-3 yds to deep on passes over 30 yds. This is his achilles heel. Who knows how many points we left on the field because he has overthrown someone. He can pick you apart on crossing routes and slants; and he throws one of the best, if not THE best 8-10 yd out route. The kid flat out has a cannon. But, if he doesn’t get the deep ball down, NFL defenses are going to chew him up and spit him out. To compare him to Peyton Manning is a bit premature.

Poor Ramble On… he has nothing better to do than to be in the Georgia blog day after day. What’s wrong? No other nerds in the Tech blog?

Actually Bama Stan, what I was going to say was 1) why are you on a UGA blog, and 2) didn’t UGA put 30 points on you in one quarter? If Alabama is so talented, how on earth did that happen? How did LSU almost beat you? Interesting you didn’t comment on those things… but not shocking.

Yes, wreckmaniac… I can see why you’d want us to keep Stafford, Moreno, and Richt… you nerds have a great record against them… 0-3… Aren’t you Tech geeks supposed to be smart?!?!?!

Chip,

The AJC needs to bring back the paysite to blog. Ever since this has gone free it has become full of degenerate bloggers. Something needs to be done.

Stafford and NOSHOW will be back. Neither one of these guys are Round 1 material.

We are preparing for a whiteout here tonight. Lake effect snow coming in. About a foot in some areas.

Thing is if Stafford doesn’t go this year he won’t be able to play for Detroit.

Staff will transfer to Texas where he can learn to play QB and become a serious NFL prospect. That assumes he can grow another 6 inches.

Are you going to be in Bobby Dodd stadium or up in Michigan? The Nerds are supposed to “White Out” their high school stadium tonight. I bet there are more people at individual HS playoff games tomorrow night than at Boddy Dodd tonight!

I hope they all stay. They will never get these times back and money only brings temporary satisfaction. Go to the NFL and you might not ever hear from them again, happens to big name players every year. However, you can’t play w/ the fear of getting hurt so if that’s the case move on and let some of the younger hungrier guys come in. I love to watch Moreno play he’s the most dynamic player UGA has had in a really long time. Stafford would only get better with another season. I hope they all stay.

It never pays to worry about all of the bad things that could happen in the future. The immediate issue is Georgia-Georgia Tech. This is definitely the most exciting and significant state championship match in a long time. Georgia Tech already has a successful season- beating Georgia would make it a triumphant one and set the tone for the future. Georgia losing would be the defining moment in a failed season, no matter what happens in the second tier bowl game we’ll play. It would also set the tone for the future and not the tone one wants to be hearing: Pppphhhhhhttttt! So, one more time it’s do or die for the Dawgs. What more could the fans want? But, I can’t resist joining in the speculation about next year; here it is. I predict that Stafford and Moreno both come back so that they have a chance to redeem the team for this season (not that it has been as bad as some of us believe). Prediction 2- the key guys stay healthy and we do what people hoped we’d do this year….and I don’t have to tell you what that is. Take that, Urbie! Hey, anything is possible!
