Hot Takes on Champpionships, Bennett, the Defense and the Dawgs

All came from Georgia posters, but I will not post who said what. Most, I think were honest....but absolutely wrong. We can all look back and laugh.
Start JT Daniels or lose a title (Thread Title)
Will they do it? Wouldn't hold my breath, but it's so painfully obvious.
I think we can beat Michigan with Stetson at QB, but we have no chance against Bama with him.
A few years back (after a UGA loss in the SECcg) I posted that we'd never see a SEC champ score less than 35 ever again.
I got crushed. Called prisoner of the moment, etc.
Today. I really hoped we might hold them to 28 and win. Didn't happen.
Outscore is the name of the game.
And yeah, we need JT Daniels to be the QB.
Kirby, WTH?
We had the defense to do it, but they needed help from the Offense. IMHO
Actually, they needed help from the offenses QB.
Don't forget NFLer, Jacob Eason. Where is Fromm now?
JT Daniels may or may not win us a title, but he's a lot better than Stetson. It'd be one thing if JT's play was actual crap, but it's not.
What I see in Kirby Smart is a continued failed philosophy at QB. If he really thinks that, then he's wrong.
100%. The absolutely bullshitetery with the QB room has got to stop.
Defenses give up points against elite offenses in the playoffs in the past seven years almost every time. The best we can hope for is holding them to 21 to 28 points.
Though I'll tell ya how a blowout happens against Alabam (twice) You start Stetson Bennett against elite college leveled QBs on the other side and defenses with an actual pulse.
Offense. Wins. Championships... in 2021. Alabama has an elite offense, we don't. Blowout occurs. It's like magic!
It's just plain truth. Stetson Bennett will not win us a title against Alabama. JT has a better chance. It's not rocket science. 5 INTs in two games against Alabama. Emotional, non-emotional, kicking and screaming, or calm and stoic....regardless...it's the truth.
We won't win because of Bennett. But we never do, so no big deal.
I mean sure. A&M beat them with Calzada. That doesn’t make Stetson the right play.
Why is it emotional in your eyes to suggest that maybe he simply isn't capable of beating this opponent?
This was all in one thread....and there were at LEAST a dozen threads similar, mainly about Bennett.
And I can assure you...if we had lost Monday night it would have been unbearable with all the Stetson Bennett threads and fire Kirby Smart threads.
As I said....most were innocent takes that were misguided. I can live with those.
Only two posters would not give it a rest with one posting meme after meme ridiculing Bennett, and now he wants to play nice.

I would hope our fanbase is loose as a goose at this point but if Stetson comes back I'm sure this neverending debate will continue yet another year. I admit I was wrong in thinking we couldn't beat bama wiht stetson, but when you have the best defense in school history that makes up for a lot of other stuff. And to stetson's credit, man he turned it on late whne it was needed. Pretty pedestrian most of the game, then the 4th qurater in crunch time he was absolutely incredible and led us to a title. What more can you ask of him?
I think if he returns in '22, with all our defensive departures, we are going to be in for a bit of a wakeup call as far as the scoreboards go. But who cares? We won a title so I'm content for at least 20 years or so.

Stet, the most improbable qb in UGA modern history made the National Championship Probable.
His two long passes in the ncg were amazing, 52 ish yards in the air and hit their targets.
We are crazy to not run with his grasp of the offense, he did all this with "mental" reps to start this season and last. Plus we should be loaded at wr next year.
Stetson for Heisman is now the goal!

Stetson has earned the right, in my opinion, to come back next year for a chance to repeat. Not saying he will repeat, but he has earned the right to try.
And I will still love him no matter what.

His UGA legacy is set now. No one can ever say he wasn't good enough again.

Will love the guy forever for what he was able to accomplish this season. With that said, Stetson needs to work really hard in the off-season and improve his arm strength. That at the end of the day has been my biggest gripe with him.

While true there is no denying that having a great offense gives you a leg up and makes things easier. Especially in todays game.

Fwiw...this was not meant to be a shame thread so much as a "Let's all laugh at ourselves for some of the takes we had."

I will never understand this, I guess. He has thrown the ball 40-50 yards in the air on several occasions. I get that he must put more air under that ball to do it, but there are a lot of QB's with less arm strength that do fine.
His problem, imo, has always been questionable decision making (Trying to force the ball into windows) and throwing the ball up instead of throwing it away.
Again....just my opinion. At this point, he is not going to develop more arm strength.

While I tend to agree from the standpoint that they can throw the ball as far as each other....JT has a bit more zip to his throws and can deliver the ball with less air when needed. That can be important from the standpoint of...when throwing a deep ball the more air you put under it gives a DB more time to make a play. But to say Bennett can't throw it as far, to me, is incorrect.
I am guessing the other poster was referring to deep ball ability. Maybe I am wrong?

His accuracy at times has been off the charts, no doubt on deep throws.

Stet has earned the right to return and start from this year alone. No denying the kid if he wants that.
But, I sure as hell hope that part of this plan is working one of our young guys into the mix. I’d hate to lose BVG or Gunner because of Stet taking a victory lap next year.
Hopefully our coaches will figure it out.

That is exactly my critique. It has nothing to do with his range. I know he can throw a deep ball as we've all seen him do it multiple times.
Balls lack some zip and tend to "float." You are 100% right about that allowing a defender to position and make a play on the ball.
Not a critique of him at all but since I'm on the subject I would like to see him utilized more next year on the Zone Read. Monken needs to let him read the play and pull on the mesh when he gets the appropriate read on the DE. We did it some with Fromm especially in 2017. Pretty sure it was the UT game where Fromm kept it twice from 10 or 15 out and scored. Stetson is way faster than Jake. Lets utilize that. Trevor Lawrence did it well at Clemson. He was deceptively fast and would gash folks on the ground when he pulled and kept.

I have no idea what Stet has in mind for his future. If he wants to coach...then my ideal scenario is he agrees to come back and be a GA coach and work with our younger QBs. He can be on the roster and if we get into a bad situation due to injuries or something he could go into a game similar to what South Carolina did with one of their guys.
Give the reigns to one of the younger guys, Daniels (if he stays) or whoever wins the job....but have Bennett work with them and be ready.

I felt like that is where you were going, and in my mind that is fair.
quote:Deep bals...yes. Short and medium balls seem to have plenty of zip, but I suspect, again, that is where you were going with this.

Again. I have no trouble with people posting critique or even criticisms/ I just hate it when people drag it out in memes and make personal attacks on any of our players/coaches. Ftr, I don't recall you ever doing this, so it was not directed at you.
