Re: Georgia makes it clear Gunner Stockton will, and has to, improve in 2026
Connor Riley's shot at Carson Beck is hilarious. Beck didn't regress in 2024. The players around him did. Beck went to Miami where he actually has a feature tailback, a #1 WR (which Zachariah Branch isn't and he certainly wasn't at USC) and OTs that don't give up catastrophic injuries when he is trying to throw downfield and guess what? The successful Beck is back again.
Unlike most people, I didn't see much alleged growth between the Stetson Bennett IV who got benched in 2020 and the SB IV who went to New York in 2022. Instead, I saw the players around him get a lot better. 3 future NFL starters at OT. 5 stars Darnell Washington and James Cook got healthy. Ladd McConkey came out of nowhere to become a future NFL Pro Bowler. And Kenny McIntosh sacrificed his feature back potential and draft status to become the ultimate gadget player to fit Bennett's skill set. (Yes, it would have been in McIntosh's personal interests to play in a pro style offense, rush for 1200-1300 yards and enter the NFL as a 2nd or 3rd round pick instead of a 7th round pick). And Brock Bowers was a generational player as a receiving TE.
Put SB IV on the teams that UGA fielded in 2024 and 2025 and he gets benched again. Put Gunner Stockton in an offense where he gets to throw to Bowers, Washington and McConkey - plus AD Mitchell and George Pickens when those guys were healthy - and hand off to Cook and McIntosh and he puts up even better numbers than SB IV did.

Re: The key area Ole Miss zeroed in on to beat Georgia, 39-34, in Sugar Bowl victory
Everyone Stop what ever your doing and listen to this random expert. Blah, Blah, Blah. Stats, Data, History all slanted to make your expert point. But the Real Truth is that Even as poorly as the Dawgs played last night, and the Coaching even worse they were only a couple of plays away from winning it.
And Mr. Expert what about the highly Bogus Targetting call on Thomas, Yet a No Call on the Ole Miss player who lead in with his helmet right under Gunner’s chin ? I’m surprised it didn’t break his jaw. And I guess to You going 12-2 and the SEC crown is mediocre.
And please tell me what other team is winning Ntl. Titles consistently since the Dawgs B2B ? And please tell me in this age of NIL and TP what team will win multiple Ntl. Titles in say a 5 year period ?
Allow me to answer the second question for you. You don’t know. No more than the rest of us know.
You throw out your stats, data, history, Opinions and Guesses and label them as Fact. You don’t know the future of the Dawgs program anymore than the rest of us do. You ASSume.
And your “ helpful insight from an outsider” charade is sickening. What your Really here to do is pit Dawgs fans against one another. You call yourself random So how much time do spend annoying other fanbases ? I knew you’d be heard gleefully prodding.
Dawgs lost last night. It hurts deeply and very painfully. But the Season was far from a loss. There are numerous teams that would’ve Loved to enjoy the success the Dawgs had This year, last year, and this year before that. I could continue down that trail. It is not realistic to think ANY team will win a Ntl. Title every year. Dawgs are one of only a handful that have won B2B. Now with NIL and the TP the quest will be even more difficult.
As long as our Dawgs don’t go a real lengthy drought without winning a Ntl. Title and are close in the hunt that should make Any reasonable fan happy.
Yes we lost the first game of the playoffs again. But have You and anyone else stopped to think how many good teams don’t even make the playoffs ?
If you think the Dawgs football program is dead and ready for a funeral you’re sadly mistaken.
You’re a bitter former GT fan. So why don’t you randomly ease over there and go into a bunch of detail about all the things They need to do to be elite ? That would make much more sense. Even for an expert like you.

Re: Georgia makes it clear Gunner Stockton will, and has to, improve in 2026
I admire Stockton’s moxy, but his ceiling is limited. The fact that the coaching staff feels he provides the team with the best chance of winning says a lot about recruiting and QB development. Let’s have a true competition among the QB’s on the roster and any that come in through the TP. Up till now, it feels like completion only exists for the other positions.
