Who arguably had more talent around him. The question isn't what Bennett did or didn't do in that game...it's what UGA would have done in that game had we been starting a healthy Daniels or (insert name of any future 1st round pick).
Now if Bennett starts against Auburn or Florida a bit down the road and throws 5 TDs in a half, I will reconsider my assessment.
What are you even arguing though? Are you saying that JTD is a better QB than Bennett? I don't think anyone is arguing to the contrary...
Are you saying that you believe Carson Beck to be the better QB than Bennett? I don't believe you can make a valid argument for that *today*. Perhaps he has the higher long term value, but the coaches have infinitely more data points to consider than any fan... so despite NFL size and measurables, his performance on the field would seem to validate their concerns and prove them correct that Stetson is the next best option as of right now... Hopefully our schedule allows us to continue getting him and/or BVG looks this year to better assess and prepare them for the future.
The reality is this... if we lose JTD more than a week before a matchup with Alabama or another playoff caliber team, we'll be hard pressed to perform offensively at a high level... the ideal gameplan will probably look a lot closer to what we did against Clemson at that point... Conservative offense relying on your defense unless you're forced to do otherwise. If JTD went down mid-game against Alabama and they haven't spent all week prepping to knock down balls from Stet at the DL, I like his chances to perform in that spot.
But the same could be said for Clemson, Alabama, etc... Most of those teams don't have a second QB on the roster right now that they would feel exceptional about starting if they were forced to. Of potential CFP teams right now, Oklahoma probably sitting with the best "next man up" at QB and he's thrown 10 passes?

Apparently there are a couple of people on this board (maybe the only two people in the country) who do think Bennett is better than Daniels...and at least one of them didn't want to see Daniels take over last season after he got healthy.
I can only chalk that up to some kind of fricked up bias for a rural Georgia kid with no fanfare over the big name Cali kid. It sure isn't based on measurables and upside, that's for sure.

Any word on Stetson being injured?
Posted on 9/15/21 at 7:23 pm to Kneehigh
Lower back injury. Unknown cause.

Screwing 30 coeds in a weekend and getting every other female in Sanford emaculately concieved by halftime is tough work even for the mailman.

No, you said he didn’t belong even on the team and then said that though he won SEC games against ranked team, he couldn’t beat SEC upper tier teams, which means he sucks. We then presented that Fields also could not beat upper tier SEC teams last year and then you said well he got drafted. You seem confused.

I'm not sure that Daniels is better than Bennett but Kirby thinks so. That fact handicaps Bennett to some degree--not to have Kirby's full confidence. I'm completely comfortable with either QB but I would like to see Bennett against South Carolina.

Not going to comb through posts, but if you could link/quote them that would be great. My guess is there is some context missing there, or at minimum at least a small degree of hyperbole.

Well, not exactly but the argument could be made that he already left once when he couldn't win a starting job. Then he came back again to be a career backup. The guy is like a 7th year senior and if he wasn't here, we would still be doing just fine. I am certain that we would have beaten UAB with Beck. We may not had the padded stats, as we would be getting experience for someone who had previously not thrown a pass in a college game.
I also said that hopefully in the future, we are done with bringing any QB on scholarship who is not a 5 star or high 4 star.

Fields

got drafted
Yep. Your assertion is apparently that Fields is no better than Bennett. Yet apparently those who make these judgments for a living feel that Fields is about $18 million dollars better than Bennett.
You still haven't been able to answer the question of why, if this guy is the equal or better of Daniels, Fields, Stafford and so on, has he perpetually been the backup rather than "THE" guy and why are these other folks getting NFL riches while he is destined for high school coaching?
When you can finally admit that Bennett is not in the same universe as the aforementioned, we'll have progress. In the meantime, please continue to make this argument when next year's draft comes around.

It's not that complicated. Virtually everyone knows Bennett is not a franchise QB. The explanation for the couple of people obsessed with him is simple: the underdog syndrome. He's the disadvantaged, small town Georgia kid, a modern day version of Rudy.
They don't like those entitled, elitist QBs with pro measurables and dozens of scholarship offers. Maybe they relate more to the Stetsons of the world?

Ok... so one of two things is true then. 1) you aren't posting links/quotes because they don't exist and/or the context of them doesn't support your hypothesis or 2) you're getting bent out of shape and screaming at the sky over what is clearly a nonsensical opinion.
Again, I repeat... what is it that you're arguing about.
If it's that JT is our best QB, no one with 2 brain cells to rub together is arguing to the contrary.
If it's about who our best backup is, state your argument.

Stetson gonna get a chance to beat his record this time….against probably the weakest CBs in the SEC. I still completely disagree with the call, but will be once again rooting for Scoutie Stenson
Posted on 9/16/21 at 9:33 am to Jefferson Dawg
If this is true those fans are trash. I understand we aren’t winning anything big with Stetson but last year would’ve been a complete fricking disaster without him. Imagin Mathis have to take every snap he took, and then he puts on show Saturday. Is he a novelty? Sure. But he’s our novelty who has played his heart out for the G. frick anyone who treats our players this way.

Mathis was recruited as a raw project and in direct response to Kirby's mismanagement of the Fromm/Fields situation.
Hopefully, we'll never see a Bennett situation once this guy finally goes on and becomes a high school football coach because HOPEFULLY, a top three program like UGA will from this point forward be signing one 5 star QB recruit per year...or perhaps a high 4 star in an off cycle.
A 5-10, low ceiling QB shouldn't even be allowed to sniff the practice fields at our facilities.
Not only does he not respect him, he says he shouldn’t be on the team.

Bennett saved our arse last season and made uab a no brainer that allowed the entire bench playing time.
Play beck and we plot along and its likely a game in the 4th.
Those that think bennett doesnt belong here but beck does are fricking morons. At this level, you either got it or you dont.
Our offense plotted along with eason, insert fromm and it was like someone floored the gas pedal.
If bennett had becks size, he would win a heisman.

As I said, context is missing there. He didn't argue that Bennett is *better*, simply that he isn't certain that JT *IS* better.
I think it's a little bit of a silly take, as the coaches have far more data points to evaluate than we do, but to be fair, this season with sample size of 1 for each QB, one QB performed at a high level and one didn't. Of course that can be explained easily with top tier P5/CFP team vs G5 team as well as injury to JT, but it's reasonable to still be a little bit wait and see on JTD this year.

Leaving us to begin next season with no QB with significant playing time.

NFL
We have the best chance to win it all since 2017. Most here could give 2 shits about the NFL and next year is way down on the priority list. Because of that, playing Bennett is absolutely the right move. It is glaringly obvious that SB has the better command of the offense and it totally makes sense giving him reps with the 1st team in case something happens to JTD. Beck got his snaps in which is good also.
I dont know why you keep doubling down on stupid? Trolling or are you really that big a moron?
