Question is who will be back next year. HK may be done (off season surgery?), Knowles and Pyron may transfer. Will need lots of NIL to keep Philo from getting poached. He will likely lose his redshirt against uga.
He did mention in the post game interview that if he continues rehab there’s a “high probability” of him being a passing threat again by the uGA game.
He was throwing somewhat pregame, but it was forced. I think it’s a decoy.
That is wishful thinking. King cannot throw the ball at the level needed to play QB in college now. That is very clear. He sat 3 weeks and in the past 2 games he has not thrown a pass longer than 5 yards. He is 9-9 for 44 yards the past 2 games. Most of his passes were Jet Sweep plays where he tosses the ball about 1 yard. That is not a capable QB at this point. He is a smart and tough player. He is clearly hurt to the point he is very compromised. He gives all he has all the time!
Kings injury can obviously be rehabbed, although he’s pretty old so maybe he wants to move on. However, he’s not going to play in the NFL and he loves playing football, so I highly doubt it. Not to mention the very, very strong bond between King and Key, and King and Weinke.
Even after his runs, it looked like that right shoulder was drooping once he got to the sideline. We’re going to need to beat UGA without him.

We all have our opinions…Let’s just agree to disagree on this one.
Amen. Other than that, he pretty good.
Haynes King is a tough mf’er. Unfortunately he’s looked seriously banged up after plays and on the sideline. I hope we aren’t putting him at risk of serious injury
I thought I noticed on the sideline that King was hanging his arm again after a certain tackle. I hope I'm wrong.
King immediately put his hands on his head after letting the ball go. To me that says he just didn’t see him until too late. We’ll find out next week. I do have the feeling he could throw more than he let on this week, but with Philo playing well and the run game totally stuffed, game flow didn’t favor it.
My bet is on King as a GA or analyst at GT after he’s done playing.
Probably not enough velocity to throw over the middle or outs into tight coverage. I have concerns he has a tear of some sort that will take lots of time or maybe surgery. A simple contusion should be healed. It's a catch22: he needs it to rest it but he needs to throw in practice.
Exactly! This shows the problem isn't the ball he throws, it's who is catching it. Stockton has familiarity with him from HS. Once Philo gets more 1st team reps, they'll learn how to catch him.
