Could the 2020 Dawgs be a throwback to the era of quarterback tandems?

Leaning the other way is NFL blogger Rob Paul, who tweeted: "Georgia now has a fun QB battle w/ Jamie Newman vs. JT Daniels. Todd Monken has two potential NFL passers on his hands. Newman has all the physical tools and huge upside in the run game. Daniels is a more mechanically clean and accurate passer. Personally, I'd take Newman."

But, I agree with UGA football historian Patrick Garbin, who believes "UGA's greatest quarterback tandem ever" is Matt Robinson and Ray Goff, who alternated behind center in 1975-76.

Still, two experienced quarterbacks is a rarity we should enjoy while we have it. Contingencies always are a good thing.
