Apparently you're still pissed off about Stet winning the Natty after all your posts telling us that the Dawgs would NEVER win it all with him at QB. That's cool, you certainly have a right to your opinion.
I doubt that anyone thinks it's a coincidence that JT is leaving. My God, the man couldn't beat out a former walk-on for the starting job. Hopefully he can find somewhere that will just give him the job and he won't have to compete for it. I wish him the best.
As for JB, I'm surprised that he chose to leave, but if he doesn't want to be a part of this team then he doesn't need to be here. I'm sure you're probably right in your assumption that JB is chasing JT. Apparently, like you, he is convinced that JT is the greatest QB ever to play the game and that Coach Smart is just too **** to see how wonderful they would be together. They may very well end up as a package deal as you suggest. If that happens I wish them nothing but success.
I'm happy that Stetson decided to return but I don't believe for a minute that he will automatically be made the starter based on past performance alone. When spring practice starts, I believe every QB on the roster will be given the opportunity to compete and whoever gives us the best chance to win will be the Dawgs QB. I don't think Kirby isn't nearly as **** about his QB's as some people think he is.
Having said that, I can help but wonder how JB will feel if JT spends another year riding the pine somewhere while BVG or Gunner Stockton are lighting it up in Athens. Only time will tell.
GO DAWGS!!
I think Burton will end up at Bama. Unfortunate for us. Bryce Young can make any wide receiver look good. All in pursuit of the high first round pick. It sucks, but money talks I guess. Oh well, it is what it is. We'll be fine....next man up. Stetson Bennett is a home grown, loyal Dawg til the end. And to all you sorry excuses for fans who are hating on Stetson, I can't stand your guts and don't want you being any part of us real GA Bulldogs football fans. Go find another team to cheer for. Try GA Tech or something.
UPDATE: UGA has a group of former fans who are being encouraged to enter the Transfer Portal. If your program fan base should need a boost, this would be a great addition to your school. This group has been following and rooting for UGA thru the last 5 seasons in which UGA has 5 top 10 finishes (4 top 3) and 5 top 3 recruiting classes. They are all likely more knowledgeable of football and coaching than any members of your current coaching staff. Names include Zcupps, steve1995, rumdawg, bigdog89, vetdog, BG522,T_Dawg, MickyR, GardenDawg, TNDAWG81, and prldawg, MGriff. The list is growing. Package deal. GODAWGS!
I hate to these guys go.
I want to see the strapping big new guys get their shots.
That said, somebody in one of the many reaction videos said of Stetson, "he loved Georgia more than it loved him". And he did it for us.
I agree with most of what you said. But you, and others, need to get something through your heads. Daniels did win the starting job. He did beat out Bennett. He then took on a couple of significant injuries, Bennett played well enough that, we can only surmise, Smart and Monken didn't see any need to rock the boat with another mid-season quarterback change, and the rest is history. In perpetuating this false narrative that Daniels some scrub who couldn't outperform a last-resort option at his position, you're just as guilty as every Bennett hater of needlessly bad-mouthing a guy who came here wanting to play for Georgia. Not only that, you don't seem to realize that you're also putting Bennett himself down in framing the situation that way.
Enough already. Liking one guy more, or wanting to defend him, is not license to trash the other. That's a two-way street.
It's just the system Kirby runs, we're more like the Tennessee Titans than the Kansas CIty Chiefs.
@earl_m: FACTS!
BAMA has put out 7-8 1st rounders in the past few years. UGA definitely lacking in the receiver area.
Jermaine Burton is a huge loss to our receiver room.
No one has any reason to criticize Burton. He was one heck of a receiver for us. Should be obvious from the timing of him entering the portal that he took the loss of JT Daniels seriously and had no desire to play with Bennett another year.
