Re: Stetson Bennett competing for NFL job with former UT-Martin QB
JT Daniels??….Loved JT, but he certainly didn't have the legs, leadership qualities and instincts/improv/swagger as Stetson. He certainly wouldn't have led the Dawgs to 2 straight titles imo. That is not an easy thing to do no matter what you have/had around you.
Far too many look at arm, size and potential & actually watch the magic that is happening on the field of play. Stetson was a great leader and winner. No idea why some don't recognize that, he may be the best overall QB ever at UGA.
Re: Stetson Bennett competing for NFL job with former UT-Martin QB
Every single one of the receivers you named, was either injured or recovering from injury or between injuries....throughout Bennett's tenure. Every one of em. So…don't try to project a physically limited starting cast, as the reason for Bennett's success. The RB room was about as average as I've ever seen it, in Athens.
If you go doin' that thing, with "the starting cast contribution"....we should probably revisit the narratives on some other more highly touted QB's....like, Bryce Young, Caleb Williams and Justin Fields. I'd say their cast of characters was at least as good as UGA's....if not better.…and only one of em won a Natty.
Though, they didn't all bring home a trophy….they all won Heisman's. Yet.…they seemed to escape the high-powered...[and at times, unjustified, imo]…scrutiny some of National Media & the UGA Fanbase have been inclined to put Bennett under.
A microscope for Bennett....a telescope for everybody else? Hell…that Duggin kid, with TCU got more love than Bennett, from some in the UGA Fanbase.
I just have one question.…"Why?.
I'm not calling you out specifically, @87dawg. I'm not questioning your devotion to your team or laying a judgement on you.
I just find it fascinating, that when UGA Fans finally get the quarterback they've been needing and the Natty's they've been yearning for....they embrace every quarterback in CFB, but, the one God gave em. Old story...different characters. Lol....just because ESPN Experts said so.
Go Dawgs....Stockton is The One.
Re: 4-star DL Preston Carey commits to Georgia football over Auburn and Florida
Agreed, I could see him as our version of a T. J Watt.
Re: Georgia football will have plenty of options as it looks for a new top WR in 2025
No matter who is number one, the offense has to be more explosive in the passing game and the running game. It's extremely hard to beat good teams with 12-15 play drives. Of course the focus is on the passing game, but the Dawgs only averaged 124 yds/game rushing last year. I can't recall any explosive runs which means the threat of play action was negligible. Their offense and the passing game runs off of play action. Unless, the Dawgs show they can run effectively, teams will drop back in zone and make Gunner's life miserable.

Re: Stetson Bennett competing for NFL job with former UT-Martin QB
i think you are having some revisionist history on JT. I’ll admit he wasn’t a threat with his legs but his processing and arm were better. If he won in 21 he likely goes pro. So you’re right he wouldn’t have gone back to back. UGA fans forget how good JT was here.
Stetson is absolutely the GOAT UGA QB. And JT might’ve won it all in 21. Both statements can be true.
