I saw a glimpse of something in a video earlier this week but to alleviate any risk of porsting, I kept it to myself. I think so too though.

Easy for you to say on a message board. Be a coach, who earns millions, and see if you’re as adventurous risking the season like that.

And lack of pocket presence.
That’s what doomed him. Zero feel for the pocket, while at the same time, unable to escape the pocket.

Listen, man.... I completely understand where you’re coming from. When I say “live,” I think it would be important for the coaches to instruct the defense that if you have a free shot on the QBs, you shouldn’t be pile driving them into the ground or hitting them full force. They should feel a little bit of heat, but it shouldn’t be open season.

Kaaya was solid but he looked like Tom Brady in drills. When the pressure came, he wilted like flower.

Ain’t that the truth. Fans are always in a hurry to take risks, as their livelihoods at Panera Bread aren’t on the line if we fck around and get a couple QBs separate their shoulders.

I remember vs fsu on the road with no running game or defense the guy put the team on his back and brought them back to take the lead late in the 4th. Of course the defense let fsu drive down the field and score to win the game.
Yes he did come up short in a lot of moments but he rose up in some too but didn't have the support around him.

I mean when folden was here there wasn't many clutch oppurtunities. They would either win in a blow out or lose in one. And more times than not they were losing.

He stunk it up in the second halves of a bunch of games. Someone quoted his second half stats a couple years ago, and they were bad. But I’m not gonna rag the kid. He was OK.

He was one time 4th and 5 and absolutely dropped one in there to Coley, now if only the kicked wasn't blocked!

He won’t need a drone. He’ll speak cryptically to make it seem like he was there in person.

Yep. He was that one time. So was Kirby Freeman that one time against FSU.

Kaaya was a very good passer, and he is under appreciated by our fans. Richt and crew should have left the kid in shotgun and let him do his thing. Play to his stengths.
Inside, Richt goes and destroys the guy’s confidence and forces him to adapt to his 5-7 step drop back QB mantra. That simply wasn’t Kaaya.
Another Richt ‘my way or the highway’ casualty. Separately, isn’t it so refreshing to go through an off-season and not have to hold your breath worried if 1/3 of the roster would be suspended?
Back to Kaaya — Good kid and could have had a very successful career at UM under Enos.

My comment regarding Kaaya wasn't to say that he sucked. If you've been here a while, I defended him a ton. It was that he looked like the greatest QB ever in 7 on 7 but was never near that great in actual game situations. His pure passing ability was as good as anyone we've ever had but as mentioned prior, his pocket awareness was horrible. You don't have to be fast but if you're slow, you better be able to move in the pocket to avoid the rush. He couldn't. If he didn't have a perfect pocket, he'd panic and take bad sacks or make bad throws. For all his passing ability, he only went over 60% one year and that was 2016 under Richt.

just as important as the quick passing game is gonna be how quickly the qbs are going through reads. that's why you shouldnt listen to any media & their opinions based on watch 15 minutes of passes vs air or 1v1s. you can throw a pretty ball but if you can't make the quick decisions & go through progressions 11v11 & red zone when windows get tighter, then "he throws the best ball" is worthless.
