Well hate to hear this for 2022 but it will give both Brock and Gunner a chance to better develop and have more reps. I think Stetson returns for sure now and will compete against Brock with Gunner redshirting, and of course Beck goes portal. Stet will be the starting QB unless Brock puts on a clinic in practice, even then the job is Stetson's to lose. QB room has now become much more simple which is a good thing although I would have liked to see JT play next year. I think this also proves that CKS just didn't have faith in JT for some reason or he would have likely stayed. My bet is for JT to return to the West Coast somewhere so he can sling it. SEC options might include Auburn, KY, and LSU. Best wishes JT...wish it would have turned our differently for you.
I believe you are correct about Beck in the Tech game. Thanks.
My crystal ball says (sorry I’ll get some negative responses for stating the truth, but some folks just can’t handle the truth)
JT has all the HS awards possible, but he couldn’t stay healthy at UGA and USC
JT would have been sacked NUMEROUS more times than Bennett against Bama
JT couldn’t perform well against the only 2 teams he faced with winning records (3 points against Clemson and 1 for 11 on 3rd down conversions in the Peach Bowl)
JT left USC because he knew he couldn’t beat out Slovis who finished this year #85 in QB rankings
JT is leaving UGA because he was rarely healthy and was beaten out by a walk-on
JT seems to run from competition
I wish someone with some detective skills could investigate as to whether the reason JT did not play had everything to do with Stetson being the better fit or did something happen between Kirby and the parents of JT or JT himself to cause him to fall out of favor with the HC. Would be nice to have some closure on what happened.
I hate to see JT go, but I certainly understand - he will likely find a better situation elsewhere.
Carson Beck is probably on his way out next and I wouldn’t blame him.
Honestly, I think the UGA QB situation would take a leap forward if Stetson also decided NOT to return next year. This would force Kirby to play and develop the more talented Brock Vandergriff.
Never like to see one the pre-season favorites for the Heisman transfer. I understand why he might transfer. I know I would after the way things have been handled for him. Wish him well.
Has anyone else heard about Caleb Williams? I heard that he is still looking at UGA as USC is nowhere close to championship level.
Another I love JT article with excuses, new line, hurt receivers, etc. Think Sete played with the same group. And the idea that Stet only averaged 32 ppg is meaningless unless you prefer passes over wins. And oh by the way Stet is fourth in the nation in passing efficiency ahead of Caleb Williams and Bryce Young and is the only starting QB with a national championship ring!! Fact is JT, who I like and appreciate, got beat out and you can’t paint it any other way.
Yeah, it was a little strange the way the JT situation unfolded or never unfolded this year.
Give credit to Smart for somehow keeping what really happened quiet.
It's actually stunning with social media the way it is that we just got zero, nada on JT. Still don't know what really went on.
I doubt Beck leaving will upset anyone. If he leaves.
I'd rather have BVG & Gunner.
I love how you are sitting here critiquing a coach that won the NC just over a week ago. Kirby's current problem is needs more room in his trophy cabinet! You must be a real blast at parties...
I agree with what you wrote. Except 1 thing. Not to be Mr. Negative, but in what game do you remember Kirby EVER giving the backups more reps in throwing the ball? I'm sorry, take away the 4 cupcakes, Clemson, and NC game, UGA won or loss each game by 17 points or more. Every one of them. And backups either didn't play, or they did nothing but hand the ball off. 1 or2 passes in a couple of games, really does not count.
Like I said, I'm not bashing you over your comment, just pointing out the fact that UGA is behind some teams with backup preparedness. Why do you think when Ala starts a new qb, they always seem to be the best. Because the year before as a back up, they averaged around 10 passes per game, even in closer then usual games. Go back and look at what young did last year when Jones was the starter. And what Tua did when Hurts was the starter. And Jones when Tua was the starter. That's the secret. Kirby needs to stop worrying about being ahead by 17 and trying to run the clock out,and see if the backup qb can score another 14.
But until he does, there is just no proof that he will.
GO DAWGS!!!!!!
Mr. Daniels, I want to thank you for your contribution to winning the national championship. I am one who believes that every person involved with the team had to contribute in practice to ensure that those who actually played in the games were as good as they could be. That took giving effort in practice equal to or greater than game time effort, whether you were in drills or on the scout team, or during any other team activity. Even with that, Mr. Daniels, you were doing even more on the sidelines of games, lending your eyes and knowledge to SBIV. What a team player you were this year. And, at least for me, I was less worried about an injury to SBIV, knowing that even without much playing time later in the year, you would be ready to enter if needed, having kept your "head" in every game. Selfishly, I wish you would stay, but I realize that you must make decisions that are best for your future. If you test the waters of transfer and decide to stay, I will be extremely happy. If you decide to transfer, know that I ( and many others ) will always consider you a DGD. Thank you again.
Most of what you call "truth" is myopia and speculation.
"JT would have been sacked NUMEROUS more times than Bennett against Bama"
So, what - 8, 9, 10 sacks? More? Of course this means Daniels wouldn't have been getting the ball out more quickly than Bennett did. And you know all of this, how?
"JT couldn’t perform well against the only 2 teams he faced with winning records (3 points against Clemson and 1 for 11 on 3rd down conversions in the Peach Bowl)"
Putting aside the use of one statistic, in which Daniels generally excels, to make your point, I'll concede that the Peach Bowl wasn't a great game for him. He still threw for almost 400 yards and led a last minute game winning drive against a solid defense that was very clearly craving a win, with no help from the run game. That game was his floor, when healthy. The circumstances surrounding the Clemson game have been explained too many times to count, and it's clearly falling on deaf ears, so I'll move on.
"JT left USC because he knew he couldn’t beat out Slovis who finished this year #85 in QB rankings"
Just completely bypassing the circumstances that applied at the time he left that program. If you had a valid point to make here, you wouldn't need to so blatantly cherry pick.
Look, if you want to comment on Daniels durability, that's a perfectly fair and reasonable point. He has been injured a lot. But you go way beyond that.
I've always felt like Daniels is overall the better quarterback. But I also can be happy for the guy that ultimately got the job, and that the team was able to win a championship with him. I've never been one to play the "real fan" card, but as far as I'm concerned, bad mouthing one of the players for no other reason than that you like his backup more is inexcusable.
I would hate to see JT transfer to an SEC opponent especially to an East division school that could prove ominous say if he went to Tennessee or Kentucky. 😎
