@reddawg1 ...below is a an excerpt from a "DAWG POST" article, written in follow-up to this year's "Media Days". It's a quote from Kirby Smart, in response to a question, concerning Stetson Bennett.
I think it says it all. The question is, why didn't any of the reporters at Dawg Nation print the quote? Anyway...here it is:
"(Bennett) gives us the best chance to win the next game, and as long as he was the best one to win the next game, he was going to be the one out there,” Kirby said reflecting on staying with Bennett during the 2021 season. “There was thought among the staff that (Bennett) was the best guy at the beginning of the season. There were opinions that felt that way. It was not a consensus (that Daniels should start).” ****Kirby Smart quote from 2022 SEC Media Days on the 2021 QB competition****
Funny...MG and others keep insisting that Beck was the #2 QB last year, coming out of Fall Camp. Kirby Smart clearly refutes that assertion. It was always between Bennett and Daniels.
There's no way in hell, a Coach is going to replace a Starting QB after a Monday practice, as Dawg Nation sportswriters continue to assert. LOL Who knows why Beck ran with the #1's on the Monday before UAB, instead of Bennett. Maybe Bennett was slightly injured or hurt...maybe Smart needed to get Beck up to speed, cause he needed a qualified backup to Bennett...maybe it was motivational...or, maybe, it was all of the above.
What I do know...is that no member of the Coaching Staff, ever named a QB pecking order in the 2021 preseason. Going into, or coming out of the Clemson Game. After the Clemson game, Smart named Beck the #2 QB. He just didn't mention that, Bennett, the #2 QB going into the Clemson game, had been moved up to #1 after the Daniels injury.
Smart did, last year,, what Brian Kelly is doing this year.. He was intentionally vague, where it came to the QB pecking order. That seems to have confused the hell out of the Sports World. LOL
Your point on positive SBIV coverage NOT featured on DN is a good one, from my PoV (though I think I may have seen that quote...?). There's a lot of "reporters reporting on the reporting of other reporters" (😁) on this site, yet did we see coverage of CBS Sports naming Stetson in the Top 10 quarterbacks nationwide in 2022 (https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/college-football-qb-power-rankings-bryce-young-c-j-stroud-already-battling-before-2022-season-begins/amp/)? I don't think so.
BTW, if it WAS covered in a DN article I missed, profuse apologies (please send link). Regardless, on a fan page, it should have been headline news, especially when the negative gets full articles. Just sayin'...
Looking forward to kick-off in ~5 hours... engoy the game Dawgs fans!!!
Well...the final whistle has blown. What do ya think?
The first article written on a QB was by @MikeGriffith on Bo Nix. Believe it or not...not a single word on Bennett from MG.
In the first week of the season, JT Daniels' and Bennett's performance on the field, blew up Dawg Nation's assessment of the 2021-22 QB situation. On top of that, they continue to assert that Beck was the #2 QB going into the 2021 season, despite evidence to the contrary.
I think Bennet must have looked at somebody wrong, on the Dawg Nation Staff. LOL. Seems personal at this stage of the game.
This b***h already owes the 'Mailman' an apology!
