Wish him the best, but I won't miss him
You will miss him big time around mid Sept.
He was a very good qb here. Super accurate, smart. Slow footed as ****, but not his fault Richt got him
doing RPO with a crap o line. Or his fault Coach No D was here for 2 of his years.
You all will realize how spoiled we were with Kaaya. Look at UFs offense recently without a qb. I fear our offense going to
be very UF like this year
He was nowhere near close to super accurate under Richt or Coley's offense.... missed crucial passes plenty of times even when he had a clean pocket. And killed drives bc he took on sacks that an average QB couldve avoided.
He was 21st in the nation in QB rating, 35th in completion percentage.
A 3 year starting QB who is getting drafted in the NFL > 2 lightly recruited backups (Rosier/Sherieffs) or a 160lb True FR (Perry). Anyone who says otherwise is an idiot.
I keep going back and forth on whether or not we'll miss him. It's all about who replaces him and what that guy brings, and we don't know that because the practices were closed to the public. I can tell you that IMHO Kaaya would have had much better stats in that second scrimmage than what we read the other QBs had. But it was a red-jersey scrimmage for QBs. I have no idea how he would have compared to the QBs in the first scrimmage. Just not enough information until D$'s writeup and summer camp.
As far as Kaaya is concerned, he was an amazing pocket passer at times when he had less pressure. But couldn't even move within the pocket well, much less move with a moving pocket, scramble or handle designed runs. So he was a one-dimensional QB who was exceptional at that dimension, which was (usually) the more important attribute for a quality collage QB. But when things broke down, man he looked outright ugly sometimes.
And while he led us back in a few rallies, I can't remember one come-from-behind signature win that we had. But I wish him all the best.
