Kirby could care less what we think or say....he is doing what Kirby does...constantly getting the best players for each position he can....that includes QB. I figure he has told Bennett...no guarantees....come back and compete...Stetson is doing just that. Caleb Williams? Have nopt hear word one on this. Arch Manning....no surprise there. Kirby is relentless...that is why UGA is national champ;
See, I love this kind of reasoned, full-spectrum thinking (from street0123) that includes all the relevant parties with minimal degrading of the various characters. I posted an admittedly over-charged post the other day (full disclosure: after starting and having to cut, paste to another app, rewrite the lost parts, and repost before getting refreshed SEVEN times before I could get that post finished, I was a bit hot-and-bothered by the process, which upon reflection affected my own tone... my bad on that one) about bias and re-hashing the same things over-and-over (as this article does)... I think the vast majority of DawgNation members may or may not have supported Stetson in the internal competition, but virtually every one of them backed him once on the field. I'm guessing same goes for JT, were the roles reversed.
Now, it's time to unite behind whoever comes out of the Spring/Summer as the (hopefully clear-cut) "winner" of the competition, and put personal biases aside once they're in the game. I have to say, for the people we now KNOW are on the roster (players and coaches), I personally have high confidence that UGA will have another strong run to the CFP... Go Dawgs!
(PS: this refresh thing has become so infuriating, I now go to my laptop (vs phone or iPad) to comment, as it's easier to save interim versions to beat the post-destroyer 😁😂)
Spot on!
"But Bennett also played bad enough to lose that game had the Bulldogs’ defense not held the Tide’s Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback to just one touchdown — at that, after a Bennett fumble at the 16-yard line."
Please stop disparaging Bennett's ability because he was the QB of a team with a great defense. The defense did its job by keeping Bama with its Heisman QB and four- and five-star receivers out of the end zone on 5 red zone trips. Somehow, in this article, that's a knock on Bennett. It's a team game and quite possibly the ultimate team game. Bryce Young played well enough to win that game if Bama's defense had kept this former walk-on QB and three-and four-star receivers from making plays when it mattered most but guess what, it didn't, and he lost.
I was JT all the way in 2020 since Smart actually thought Mathis was better than Bennett and then Smart benched Bennett when Daniels got healthy and Daniels being 7-0 as a starter and add to that Bennett's INT's against Bama in consecutive games, so yeah, I was in JT's camp UNTIL the Michigan game. In that game, Bennett shut me up about his ability in big games and shut me up about Smart's ability to deploy the right QB. Now, we're National Champions because of Bennett's pass to 3-star Adonai Mitchell, not the Bowers TD nor Ringo's pick six, those plays extended the lead, but Bennett and Mitchell gave us the final lead, and now I guess because Bennett was not 32-35 with 400 yards and 5 TD's we should be grateful for the defense in spite of Bennett. Stop it.
Very creative, timely, and the best post I’ve seen in awhile!
I was there in 1980 and I was there last week. This has been my team all my life. And I will never criticize the QB who brought us all another Natty.
I just believe though, that if we don't play our 5-star QBs, we soon won't have any 5-star QBs.
let's not forget to include @MikeGriffith
The one point that seems to get overlooked is age. Forget about volume of game experience, the fact that you have a 25 year old QB as an option vs the typical 19 and 20 year olds gives Bennett a leg up. Just based on maturity alone. Somewhat similar to the Brandon Weeden situation 10 years ago.
I think that I am going to have to stop reading MG because everytime I almost gag at his **** up to JT and disparaging Stet. If you want to read a balanced article regarding the QB situation check out Seth Emerson. Oops, forgot he moved UP and we got MG as a replacement. Guess The Athletic prefers pumpkin pie!!!
why are you even on dawgnation? You should just listen to the Kirby press conference and be done,since no one is allowed to criticize or disagree with any decision coach smart makes. I thought this was a website for fans to have a discussion about uga and were all gonna disagree about something but don’t know of anyone who is mad at Stetson for winning the championship. Guess if you have different views points than the coach were your not a true fan. Very weak.
I was there in 80 too.
We seem to do pretty good with QB's from South Georgia.
Maybe we need to go find another one.
That may be the most ridiculous post of all time….and it started with you commending MG for yet another totally biased article. He loathes Bennett and worships at the altar of St.JT. This is ridiculous. Young threw a record number of passes and averaged 6.5 yards per attempt, 1TD, 2 INTs, a pick 6 and averaged minus 12 yards per carry. Bennett averaged over 8.5 yards per pass attempt, had 2 TDs and no INTs. Also, Bennett had far fewer lost yards per carry and hit a higher percent of his passes. Give it a break and quit all this biased anti Bennett malarkey. He was our best QB this year and proved it on the field by annihilating every team he faced…including Bama after our entire team lost the SEC CG. There is little doubt in my mind that JT would NOT have been 14-1 this year.
I’m glad someone else finally saw that he was drunk during that interview. Thankfull that we won the NC, but Bennett fumbled the ball 4 times in that game, even though the one lost is debatable. He fumbled on the opening drive, fumbled the snap on the first TD and fumbled after being called down. Thankfully he didn’t lose any of those or throw any INTs. Go Dawgs!! I don’t care who is QB as long as we win.
Another fine passive-aggressive hack job by the AJC UGA beat writers. Please go back to TN where you love the home team and where your IQ is more on par with your UT readers.
