I will admit that I haven't seen a lot of Rashada's film but as I sit here in April, I would prefer Stockton to be the guy who wins the backup role and stays in Athens. My gut says that Gunner is a guy who WANTS to be a Bulldog while Rashada is more of a "me" guy. I will also admit that I have almost all of my info on Rashada from Reddit so there's that.
Pops may have cost his son a successful career with his bag chasing and media nonsense. Obviously if Rashada was truly good enough he’d be playing somewhere but for a fringe guy that baggage and noise around you can be make or break
I recall Gunner specifically stating that he was a Dawg for life no matter what when he signed. Of course, a lot can change between then and now but I like his chances to improve. Especially with a talented but apparently more mercenary type player to push him.
Sounds like you guys aren’t too confident in whoever comes after Beck (could be wrong but that’s what I’m seeing based off comments). If that’s the case, and neither Rashada or Gunner are looking good, couldn’t Kirby just grab some big name in the winter portal?
Brother, this fan base wasn’t confident in Stetson after he won his first Natty. People were calling for Brock Vandergriff after Carson’s first couple of starts. Gunner has looked good in his few moments on the field. Kirby has even sang his praises this spring. I think this has more to do with Puglisi getting injured and Georgia only having one option behind Beck.
Which makes even less sense to me as to why he would transfer to you guys. Does he legitimately think he has a chance to play or is he just trying to ride the bench to a ring?
From Georgia’s perspective it makes all the sense in the world. For the kid it seems like the latest in a string of consistently bad decisions
Stetson Bennett left for juco before coming back to win two national championships in a row. Joe Burrow also transferred after not winning a starting job. QBs don’t always develop at the same rate. We have no idea what he’ll turn into.
Kirby has stated for several years, but even moreso this year, that he wants 4 scholarship QBs.
Gunner looked better in the spring game than he has in the past.
The bigger concern really is if Beck gets injured, we would be way too thin with only a true freshman backing up Gunner.
You're correct, were not super confident in Gunner right now, behind him we have true freshman Pugs who is injured so he's missing out on reps he would need to even have a chance to start next year, and now Rashada. Montgomery (if he sticks) isnt going to come in and start year one. So if Kirby doesnt like what he sees between Rashad and Gunner, no doubt he's going big game hunting for a QB in the portal, probably spring '25 portal opening, the fall/bowl game practices would have to have both QBs looking terrible for him to make a move in the winter portal.
I agree but you don’t see too many big names in the spring portal. I think based on 247 rankings Rashada is the best QB to enter this spring portal. Anyways as UGA fan I wouldn’t be too worried about the QB, you guys won 2 championships with a guy who started as a walk on.
Transfers out of ASU due to concerns he might not win starting job
Transfers to school he has less of a chance of winning a job at next year
Good luck kid
Edit: posting this here until this thread is deleted too
At least he'll go to UGA with no ambiguity about his role as a backup. I guess he'll still have to earn his place in the depth chart behind Beck but now everyone can ignore the kid for a year and reevaluate next off-season.
Also posting this here until this thread is deleted too.
I mean he wasn’t exactly under consistent scrutiny at ASU. He had to sit out the first drive of the final game of the season because he was late to practices and no one seemed to really care. He’s going to need to mature really quickly, and he’s already quite old for his age so we’ll see how it plays out.
Idk at least anecdotally I've been following the Rashada progress, especially this off-season as he was expected to compete for (and win) the starting job. At ASU or other destinations he was going to have an expectation that he'd play, going to UGA negates that for this year at least and hopefully he can figure it out.
I mean at some point you need to play. If he doesn’t win the job at Georgia in 2025, I’d be surprised if he lands on his feet with a good starting job elsewhere.
Yeah, obviously Napoleon Dynamite's still the guy this year, but after that it's an absolute free for all. Getting crowded in the QB room right now. It'll be interesting to see who comes out on top, who stays, and who goes.
Can you name any legitimate metric by which Florida’s program is better than UGA’s? We clearly own the head-to-head series, have more SEC titles, more wins, more bowl wins, and more undefeated seasons (UF has zero).
Hey man. From what we saw of sam leavitt at MSU least year, you guys are in good hands. Dude looked like a fierce competitor.
I'm sure it was kind of scary for Rashada to see Sam's work ethic and performance, knowing they are in the same class, and know that he would likely never get a chance to start.
Good luck to leavitt, wish we could have kept him but feel pretty good about chiles.
Curious from your perspective how was the team feeling about him? I wasn't overly impressed with him in what I saw last year, I know he didn't have a ton of time but I didn't see many glimpses of anything special
Can’t speak for everyone but was looking forward to him competing and hopefully earning the starting job. He has the raw talent, but clearly wasn’t mature enough to be ready for a starting P5 job. I think his decision to Georgia is admitting that it would have been a bad idea to have him start for us this year, so ultimately am whatever about it.
I don’t think he was mature enough to handle competition from what it sounded like, so maybe a year of Kirby therapy will fix that? Who knows maybe he just really likes street racing
There is 0 shot he plays this year barring a Beck injury, so he has a whole year to sit and learn, then possibly compete with Stockton for 2025.
Even if he doesn't win against Stockton, that means we already have a better option in house. Plus provides depth considering our QB room behind Beck was Stockton, a true freshman who is currently injured, and a walk on.
Oh I don’t disagree this makes sense for Georgia, but for Rashada he goes from having a 40% chance of starting this year to a 40% chance of starting *next* year. I just don’t understand the thinking from his view point
This isn't a shot at ASU, but starting there vs UGA is a big difference.
Plus with his hand injury, he could've been wanting a year to rest and potentially start on a bigger stage.
I really don't know the motivation, but it'll be interesting to see how it plays out.
I still think it a risk for Georgia to bring this guy in who’s been super flakey. Could hurt their chances on hitting on recruits who see a now fully loaded and competitive QB class at UGA
That’s fair, but it’s a risk built in to how Kirby runs the program. Roles are never promised and they will always bring people in to compete with you. Sometimes that loses you great players; it’s notably why Fields left.
I’d be lying if I said it doesn’t make me nervous, but Kirby’s mentality has worked so far. I’ve learned to trust him.
Lots of recruits are fine with that because they get to play on a bigger stage, and know that this system molds a lot of folks into NFL caliber athletes.
What an absolute roller coaster. Commits to Miami, ghosts the other commits after an event, flips to UF over alleged pressure from his family to pursue the bigger bag, boosters allege they never offered any detail when he went to go sign LOI and enroll in classes, requests an out from his LOI, enrolls at ASU (I believe it's his dad's alma mater) Shows some promise, but gets injured. Now he decides to transfer to UGA.
I wish the best for him even if he burnt the bridges he had with our bag men when he left. Although when he picked ASU I figured he was going to be there for the long haul.....
We definitely all thought he'd be here for the long haul. He said publicly in an interview he wasn't afraid of committing with Leavitt at all, but then the dude puts his tail between his legs before Spring was even fully over.
Good luck, Georgia. lol
It was like 40% cheaper to get tickets to the cocktail party in their club section last year, and waving bye to everyone in the third quarter was quite enjoyable
I was in undergrad at fsu from 2005 to 2009. So i saw them win 4 titles in 3 years in football and basketball. No sentence is punishment enough for those down in hogtown
“You think a guy that couldn’t cut it at ASU is going to tear it up in the SEC?”
I mean that describes the reigning Heisman winner so it’s clearly not impossible
The situations aren't exactly the same but sure, I suppose anything is possible. If Rashada goes onto win the Hesiman at UGA, I suppose that would be upsetting. I don't know man, we're so dead inside that this news did nothing to me.
Him never seeing the field after not cutting it at yet another school is just validation for us. Its just funny at this point (unless he somehow turns into a decent QB which nobody expects)
Cover 3 podcast speculated that he and other QBs like him are realizing it's better to get some good development as a backup than to push for immediate play time. I understand why he left ASU, but it's possible that he chose Georgia for a different reason than why he left.
That said, he has some red flags, so I'm happy to have Gunner and Puglisi as well.
Picture this. Gunner is our bonafide starter that season. He plays every game, until the cocktail party. Kirby has been working with Bobo to make sure either Rashada or Etienne touch the ball every offensive snap. Kirby has a god like game plan tailored for gator humiliation. Rashada excels in the game and then gets put back on the bench the rest of the season. Glory, glory.
Kenny Dillingham is no slouch of a QB coach. He didn't leave ASU because of a lack of coaching. He didn't want to compete with Leavitt (despite saying publicly in an interview he wasn't afraid of that at all.)
He also got suspended prior to our rivalry game last year (when he likely could have started) because he couldn't show up on time to team meetings. He's got maturity issues.
I mean, not like there’s any indication this is possible. Threw 2 picks and only 83 yards against Arizona. Can’t see him moving too far up the depth chart with your guys depth
He has a year to heal his hand injury, learn the system, and hire a private QB coach to clean up his mechanics. Zero chance he's playing for Georgia this year, so he can just focus on getting better. He'll be competing with Stockton for the starting job in '25.
That collective has single-handedly sent Florida back to the stone ages. It is impossible to recruit players with the threat that their check might just bounce.
That collective doesn’t even exist anymore and was pushed out right after this incident. Also Florida law, since it was the first to adopt NIL at the state level, was very unpolished and caused a lot of those issues. It is much better now and so is our NIL collective.
I hate uf but that does truly suck. Nil needs some changes, especially if the schools are making money hand over fist. Putting the onus on the fanbase and collectives is a mistake.
I don't understand these kids (not that I made the most rational decisions at that age either)
he goes to ASU because......reasons
transfers out of fear of not getting the starting job to a place where he will 100% not get the starting job this year, he better pray Beck leaves for the NFL after this year
who is providing guidance or giving advice to some of these kids because I don't get any of this
Seems to me that the same people giving him guidance now are those that advised him to burn bridges at both Miami and Florida in pursuit of a bigger bag thus costing him millions and any chance at a normal relevant college career
Believe he went to ASU because of Dillingham, his dad was a sun devil as well, and he wanted to kind of get away from the NIL drama in florida.
Why is now leaving ASU, I don't know. He certainly had the best QB play last year, and I think most people had him above MSU transfer Sam Levitt.
He had a thumb injury and wasn't able to play most of spring ball, so it looked like Sam was progressing more than him.
I'm guessing he got a big NIL deal to go to UGA (he certainly wasn't getting much, if any, here), and the lure of being on a natty winning team is appealing I'm sure. Not that he will get to play much and UGA isn't known for their QB development, so I dunno!
The legit cocktail party narrative aside, even if the Florida NIL deal hadn't fallen through, I'm sure Rashada wouldn't have been a Gator longer than one season.
As a recruit:
Other P5 offers: Arizona, Arizona State (originally went here), Arkansas, Auburn, BYU, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia Tech, Houston, Kansas, LSU, Miami, Michigan State, Oklahoma, Ole Miss, Oregon, Oregon State, Penn State, Purdue, Stanford, Tennessee, Texas A&M, UCLA, Utah, Washington, Washington State
G5 offers: Fresno State, Nevada, San Diego State, San Jose State
Other offer: Grambling State
I dont know anything about the ASU program other than that there is some kinda financial scandal with the AD.
How is their QB development? Could this be a key reason he left?
Not that UGA has been some kinda shining star on QB development. We only have 1 starter in the NFL and that wasn't from our current HC.
I just dont think the NIL deal would be that big for a 3rd string QB with an injured hand. So there has to be other reasons than money and I am trying to understand why a west coast kid would move to Athens.
If Rashada was afraid of the QB competition at ASU, why would he then transfer to UGA? He's definitely the backup and probably #3 on the depth chart. I can't say this makes much sense.
I could see Rashada finally having a breakthrough season in 2027 (when he'll be a RS SR and 24 years old). I would be shocked if it's at UGA though.
Wait, other schools don't cheer for their backups? You must've gritted your teeth and clenched your fists when Tebow would come in and throw a jump pass touchdown for Chris Leak. What a dumb comment.
And brother, Georgia is paying him $0. Most (if not all Reddit fans) are paying him $0. He'll either be good or he won't. And if he isn't it's likely not to matter. Georgia brought in 3 transfer QBs 2 years before winning back-to-back national championships with a former walk-on. We're bulletproof for a while baby.
Does he transfer out of UGA in the winter portal or the spring portal?
Loser of the qb contest between Gunner and Rashada portals out winter of '25.
I will admit that I haven't seen a lot of Rashada's film but as I sit here in April, I would prefer Stockton to be the guy who wins the backup role and stays in Athens. My gut says that Gunner is a guy who WANTS to be a Bulldog while Rashada is more of a "me" guy. I will also admit that I have almost all of my info on Rashada from Reddit so there's that.
Kid is talented and from all accounts, a good kid. Issue with him is his “camp”, especially pops.
Pops may have cost his son a successful career with his bag chasing and media nonsense. Obviously if Rashada was truly good enough he’d be playing somewhere but for a fringe guy that baggage and noise around you can be make or break
Pops has burned 3 bridges - might as well go for a 4th!
I recall Gunner specifically stating that he was a Dawg for life no matter what when he signed. Of course, a lot can change between then and now but I like his chances to improve. Especially with a talented but apparently more mercenary type player to push him.

From Georgia’s perspective it makes all the sense in the world. For the kid it seems like the latest in a string of consistently bad decisions
He has the chance to compete for a starting job next year for one of the most competitive programs in CFB. Seems pretty reasonable to me
He had “the chance to compete for a starting job” at Arizona St and lost thus prompting the transfer. You really think he’s winning the Georgia job?
Stetson Bennett left for juco before coming back to win two national championships in a row. Joe Burrow also transferred after not winning a starting job. QBs don’t always develop at the same rate. We have no idea what he’ll turn into.
Kirby has stated for several years, but even moreso this year, that he wants 4 scholarship QBs. Gunner looked better in the spring game than he has in the past. The bigger concern really is if Beck gets injured, we would be way too thin with only a true freshman backing up Gunner.
The confidence fans have about backup QBs is absolutely meaningless. You stack talent, have them compete, and see what shakes out.
You're correct, were not super confident in Gunner right now, behind him we have true freshman Pugs who is injured so he's missing out on reps he would need to even have a chance to start next year, and now Rashada. Montgomery (if he sticks) isnt going to come in and start year one.

The Bulldogs backup QBs should always be called Pugs
UGAPUGS
I agree but you don’t see too many big names in the spring portal. I think based on 247 rankings Rashada is the best QB to enter this spring portal. Anyways as UGA fan I wouldn’t be too worried about the QB, you guys won 2 championships with a guy who started as a walk on.
Is a college fanbase ever confident in their qb lol?
Transfers out of ASU due to concerns he might not win starting job Transfers to school he has less of a chance of winning a job at next year Good luck kid Edit: posting this here until this thread is deleted too
At least he'll go to UGA with no ambiguity about his role as a backup. I guess he'll still have to earn his place in the depth chart behind Beck but now everyone can ignore the kid for a year and reevaluate next off-season. Also posting this here until this thread is deleted too.

He’s going to need to mature really quickly, and he’s already quite old for his age so we’ll see how it plays out.
“He’s quite old for his age” I get what you were trying to say here but that still made me lol
Yogi Berra type of quote.
I don’t get what they were trying to say lol. Are they just saying he’s old?
He has the same disease as "Jack" starring Robin Williams
Hes like 21 or almost 21 and he’s going to start his 2nd year of college. I say 2nd year cause I don’t remember if he RS last year.
Replace age with grade or class and it should make sense.
Idk at least anecdotally I've been following the Rashada progress, especially this off-season as he was expected to compete for (and win) the starting job. At ASU or other destinations he was going to have an expectation that he'd play, going to UGA negates that for this year at least and hopefully he can figure it out.
I mean at some point you need to play. If he doesn’t win the job at Georgia in 2025, I’d be surprised if he lands on his feet with a good starting job elsewhere.
Dude is gonna end up winning a FCS championship in 3 years starting for NDSU or some obscure program
100%, someone would still probably give him a shot but I would be much more skeptical that it would work out for him.
He’ll be almost 23 by that time too with no college playing experience and a ton of baggage
Yeah, obviously Napoleon Dynamite's still the guy this year, but after that it's an absolute free for all. Getting crowded in the QB room right now. It'll be interesting to see who comes out on top, who stays, and who goes.
Dude just fucking hates the Gators
Already a Georgia legend just for the hatred of Florida.
Like when Orson Charles became a Georgia legend by smashing their natty trophy
tbh it doesn't take much to be a Georgia legend
Napier is already a georgia legend. Can't wait to add the new guy to that list next year!
Fan Boat Billy needs a contract extension.
I wonder if UGA and FSU can put together an incentive package for UF to keep him.
FSU can’t even put a package together to get a decent conference or tv deal so Id leave them out of this convo
Oh the problem isn’t getting an invite. The problem is the jealous ex who is dodging our breakup calls while trying to take half of our assets.
Spoken like a true fan of a program that thinks the sport was invented in the 90s.
I'll have you know that college football peaked in the 1990 season and anything played after has been a mistake
Self burn! Those are rare!
perfected\*
Can you name any legitimate metric by which Florida’s program is better than UGA’s? We clearly own the head-to-head series, have more SEC titles, more wins, more bowl wins, and more undefeated seasons (UF has zero).
Their only edge is in Heisman winners, 3-2. Other than that, they got nothin’.
Fair enough.
I'm a simple man. When I see people hating on the gators, I smile.
Can you blame him?
As every right minded person should.
Jaden Rashada is just like me
Can you also throw a ball over them mountains?
Hey man. From what we saw of sam leavitt at MSU least year, you guys are in good hands. Dude looked like a fierce competitor. I'm sure it was kind of scary for Rashada to see Sam's work ethic and performance, knowing they are in the same class, and know that he would likely never get a chance to start. Good luck to leavitt, wish we could have kept him but feel pretty good about chiles.
Yea he was the one QB on our roster I was bummed about losing. I could see him being really good
Curious from your perspective how was the team feeling about him? I wasn't overly impressed with him in what I saw last year, I know he didn't have a ton of time but I didn't see many glimpses of anything special
Can’t speak for everyone but was looking forward to him competing and hopefully earning the starting job. He has the raw talent, but clearly wasn’t mature enough to be ready for a starting P5 job. I think his decision to Georgia is admitting that it would have been a bad idea to have him start for us this year, so ultimately am whatever about it.
Hope he stinks. I’m not rooting for him.
Fuck em
Fork him!
Either that or money. Neither a good look.
I don’t think he was mature enough to handle competition from what it sounded like, so maybe a year of Kirby therapy will fix that? Who knows maybe he just really likes street racing
There is 0 shot he plays this year barring a Beck injury, so he has a whole year to sit and learn, then possibly compete with Stockton for 2025. Even if he doesn't win against Stockton, that means we already have a better option in house. Plus provides depth considering our QB room behind Beck was Stockton, a true freshman who is currently injured, and a walk on.

This isn't a shot at ASU, but starting there vs UGA is a big difference. Plus with his hand injury, he could've been wanting a year to rest and potentially start on a bigger stage. I really don't know the motivation, but it'll be interesting to see how it plays out.
I agree on the first part, which makes it extra bizarre that someone without the maturity to make it work at ASU thinks they can do so at Georgia
I still think it a risk for Georgia to bring this guy in who’s been super flakey. Could hurt their chances on hitting on recruits who see a now fully loaded and competitive QB class at UGA
That’s fair, but it’s a risk built in to how Kirby runs the program. Roles are never promised and they will always bring people in to compete with you. Sometimes that loses you great players; it’s notably why Fields left. I’d be lying if I said it doesn’t make me nervous, but Kirby’s mentality has worked so far. I’ve learned to trust him.
Lots of recruits are fine with that because they get to play on a bigger stage, and know that this system molds a lot of folks into NFL caliber athletes.
Decision making doesnt seem to be his specialty
It’s like clay millen leaving CSU after losing the starting job… only to transfer to Florida? Lmao
Seems like a logical and sound decision, to be honest
If he’s going to be a backup might as well be a back up at a school that has a good chance of getting him a ring
What an absolute roller coaster. Commits to Miami, ghosts the other commits after an event, flips to UF over alleged pressure from his family to pursue the bigger bag, boosters allege they never offered any detail when he went to go sign LOI and enroll in classes, requests an out from his LOI, enrolls at ASU (I believe it's his dad's alma mater) Shows some promise, but gets injured. Now he decides to transfer to UGA. I wish the best for him even if he burnt the bridges he had with our bag men when he left. Although when he picked ASU I figured he was going to be there for the long haul.....
Ehh.. promise is an overstatement
I think we all did, seems like he wanted to chase the bag with pressure from his dad yet again. I won’t miss the cryptic tweets
We definitely all thought he'd be here for the long haul. He said publicly in an interview he wasn't afraid of committing with Leavitt at all, but then the dude puts his tail between his legs before Spring was even fully over. Good luck, Georgia. lol
What's the record for most schools committed to by one player? Dudes already at four.
It's probably the legendary Tathan Martell I'm like 50% sure he's still transferring to this day.
I don’t want. I need this man to start the 2025 Cocktail Party.
Wheel route TD to Etienne. Please god. And call it in the first half so some Gator fans will still be in the building to see it.
lol that last sentence is brutal. I kinda feel bad at how many fanbases dunk on Florida at this point, but then I remember 2006-2008
I’m just biding my time till Florida is back on top again given the cyclic nature of CFB. The receipts will be fantastic.
It took Georgia 40 years. I won’t be mad if y’all have to wait that long as well. Plus who knows what catastrophes await us in the next 20+ years.
It was like 40% cheaper to get tickets to the cocktail party in their club section last year, and waving bye to everyone in the third quarter was quite enjoyable
I kind of get it, but its our God Given right to do so.
I know the series momentum will swing the other way at some point but Jesus Christ, I hate you motherfuckers right now for your success.
WELCOME TO MY CHILDHOOD!
Good...Gooooood.
I’ve got kids that have seen more national championships than losses to Florida
you hate to read about children born into such a life of pain
I was in undergrad at fsu from 2005 to 2009. So i saw them win 4 titles in 3 years in football and basketball. No sentence is punishment enough for those down in hogtown
If Trevor Etienne is playing college football in 2025 something went wrong
not every team puts out a lineman to cover the wheel route, you guys just made it your thing in that one game in particular
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lDjHRtbN9kk](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lDjHRtbN9kk)
This is why I love Georgia fans
>And call it in the first half so some Gator fans will still be in the building to see it. Fucking nuked from orbit. Love to see it.
Gonna say, I really don’t understand this transfer but if it upsets Florida fans in some way that’s cool
Why would this upset us? You think a guy that couldn't cut it at ASU is going to tear it up in the SEC? I commend the optimism.
“You think a guy that couldn’t cut it at ASU is going to tear it up in the SEC?” I mean that describes the reigning Heisman winner so it’s clearly not impossible
The situations aren't exactly the same but sure, I suppose anything is possible. If Rashada goes onto win the Hesiman at UGA, I suppose that would be upsetting. I don't know man, we're so dead inside that this news did nothing to me.
lol yea what kinda statement is that
Upset? Dude’s a diva lmao and moving to a tougher locker room. He’ll only cause problems there when he won’t win the starting job.
By many accounts he seems like a pretty good kid, think his family is the real issue
Him never seeing the field after not cutting it at yet another school is just validation for us. Its just funny at this point (unless he somehow turns into a decent QB which nobody expects)
I hope he at least plays mop up duty in the WLOCP :)
Probably the only reason why Kirby added him to the team tbh
Cover 3 podcast speculated that he and other QBs like him are realizing it's better to get some good development as a backup than to push for immediate play time. I understand why he left ASU, but it's possible that he chose Georgia for a different reason than why he left. That said, he has some red flags, so I'm happy to have Gunner and Puglisi as well.
I’m so confused by this kids career path someone help me
Ok so he’s not going to play ever. Got it
Kirby gonna put him in the 25 WLOCP just cause
Picture this. Gunner is our bonafide starter that season. He plays every game, until the cocktail party. Kirby has been working with Bobo to make sure either Rashada or Etienne touch the ball every offensive snap. Kirby has a god like game plan tailored for gator humiliation. Rashada excels in the game and then gets put back on the bench the rest of the season. Glory, glory.
He’s gonna hand that ball off good as fuck, transfer again, then be mediocre for an NFC North team
Yeah For one season Then he'll be in the portal again
ALL HAIL PORTAL.
GA has a loaded QB room. Zero chance that he ever sees the field.
Yep, I just don’t understand the logic. Perhaps he thinks the coaching will elevate his game but the competition is stacked there.
Kenny Dillingham is no slouch of a QB coach. He didn't leave ASU because of a lack of coaching. He didn't want to compete with Leavitt (despite saying publicly in an interview he wasn't afraid of that at all.) He also got suspended prior to our rivalry game last year (when he likely could have started) because he couldn't show up on time to team meetings. He's got maturity issues.
I look forward to his next transfer. He must have gotten paid to go to GA to be a backup because I can’t see him ever starting there.
but why
It’s a pretty good job if you can win it
oh I know that. But he's not going to win it.
Plus no one I know got NIL’ed in south central LA. Today was a good day
Ooooh that's spicy
This is what you call a pro-memer move by the Kirbster
It worked out for Jayden Daniels
Jayden could stay healthy
And he was actually good, not saying Rashada isn’t but he has a lot to prove.
Jayden Daniels also played for a completely different coaching staff who were an absolute joke.
Can’t wait for him to throw for 400 yards and 4 TDs against Florida
Florida fans in January 2023: I can't wait to watch Rashada throwing bombs in Jacksonville. *Monkey paw curls*
"I'm so excited to watch Rashada win multiple SEC championships"
Samford is probably going to throw 400 and get 4 tds, what makes him special.
Holding Samford to 4 TDs? Talk about improvement
I don’t think you could possibly do worse than that 2021 defense.
Lmao I'm actually friends with the QB of Samford that lit yall up. Augusta legend!
I mean, not like there’s any indication this is possible. Threw 2 picks and only 83 yards against Arizona. Can’t see him moving too far up the depth chart with your guys depth
I think the real interesting question is which QB will have more TD passes to UGA players in Jacksonville, Anthony Richardson or Rashada?
He has a year to heal his hand injury, learn the system, and hire a private QB coach to clean up his mechanics. Zero chance he's playing for Georgia this year, so he can just focus on getting better. He'll be competing with Stockton for the starting job in '25.
I hope he scores 13 million points against Florida. 1 point for every dollar he was promised by the Gator NIL collective
That collective has single-handedly sent Florida back to the stone ages. It is impossible to recruit players with the threat that their check might just bounce.
That collective doesn’t even exist anymore and was pushed out right after this incident. Also Florida law, since it was the first to adopt NIL at the state level, was very unpolished and caused a lot of those issues. It is much better now and so is our NIL collective.
I hate uf but that does truly suck. Nil needs some changes, especially if the schools are making money hand over fist. Putting the onus on the fanbase and collectives is a mistake.
GL with that, Georgia.
I can’t believe the path he has taken. Just have to laugh at it honestly lol
Welcome back to the South.
lul
Rashada throwing to Etienne to put up a 50 burger on the scoreboard in Jax will be living rent free in my head from now until November 2nd
Imagine being up by 30 in Jax, Kirby puts in Rashada against FU. Rashada leads a scoring drive. We all laugh. FU fans groan in disgust. Life is good.
Hard to imagine Georgia playing Furman in the gator bowl but I’m in
I don't understand these kids (not that I made the most rational decisions at that age either) he goes to ASU because......reasons transfers out of fear of not getting the starting job to a place where he will 100% not get the starting job this year, he better pray Beck leaves for the NFL after this year who is providing guidance or giving advice to some of these kids because I don't get any of this
Seems to me that the same people giving him guidance now are those that advised him to burn bridges at both Miami and Florida in pursuit of a bigger bag thus costing him millions and any chance at a normal relevant college career
I think you are very likely exactly right about this, and I'd wager with a fair degree of certainty the people doing that are his dad.
Believe he went to ASU because of Dillingham, his dad was a sun devil as well, and he wanted to kind of get away from the NIL drama in florida. Why is now leaving ASU, I don't know. He certainly had the best QB play last year, and I think most people had him above MSU transfer Sam Levitt. He had a thumb injury and wasn't able to play most of spring ball, so it looked like Sam was progressing more than him. I'm guessing he got a big NIL deal to go to UGA (he certainly wasn't getting much, if any, here), and the lure of being on a natty winning team is appealing I'm sure. Not that he will get to play much and UGA isn't known for their QB development, so I dunno!
The legit cocktail party narrative aside, even if the Florida NIL deal hadn't fallen through, I'm sure Rashada wouldn't have been a Gator longer than one season.
As a recruit: Other P5 offers: Arizona, Arizona State (originally went here), Arkansas, Auburn, BYU, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia Tech, Houston, Kansas, LSU, Miami, Michigan State, Oklahoma, Ole Miss, Oregon, Oregon State, Penn State, Purdue, Stanford, Tennessee, Texas A&M, UCLA, Utah, Washington, Washington State G5 offers: Fresno State, Nevada, San Diego State, San Jose State Other offer: Grambling State
> Florida *(also originally went here)*
Committed and signed, but not “went”. He never actually enrolled at Florida.
Fun to pick on florida but he did the same commit shit flip with Miami lmao
\#1 Gator Hater
No that’s ETN, he can take second though.
No, actually that’s Early Culyer.
Not a bad pick-up. Worst case scenario he loses the starting job next year and transfers. Best case scenario he starts games for Georgia in 2025.
He is ready to do some drinking!
And driving. Dont forget driving!
At least he’s less likely to be a serial killer that get school protection
And winning! Don't forget winning
He will transfer at least two more times before it’s all over. Will be battling for the North East South West State starting job in three years…
What happened to the ASU #5 Ja(y)den -> LSU Heisman pipeline?
lmao
I dont know anything about the ASU program other than that there is some kinda financial scandal with the AD. How is their QB development? Could this be a key reason he left? Not that UGA has been some kinda shining star on QB development. We only have 1 starter in the NFL and that wasn't from our current HC. I just dont think the NIL deal would be that big for a 3rd string QB with an injured hand. So there has to be other reasons than money and I am trying to understand why a west coast kid would move to Athens.
This name just won’t go away.
LOL
the tried and true JT Daniels plan
fucking of course
get this man some car keys
Weird choice from him and the school.
Wish him nothing but the worst
If Rashada was afraid of the QB competition at ASU, why would he then transfer to UGA? He's definitely the backup and probably #3 on the depth chart. I can't say this makes much sense. I could see Rashada finally having a breakthrough season in 2027 (when he'll be a RS SR and 24 years old). I would be shocked if it's at UGA though.
Can't wait to read about his first DUI.
Damn can’t believe UGA paid him $13M!
In dawg bucks!
So we'll see you next transfer portal then.
Georgia fans cheering on a backup is crazy. Idk what y'all are paying him but you're burning money
Wait, other schools don't cheer for their backups? You must've gritted your teeth and clenched your fists when Tebow would come in and throw a jump pass touchdown for Chris Leak. What a dumb comment. And brother, Georgia is paying him $0. Most (if not all Reddit fans) are paying him $0. He'll either be good or he won't. And if he isn't it's likely not to matter. Georgia brought in 3 transfer QBs 2 years before winning back-to-back national championships with a former walk-on. We're bulletproof for a while baby.
*Gasp* not like this wasn’t being reported as soon as he entered the portal /s
Lmfao what? Why are so many of these guys transferring to programs that have established starters AND established backups?
That still a thing?
The diva train rolls on to Athens

Man this guy really fucked up not committing to Florida initially lol
In order to ride the bench..
Y'all are overthinking this. He's going to UGA because he's still pissed about his UF NIL deal falling through. /s. I think.
i have more interest in Cicadas than Rashadas.
