Frankly, UGA's QB situation is one of the most interesting in football right now.
They have Bennett, Mathis, Beck, Daniels, and Vandagriff signed for next year.
Daniels theoretically, if he has 4 good-great games, could grab NFL attention, although these would be games against watered down defenses like Miss State this last weekend. South Carolina for example will be playing UGA without their 2 best DBs, which UF had to go up against earlier in the season, and they're playing the Gamecocks after Muschamp was fired.
Mathis and Beck have to almost be for certain transfer candidates after this year. I don't see either one playing another down for UGA unless injuries crop up.
So if Daniels comes back, they have Bennett who is physically limited, and Vandagriff backing him up, who has never played a down of CFB. Which is basically the same situation they had coming this year, except Newman was their supposed starter.
The odd thing about UGA's team next year, is that their offense "should" be mostly free of question marks, aside from their OL situation, which could be very interesting because they lose Cleveland, and have young guys coming into the rotation similar to what UF had in 2019.
UGA will have a ton of questions on defense because they lose Jordan Davis, Eric Stokes, Richard LeCounte, Tyson Campbell, and Monty Rice. If you've watched their backups play for LeCounte, Davis, and Rice (who has played on/off the last few weeks), they are not impressive at all.
So essentially what UGA could be looking like next year is a version of what UF has looked like in 2019/2020 under Trask. Which would be very odd to see, because I see UGA struggling to run the ball, which hasn't been an issue for them under Kirby.

Bennett, Mathis and Beck are probably all gone.
Bennett because he knows that he will never play another down at Georgia unless there's an injury.
I've heard a lot of rumblings that Beck is very unhappy with the situation -- honestly, let's say that he isn't that good. D'Wan and Mathis have been absolutely fricking terrible. And instead of playing him, the guy Kirby recruited, he puts in a questionable JT Daniels with a bad knee.
A lot of Dwag fans said that Kirby was showing off his recruiting chops in the transfer portal by bringing in two transfers but we all know that it was desperation.
They may literally be down to just: Daniels and Vandagriff next year in their QB room, and Vandagriff is more of a project than Del Rio and Richardson.

I think the biggest difference is that Georgia doesn't have the creativity on offense that Florida had these last few years. We know that Mullen is an offensive wizard, and the biggest difference is:
Can JT pass on teams that aren't a Mississippi State team that's effectively playing with what's close to an FCS team numbers wise and I'd even probably argue talent wise.
Similarly: I have to wonder how much longer it is until Monken gets a shot at HC. You can see that he knows what he's doing, but that's normally why you prefer to have a really good offensive HC rather than defensive.
If Monken were to leave, how absolutely fricked would Kirby be? He doesn't even have a QB coach (Dan fricking Mullen has a QB coach).
They are going to have problems for at least the next five years, even if JT works out. Imagine if he gets what Bennett got next year, even if it's just one game, they're back to stage 1.
