Georgia football: Time to reconsider G-Day’s quarterback rules

If you watch the Georgia football spring scrimmages, you know that quarterbacks are almost untouchable. Defensive players only need to touch a quarterback with their pinky to record a tackle. This leads to some pretty weak sacks and takes the quarterbacks legs out of the game.

Protecting the quarterbacks is necessary. The last thing Georgia needs is for Jake Fromm or Justin Fields to seriously injure themselves in a scrimmage. But we can at least force the defensive players to put more effort into stopping the QB’s right?

We don’t have pocket passers. Fromm is a balanced quarterback who can leave the pocket and pick up yards when all else fails.
