I have NOTHING against SBIV. Not sure where that comes from. I rooted hard for him to succeed. Pointing out that he is inconsistent and aided by elite teammates is not a slam on him. It is reality that half(?) the fan base fails to acknowledge. If you say you didn't hold your breath every time he dropped back to pass in a big situation you are lying. He had some very reckless tendencies that he thankfully improved on. CKS kept him on a short leash. Remember the side arm sling (before halftime?) vs LSU in the SECCG? THANKFULLY fell to the turf. But SBIV immediately looked over at the sideline to acknowledge to CKS "My bad. Won't do that again". Even the announcers said as much.
The JTD/SBIV debate was 2 years ago. SBIV got better. JTD stayed hurt and left. But to reach the summit of CFB UGA had to beat AL. SBIV was 0-2 vs AL and not protecting the ball. He still displayed some recklessness w/the ball. Not sure what CKS said to him but would have loved to have been in those meetings. But CKS broke him (barely) of that habit that was holding UGA and him back.
There were questions by many whether SBIV could beat AL after his performance in the SECCG. Remember UGA trailed AL for more than 3Q's in the '21 CFBCG. UGA's D kept UGA in the game long enough for AD to wrestle the ball away from an AL defender in the endzone and BB to take a TE screen for a TD. The game was not put away until KRingo's pick6. SBIV impressed me with eliminating his mistakes and managing the best team in the country to CFBC's.
Personally, I will take a mobile QB over a pocket statue (not Beck) every time. That's why I favor BVG in the next QB battle. Historically, QB's like Roger Staubach and Steve Young kept drives alive being able to scramble for 1st downs. Even more important now with the speed and athleticism of todays defenders.
