Terrence Moore Wants Shockley

Generally speaking, I disagree with Terrence Moore of the AJC. But I love what he has to say today.

Now let’s say folks do what they always do, and that is, scream for the backup quarterback. Actually, in this case, let’s say folks bark themselves red and black for the backup quarterback.

You don’t stick with the $72 million man as your starter. You switch to the guy who can help you fill all of those empty seats you’ll have this season.

And then we get this gem of a quote from D.J.'s dad.

“I’m going to tell you right now, man,” said Don Shockley, the proud father who coached his all-state son at North Clayton High School. “Bottom line is that, if D.J. ever gets a chance to take over this thing, he’ll set the town on fire.”

The funny thing is that D.J. Sr. is totally right. If D.J. starts a game, the Dome will be packed with Georgia fans. They won't have to worry about potential blackouts anymore.
