If Dabo had listened to us earlier & started Watson

We would be 3-0 right now. You see what happens when he gets arrogant and tries to convince us all that he and his staff know betta.

You're probably right and my tongue is planted firmly in cheek. But we all knew how this scenario was going to play out.
Was the "Cole gives us the best chance" to win song and dance really necessary? And did it ultimately hurt the team?

I think the staff knew DW was special.. .but I also wouldn't

be surprised if:
1. Cole played better than the staff expected in the first half at UGA.
2. DW played better than the staff thought he would in that environment in Tally.
Not saying that's the case, but it was a delicate situation, especially with a true freshmen.

I just felt like Watson starting was inevitable and that the coaches lecturing the fans charade was unnecessary. Not just saying "Cole gives us the best chance to win" but in insisting on there not being a controversy at the QB position.
As a fan, I just don't like be talked to like I'm a 5th grader who doesn't know any better when it's basically a bald face lie.
It's possible the coaches had no idea that Watson would ever start and just decided to do so on Saturday but for some reason I don't believe that.

Very likely, I should have made my point clearer in that we all got a big lecture last week about supporting Cole and DW was named the starter next week before Sunday morning.

question that the press asks by revealing exactly and in detail what goes into each decision they make. Sometimes it is better to obfuscate and I don't have a problem with it.

I don't think we would won at UGA, but Watson would't have made the same low throw to the TE that cost Clemson 7 points. That one play would have beaten FSU.

Dabo was worried about the teams psyche/chemistry. Wonder how the teams psyche is now at 1-2? Reality is that Dabo could lose 36 straight games and would not be fired due to the contract Radokovich gave him.
He has one meaningful game left on his schedule this year.
BTW no more negative comments on Dabo, Munson will be relaying them to Dabo and you will hear shortly how we are unworthy to be fans of his team if we question anything he does.

no question watson should've started, but i can't say we'd..

be 3-0.
i think it can be "debated" that had he had a full/half game at UGA and full SC state game he could have been better off @ FSU, BUT that's all VERY debatable and can't be predicted.
i do think watson hits leggett in the chest and not the shoe laces in the endzone though.
either way i now believe dabo has the best players in the lineup and should be ok until the SC game.

Watson looked really good in that last series at uga after they began to apply pressure. He was cool laying on his back!

He looked pretty cool in the game Saturday too in that he didn't miss any gimme TD throws that could have potentially been the difference.
Nice try, though. All the DW supporters were right and all the ones busting balls last week for wanting him to start were wrong.
Hope I've made that clear.

LOL, I don't think I would listen to the fans if I was the coach. But you're right he succumbed to the pressure and pulled Stoudt in favor of Watson. A no-lose situation for him if you ask me. I still think he and the coaches made some dumbfounded play calling in the game.
