The DBs had a bad day on Saturday, but pass defense includes the front getting pressure on the QB and the secondary covering. QBs can't throw deep without getting time. The Dawgs pass rush was anemic in the second half and has been bad all season without a DB blitz. I'm much more concerned with the lack of pressure on the QB than the coverage of the DBs. The dawgs have talent in the secondary, they don't have a legitimate pass rusher outside of Carter and it's easier to neutralize an inside rusher than an outside rusher.
Man, y'all need to get a life other than all this complaining when all that is happening is WINNING! Oh and when it comes to high powered passing games, just think back to, hmmm, I don't know, the Tenn game... Just win baby! And that is what Kirby has the guys doing! Over and over and over. While y'all keep on complaining and stressing and worrying and whining lol. Poor babies.
First and foremost y'all should be THANKFUL that we got passed on like that...it was a wake-up call that will be corrected where needed. Secondly, and I PROMISE YOU, there WILL BE A PASS RUSH. We was up 35-10 fellas, it wasn't like it was close and we just rushed 4 and let them get within one score or took a loss! No,we rushed 4 with a huge lead. Why? For a few reasons but mainly because we COULD! If the game was close, we would have been blitzing like usual. Just chill bros. It's still all good. All good...
I'll pile on a bit with your point, but maybe not even going to whether this is a "fan site" or not: in any neutral (aka "objective") site, I'd find it hard to believe that an article about the results of a conference championship would have a lead photo featuring the loser scoring. Way beyond DN, I'd be pretty surprised if ESPN, SI, CBS Sports, etc. did so.
My two cents...
These are really good points... and what better way for these guys to get real-time experience that, with the help of their coaches and seasoned teammates, should help them do better in the CFP :)
Final point (I promise!): Ladd McConkey got injured in the CFP, so his stock is even? I thought he was pretty darn good until he had to sit the rest of the game out
I sure Hope Ladd will be back 100% by Dec.31 He had some rough times in some games but he seemed to be coming on really strong. Especially to have been dealing with tendinitis in that knee. Hopefully he’ll be OK. I wonder how bad McClendon’s injury is ?? An MCL can be slow to come back from even if minor as I understand it.
How about more context? Clemson was ranked #2 in the country and had 1 of the top (3?) defenses in the country. LSU has the 48th ranked defense in the country. Plus JF played most of the game with broken ribs after missing 1 play.
Interesting that you brought up Beck and the portal. Given all the QB’s jumping into the portal today, there may not be a landing spot for Carson. My guess is that he stays and BVG goes elsewhere.
Stetson Bennett...Heisman Finalist.
I told @MikeGriffith last year, this could happen. Bennett had the ability and the tools. Then, in the Spring, I told him Bennett would be a top Heisman Candidate by the Florida game. He couldn't pound the JT Daniels drum any louder...then the Beck drum...then ???. What Mike...time to dredge up "ye Olde Justin Fields Controversy"? LOL
Just give-in Mike. The kid beat all of you...on top of the rest of the competition. Lol...Bennett just wouldn't go away and eventually persevered...twice. The very definition of "A Winner"...nay..."A Champion".
Stetson is one of the best stories in recent CFB history, there is no doubt about that!
To hell with "his story"....he's a **** good Quarterback...(Period).
That's what I see. The story's good too, though. Lol
I've seen the almighty STATS of all 4 QBs and what I don't see, included among those STATS, is "Number of Plays" or "Game Time Played".
I would think that if you were going to compare numbers, you would want to look at all the data. Otherwise, how could you possibly know how much weight to give each STAT for each player?
I'll give you an example...Let's say...
You are looking at 2 QBs to compare performance.. "QB-A" & "QB-B"
QB-A....Throws for 200 yds, 2 TDs, 7 of 10 passing (70%), 25 yds rushing on 2 attempts, 1 rushing TD, Zero Sacks....left the game early in the 3rd QTR
QB-B....Throws for 450 yds, 3 TDs, 1 INT, 1 Fumble, 30 of 50 passing (60%), 60 yds rushing on 9 attempts, 2 rushing TDs, 6 sacks....played all 4 QTRs
My question would be this...
Which quarterback had the biggest impact or played the best?
Have any of you guys watched all 4 QBs, all year long??? I have, and, in my opinion, Stetson played at least as well, if not better than all of them. The only guy, other than Bennett, that I thought, should have been given serious consideration, is Bryce Young. I thought Young looked better this year, than last year.
Of the 4 QBs selected, I don't think Williams belongs in their company. He did not impress me. I watched him this year with a certain expectation. You know, the one you get when you listen to BS HYPE and IMO, he did not "live-up". I think Williams spent more time and effort on having a Heisman moment (which never came, Lol), than he did on beating the opposition.
At the end of the day, The Heisman is supposed to go to the "best player"...not the "player most likely to succeed". Bennett isn't "likely to succeed"...he HAS succeeded, already. And, Duggan, Young, Williams and Stroud have been striving to catch-up to him.
BTW...Some of you may be interested....JT Daniels has entered the portal and may return to UGA.
