So thadec, I still don’t understand your explanation (which is clearly malarkey) as to why Bennett wasn’t invited to play in the game until 10 days ago. In October when Nagy sent out most of the invitations Stetson had already been MVP in 2 playoff games. By midnight New Year’s Eve the mailman had won 4 MVPs, an SEC Championship, a national championship and 3 playoff games (all over a 12 month period) yet Mr Nagy still didn’t think Bennett was worthy of an invitation to the Senior Bowl. Only after the NC game and another (#5) MVP award did they finally grace the Mailman with an invitation. Personally, I would have rolled-up the invitation and mailed it back to Nagy with directions to insert carefully. Go Dawgs!!!
@BubbaBill
How does Stetson's jockstrap smell? Every incomplete pass/ INT is someone else's fault. Every bad game(20 something yards passing in the first against Auburn and GT) is the game plans fault. Every loss as a starter has some extenuating circumstance. What's the infatuation with a decent college QB with elite talent all around him?
Actually Clay, I don’t know and I’ll leave that **** stuff for you to do. FYI, go to the ESPN statistical leaders for the 2022 season and you’ll see most of those “elite” QBs you are referring to who are playing today are ranked below Bennett. Clearly you are one of those folks who will hate Bennett no matter what he does. I’ve never needed to make excuses for his bad games just like Bama fans don’t make excuses for their Heisman QB throwing 2 interceptions including a pick6 against our Dawgs in the NC game last year. Haters are just going to hate.

Here is the criteria for player selection to the Senior Bowl. Considering Stetson met none of the criteria prior to other, more likely to be drafted players being injured or or pulling out that were invited at his position, why would they have sent him an invite? He was predicted as a 5th round pick at best until recently , and only Kiper has his earlier. He didn't fit their criteria, homer glasses or not.
The Senior Bowl is not about college awards or stats. It is about likely draftees. Stetson Bennett has as much chance of being an UDFA as he does of getting drafted. When you are assembling 58 man rosters, you don't waste invites on pet projects or good stories.
@MikeGriffith
Lol...Speculation...Speculation...Speculation. Assumption...innuendo...rumors...Gossip. Seriously? Are things so slow in Alabama, that you had to write a story to prop Nagy up. And Pete Thamel? C'mon Mike. Those guys have been wrong more than they've been right...about Bennett and everything else.
I realize they are your sources and resident "experts"...and you guys just can't understand why Bennett isn't doing what YOU ALL think he should do.
Regardless...it's his call and I think you should respect it. You can play "Monday Morning Quarterback"...AFTER the draft. Why poke holes in Bennett BEFORE the draft?
Oh yeah...I know why. Because you have an axe to grind with Bennett. Maybe he didn't show you the respect you thought you deserved, on the practice field or in the locker room, last year...or the year before. Or it may go back to 2017-18, for all I know.
What I am sure of...is that Dawg Nation and ESPN would not be covering Bennett this way...if was a person "of color". Only "white guys" get this kind of negative press, based on a misdemeanor. What was the reason before that? Lol
"Bennett, 25, was reportedly looking for a friend when officers responded to a noise-related complaint at approximately 6 a.m. local time in Dallas last Sunday."____DN
You could've led the story with the above paragraph, instead of dropping it in casually as the last paragraph. That's the most "new information" I've heard all week.
The same thing happened to me...twice. Once, when I was in College I got lost on Sea Island/St Simon's, looking for a friend and wound up talking to the Police. Lol.
Then, again, in Va. Beach when I was in the Navy. 'Course I wasn't the only Sailor to have problems with the Police, in Va. Beach. One of our guys got arrested for "advertising without a license"...for wearing a Budweiser T-Shirt. Lol...they suspected him of doing something he didn't do and the charges were eventually dropped.
I'm going to stick with my initial assessment. Bennett has already played in 2 or 3 more games in 2022, than any of the other QBs at the Senior Bowl...with exception of Duggan.
With the connections he's already made, while at UGA, there isn't much, those NFL teams don't know about him and vice versa. Unlike a 21 yr old Jr. moving on to the NFL after 1 or 2 seasons...Bennett has been at the College level for six years and knows a lot of people coaching and playing, in the NFL. And, they know him.
In his current frame of mind, going to Birmingham would've been a mistake. It could've only hurt him. But, who cares right.? By-God, Dawg Nation and Dawg Fans, think he should've gone. Our way or the highway, Stet. Lol...give me a break.
He has nothing to show them that they haven't seen. After going through hell over the last few seasons and losing a close friend, to an accident 3 weeks ago...he may not be in the right frame of mind, to be in Mobile, answering a ton of questions everyday.
I don't understand the obsession with Bennett's "UGA-Afterlife". I never heard him ask anybody for pity or understanding. He's just a Football Player, that plays the game as well as I've seen ANYBODY play it. He needs time to decompress.
Unfortunately for him...he tried to decompress in Texas, of all places. Lol...should've gone to Gatlinburg, TN.
We're free to second guess his decisions...however, that doesn't give license to make things up, to create a story. Gossip. I think Nagy and Griffith are aggravated with Bennett for not being there to give them something to show, write and talk about.
Mike (etal.) probably pushed Nagy to invite Bennett and when Bennett turned Nagy down...well, can you say "egg on face". "Hell hath no fury, like" an embarrassed "expert" and "journalist".
See??? I can speculate, too. And, I'll bet my speculations are a lot closer to the "Truth", than theirs. Lol
Keep praying yall 4 GA, Stetson, Warren, Kirby, team, coaches and families of DW & CL. KEEP PRAYING PLS. Healing takes time. Forget PF & all the bama-worshippers and other teams who dont like GA and r a bit jealous. GA will overcome all this petty punditry. GA will heal and overcome, just keep praying.
DAWGMOM
Exact reason i quit watchin PF everyday.
FYI...Bennett isn't the only UGA player, not to play in the Senior Bowl today. McClendon didn't play, either. Guess that "burning fire to compete" (MG) wasn't burning any brighter in him than it was in Bennett, afterall.
Huh Mike? Lol
