Shoot, You are soooooo correct!!! Over the past 2 seasons the coaches had Bennett pegged as a backup. He was #2 at the start of the 2020 season and came in to literally save us against Arkansas….and he started until he was injured against Florida. This past season he was #2 or #3 on opening day, but again came in to save the season when JT was injured. At some point fans need to realize SB hasn’t received preferential treatment by the coaches. He has EARNED the starting job by being prepared to take over when called upon. He seized the opportunities, never let go……and kicked a$$ along the way.
Yes I am implying that JTD could have done as well as SBIV vs AL in the CFBCG. Go back and watch the game again. The rest of the team carried him. JTD certainly could not have done any worse especially vs AL in the SECCG. SBIV was sacked 5 times vs AL in the CFBCG. For all his "elusiveness" he didn't "escape" the rush once. JTD could have read the D and gotten the ball out faster and avoided sacks. SBIV couldn't and took 5 sacks. His fumble alone in his own red zone almost cost UGA the game. SBIV was not impressive vs AL. Nor was his decision making. He luckily recovered 2 of his own fumbles and threw up passes (1 to McConkey, 1 to Pickens fade, etc) that could easily have been intercepted. He was lucky. He was a game manager on a great team that carried him. BYoung threw 2 INT's and still had a QBR rating 10 pts higher than SBIV in the game. If you think SBIV was more great than lucky in that game you are either looking through rose colored glasses or don't know much about football.
Can't wait to see the spring game to see what we have offensively. I hope we see some of our WRs that have been injured back in the fold and contributing. Also interested in seeing what the TEs Washington and Delp can do while Bowers is recovering from surgery. GO DAWGS!
Ya think Bennett could have scored more than 3 points against Clemson? In 2020 and 2021 Bennett averaged 27 points against great Bama defenses in 3 games……much closer games than even Justin Fields could do. That’s more points in each game than JT scored against the only teams he has ever beaten with winning records. I just don’t understand how some fans have this fantasy about JT’s abilities when he’s never really shown it in the past 4 seasons. Oh well, we can all have our opinions and we will never know who’s correct. All I know is SB led us to a NC and JT really couldn’t have done much better.
You're beating a dead horse chief. Do a little research. Google is right at your finger tips. Clemson's D was ranked #3 in the country statistically in '20 and returned 10 of 11 starters in'21. Loaded with highly ranked players at all levels. Bressee, Murphy, Skalski, Booth. Their DL was rated tops in the country. G TRatlege , UGA most physical OL, was hurt on the 3rd play of the game, An undersized Center WEricson played the rest of the game at RG with a cast on his hand. (The same WEricson that UGA had to bench after halftime and move Salyer to RG to probably save the game. AL was victimizing Ericson.) CVPG's 1st start at C. AND JTD gutting out a smart decision game while he was hurt. Everyone found out after the game that JTD was hurt. I don't need to fantasize about JTD's stat's. I have seen him play and throw, I have also seen SBIV play. Watch the game again. UGA played poorly for almost 3 Q's. Holding AL to FG's won the game. The team carried SBIV. Pretty much like it did all year. If SBIV doesn't miraculously cover his own (untouched) fumble in the 1st Q. UGA probably loses. Believe what you want. But you can't ignore the facts.
It just blows my mind that many of you think that if you supported one QB that you couldn't support the other.
For the record, I thought JTD was the better QB. But you have to trust the coaches. Was at the Natty and you had to wonder if Daniels was about to come in the game after the fumble. (And rumor is that if Stetson didn't move the team next time down - he was).
JTD did everything right at Georgia; including being a darn good teammate when he lot the job to Stetson. And to Stetson's credit, with everything riding in the 4th quarter of the Natty - he came up BIG. HUGE!
So let's be happy for Stetson and let's wish JTD well, and hope that he goes to WVU and just tears it up there; so we can pull for the kid in EVERY game he plays and then hope he goes on to a big NFL career. I still think he is the better QB; but that doesn't mean that I don't love and respect Bennett for being a DGD.
Georgia's offense has a chance to be record breaking this fall. Let's be excited about that and wish let's hope that Daniel's plays lights out somewhere else, preferably out of the SEC.
Yep, and Bennett finished #3 in the Country in QB ratings, was the MVP in both play-off games and led us to a NC. Seems like you are the one who is “cherry picking” stats to make your point. BTW, at some point folks need to face reality which is JT lost his job at USC to a QB who was ranked #82 this past season and left the team. At UGA he lost his job to an unranked former walk-on. I like JT, but I’m sick of the blind Bennett Bashers who struggle to make their point that JT is the greatest QB to ever play between the hedges. Hopefully he will stay well and succeed at his next stop because he is a good guy and remained loyal to our team.
Shootthehooch- "I am surprised at the teams that are interested in JT"
THink about what you said about the arm chair QB's "knowing more than Kirby" and now you seem to "know more" than these College coaches(several of them)apparently who would love to have JT as their guy. Oh the irony.
Oh please! Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Eat your crow. This tired argument is over. 🤣
Oh okay. It was ALL SBIV. The 14 guys invited to the NFL combine had nothing to do with it. Maybe in another 10-20 years you will understand enough about football to make an intelligent analysis son.
