I gotta back up D.J on this one.

Put yourself in D.J's shoes from the beginning. A huge high school star who was the #1 recruit in the country signs with UGA in 2000. He commits to a school who at the present time had no starting QB and Shockley thinks he will get to make some immediate noise. But, out of no where David Greene comes along and just steals the show. Do any of you know that the only schlorship offer David Green got was from UGA? He wasn't very highly recruited. So, here is DG, winning game after game, while D.J is sitting on the bench. Richt begins to rotate the two QB's... Greene is proven, Shockley is not. Did any of you know how much pressure has been on this kid since DG became a star? He was the #1 recruit in the country, he had better live up to his potential, especially at UGA.

My point is the fact that Shockley has put so much pressure on himself to do well to prove his worth. Plus the fact that he played behind the winningest QB in college football history. Greene is gone, a huge chip is lifted off D.J.'s shoulders, now he can go on the field feeling no pressure because he's the man, plain and simple. Richt will do the same thing Auburn did for Jason Campbell, simplify the playbook and D.J will shock a lot of people. And the other dawg fans, like myself make good points, Shockley will be behind the best OL in the country, plus he has one of the best backfields in the country. He'll be fine, you will all see.

I wouldn't at all be surprised if UGA looks a lot like that Tenn. team back in 98 next year.
