Yeah. It's a mystery to me why the negative buzz around the guy. Used to be he was too small and had no arm. Then he had a great team around him. Now he's too old. His stats compare with the buzzy QBs. I don't have the stats on his long ball, but he had quite a few, m'rite? The "too small" thing is no longer relevant because we all see that bryce the heisman guy is now recognized as being small. And, didn't bryce have some pretty swank guys around him? I'm no expert, but after watching some of bryce's pro days, I heard a lot about how bryce does a bunch of stuff to "overcome" his size issue. Didn't SB4 do that, as well? I guess I'm no expert...
So SBIV should be drafted, based on stats and combine performance, in the 1st round- but that probably isn’t gonna happen. So someone is playing opossum and will try to steal him in round 3 or early 4.
Looks like there could be somewhat of a bidding war on SB. Good for him. THere is just such a shortage of QB's in the NFL. Look at what happened at San Fran.
whichever way the wind blows.....
So Mike. Was SBIV's performance in the win over Ohio State not marquee enough for you?
@bogarttad
Why when it wasn't enough for Stetson Bennett IV or Kirby Smart?

"The story of Bennett’s incredible journey — from walk-on, to junior college transfer, to fourth-string backup at Georgia and ultimately championship quarterback — is on the verge of a new chapter. Bennett’s next step will be into an NFL locker room where he will look to make the most of whatever chances are ahead. It’s a good sign that some NFL teams, with the draft a month ahead, are interested in learning more from Bennett about his story." - Mike Griffith
Thanks MG for your usual professionalism with reporting on Bennett. It is always appreciated!
So, there are supposed UGA fans not happy for SB? LMAOL!
