FYI I entered the USC fan portal in Feb of this year, and I am looking for a place to call my new team and I am considering the Dawgs. Regarding the QB situation at UGA, I think Bennett is a great story. Classic underdog who never gave up to become a starter at UGA. They make movies about these kinds of stories. He is someone to look up to in what he has overcome. I love The Postman handle. But, alas, I have had the opportunity to see JT in all the 12 1/2 games he played, as well as film from his high school years, and he is special. Great stories like Bennett, are just that, great. However, great stories don't win NC's, great athletes do. JT is a great athlete. If he fully recovers, he may be, maybe the one to lead you to a NC. I took particular notice to Coach Smart's statement earlier when he said, "Ultimately, we think Stetson gives us the best chance to win, RIGHT NOW (emphasis added). The "right now" part is a qualifier. I believe that qualifier is about JTs potential recovery. If JT is not fully recovered, then does anyone know who recorded, "Money For Nothing"? FWIW

Will take more than one post to convince us.

Obligatory: pics of gf/wife demand or gtfo...

Don't stink up the place and generally most people are welcome-ish around these parts.

I am born and breaded in the South. Lived in Atlanta for 3 years, 1977-1980. Got to see that great 1980 UGA team with Herschel (sp?)

I wouldn't say we're in dire straits (sic) with the mailman's custom kitchen delivery.

Based on his time at USC?

Ok

He might be, but not sure what you saw at USC that made him special.

Yes, because I have seen him play. Have you? The only thing I have seen on this board about JT is people posting simpleton stats of passes/interceptions and a 5-7 USC record that somehow explains everything. There's is more to football than that. JT was behind the worst O line in USC history who specialized in "look out" blocks and with a center who couldn't snap the ball. That O line caused JT's injury, and injury to his backup, Kedon Slovis, who had to sit out a game. Its hard to pass accurately when you have to chase down the snap, then run for you life while D linemen are breathing down your neck. The O line was so bad, SC only got 9 rushing first downs in the last six games (that's half a season for those mathematically challenged). You, on the other hand, have a QB who has thrown 5 INTs the last two games and should have had at least two more intercepted. That's just based on what I have seen.

I’ve watched him play in person. He was fine.

He has talent. No denying that. I expect him to start for us next year. But coming off a knee injury, when he already had some struggles with stepping into his throws is not great.

Yes, USC’s o line needed work. But he didn’t help them out a whole lot either. He made some bad, bad throws. Not that Stetson doesn’t. He does. I just haven’t seen the special stuff yet. Hope he gets there.
