Desmond Howard: ‘Pump the brakes’ on Stetson Bennett Heisman Trophy hype
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Desmond Howard has been impressed with Georgia football so far, but he says ‘pump the breaks’ on Heisman Hype surrounding Stetson Bennett.
Comments
But they prop up AR-INT who has had.....0 good games this year.
Desmond is just butt hurt about the little walk on qb who stomped a mudhole in big bad Michigan's backside
Yeah, isn't he the same guy who picked Pittsburg and Utah to be in his final four!?
Oh, and Texas A & M as well..!
Not sure of his prognostication credentials.......
Go Dawgs!
Also because Travon got picked over his Heisman runner-up last year. So to his words, Aidan played against "subpar" competition all year. Of course he could rack up stats. His great offensive line, the Joke Moore Award winner, looked like Swiss cheese against UGA. His fraternity, Desmond Howard never would've won that award in the SEC. Complete joke.
Agreed 1000%!
Its amazing how Hendon Hooker for example appears to be all world in his handling of the fast paced offense of Tennessee and, in the same conversation, he has a "wait and see" attitude for Stetson Bennett "cause its only been 3 games".....Wow!
Let's see, remembering correctly, Stetson led his team to a National Championship, whooping Tennessee in the process....Oh, yeah that's right....!
He also said that the Florida team that we saw in the first three games "is not the same one" as we will see tomorrow.... Why are they getting props!?
Finally, he does give credit for UGA "doing what they are supposed to do" against "sub par" competition....I guess the number eleven team in the nation should be considered sub par and that we should be glad that "we didn't play down" to their sub par level, Right!?.....Wow again!
So I guess Bama shouldn't get any credit for not "doing what they were supposed to do" in the Texas game, huh Desmond!?
Unbelievable! Talking Heads just want to make me punch something....
THIS ^^^^^^!!!!
Go Dawgs! and much to the chagrin of Desmond Howard and others like him......2021 National Champions!!
Does Howard have a vote?
Yea Desmond is routinely the least correct with his picks on Gameday, and has Pitt/Utah/aTm in his CFP selection. He has ZERO credibility with savvy fans anymore!
Okay, listening to Rece Davis REALLY calmed me down.
He was practically gushing in his effusive praise of Stetson!
Need to watch the imbedded video in the article....... the printed word just doesn't do it justice!
Go Dawgs!
The bitter in this guy is as bad as Danny Kanell.
Look at Desmond's pre-season playoff picks. That's all you need to know about this clown. Dude is more interested in firing off hot takes and seemingly going against the grain.
Desmond was a good player,but unimpressive in his assessments. Ask him about Bryce Young and I"ll gaurantee you he will rave about him. Hum.... NC QB with higher rating this season and you don't even want to consider him a viable candidate?ANd your reasoning is....? He's only had a couple of good games? Like beating the pants off your Michigan team and being the MVP of that game and the NC game. Just your average couple of good games? LOL!
Based on your post, I took the time to watch the embedded video (thanks for the heads up!). I loved listening to Rece Davis, esp. as that was probably the most animated I've ever seen/heard him about an individual player.
After watching that, I had to ask myself a simple question: if it was me writing, which sound bite would I make the lead of my article on DN's webpage, the Rece positive take or the Desmond negative? Pretty sure I'd have led with the Rece Davis quotes and peppered in Desmond's take as the secondary, contrarian opinion. Actually, I'd probably entitle it "College Game Day's Divergent Opinions on SBIV"... not choosing to have one highlighted over the other.
That's just me, but it does give one a bit of pause to think about personal perspectives as stories are shared... 🤔
Well-stated post!
I agree that a more ambivalent headline would have fit the article better, but maybe that would not have incited quite the "virulent" responses posed by myself and others in this thread!! 🤣🤣
This one got me, I have to admit!!! Also, I didn't realize I had misspelled "Rece" till I read your post!!! Thanks! I corrected it!! 😁
Go Dawgs! National Champions 1942,1980, 2021 and ????
