Stafford’s first start
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
My friend Jack, who’s not a Georgia grad or even a Georgia fan, came by my desk yesterday to tell me his reaction on viewing the Dawgs game on TV last week.
After watching young Matthew Stafford and his howitzer arm for a few plays, Jack told his wife, “This kid could turn me into a fan.”
Yeah, Stafford’s career is just beginning and he’s got a lot to learn. But already names like Favre and Ellway are being mentioned by non-Georgia observers when they’re asked who Stafford reminds them of.
Saturday brings Stafford’s first start at QB for the Dawgs. Even though the game itself may not be that great (Georgia rarely brings its A-game to these lower profile nonconference affairs), that alone has me excited.
Watching this kid grow and get better is going to be really fun.
