Beating mediocre opponents courtesy of our dominating defense and major help from Brock Bowers doesn't count.

Unless 1) He can put a team on his shoulders and win when our defense is struggling and 2) the NFL thinks he's pro material, he shouldn't be playing QB for an elite program.

I didn’t pay. His free stuff pops up on my YouTube feed. I think he understands football and does a good job explaining it. However, I think he knows where his clicks and Patreon $$$ will come from in a broad sense and caters to that.

I’m sitting in an airport waiting for a delayed flight and it proved to make 15 mins go by in an entertaining manor, so, I say yes. Enjoy it.

Back to back 2nd half qb meltdowns should worry any healthy, educated fan.


The 2nd half score was Bama 10-Georgia 7. Hardly a meltdown. It's the 2nd quarter defensive meltdown that cost us the win.

Bennett has thrown 4 2nd half INT’s vs bama. We could have won both games if he were good enough to not do that.

What was our time of possession 2nd quarter like 3 or 4 minutes?

Vs the gators we scored 3 pts in the first half till the Def bailed us out with 3 scores in 2 minutes. Can't count on that against a good team.

We scored a TD after an 8 play, 97 yard drive at the beginning of the 2nd quarter while our defense rested and we had a 10 point lead.

Bama then scored a TD in 75 yards in 44 seconds. 10-7

UGA 3 and out

Bama 6 plays 80 yards 2:44 seconds 10-14

UGA 3 and out

Bama 12 plays 5 mins and a FG 10-17

UGA 6 plays 75 yards TD 14-17

Bama 9 plays 75 yards TD ( in under 2 mins) 14-24


2 3 and outs, 2 TDs and a down the ball series with a few seconds left.


What changed the momentum was them scoring back to back TDs to take a lead and doing so in huge chunks, lighting up our defense.

What also hurt was them scoring on their last drive of Q2 and first drive of Q3. All their scoring drives were 75 plus yards too. We gave them long fields and they gashed us. We got down by 2 TDs and went away from our game plan and played into Bamas. Hopefully we learn from it.

If Nolan just dives on that fumble the entire outcome of the game could have changed. Similar to Nakobe's pick-6 against Florida right before the half. And considering they would be without Metchie for the rest of the game. Ah the what could have been.

Fumbles like that are always tricky but the teams that make those plays typically win more big games. We really needed that one. I think the momentum would have swung back our way. It sucked

Agreed. At the time I was trying to figure out why he tried to scoop it up. Wasn't like he was going to pick it up and go 80 yards with it. Just a tough possession that culminated with BY scoring the touchdown and totally stealing back that momentum.

Kirby hasn’t had a good enough qb to beat bama. Perhaps he needs to make better choices at that spot.


Calzada beat Alabama. Are you saying we have not had a QB as good as Calzada?

Bennett had a higher comp. %, more yard passing, more TD's, fewer INTs.,Higher QB rating. In what way was calzada better than bennett?

Calzada was the better qb on that day. That’s what we need out of our qb.
Okay. So, what you are saying if Bennett plays better "on that day" then he is capable of beating Alabama?

That's hardly a great observation. And Bennett is a better....a MUCH better QB than Calzada.

Compare how they played vs bama.

I guess but there is no if about it as he failed, just like he did in 2020 and Fromm did 2x before him. Maybe 3rd time is a charm. If not, maybe a 4th or 5th try next year.

Remind us again who JT Daniels has beaten? I mean....we all get it. You want JT Daniels. But crap.....if you are going to make an argument, then at least use the same criteria for both QBs.

So Bennett can beat Alabama? I mean, Bennett is a MUCH better QB than Calzada.

One game? So Calzada got lucky in one game and he is suddenly better than Bennett, when is al other games Bennett is better in every meaningful category?

quote:

There is an "If" at every single game. Next game..."If" Bennett plays better he can beat Alabama. I mean he plays better than Calzada all year long. Isn't it logical to assume he can have that "if" game?

quote:

Maybe. I hope one of our other QBs are healthy and playing well enough to beat him out next year. In the mean time we have Bennett. Don't get me wrong.....I don't care who the other QBs are. I always hope they can beat out the incumbent. That means our QBs are getting better and better.

Again. Everybody keeps wanting to say Benentt has not done it yeat so he should be replaced. Using that logic, shouldn't Kirby Smart be replaced? We have a much bigger sample size with him than we do with Stetson Bennett. Or we can stay with him this year and then a couple more times next year.

I think he sat on the bench and watched their kicker kick a game-winning FG. So, did Calzada beat Bama?
