    I think his Coaches and Teammates see it the same way Stet sees it. So, maybe he did respect em by saying what he said.

    Yep…..you and many others are spot on. I really like MG, but he knows he’s had Stetson’s number for 3 years. Bennet became a superstar in his first game that many fans have forgotten. He came off the bench with little to no experience running the team and pulled off a miraculous win at Arkansas after we were pounded in the first half. I’ve been a Bennett fan since that game when I realized very few QBs in UGA history could have pulled that off in their first game. For some reason MG was obsessed with JT and never could let go. Thanks Mailman for delivering and delivering and……. Go Dawgs!!!

    I wish Stetson the very best that life has to offer. I will always be grateful to him and All our Dawgs that brought these B2B Ntl. Championship trophies to Athens. It’s the stuff of legends. It truly is Great to be a Dawgs fan !! But now it’s time to start looking forward !! Threepeat !! Threepeat !! Threepeat !! Go Dawgs !!

    I have always been pro-Stetson. Even when he was getting a lot of passes batted down and a fair number of interceptions. I love a good underdog story. But being gracious costs nothing and looks good on everyone.

    I love that the underdog went out on top. I wish he would have also taken the higher road than others though. Best of luck to you Mailman. You’ll be a legend for sure and perhaps one day give the appropriate thanks to those that did support you, and even more so to those that didn’t.

    Listening to his words compared to the article- Stetson was just talking off the cuff. Sure he could have taken the easily out and said “his team mates”. At least he was sober! In context it really wasn’t all that.

    See...that's what Bennett was talking about, right there.

    He's never had a problem with batted passes...any more than any other top tier QB. And, I don't know what you're talking about with INTs. That's never been an issue, either.

    Go back 3 yrs and compare his STATs to the likes of Young, Stroud, Daniels and the rest. His INTs are pretty much in line with everybody elses...or better.

    What you are doing, is repeating "the narrative"...not the facts. There's a difference. Oh yeah...and his sack numbers were low, due to his pocket presence and mobility...as much as the o-line blocking.

    Lol...you just didn't appreciate what you had. But, you will.

    I think Bennett was talking to the Media, just didn't come out right, and he didn't say "screw you", he said "screw it", we got two championships, go back during the season, and it was the media that didn't believe Georgia could beat a good passing team, even the playoff committee dropped UGA to #3 in the first poll, they were a lot of doubters, they even gave Michigan the easiest route to the championship over UGA, they set TCU in the #3 ranking just so Michigan and Ohio State wouldn't have to play each other, not going to judge Stetson Bennett over some words on a stage, or him staying on his phone during the parade, not sure he was on the phone the whole time, because I saw him signing a football, seems like it's being over blown. Just my Opinion

    His speech after the NC game was a lot different than today’s. Bennett is his own person and he makes his own choices, but wow, what an attitude he displayed today. I’m not saying he owes fans anything, but a little courtesy would have been better than what he did today. Go Dawgs!!

    I'm gonna be honest last year I doubted the kid. He made me a believer when he threw that touchdown pass after that fumble. Ever since then I knew he was a quarterback. That guy went back-to-back with his teammates he doesn't owe anyone else any kind of explanations. Build him a statue, he did it. Hell of a run Bennett, go Dawgs

  • dazzledawgdazzledawg Posts: 244 ✭✭✭ Junior

    Lots of folks can’t handle public speaking. It was a little bizarre given the moment. Considering the guy is 26 years of age, I thought it was in poor taste. But, just my opinion.

    This! Well said. Mike never misses a chance to be passive aggressive in his writing about UGA. IF there is a negative spin, he will find it...if there isn't, he will create one. Mike, a Vol for life.

    He just turned twenty five, there, hot rod. In October, as a matter of fact.

    One thing I am curious about, though. Why did Bennett graduate High School when he was 19....and turned twenty, in October of his Freshman year (2017). Was he held back a grade, or was he just a "late starter.

    No wonder he turned 25 in his final year. BTW, I don't remember Chris Wenke's age (28) being brought up nearly as much as Bennett's, by the media....and, he WON the Heisman.
