However, I'd argue Stetson wasn't far off from elite and we could do a lot worse.

It's a pointless exercise that accopmlishes nothing...you coudl argue he looked as good as he did all year because we had our best defense ever. What if we had simply an average defense, how good would stetson have looked then? It doens't matter....because we did have an elite defense. And he did play well for us. So it's irrelevant.

we almost found out potentially how much worse we could do if the idiotic fans actually mad at stet had their way and he didn't return.

If stetson left, I'd be willing to bet JT (and burton) both return

I realize how a defense helps an offense. I get that. But Bennett engineered long drives against Michigan and Alabama. We can play what if all day long.

Okay. Do we know that Daniels would bring us a title next year? Which year has he stayed healthy? Bennett leaves then Daniels gets injured and we have BVG and Stockton. maybe they flourish and we go far with them....maybe they look a lot like Mathis when he got his shot. Who knows? Maybe Daniels stays healthy and we win another title.

Who knows? Speculating is fools folly. We know what we have, and we go with it.

I'm just ecstatic that we won a Natty and a World Series in the same year (technically the same year)...

I don't care if Stetson, JT, Beck, BVG or Sasquatch QB'ed UGA.... We won a Natty with Stetson at the helm of and we have a great chance to have a great season in 2022 with him back at QB for UGA..

ou fricking idiots are the ones driving it. You can’t let it go. Y’all keep making more posts about it. It’s Probly all you have in life so I feel bad being such a prick to you guys about it but sorry the truth hurts.

I get your frustration. Were you not here the 10-12 weeks before the national title game? This board does not live in a vacuum. The naysayers drove it for 3 months, now it is being driven by others. It's only been a week and a half. Imagine your frustration if it goes for another 10 weeks?

That is what is driving this.

For people not to understand that actions and words have consequences is beyond me. had it been a couple of threads and some memes and even some reasonable posts, this would not be happening.

That's not what happened then and that is not what is happening now.

Don’t you think for one minute that I’m gonna stand idle when I’m in the final 4 with the gapiest cünts of the cünt nation…. NO SIR!!!!

I’d wait til after spring practice and portal to be certain of that.

Our defense could probably be considered elite in 2019 and 2020, and both years got our doors blown off by elite offenses (while we simultaneously had poor QB play).

---

While I personally disagree that we had "poor QB play" in 2019 (I believe it was more a factor of attrition and inconsistency at WR), even if I were to grant that, it would only go to show that you need a complete team to win championships. Being "elite" on one side of the ball will only get you so far if the other parts of the team aren't pulling their weight. You don't need an elite offense with an elite defense to win, you just need to be able to move the ball enough to give your defense rest, and your defense needs to be well prepared for that offense it is going up against. The SECCG was a disaster, with our defense not having a good plan for Alabama. The rematch was much different.

quote:

---

This yera we had a mega-elite defense and still got stomped by alabama when they were decently healthy.

---

This is true, but it was because our defensive game plan was terrible the first time around. We weren't able to get pressure on Young, for one thing, and he was able to pick our secondary apart because of it. He wasn't nearly as successful the 2nd time around. Part of that was personnel but another part was execution.

We were able to score points on their defense both times, but our defense let us down the first time while it kept us in the game in the rematch.

quote:

---

In the SECCG they had both their stud WRs for 1 half and were playign a dinged up Robinson (their 2-4 RBs were out hurt I think). In the title game they were moving pretty well until jaemson got hurt early and we completely dominated from there.

---

It's easy to say one or two players make all the difference, but Alabama is made up almost entirely of the best talent available coming out of high school. They had 4- and 5-stars lined up 3 and 4 deep on their roster with some of the best coaches in college coaching them up. While I'm sure having their two best receivers sidelined impacted their game, they had a month to plan for us with Metchie out and they weren't able to make adjustments that kept us from shutting them down. In the game against Cincinnati, their RB had a career game. He wasn't nearly as dominating against us, though he had some moments. They all but abandoned the run in favor of passing the ball 57 times.

Also, both in 2017 and 2018, their all-world 1st string QBs were completely shut down by us. They had to put in the backups as a wrinkle to keep us on our heels and take advantage of our conservative game calling in the 2nd half. They weren't able to do that this time, and our pressure kept Young from being consistently comfortable, and he's extremely talented.

2019 lsu and 2020 bama showed that an elite offense simply can't be stopped even by an elite defense. This yera's bama team, even when full strength, wasn't at the level those 2 squads were.

---

2019 was a special team, so I'm not sure they should be an example of the norm of great offenses being unstoppable even against great defenses. That said, we've heard that said before and we've seen time and time again where great offenses struggle against certain teams. The 2020 Alabama team was losing against Stetson Bennett after the first half, and if we didn't call a bad 2nd half and if Stetson didn't play so poorly to close it out, that would've been a much closer game. They were hardly unstoppable, and our defense wasn't as good as the one we had this year.

My point is that you don't necessarily need an elite QB to win a championship. You need a great or elite team overall, with the players and coaches doing their parts to prepare and execute. Sometimes a great offense is all you need. Sometimes a great defense is all you need. Sometimes you need both. We were able to win with a former walk-on QB without much NFL potential. That broke (or should have broken) the narrative for some who kept parroting that point about needing an elite QB.

I think Kirby will start the QB that best allows us to win.
There's quite some time to go. It could be Stet, or someone else

---

Just like Fromm secured his job for the following season by making the NC game, Stetson pretty much secured his by winning the game.. TBH I know everyone is all in on BVG but I’m not so sure about him yet, there’s a big difference between Single A/private school and the SEC, I’ll have to see some actual snaps played in games before I’m sold on him

That is an assumption

Kirby isn’t going to take a guy out that’s winning football games
