“I don’t even know what to think right now. We have a lot of good players who make me look good. It’s special, This honor is all about my teammates and this team. I wouldn’t be here if we didn’t have the team that we have. This honor is for them. I understand what Coach Smart means when he says that success comes to those who don’t look for it or are too busy working to look for it. I have never thought about the Heisman. I just wanted to play quarterback at Georgia. I just wanted to play football. I’m thinking of the players and people who have been in this with me. Regardless of who wins, it’s a huge honor to be in this group. The wideouts, tight ends, running backs, offensive line, defense, coaches – I wouldn’t have this opportunity without them so a ton of gratitude for them.” -- Stetson Bennett

Anyone who has an issue with him being listed as a heisman finalist is retarded or an arse. Bryce overcoming OBrien alone should have got him invited. He carried Alabama this year.

He is not the best player in college football but it’s close. He is very good.

Nobody hates him. He's a good QB on a great team. Georgia fans perceive any comment other than "he's the best!" as "hate" or "disrespect"

Because assholes hate good guys. Especially the ones that don’t wear their colors.

Uhhhh, it wasn't a UGA fan that made the comment you are referring to, but don't let the truth get in the way of you vitriol.

Jesus, UGA peeps were usually the ones grinding him down. Is he the most physically gifted QB with the right measurables? No, but he isn't a game manager level either. People simply do not give him the credit for running a multiple offense with all sorts of tricks and almost always running it very well, and exceptionally well in big games.

Stetson Bennett deserves to be there and the statement is a damn good one.

All he does is win.

God, I remember back in 2020 when Bennett was getting his first starts, we played Auburn at home. I was perusing the Auburn 24/7 board and the best comment was something to the effect of….’We just got beat by a QB who looks like Screech Powers from Saved by the Bell and has a dip of Copenhagen in his lip on the sidelines.’

He has been attacked and questioned his entire career and he just keeps working and winning. Georgia has his back. He has earned respect and to see butt hurt rivals trashing him deserves a reply. And if they don’t like it, that’s too bad.
