UGA QB room will be loaded when Stockton joins it. Throw Manning in there too? Sheesh! Stockton is special. Manning might be more special. Jury is still out on ALL of them though. Love Stockton. Haven't seen enough of Manning yet to form a personal opinion but considering all who has been instructing him on how to be QB ALL of his life, wouldn't bet against him as being a future Heisman winner. I would bet on it though. If he does underperform in college, well that will get fixed QUICK! And I hope with everything in me that comes to UGA!
Brady may not be the answer some seem to think he is for LSU since they had one really good season while he was there. No one speaks about the receivers room at LSU that season. It was nuts! Are not all of those starting receivers in the NFL now with at least 2 being All-Pro caliber already? Combine that with Burrow and the head on his shoulders to go with his arm...good luck replicating anything close to that season! No, I think Brady's reputation or shall I say the incredibly high credit he received from that season would have nowhere to go but DOWN, if he took over at LSU. That was the best offensive football team I seen in my life! Matter of fact I asked my wife how much cash we had total from various places so I could bet every dime on LSU to cover against Clemson. Which, they did! Most credit Brady, I do credit him too, but not nearly as much as I credit the once-in-a-lifetime offensive talent in place on the same team at the same time that created that one incredible season.
Trevor Lawrence? Eli Manning? Peyton Manning? Oh and remember that guy? What was his name? Oh yeah. Herschel Walker?
If Brock is that good he will be starter next 2 years then gone. do I wonder if he beats out Gunner next year though. That is going to be one heck of a battle! Now he should with his head start but Gunner is very special and his teammates LOVE HIM and many are coming to UGA to play WITH GUNNER. Gunner just is a winner on an under-manned team at a small school. Wait until HE has the same weapons as the guys that come from the big schools and is on equal footing with Brock, Beck whoever else is in the QB room. Has big and tall gazelles at WR too!
Anyway, that being said, right now who would we all put our money on to win a Heisman? Say we all had to put up $100K of our own money to lose and we had to pick one of these 3 to win a Heisman before they left college. Or we had to pick the right one or die. I do not know about you all, but I would be putting my money on Arch Manning! Then Gunner, followed very closely by Brock though. That is going to be some competition between those two! Then throw in Arch Manning? WOW! Do not see that happening but who knows! Didn't think Stockton or Beck would still come with Brock around but they did!
This has been an interesting discussion about a subject that I follow extensively. I have had the opportunity to watch Arch Manning play in several games. He is very talented and does come from a very good family. One that you would expect knows their x's and o's very well.
However, in 2 games that Arch has lost this year, he didn't do as well due to the level of the competition. That is 1 problem that happens when a recruit is over hyped by the talking heads. He is rated a 5 star by all the recruiting services but Gunner Stockton is only a 4 star. Why? Who knows the real reason.
Let's compare their resumes. Both are comparable in several categories. Stockton is in a much tougher region. He is also 88-3 through his years of playing football. Look at that stat again. Plus he has broken record after record in GA HS records.
Kirby wants Manning and that is all I need to know. Is he coming to UGA? Highly doubtful. He would be sitting behind 2 fierce competitors in Brock and Gunner. Plus in class of 24, Dylan Raiola is coming to UGA as well.
Is Manning going to be willing to duke it out? Highly unlikely. But if he does, we will welcome him just like we do any other recruit that Kirby wants.
I like BVG for QB1 next year, and the year after that. Unless of course Stetson wins it all and decides to come back. That thought just brought to mind an interesting thought experiment... Just imagine: what if Stet, JT, and Beck all stayed? We would be losing our minds as a fan base over who is / should be playing QB. Even wilder if Stet was still QB1 against Oregon next September. Which brings to mind another idea -- there is a likely scenario where we could be playing Oregon in the Natty and then again in a rematch to open the year. That could be fun
Stetson Bennett will b the starting QB at Georgia next year hands down no questions asked and BVG will b his closer in short yardage and goal line packages because BVG has the frame and the athleticism to thrive in that limited role but forget about it, I don't care who starts, BVG is gonna b too good and will bring too much value not to play in year 2.
Yes. Stet will be back. Seriously, where is he going to go? Even if JT comes back also, Stet will probably get the lion's share of snaps. The good news is that no matter what happens, UGA is loaded at QB for the next several years.
BVG won't b able to beat out Bennett for the job next year and that's a very good thing for Georgia considering the 'Dawgs will b attempting to go back to back and u like your chances a lot more with a seasoned vet and proven big game performer like Stet than most any other option including BVG and Gunner Stockton so the issue in the Spring will b who's gonna be running the 2s Beck or BVG.

If stet wins the championship as the starter, he’s the starter next year no questions asked. JT would have to go pro or transfer.
as for gunner, he’s an awesome player. He’s a 4 star for his tools vs manning as a 5 star. I know it’s hard for fans to understand the difference between tools and stats but that’s the difference between the two. Just think of the difference between mahomes and tebow. Tebow, clearly the better college quarterback with the better team vs mahomes who didn’t have the success but had more tools. Stylistically Stockton and manning are similar to that comparison. Both athletic but one is more durable. Both throw well but one has a quicker stronger arm. Both can be successful at the college level. Also don’t mistake that comparison for a talent comparison , just talking stylistically
The thought occurred to me whether Arch Manning likes BA.
I highly doubt he even knows who BA is
I think BA feels or maybe he’s got some info from recruiting reporters that there’s almost no chance he comes here. UGA is not QB U .. the OC may or may not be here then, CKS is def minded coach etc… it’s just not the set up for #1 QB in the country.
make no mistake about it, LSU is willing to spend $100M to get the HC that will land Arch Manning ,
The LSU coach search committee meets at the Mannings table
Say that to the 3 5 star quarterbacks that have been recruited in the past 5 years. Evidence doesn’t back your point. Also if you think a coaching search relies on one HS kid, I’d go back and look how every other major coaching hire has been made
