I'm also frustrated not to see more Daniels. But my frustration is directed more toward the situation than Smart's handling of it. It's well established that Daniels is rusty after missing half the season due to the injury. I don't see how you could say this was the game to throw him out there. I guess he could have gone out there once the game was well in hand. But at that point moving the ball with the run game was clearly the correct approach, and I'm sure if Daniels was put in there just to hand the ball off people would be complaining about that too. I'll wait to see how many snaps he gets in the next two weeks before I start to wonder about Smart's motives. There's an easy case to be made for sticking with what's working, and as long as it's working I'm not going to go questioning the coaching. But I do think it would be a problem not to give Daniels as many snaps as possible these next two games, in case we do need him in the SEC game and beyond. Lastly, I don't know where this "good old boy" stuff is coming from, but I'm going to assume recruits have more sense than that until I see some kind of evidence that it's an actual thing and is costing us recruits.
SBIV still missing open receivers when he feels pressure. Had to settle for a FG after SBIV forced the ball to Fitzpatrick in the endzone on 3rd down when Burton was all alone on the goal line. SBIV also missed finding a wide open Washington over the middle on a 3rd down. Surprised the UGA D didn't adjust sooner. Early on giving an 8 yard cushion to TN WR's even on short yardage situations. UGA needed JTD to play the whole 4th and run the normal O. Teams trying to score TD's late in blowout games shouldn't complain when UGA runs their whole O in the 4thQ. JTD needs reps.
I've said it before and I will say it again. Good for Stetson on being the guy for now. But, Stetson continues to give me pauses when he plays. The throwing the ball to the ground and not getting rid of the ball is going to cost us. Kirby is doing what I expected him to do since he became head coach. You remember Jacob Eason. He got hurt in the Louisiana Monroe game I believe and he NEVER saw the field again. He was beat out, supposedly, by Fromm. Then enters Justin Fields. He set Justin up for failure on that BS play. Played Jake Fromm, his "good ole boy" from my area of Georgia and allowed Justin to leave for Ohio State. We all knew Justin was way better than Jake. The facts bear them out in who's playing in the NFL. Since then, I've learned that Kirby isn't going to change. That's the difference between him and Saban. Saban is going to play his BEST player whether they're from Alabama or not. Kirby will live and die with his "good ole boy". I just hate it for JT and any other elite quarterbacks that wish to come and play for us. They have to be superman, in order, for them to not get hurt to eventually be replaced by a backup. I think JT will go to the NFL next season. Before people say that we're hating on Bennett, we're not. We're just pointing out the obvious.
I'm proud of this team. They overcame the flu and a number of injuries and still played like the No.1 team. UT came out with a plan and did some damage. The defense adjusted and shut it down. The offense got it done. Only undefeated team on the SEC. GOOODAWGS!
It’s not obvious.
Fields was not good at UGA. Would have never thrived in the SEC.
This is a boring, worn out, ultimately groundless distraction.
Please stop.
Go Dawgs!
Stets has led this team to blowout big wins against the toughest SEC teams on the schedule and the first undefeated SEC season since ‘82. JT proved last week he is still very rusty, but it’s Kirby playing favorites? Then, the drivel about Jake, who by the way led the team to within a busted coverage of a natty, and Jacob. Then, more drivel about Fields? Take a couple Midol and take a nap.
Exactly what teams in the NFL are looking to spend early draft picks on a quarterback that is not clearly better in mobility nor arm strength than a former walk-on?
When Daniels was healthy, he was determined to be the better quarterback by the coaches. Smart's sticking with what's working, and that's fine as long as it's working, but let's not act like Daniels is some scrub. You're really squeezing every drop you can out of Herbstreit misspeaking in saying Bennett has the stronger arm, eh?
Usually, I’m on board with what you have to say. Not here. The “good ‘ol boy” schtick is tired. I like JT. I’m skeptical of the “but Stetson has wheels” commentary. I know Bennett has made some questionable plays. I think the backup should get work when a game is well-in-hand. I DON’T think Smart would say no if Monken suggested JT go in. I DON’T think Bennett only has this job because he’s from the great state of Georgia. I DO think a coach who actually made decisions that way wouldn’t have the success Smart has had (and note: the team is made of people he RECRUITED from all over, who play wire-to-wire).
I don’t know why SBIV is the only person getting legitimate snaps right now. I never will, either. We can speculate about it all we want, but all that’s really going to provide is a list of our personal biases for the rest of the folks in these threads.
I’d love to see JTD start against Charleston Southern. If rust is an issue, give him some game time in an obvious win situation. I still remember 2nd and 26 and that happened because there were two viable options at QB for Bama. I’d love for us to have that at the ready heading into the CFP.
No worries. Kirby probably reads these comments, and will yank Stetson out of the lineup to save this train-wreck of a season lol…
At this point, CKS's thought process is a mystery with the QBs. I am done guessing when or even whether he will put JT in to knock off some of the rust that CKS complained about. I can't help but think that this team will have high turn-over after the season ends. JT and Beck would be fools to stay. Brock will take to ball with Gunner as the only other scholarship QB in the room. Virtually all of the front 7 are gone except Jalen Carter - and that's only because he is a sophomore. There is very good depth in the LB room but they just don't see the field because the 2-deep is so strong. Offense will still look pretty strong (RBs, WRs, o-line, TEs) - maybe even better.
I guess Stetson Bennet would beat out Tom Brady too, because Tom can’t run for first downs like Stetson can. Give me a break! Nobody is aruguing Stetson shouldn’t have started but would really like for JT to get some reps.
HAHA...it's obvious you're clueless about football and talent if you think Justin Fields wasn't going to be good in the SEC. The reason why he wasn't good at UGA he was set up to fail and never given the opportunity. Everybody that's a Georgia alum knows this. If he wasn't good at UGA, then why did Kirby went hard to recruit him when all of the other big schools was coming after him. Kirby didn't want any of the schools to get him in the SEC because he knew players like Justin will come back to bite him in a game. Please, step away from the keyboard if you're making asinine comments.
