Why Eric Zeier should have his number retired

 Whenever most Georgia football fans think about the greatest quarterbacks to play the game for Georgia. There sure are alot of odd answers,Stetson Bennett Aaron Murray come to mind...and those are good options and rightfully so you would choose them,but if you have been a Georgia fan for you're entire life and not the last two years....you would know a name that has been forgotten in history.

That being the best quarterback to ever play at Georgia Eric Zeier! Eric Zeier is perhaps the most underappreciated player or figure to come out of Georgia all because he didn't win a national title. If you can sit here and say with a straight face that kirby smart and stetson bennett deserve a statue-then Eric Zeier deserves one too and he deserves his number to be retired. 

Eric Zeier is still the most accomplished QB ever in Georgia/NCAA history and most of "-Dawgnation"- still over-looks him he is some of the things he has done at Georgia. Eric started 4 years at Georgia,he broke many school and SEC records the most notable award was most passing yards in the SEC. Before the last two years-Georgia could have won a title in 1992 only losing to Florida and Tennessee by 5 points combined. When you look at other SEC schools that are known for QBs you get names like Peyton Manning for the Vols,Joe Namath for Alabama and Tim Tebow for the Gators,Georgia has never had a any "Special" Quarterbacks sure we all have our favorites but Eric Zeier made a Georgia team that was always known for running the ball,we could name a top 10 list of best running backs to ever play at Georgia and 60% of that list would be UGA players. You cannot make the same comparison for QBs. That's why i write this, Eric Zeier for the longest time and still today Georgia has never had a QB that would matter on a all time list or even just being remembered for being a great player. Eric Zeier is that,Z is that dude and everyone at Georgia just act's like he doesn't exist...why is that?

David Greene and Matthew Stafford we're great players at Georgia but Eric Zeier set the standard for them and everything you have now at Georgia. Eric Zeier is still the standard at Georgia without him the QB position at Georgia is just what a stated earlier nothing....nothing at all.

PS Hey...Eric Zeier went 4-0 vs Georgia tech just to put that in retrospective...Kirby smart went 3-1 vs tech and he even lost to Tek in his first season as HC....Keep that Perfection Z! We love you Zeier! Thank you for everything you did that Georgia i may not have been alive to see it but i never will forget you!
