How damn good was Stetson Bennett?

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.

Bennett was the best QB in UGA history.
He is the epitome of why a dual-threat can make a huge difference in your offense. This importance is even more evident when you consider that Bennett was undersized even by college football standards. But he had everything else that matters: speed and quickness, the ability to move in and outside the pocket to give him time to survey the field and find open receivers. He developed excellent touch on passes but had a quick release and could zip the ball in there as needed.
But possibility his greatness asset was his ability to quickly assess the defense and recognize when he could run and pick up easy yardage. This is a killer for opposing defenses because they literally never knew when he was going to run or pass because he could just as easily stop and throw a quick accurate pass on the run when the opportunity presented itself.

That site sucks in general.

Our own dumbass fanbase and even some coaches cost him the Heisman. Why would the voters vote for someone whose own team doubted him so publicly.....
I would take him over Mayfield, Murray, and the dip shite USC guy who got beat by tulane.
We was a stealth 5 star, he was that good. 3 inches taller and ....

Hell, even the UGA coaches (Monkin) told he wasn't a starter.

LSU lit the Dawg defense up in the SECC too. Some 500 passing yards.

They started Dwan Mathis over him lol

People love sports because of the high drama, the stories, and the thrills of the ride. He gave us it all
It’ll never get better than the Stet dual national championships. At least for me
And thanks in large part to his shitty instinct haters on here that are always so wrong about everything that you can set your watch by it. F’n losers
Stet transcending and breaking the drought. Twice. Was the peak. What an exciting time to have lived through

They literally would rather have started a guy with a hole in his head before giving Stet his due.
It was insane. 20 years from now no one will even remember that happened. Few people today remember.
But it did.

Could make all the throws and then could do shite like this that we really have never seen at UGA before or after
