Stetson Bennett wins Manning Award as nation’s top quarterback
Georgia quarterback Stetson Bennett bagged another major award on Monday, as he won the Manning Award. The award goes to the nation’s top quarterback as judged by the Sugar Bowl and takes in bowl performances as well, whereas most awards do not.

I watched Brock Purdy yesterday and SB could do what he did in that system.
It's great to see Stetson get this recognition. Well deserved.
So NOW does he qualify for the College Football HOF?
Congrats Stet. Well deserved.
Unfortunately, no.
Excellent!!
Awesome. An award that actually considers all the games before they decide on the winner. If the Heisman did the same, I think Bennett would've been more than deserving of that award as well.
I fully agree. Way to go Stetson !! And might I add that that was a classy statement by Archie Manning to. I am and have always been a Dawgs fan first, but I will say I held admiration and respect for Archie Manning when he played. Still do. Stetson will go down in UGA history right along side of Herschel, perhaps even greater now, as one of the greatest Dawgs in history.
Looks like the Mannings know an Elite QB when they see one, unlike other professionals.
@reddawg1 Yes Sir he could !! I don’t normally watch or care about the NFL. I was channel surfing tv and just happened to land on that, so I thought well I’ll watch a little. And Yes absolutely as I watched Purdy operate I kept thinking Wow Stetson could do this !! And actually with all due respect to Purdy, with NFL practices, and after gaining some real NFL game experience, I think eventually Better than Purdy. Course I realize the proof would be in the pudding as Stetson would once again have to prove himself. But I can easily envision Stetson in that type of O !!
Absolutely no doubt about it!
Why no Senior Bowl invite?
Way to go SBIV! Senior Bowl invite next?
Well deserved! And should've won the Heisman. Now go torch those NFL defenses, Stet!
Congrats Stet! Finally getting the accolades you deserve! Good luck in the NFL.
Congrats to Stetson. Hey Archie, you couldn't help us out over here with a little influence on your nephew? Obviously, UGA produces champion quarterbacks. Go Dawgs!
No truer words were ever written....the Heisman is awarded too early and the lazy members on the committee look at glitzy stats....in this years case, accumulated against cupcake competition. Stats be damned, there is only one stat that need to be considered.....as a TEAM player, did you lead your team to win championships! Thus you were the BEST college football player in America.
Recognition as the BEST college football player in America, has finally arrived and is well deserved, CONGRATS STET.....in my heart you were always the BEST!
Agree with you and @reddawg1 ... the whole time I was watching Purdy, I was thinking that SBIV could achieve a lot in such a setup. Today's NFL has such a variety of QBs that are completely different, but they thrive in appropriately-constructed offenses. I also think Stetson profiles as having the potential to be like another Louisiana hero: Drew Brees. Both great scramblers who are/were sometimes underestimated.
On a related note, huge thanks to Conner for turning comments back on for his recent articles... I like seeing DN posters' thoughts on these things as much as the (really good, BTW) articles from Conner et al 😁
