re: No fan of either program, but how on earth does Bennett get invited over Hooker?

The only reason Hooker isn't there is because he got hurt. That's it. Nobody with half a brain cell thinks Bennett is better than him. Bennett isn't even a top twenty player on his own team. He will be selling cars in Athens within five years.

He’s a better quarterback. He’s not being asked to throw it 50 times a game, he takes good care of the ball. Basically he’s Mac Jones. Capable of winning a game if he needs to, making sure he isn’t losing it if he doesn’t.

Stetson Bennett is not a better QB than Hendon Hooker nor is he as good as Mac Jones.

He simply can’t make the same throws those two do.

Bennett is an outstanding QB when operating a system that caters to his skill set and has a strong running game to take some of the burden. He has been great in Athens and deserves a lot of respect.

The offensive staff at UGA does as well for letting him be who he is without asking him to be someone he’s not.

But Bennett would not be able to do for UT what Hooker did this year, he simply doesn’t have the physical gifts to do so.

Stetson doesn't pass the look test and doesn't pass the stats test. What he does probably better than any QB is play well and win big games.

Two playoff games last year: 5 TDs, 0 Ints.
Tenn and SEC Champ game this year: 7 TDs, 0 Ints.
The Missouri game this year he completed his last 7 passes and led us to 2 4th Q TD drives to win it.

He won't win the Heisman, but he deserves to be in NYC (as does Hendon Hooker).

I’m aware the Heisman award is a joke but holy hell

It’s really because Georgia is the best team, isn’t it?


between hooker not being in NYC for the heisman, and Kroeger not being the Ray Guy winner, these awards suck

Google is cool.

Official Heisman language says the award goes to the “outstanding football player in the United States whose performance epitomizes great ability combined with diligence, perseverance and hard work.”


They should call it the Bennett trophy from now on.

We’ll maybe you should argue with the Heisman Committee because they agree. Bennett was invited and Hooker wasn’t.

I probably would have invited Hooker and left Bennett off, but what I think doesn’t count.
Neither does what you think.

This is the dumbest comparison I’ve ever heard. Mac was elite his senior year and not some game manager like you think he was
Give him Mac’s receivers and I wouldn’t be shocked to see similar results.

He got invited because these people had ballots and filled them out and Bennett got more votes than Hooker.

To be fair, and since you brought it up, George Rogers wasn’t the best player in college football and shouldn’t have won it in 1980. Kind of a lifetime achievement award for him back then.

Bennett - 13 games, 269-395, 3,425yds, 68.1%, 8.7 avg, 20TD(42nd), 6int(37th), 86.3 QBR(4th).
187 rush yards, 7td’s. 27 total TD’s.

Against Top 25- 65-85, 899yds, 76.5%, 10.6avg, 8TD’s

Hooker- 11 games, 229-329, 69.6%, 3,135yds(22nd), 9.5 avg, 27td’s(14th), 2ints(2nd), 89.4QBR(2nd).
430 rush yards, 5TD’s, 32 total TD’s

Against AP top 25- 129-185,1,738yds 69.7%, 9.4avg, 14TD’s, 2int,

Hooker had 6 games he didn’t play play in the 4th quarter.
Hooker had 2 games he didn’t play entire 2nd half.
Hooker played 2 less games total and still had better stats than Bennett in most every statistical category. If Hooker finish the season he beats has better stats than Bennett in every statistical category.

Hooker was the best player on his team. Bennett was not. Take out Bennett and UGA prolly still makes the playoffs. Take out Hooker and UT struggles to win 8 games.

Heisman isn’t about the best player anymore. It’s about popularity nothing else.

More of the 900 Heisman voters chose him.

cfbstats says your stats are wrong

Stetson is #1 in the country against ranked teams.

Lol
That is the funniest thing I have read all day.

Hookers senior season should be dedicated to heupel.
Look at the highlight reel.

Deep throws to wide open receivers with defenders 2 yards in trail.

Hell... that was stetson's highlight reel in 2021.

No offense to hooker. But he reads half the field. Often has 1 read. And his highlight tape is based 100% on scheme where he has a layup deep to hyatt.
