[QUOTE="Bruce Wayne, post: 174408, member: 231"] Here, here. And what would we have been left thinking about JT after the UGA game if it wasn't for the kick and pick? I was so angry at the refs when I saw JT beating himself up on the sidelines after that 2nd phantom fumble they called on him. I thought, great, UGA is going to once again beat Tech while being the lesser team and playing a worse game and on top of that the refs made it happen in such a way that the confidence of our young promising QB would be deeply shaken. You can retort, well Justin scrambled and got out of bounds to put the team in a position to kick that FG. But I would point out that Justin was able to get that chance to scramble to make it a 53 yard FG . . . that is long by the way . . . first because of the return of UGA's awful squib kickoff. But secondly, Richt had to then call a timeout to accidentally save Tech from delaying the game and not even getting the kick off. Thirdly, Butker still had to actually make a 53 yarder, it is only the fact he made that which allows us to credit Thomas for getting just enough yardage. And that leads to my point: even Thomas, no matter how talented he may be, needed a team around him to get that win or avoid a loss. It is okay to love a team and not just deify the QB. [/QUOTE]
