We’ve probably all seen it but this highlight reel of Stet is so fun to watch. It’s amazing to think that throughout this time we still had fans bitching about how he wasn’t the “guy” and we needed somebody else.

Watch this … it’s good for the soul if you’re a real UGA fan.

He wasn’t exceptional at any one thing, but he was consistently strong across the board. It was the little details that set him apart—like the way he put extra air under his deep passes, giving receivers time to adjust and come back to the ball.

Pretty d*mn good. One of the more amazing stories in college football in my lifetime, imo.

I remember reading on Twitter people were mad he was coming back to school in 2022. Crazy to look back. And then compare he's college and NFL career to the loser JT. Embarrassing it was even a competition

To win championships in college football now, you need to have a QB who can win a shootout. You aren't just going to be able to smother everyone on defense, run the ball, and not turn the ball over. That doesn't cut it anymore.

Stetson's 4th quarter against Ohio State was legendary stuff. That OSU offense played out of their minds that night and had our defense spinning in circles. He had to be damn near perfect to pull off that rally and he was. The ball he threw down the seam to Kearis Jackson is one of the best throws I've ever seen from a Georgia QB.

It was so pervasive that I received a PM from admin at TalkinDawgs warning me to stop trolling because I was sincerely posting my opinion that Stetson Bennett looked like a changed man from 2020 and doubted we'd ever see JT again. I wasn't trolling, and I was 100% correct, but the idea that Stetson sucked was so ingrained that admins at a popular site actually threatened to ban me for saying Stetson was good. Football fans are no different than Covidian Karens when they get their narrative, they stick with it.

The Bama championship game was to me his signature game. He made us all pull our hair out after that “fumble” but then came roaring back to win.

His comment later about not going to lose because of him was peak Stet.

Stetston Bennett would be a great research paper for some psychology student in cognitive bias and the Sunk Cost Fallacy. Too many Dawg fans refused to give him credit all the way up to the end because they they felt strongly that JT Daniels should've been the guy in 2021, and giving Bennett credit would've been admitting that they were wrong.

Sunk Cost Fallacy: A component of commitment bias, where you continue to hold an opinion because you have already invested significant time, energy, or ego into defending it.

That's obviously a good one, but the fourth quarter of the Ohio State game was the one for me. 11-12 for something like 180 yards and 2 TDs.
