Lets say JT Daniels practices all week with zero pain….How would you handle the situation?

Not looking for emotional responses from fan boys of either QB, just honestly trying to figure out what is best for the team

I don’t have an answer but stetson has more playing time with this offense. After JT played crippled in the Clemson game he’s only played half of the South Carolina game and less than half of the Vanderbilt game. I like stetsons ability to extend plays for sure.

I would like to see JT get some game reps before we have to play Florida. If he’s feeling great, practices like normal, and the medical staff says he’s good I would be fine with playing him.

If there’s even an ounce of doubt about how healed he is, play Stetson. Having both of them available for the stretch run is of the highest importance and Stetson has shown he can get it done while we wait for JT.

Daniels has gained a lot of confidence and improved. It's a hard call. I'm thinking if JT is healthy Kirby will use him in a relief role if the offense is struggling.

I would trust Monken and Smart to make the call after watching practice all week and evaluating how rusty Daniels might be. Also would depend on what our game plan might be against the KY defense. I believe they have their finger on the pulse of this team.

You platoon them and whoever is playing better takes command the rest of the day.

Then whoever starts is on a short leash going forward knowing there’s a capable guy in the wings.

It is Stets job to lose now, he took advantage of the opportunity afforded to him with JT hurt, just like Fromm did to Eason. Hot hand, can't bench him. If he starts to frick up or get hurt, it is JT back in.

There's no reason to amke this a complicated soap operate when it doens't need to be. JT is the QB and is our starter. We're extremely lucky and fortunate that stetson has provided what he has, but there's a reason he has been a career backup that transferred to a JUCO for playing time then came back here and started 2020 as 4th string. He is a very experienced and capable #2 but JT is our guy.

Whatever we do, I don’t want to play 2 QBs. My personal preference would be JT because I think his ability to read a defense pre-snap and get the right protections/make the right reads is better, thus making the offense smoother. But Bennett has also shown to be a capable QB for us. I just don’t us to run a 1-and-1 or 2-and-1 series split with them. Let one of them work into a rhythm and win the damn game, don’t get cute or try to make everyone happy.

I believe Stet plays. Thinking that both Kirby and Monken like/love his ability to run and create plays with his legs. We will find out "the situation" by the Florida game.

I agree with others that we shouldn't play both. Make a choice and go.

JT is a championship caliber QB. Stetson is not.

Stetson can run and pass…JT can’t

JT spreads the wealth and has more freedom downfield. With Stetson’s size, I still believe there’s only so many plays for him. JT pretty much has the whole playbook at his disposal.

JT is the better passer and would be in the running for the heisman if had hadn’t been injured. He will play in the NFL, whereas Stetson will not.

If he’s healed enough to where there’s zero chance of him reinjuring the lat, then he needs to play. If there’s still a small chance, then let Stetson start and if he screws up, throw in JT. JT needs to 100% start the Florida game.

Anyone acting like JT is made of glass has no clue what they’re talking about. The guy had a gruesome injury at USC and was still healing up until mid 2020.
The lat thing was him trying to play through an injury and the in and out never gave him time to heal. He should be about ready by now.

Let Stetson drag his nuts over Kentucky then JT takes over with the extra week of rest/work before Flarduh.

Please stop. JT is QB1. If he's healthy he will start.

Seems JT is the better QB, so I start him

But he’s on a short leash, it’s a very good position to be in being able to trust and count on your backup QB

plus, Stet has a great “TEAM me” attitude; so I’m not worrying about sideline or in huddle bickering

The fan in me wants to see Stet take us to the promised land

If I were coach, I’d do whatever I felt gave me the best shot to win

I have nothing against JT. Other than his gay USC leg tat sleeve. But I will never apologize for pulling for the homegrown non carpetbaggers like Stet.

If Stetson Bennett IV is the QB to end this long agonizing drought, im not sure we even deserve something so great and awesome.

There would be a movie made. I alao agree with those saying we need to pick 1 and ride. BUT, Sick already showed hes willing to swap them out when he brought Stet in to throw the worst INT of history

We have a situation

Yeah I don’t like that…

Stetson seems to play better when he knows it’s his game. Most of his mistakes come in limited playing time, he’s either cold or trying to hard to make a play. I’d rather start 1 and okay him till there is a reason not too.

I really prefer playing Beck or BVG in garbage time, no reason to risk injuries.
