Nope. But he damn sure still floats the long ball. Way to easy to pick off - we got lucky more than once.

Not really, shite happens and I have no issue admitting when I'm wrong. The people who can't admit mistake or say "always" are the people you need to keep an eye on.

I'll argue that he mostly is the same. What's not mentioned is that this UGA team around him isn't the same. It's several levels above everyone we've faced so far this season. The defense requires no comment. But even on offense, our OL has been stellar in protection and even with injuries to WRs, we've had weapons (Bowers, Washington, backs catching out of backfield) that are big time mismatches against most opponents.
I think we would very well be undefeated right now with JT III or Hutson Mason back there.
Barring a mental letdown, not sure this team faces any real challenge until playoffs.

I like Bennett but if he has became our bench mark for measuring Q.B's in the future, we're fricked.
Isn't that what all the JT Daniels pushers are doing?

Good for you! I HATE admitting when I am wrong.

I disagree. He is protecting the ball much better. Except for 3-4 passes all season he has made good throws. Two really bad passes against Florida were picked off. That's what concerns me. But, overall he is not making poor choices.

SECCG will be extremely difficult. not only will Saban have his players focused and ready, but there will be at least a small block in our players minds. The block can be overcome, but it will still be there.
I will reiterate that I am good with whoever Kirby throws out there. I do hope Stetson has a short leash, though. If he falls into bad habits and throws the ball into bad situations again he should be removed.

I trust Kirby/Monken on this. However, its extremely important that JT gets fully up to speed before that game. It might be best to let him have an entire game before then. I think Bennett is awesome but his long throws are very dangerous.

In reality that is all any of us can do. Our opinion won't change how Kirby handles it.
I do tend to agree with you, though. We need Daniels to be ready to go and we need Benentt happy and ready to go. If they can put their egos aside we will be a better team for it.
I do understand that Bennett wants some respect and Daniels wants to play. They are competitors.

I do seem to recall Bennett saying something about Monken in one of his interviews several weeks back. Almost like a veiled callout. But I may have just been hearing things.

I’m fine with riding with Bennet at this point because in a meritocracy style he has risen to the top through his own actions and fortunes provided to him. I also see him as a much better player than last year as well, be it his improvement or the teams idk, probably both. That said this isn’t a Fromm Fields situation as I see it. Bennet is a legend kinda already but could seriously become an insane college football history legacy story if he wins this team a NC. He still is what he is. He’s better at it this year as I see it particularly the Auburn game impressed me in person but he does have a ceiling and I’m prettty sure he’s there. He doesn’t drive the ball consistently and accurately especially on deep outs and such. He does do this and is capable of it but it is hit or miss. JT has the ability to do these things. I’m not sure that makes him necessarily the right man for this team right now though. I trust the coaches.

Could we start seeing the subbing of QBs as needs dictate?

Not saying you are doing this, but sometimes I tend to read into what people say. It has gotten me into trouble on here more than once. I hope they are happy...both Bennett and Daniels. I also want them hungry.
Just a personal opinion....it seems when Bennett is most comfortable he tends to take chances more with the football and it leads to bad results. He gets too much confidence.
Like I said...just my opinion based on watching him. He needs to understand that he is the man until he gets careless. He is capable of leading us to a championship....and he is just as capable of getting us there and then tossing it away. I think this is where some of the Daniels people are coming from, and I honestly think they have a point. I just think they might be a bit too strident with it.

Very real possibility but you have to be careful with that. Just like the last couple of years for Florida. When Emory Jones was in there you knew to look for some type of QB run play. It can really tip off the defense to what kind of play is about to be run.

Unless they're great actors, they seem to be getting along fine and in a lot of communication, at least on the sideline.

I won't be surprised if JT starts the Tennessee game and Bennett takes over after the first 3rd quarter drive if we are ahead. Give JT the Charleston Southern game and give each a half against Tech. Then Kirby and Monken decide who starts the SECCG. That should give them enough to evaluate both.

Pretty much a have to situation. I can assure you when I was playing I talked to and interacted with my teammates on the sidelines, but (Mainly in practice) I was not heartbroken if they guy I was competing with for playing time messed up. I wanted the team to succeed, but i was pulling against the guy I was competing with for playing time. I wanted on the field. I can assure you both Bennett and Daniels wants to be on the field playing every snap.
They may be friends off the field and may get along fine....but make no mistake about it....they both want to be taking snaps.

I would be surprised. Against a lesser, yet capable team you really don't want to shake up a teams chemistry. I could see starting him against Charleston Southern and GT. But against a team that is capable of an upset with so much at stake? I wouldn't expect any major changes.

Is there really any chemistry shakeup?

Changing a QB is the biggest chemistry shakeup you can make on a team.
I mean when you are talking about a single player. The difference in the way they call plays in the huddle, and the interaction with the other players is massive from QB to QB. The relationships they have with the other players is massive. The trust the team has from one QB to the next. Yes. When you are talking about the QB there is a huge chemistry change.
Can it be worked around and continue to be smooth? Yes. But there is a massive shift in chemistry when you are talking about QB.
