Well, if you go that route, let's say your girlfriend broke her leg and can't dance so you dance with her best friend (with her permission). When your girlfriend's leg is healed, do you dump her for her friend or do you go to the next dance with your girlfriend?
I have never agreed with losing your job due to injury. Daniel's has not been given any real game experience since Vandy, which I do not understand. And it's not like we have been in close games.
Point taken... However, do you really think it's a good idea to put JT in as starter when he's NOT had the practice reps needed to be his best. If he was completely healed of the injury, and he had the reps then I might agree. Lastly, look at SBIV stats and compare them with other top SEC QBs.
Nuff said... Go Dawgs!
I never said he should be immediately inserted as the starter. I said he has been given no opportunities in games. You cannot you explain the Charleston Southern game and certainly not the tech game. These were prime opportunities to get him in and playing in real games. If Daniels had started the tech game, he’d have been pulled after the first quarter yet Bennett goes the full game.
That just does not make any sense at all.
Daniels was injured in what has been called a fluke in practice when he wasn’t even supposed to be touched. That fluke keeps him out, basically, an entire season. I gotta believe he hates the player that bumped into him.
So I assume you must be impressed with JT throwing for 130 yards on 30 attempts against Clemson since you are focused on yards per attempt. Or maybe it was his INT in that game or that our offense scored 3 points. Wow…..3 points and you think he would score enough to beat Bama….like 42?
You clearly act like you know everything about JT’s injury and recovery. Why are you so confident that it was just Kirby being a jerk and not playing him. I assure you the coaches attend all the practices and know light years more than we do. There is definitely some other reason he hasn’t been playing and we don’t have a clue. Maybe he didn’t want to play in those games or limit what he did. I don’t know and neither do you.
FIX YOUR SITE, GUYS!!!!
Some folks just would rather post silly comments than read what they are criticizing. I believe every single one of my posts in this thread had to do with Daniels getting no playing time after losing the starting job in contrast to how he was pulled in every blowout when he was the starter. When I did mention yards in a game it was in reference to saying that 300+ yards was impressive and even gave that same credit to Bennett.
And only one quarterback on our current team has lost to Alabama twice did not look great in either and played the full game both times.
Not sure where you gleaned that I “clearly” knew about JT’s injury. Every post has mentioned him getting no playing time in blowouts.
That “only” QB on our team who didn’t look great against Bama played light years better last year than Justin Fields against that same Bama team. Also, you experts who keep saying that Bennett is 0-2 vs #1 Bama fail to mention in the only games JT has played against teams with winning records (ranked #19 and #9) he was 2-0, BUT, he would be 0-2 if Pod hadn’t hit a Peach Bowl record FG and our defense didn’t score on a pick6 against Clemson. In your fantasy world, JT would have scored 1400% more points than he had against #19 Clemson and miraculously defeat #1 Bama 42-41. Go Dawgs!!!
Justin Fields? What? He was in for,like, 2 plays against Alabama. And if you look, I actually did say anytime you get 300+ yards it is impressive. regardless of QB name.
I'm not quite sure what your issue is because you really seem to have this strange infatuation with trashing Daniels and lauding Bennett. I did not trash Bennett nor did I sing Daniels’ praises. I did, however, question the rotation of QBs in a blowout.
I really could not care less about your thoughts since you seem to have this “selective reading” that you have accused me of. If I did care, perhaps you could enlighten me with your thoughts on why Bennett plays every snap in a blowout win and the number 2 QB doesn’t touch the field. Heck, I’ll even go with the premise that Daniels is hurt and can’t so, if that was the case, why doesn’t Beck see the field? Or even Vandagriff?
I can think of no other situation with UGA where that has been the case. No other QB we have had has done that, that I recall. Maybe he has but I don’t recall.
And again, it was Daniels’ drive that gave Podlesney the opportunity to kick that record breaking field goal. It certainly wasn’t the running game. He ran 8 plays for 44 yards in under a minute and a half under incredible pressure. And despite what you seem to believe, Cincinnati was not a cupcake, unlike our regular season this year. Neither was/is clem(p)son.
And LOL-ing your own posts is sad.
Ooooops, sorry pal, I forgot Justin Fields lost 2 games vs Bama. Last year when he didn’t play even slightly as good as Bennett and then years before in the SEC CG when he totally choked the fake punt that would have worked. That one cost us the game and the playoffs, but it’s history. My angst is with the clowns who constantly tear down Bennett with totally ridiculous claims. Example: you and your fellow Bennett Bashers will say incessantly that Stetson ONLY scored 24 points each year against #1 ranked Bama teams, but fail to mention your boy only scored 22 points against #9 Cincinnati and 3 points against #19 Clemson. Hmmmmm
I would tag this as "Off Topic" because nothing you said about my posts was remotely true.
Also, Justin Fields did not play 2 games against Alabama. He played 2 PLAYS against Alabama. The quarterback prior to Daniels that played Alabama was Jake Fromm who had it won till a breakdown by the defense AFTER Alabama made a change to QB, which has been my entire argument.
I did NOT bash Bennet about total points or anything else. What I said was, Daniels needed playing time in blowouts.
Reading is Fundamental.
Sorry Pal about your short term memory issues. This year (January ‘21) your buddy Justin Fields threw for 1 TD and less than 190 yards passing hitting only 50% of his passes. He ONLY scored 24 points against the same Bama team that Bennett scored 24 against. Only difference is Bennet lost 41-24 and Fields lost 52-24…….Now you know.
