Indian, do you really think this staff will make a play for Newton? After the Lamaison disaster I dont see them wasting another scholly on a JUCO QB. |

The '94 Georgia game was actually Helton's best game as a QB, IIRC. Yeah sure, Stewart (James, not Branndon) rushing for 250 yards probably helped...but still. I think he threw for like 150 yards in that game or something (including a 50 or 60 yard prayer-on-a-rope TD pass). Helton would have been a very good QB had he the interest in doing so, but he made the right call focusing on BBall. PS: Volgr, I think if we can get Newton, we take him. At least assuming we dont get a Scroggins or someone else to flip, anyway. The fact that Lamaison may be a liability makes that more likely, in fact, rather than less. Besides, we have scholarships to waste for the next year or two. |

Kiffin said he would never waste a scholly. Now whether Newton would be considered a waste is relative. I just do not see where Newton will have any more of a chance to come in and learn the system any better than Bray would. I think we could flip Brunetti if we had to and I'd rather go that route than adding Newton....I just dont like JUCO QB's I guess is my main concern because they rarely work out. |

I'd rather have another freshman QB, too. now that said, as far as wasting a scholarship is concerned...dude, any warm breathing body is worth a scholarship at QB at this point. Hell, I'd give GSVol's old goofy ass a 'ship if he could throw the ball 20 feet...it would be an improvement rather than a waste.. |

It's possible, but IMO only if they can't turn a guy like a Brunetti, and if Lamaison will stick around or not. I do think they want another QB. I don't think Newton is the answer though. I can see a scenario where Lamaison leaves, and they have to take Newton. |
