Re: Atlanta radio host and former UGA QB Buck Belue: "Barrett Jones overrated"

I can take that kind of overrating. Reading the UGA boards is sort of bizarro world. The vast majority feel that they're going to steamroller us. There're few who even think it'll be a game. I've never seen such a cocky fan base, especially being substantial underdogs. I hope the fans' attitudes have seeped into the team's psyches...

Judging from the players' own comments, they have.

Earle, I've noticed over the years that teams and fans of those teams who trash talk or smack talk like Georgia has are hiding a secret fear that their going to get their butts handed to them once the game starts...lol

The last time I remember so much smack was from the Miami Hurricanes and their fan base before we showed them how to play football in the 92 Sugar Bowl.

Two of their best players were suspended for the South Carolina game.

No they weren't. Rambo and Ogletree came back the week before against Tennessee... when they gave up almost 500 yards and 44 points to a team Bama never let breathe.

Unless it was Superman and The Incredible Hulk -- I find it hard to believe 2 players would be that impactful unless it was the QB and your Kicker

I'm scared that in addition to having us so very overmatched, they'll break out the black jerseys again. That'll seal our doom right there.

Re: Atlanta radio host and former UGA QB Buck Belue: "Barrett Jones overrated"

AJ is certainly over rated when compared to Aaron Murray.

Look at these stellar statistics against the two top ten teams Aaron faced this season

Against South Carolina 11-31, 109 yards, 0 TD's, 1 interception

Against Florida 12-24, 150 yards, 1TD, 3 interceptions

That's 23-55 for 269 yards, 1TD and 4 interceptions in their biggest games this season. Hard to top that :)

Against good competition...he comes up short.

Buck Belue's statistics, per Totalfootballstats.com

1978 NCAA Georgia Bulldogs 7 14 28 50.0 228 1 3 3.6 10.7 32.6 8.1 108.8

A.J. McCarron's stats, per ESPN

SEASON CMPATTYDSCMP%YPALNGTDINTSACKRAT
2012178265250767.29.468525219176.3

2010304838962.58.1047302151.2

Buck's highest rating is below A.J.'s lowest rating. Look at those TD/Int ratios as well, and passing yardage to boot. I've gotta admit, it looks like Buck should know a thing or two about being overrated.
In defense of Buck Belue, he played in a different era. I'd be very surprised to hear him say Barrett is overrated as he usually is just kidding around about that sort of thing. I've met him and talked Georgia and Bama football with him before. He's really a class act. You have to remember, he won with their only real national championship team back in 80. You have to understand that he's going to be a homer -- not to be a jerk but believe me Buck bleeds black and red. If you've listened to him over the years he has been very complimentary towards Bama. I have no animosity towards him. Yeah but I do admit, it will be good to beat those Dawgs tomorrow RTR!!!!

Re: Atlanta radio host and former UGA QB Buck Belue: "Barrett Jones overrated"

I guess it's easy for Buck Belue (who?) to say that being a QB and all. All he did was stand behind linemen, never actually on the line.

And how exactly does he come to this conclusion?

Well, I think Murray's big game performances pretty much has determined what our game plan will be on defense. Lots of blitzes.
I think it's probably obvious to Coach Saban and staff that if you pressure him and can get into his head early that he really struggles against good teams. That's not a direct knock at Murray, most QB's have the same problem. But in all honesty if he has to make quick decisions he has tended to panic and turn the ball over. Against ranked teams since 2010 he has thrown 19 TD's but has also thrown 14 interceptions. Those turnovers are huge in big game scenarios.

No doubts. I'm going to be a homer as well. Buck picks at Barrett, Bamachile picks at Buck - nothing personal. :wink:
