Is Sirmon the Guy? 240 Days to Michigan

He's going to look good in Maize and Blue.

I like Michigan in this tilt.

But it is awfully warm for September 5th

Chinned for "tilt"

Maybe getting an OC before spring ball could help?

Get Newman or Costello. If Sirmon or Morris beats them out, that’s great. They won’t, but it would mean they are better than we (I?) thought.

Did anyone watch wake this year? Newman isn’t that good.

Nobody watches Wake Forest. It’s the idea of him. I did check his stats. It creates competition. I have seen Costello tho and always thought he was pretty good.

Guys who started for their previous P5 teams are not going to transfer somewhere to be part of the "QB competition" for their last shot at impressing pro scouts. Kirby's not telling this kid "hey, come to Georgia and see if you can beat out the other guys." He's telling him, "we need a qb for one year and we pick you".

We could go this route but have to be sure that Sirmon is not the guy because he'll bolt as soon as that level of transfer comes in.

At Georgia there really shouldn't be any competition, unless Mathis has improved by leaps and bounds in his redshirt year. Other than him, I think incoming Freshman Beck is the only other QB they have on a scholarship right now.

So, an honest question about Sirmon: Why is everyone here so low on him? Besides the very little bit of game action we saw from him last year, I haven't really seen or read much about him one way or the other outside of his recruiting profile, which makes him sound very promising.
I'm just curious if there's something that i've missed that's making so many folks here think he isn't the guy for the job.

A couple of guys here watched him in HS and didn't think he was very good. There havent been many good reports from practice about him. He was behind Haener.

I think hes the guy though. Maybe it's just wishful thinking.

The reports of him from practice is certainly concerning, although personally I haven't seen any of those, but it would explain a lot. I'm really not too too worried about the fact that he was behind Haener though. For whatever reason, the staff seemed to have a real hard on for Haener. Even though is was blatantly obvious right from the get go last year that Eason was going to be the guy, they still waited until late in the spring to officially name Eason as the starter, which I feel was a major error on their part.

Bring Newman in and if he’s not better than Sirmon he sits. You get Sirmon to stay by saying he has a shot this year and next year when he’s a R-Jr. There could also be the chance that they don’t really give a fuck if Sirmon stays or leaves.
