Agree! Vandergriff, could leave at any time this spring or summer. It sounds like many are OK with SB continuing....there is nothing wrong with being dependable when needed. I love my old Honda, reliably gets me to work and back safe. However, if I had a few sports cars in the garage it does not mean I am not taking them out for a spin! Let's give these exotic QBs in the room a chance show off what they have been doing during and in the off season!
I love how people and writers talk/opine as if they sit in meetings with CKS and other high-level coordinators. And how every pass completion by SB is because of great catches my receivers while with other QBs it's because of precision passing. I've said this before, CKS has NO incentive whatsoever not to play the people who put the Dawgs in the best position to win.
I'm genuinely curious to know based on some of the posts AND from @MikeGriffith article. I may've missed a recent direct QUOTE from CKS or CTM. Where is there a QUOTE something to the effect of "SB has the starting QB position locked up" or "there will not be equal reps for the QBs in spring practice"? @MikeGriffith article says, "Offensive coordinator Todd Monken recently made it clear to UGA insiders that while the position continues to be evaluated daily, there are no preliminary plans for equal repetitions being split among the returning Bulldogs’ quarterbacks." Was @MikeGriffith in the room? - nope. Does @MikeGriffith name an actual source? - nope. This is not a direct quote from GTM; rather, it is at best 2nd or 3rd hand and at worst a rumor.
Until you hear it directly from CKS or one of the coordinators, folks need to step away from the ledge and begin to realize there are no black helicopters circling above. CKS is in it to win it. The QB that gives us the best chance to win will be the quarterback.
BTW, would you really expect all the QBs to get equal reps in spring practice anyway? I wouldn't. Not realistic under any circumstance.
Pickens big catch was a little long, requiring a layout to catch vs in stride TD -- explosive play any way you cut it.
Bowers' TD was a wounded duck lobbed over a defender, Bowers had to jump to catch it -- check the tape, free defender off the edge coming in SB's face. Didn't take a sack. Didn't throw it away. Ball wasn't batted down (unlike BY's pass that Cine deflected). Made an adjustment. Touchdown.
AD Mitchell's td was late and underthrown and AD had to slow down and reach back over the DB. Lucky DB didn't turn around earlier, easy pick if he does -- SB sees the free play. Again, free defender coming from the edge - had to adjust away to set and throw (timing impacted for sure). AD makes great catch.
Basically SB was not good most of the title game -- neither was BY.
This is an absolutely ludicrous take.
National Championship winning teams do not lead themselves… I was still skeptical about Bennett following Auburn. I had a friend whose a former 3 year starter and another who I attended UGA with and played in the NFL for 5 years tell me - who had insider info from football ops staff - that the consensus was it appeared Stetson had won the locker room and JT had lost it.
Truth hurts but JT wasn’t the guy to get it done.
All due respect intended, I just highly doubt you and @StaffordSqDawg have any clue about the game of football.
In the peach bowl JT hits Pickens on a bomb where Pickens lays out and grabs it on an identical dive and it was a - great connection with tons of chemistry. With Bennett there’s bias .
JT plays horribly the entire Peach Bowl and turns it in the final two offensive drives and it “took us a while to get going”. But our O-line plays mostly terrible against Bama in pass protection and Stetson Bennett goes something like 6/6 in the 4th quarter making a TD pass in an offsides (the type of 50/50 balls Aaron Rodgers has become revered for) and it’s a great catch by WR/giveaway by the DB lol.
On the Brock Bowers TD Stetson proves he’s learning to adjust to unimpeded edge rushers and adjusts to float a catchable ball that wasn’t tipped as has plagued him and his TE walks into the end zone untouched due to their execution.
If these plays are any QB over 4star rating and over 6’1’’ we are worshiping the ground they walk on as fans. At the end of the day Stetson just isn’t the QB most fans envision leading our program and it drives them into biased craziness. It’s quite comical.
Stetson Bennett had the 40th most efficient passing season IN THE HISTORY of college football last year. Of the players ranked above him, nearly 90% all are 1st or 2nd round draft picks, future hall of famers and 4-5star recruits.
I’ll be here to fact check you bozos next year as Stetsons leading this team to victory and you and “your type” wallow in your misery - refusing to enjoy it.
PS - I challenge you to compare JT’s stats from his post season effort last year to that of Stetson in his postseason this year (against MUCH STIFFER opponents mind you). The proof is in the pudding lol. The pudding just isn’t the brand you like.
Sorry Pal…..15-0 shows your bias and was not a possibility because JT was injured for multiple games. He has actually missed more games than he has played over 4 years due to numerous injuries. I also question your claim that JT was a better leader than Stetson. Really??? That’s certainly not what I’ve been hearing from the players and coaches, but maybe you have knowledge of some top secret inside information that hasn’t been divulged to the general public.
"JT plays horribly the entire Peach Bowl"
You just lose any cred you might of had when you say sh^% like that. 26-38 with 400 yards passing- and that what you call horrible? THat just shows complete and utter bias.
He was harrassed all game with not much running game to help him out. 67 yards rushing? Is that good to you?
@Ddavis0777, are you pointing your comment "All due respect intended, I just highly doubt you and @StaffordSqDawghave any clue about the game of football" at me? Based on what I read of your post, we are on the same page. Go Dawgs.
