Mathis also struggles what has turned out to be a pretty good defense


And Stetson didn’t.

If you’re going to give Mathis a pass for that performance, you can’t discredit Stetson for how he played in that game.

Amazing that Kirby can’t see how Bennett is holding this team back. Or our QB room is one of the worst in history.

Daniels stats and Stetsons are very comparable at this point.

Daniels also does not have the locker room. Again, I’m fine with Dwan if you want to make the switch to someone else


5 turnovers and zero touchdowns is worse than Daniels.

You have no idea who has the lockeroom.

What is that reason? Because Kirby says so?
Possibly. Could be Monken and his offense and Bennett gives us the best shot running what he does. Who knows? But that's the point. We don't know. CKS isn't an idiot so I have to believe there is a good reason why we're sticking with Bennett every week. He's shown that he can play ball and knows the playbook. If he were a few inches taller, we probably wouldn't even be having this discussion. That tells me the other QBs must not be ready to play. If they were killing it in practice, we'd probably see more options on the field.

It isn’t. But yeah, having our starting QB bail on the season two weeks before it starts turns out to not be good for your football team.

This. There ain’t no way to deny it. If our QB situation is as dire as it obviously is there is only one reason. Smart don’t know shite about QBs. I’ll bet a Coke right now our ability to recruit a quality WB going forward tanks.....ain’t nobody going to come to Sthens to play WB with our 3 year record at QB.

If Bennett is the best QB we have than we’re fricked. Kirby will win a bunch of 24-10, 21-17 type games and be giddy

It’s 2019 all over again. Sad thing is Fromm would have been great with Monken

Didn’t he sit out like the entire 2nd quarter - in what, 60 degree weather? I’d guess so

When you throw 40 passes, 269 yards is pathetic.
I've seen worse against Bama's defenses. If Bennett were absolute trash, he wouldn't have been as "successful" as he was.

quote:

Because Kirby still cares more about the QB not losing the game for him rather than having a playmaker who can put the team on his back and win it
CKS has certainly shown that he values QBs that make good, safe decisions. CKS wants to have a balanced offense and leans heavily on our running game. Our starting QBs so far have been good fits for that style of football. He doesn't seem interested in quick scores that wear down our defense.

Even so, who on our QB bench is that "playmaker who can put the team on his back and win it"? It's not like CKS hasn't recruited well. We just haven't been able to keep them long enough to do what we need.

If Stetson starts the second quarter it's Kirby. You can't pull Mathis in 4 posessions, but not pull Stetson after his last 4 quarters.

Daniels, Mathis, and many fans will be scratching their heads is one of the two doesn't see the field.

Bennett has a TD today and has at least moved the ball.

With Mathis we punted on 4 possessions and had 1 INT (we had 2 three and outs) and he also had Pickens available...No thanks

Our starting QB is in Ohio because Smart can’t manage a roster. The shithead from wake Forrest was an act of desperation as was the one from USC. If Beck ain’t ready and had a terrible sr season HS why the frick has he got a spot????

We don’t need a Fields or Lawrence. Jake Fromm was not great and as long as someone was pushing him in practice we could win with a QB of that caliber. We ain’t gonna have one next year either. It’s going to Smarts diwnfall

Just like our games this season:


37-10
28-6
44-21.


Yeah, you’re going to have games you don’t blow your opponent out. I’m not saying Stetson should definitely be the QB going forward. I just think it’s dumb to have the logic of throw anyone in there and we’ll be fine.

That doesn't work anymore.

Then he needs to take a long look at himself. Quick strike scores are a necessity to win in today's college football. Quick scores put enormous pressure on the other offense to be perfect.

The point is that the odds of another QB playing worse is small enough at this point that it’s worth trying even if Kirby is convinced that we don’t have another “game-ready” guy. Nobody thought Bennett was a viable option preseason but we went to him against Arkansas because we were desperate. We’re desperate again now.
I disagree. I don't think we're desperate right now. Bennett has shown that he can manage our offense, even if he doesn't have the physical toolset to be an all-american.

He had a rough time against Bama but he's played pretty well otherwise. He had another tipped pass in the first half but he's also only played 3 possessions so far today.

quote:

If someone else comes in and sucks worse, go back to Bennett. Our offense is so bad right now that any “confidence” we lose from jostling QBs isn’t worth caring for at this point.
Our offense isn't bad. We struggled in the 2nd half against Bama and we've had 3 possessions so far today, 1 of which was really good.

quote:

Bennett is horrible and everyone with functioning retinas knows it.
This is such a bad take. It's reminiscent of those who said Fromm was terrible. Basically the argument is that if a QB isn't Burrow, he sucks. It's so short-sighted
