The university of Georgia’s starting quarterback, Jake
Fromm, suffered a broken hand following a boating accident on the 4th
of July. Fromm isn’t expected to miss any of the season and still plans on
being available to run summer workouts (wearing a splint).
Off the field accidents aren’t unfamiliar waters to Fromm as
he also made news earlier this summer when he made an unexpected trip to the
emergency room to have a fishhook removed from his leg.
These freak off the field incidents have some Georgia faithful
up in arms about what players do in their free time and quite frankly it isn’t
any of their damn business. Crazy accidents like these happen all the time and are
simply inevitable; spending time with family on the 4th of July
isn’t a sin. Jake Fromm gives Tim Tebow a run for his money in terms of off the
field motives. He is one of the most down to earth kids that has ever came
through Athens. I’m honestly surprised he wasn’t off in the Philippines or some other third world country on a mission trip for his week off. To question what he
does when he’s not putting his life on the line between the hashes is
laughable. To tell a nineteen-year-old kid to live in a bubble during the
golden years of his life is cruel. There’s an abundance of worse things a
college kid could be doing; Just ask Jameis Winston or Josh Gordon. Going
fishing once in a while shouldn’t source this type of uproar.
With this minor injury to Jake Fromm’s non throwing hand,
the gates slightly open for (the number one overall class of 2018 prospect) Justin
Fields to showcase his talent and fight for the starting job. The quarterback
battle will be intensively intriguing on the field in it’s own right. It would
be shameful to see fans continue to pick favorite because of off the field, low
probability accidents. Shit, I’ve first hand witnessed Justin Fields passed out
outside of an Athens bar but no god forbid Jake Fromm goes fishing.
