I’m sure you made the best, most rational decisions when you were 20 years old.Dude quit on his team mid season. Wouldn’t even get in a sideline qb huddle during a game. I’m not wishing evil upon him but let’s just say he’s not on my radar when it comes to memorable Georgia Tech graduates.
I’ve never quit on anyone. Quitting on your team is a continued screw up. That’s character, not maturity.I’m sure you made the best, most rational decisions when you were 20 years old.
Yes. I don’t think anyone is saying it was right, just that he appears to have grown and has made a good decision to finish at GT. Character can be improved. Lack of forgiveness can be seen as a character issue too.I’ve never quit on anyone. Quitting on your team is a continued screw up. That’s character, not maturity.

There’s a big difference between openly cheering for former Jackets and “forgiving them.” We’re not exiling him. We’re deciding who to champion. Let’s not be dramatic.Yes.

You do that.There’s a big difference between openly cheering for former Jackets and “forgiving them.” We’re not exiling him. We’re deciding who to champion. Let’s not be dramatic.
I’ll cheer for and follow the Tech alumni who did it the right way.
I read Sims threw 3 INTs in a recent scrimmage. Sounds like Arizona State practices don’t include a dance off or whatever the hell Geoff did.

I am sure Sims will come thru fine. The players who are in the ring, for them life is sweeter. (Son played in college). The time, the effort, the injuries, the "team": some did better but all did way more than us stand sitters. Their time at Gt and doing sports sets them up to grab life.What's the 'right way' tho?
I bet there's a great many of us that didn't graduate or even go to tech. And there are more that transferred in or out but made it through. Then others that dropped out and either did or didn't make it back.
I dunno. I just don't think we shld be all judgy.
Oooof! Harsh truth.I read Sims threw 3 INTs in a recent scrimmage. Sounds like Arizona State practices don’t include a dance off or whatever the hell Geoff did.
He did not win the starting job
Yeah, but, after hating on him for a quite a while I’m ready to move on.I mean yeah, Collins and Patenode didn’t do Jeff any favors, but he had the same problems at Nebraska, so it’s not all on coaching. The guy throws a ton of picks.
And more than anything he quit on his team by refusing to play in the middle of a game when he was needed. I know many will defend his decision, but if he were truly concerned with his health he never should have dressed in the first place and made himself available. That general attitude isn’t typically one that translates into a season’s worth of success - I.e. when else is he going to make a similar decision? Maybe it’s not refusing to play, but maybe giving up on a play or drive? Was just a really bad look imo.
No one is going to change my mind on this one. Maybe he regrets it, but I don’t recall him ever addressing that incident.
