I agree with you Greg. As a Georgia fan for 45 years i was one of the fans that had no confidence in Stetson! As he proved the college football world wrong, he proved me wrong. I never accounted for his heart!! My opinion now he is the GOAT of all Georgia QB's!!

I can tell you I was definitely one of the Georgia fans calling for Bennett’s head. Until he led us to the first national championship in 40+ years. when he decided to come back, I decided to live and die with him. That doesn’t mean he went without criticism, but that’s different than calling for someone else. There is no doubt in my mind He’s a Georgia all timer and should be considered a college football all-time great, because that dude performed incredibly when he needed to and at the most critical times and biggest games with the spotlight on, so I would go beyond just Georgia. And yes Pollack is the fourth.

A better question would be most impactful Georgia player. That allows for consideration of both talent and the intangible qualities. Raw talent goes to Herschel and Gurley. I would argue Stetson gets the most impactful award.

Stetson as at LEAST tied with Herschel. Herschel played 3 seasons, winning 1 National championship and a huge part of why Georgia won. Stetson played a little over 2 seasons winning 2 National championships and he was hugely responsible for Georgia’s success in 2022. Ultimately , it is a little early to make these decisions. I think we need to give it about 5 years to get some perspective. But Stetson should be on the Mount Rushmore of bulldawg players.

I am proud to say that I was in support of Bennett. I use to say “JT HAS BRICK FEET” and “DONT QUESTION THE MONK” Lmfao 🤣

Georgia has way more talent than anyone not named Alabama. As much as TCU out coached Michigan, Kirby out coached TCU. Schematically they had no answer to the tight ends or Stetson scrambling.

My favorite is always going to be Hines Ward. The dogs were so bad then, but Hines was going to step up into any role the team needed. Your talking about a dude that played significant time at WR, QB, and RB. Honest to god to this day I still want a Hines Ward award for someone doing something like he did in his career.

Stetson is hands down the GOAT QB of Georgia! I think Herschel is still the GOAT PLAYER for Georgia owing to his Heisman (should have won 2) but there is no greater STORY that Stetson’s. I was there ‘83-‘87 and I SAW the “Big Dawg” play.

Herschel and the '81 and '82 dogs were 2 plays away from a 3peat. I truly believe that there is room for many for the title great. I do not believe Walker would for a moment claim henis the greatest be warmly and genuinely welcome Stetson to the pinnacle of football at the University of Georgia.

And if they made a movie about Kurt Warner, surely one is in the works about Bennett. What a story of perseverence, dedication, and steadfastness. Nobody wanted that kid, even tried to push him out. He did not care one bit and shoved all his chips to the center of the table, proved literally everyone wrong save his parents, and even they could not have imagined how this story would have ended. Dude made some mistakes, but he learned and got better. That's all you can ask for in a player. But when the bright lights were on, dude showed up and showed out, big time!

I live in AZ and I am a Georgia fan. At this time last year I ran into a Georgia fan here and he was upset that Stetson was coming back and I was like, wow. Ok. It's not like we are National Champions very often.

The NFL needs to be paying Kirby a commission for all of the talent he is supplying to the NFL,. Just saying..

Great job Greg. Salient points, good analysis, all delivered well.

Stetson is #2 behind Hershel in my book. The only reason I think this is because some people outside of the UGA community consider Hershel to be one of the top 5 greatest college football players of all time. So if I put Stet above Hershel, are we saying Stetson is one of the five greatest college football players of all time?

As a long time UGA fan, I was hard on SBIV when JT Daniel's was benched. He made some bonehead passes and took the hard way out many times. But I can admit that Kirby saw something that I never did sew in him. I can also admit that I was wrong about him. He developed into a great QB. Its too bad that he is undersized to play in the NFL, because he now has the talent, and the heart of a lion. Good Luck SBIV.

When Stetson got the call before the start of the season, I was kind of annoyed. Not at Stetson, but at Kirby a little. Stet’s story is magical, but I worried about how future QB recruits would view the program since Kirby has a ton of talent at QB that’s been riding behind Stetson for a while. I know it sounds silly now, and I love Stetson, but that was my worry at the beginning. Running it back with him at QB was never a question I had, just how future 5 star recruits would view us.

I cannot deny Bennett's uncanny ability to come thru in the clutch, but I would have loved to see what Aaron Murray could have done if he was surrounded with the same talent. Yes, he had some great RBs behind him, but I also recall Murrey taking beating at times due to marginal OL play.

Georgia fans wanting JT Daniels at the beginning of last season, including me, weren't necessarily wrong at the time. We have seen Stetson do boneheaded things at times. The problem is Stetson got better. A lot better. Improving nearly every game for the last two years. This is not the same Stetson. Georgia's receivers weren't running wide open against TCU for the most part. The coverage wasn't terrible. Stetson Bennett put EVERY throw EXACTLY where it needed to be. Just a tremendous performance, and a credit to his work ethic and preparation over the last several years. If Georgia had to play another game next week, I would take Stetson over any qb who has ever suited up for Georgia.

TCU didn't quit they never got started 🤣🤣🤣🏈🏈🏈🤣🤣🤣

Stetson “THE MAILMAN” Bennett is not just the Dawgs 🐐, he is the 🐐 of college football QB’s.

I would have been a superstar if I walked on the middle school FB team as a high school senior too...

It's Herschel, Pollack, Sinkwich, and Stetson

Stetson Bennett or Kirby Smart number one, Herschel and Pollock have to be on there as well. Sorry trippy and Dooley

I know he helped win Championships but is Bennett really a 'better football player' than say Jalen Carter or Brock Bowers or David Pollack or Nick Chubb and so on. How to even know that?

I think SBIV has to be #1 on the Rushmore after Monday night. Herschell has been the defacto ambassador for UGa for 43 years but 2 NCs, 1 SEC Championship, 4 Playoff MVP trophys, Heisman Finalist, and single season passing record says he is #1 and I don't see anybody dethroning him for a long time. There have been many greats, from Trippi, to Tarkenton, to Murray, but SBIV cemented his legacy the other night. They have one statue at UGa, of Herschell, and it doesn't even stay in one place. It moves around for marketing. SBIV will assuredly have a permanent statue right outside Sanford Stadium, and right next to Kirby's and Vince's statues. Make it happen Georgia!!!

Here is a question to consider: Which player was singly most responsible for 2 national titles?

Might be easier to group it....Stetson and Herschel, but there are probably others from the past that have been forgotten. Was there a hero from 1942?

I have watched both Bennett and Walker play. Walker was other-worldly, commonly ranked as the best player in college ever. Georgia did not need a passing game as Walker could be the entire offense beginning his freshman year.

I was never against Big Game Bennett! I've honestly supported him since day 1. I agree many UGA fans have not. I loved his story since last year. I'm not all about the 5 stars. I loved when Kirby gave him a shot, and the same with Ladd, and Bullard. I've supported Kirby since he came on board, and I don't second guess coach Smart. Though many have. As for Stetson Bennett, yes! He is the pinnacle of UGA football with Hershal Walker. From where he started, his story is one of the best in history. Most improved player in history! The greatest QB in UGA history. They need to retire his #13... I've thought since he showed he could handle Alabama in the National Championship, that he would do it again. I've told so many UGA fans that Coach knows what he is doing, and he has confidence in Big Game Bennett. So of course I do. But I see you're point. As 95% of UGA fans did indeed want Carson Beck starting before Oregon.

I wish I could find my comment stream defending Bennett for the last 3 years. He saved Georgia vs Arkansas in 20’. He was beating Alabama in 20’. He was up 14-0 over Florida in 20’ before he was injured. Alabama and Florida 20’ were two of his 3 losses. Daniels came in after the Florida injury and I thought “well I guess that’s it for Bennett “ But even though Daniels finished the season without losing, it was kind of “meh”. Georgia was out of the SEC championship after the Florida game. Something about Daniels didn’t jive at Georgia. I don’t know if it was the injuries or the outside influences of his personal qb coach or personal doctor keeping him out. Regardless, I’ve defended Bennett over and over . Georgia media was convinced they couldn’t win a championship with Bennett. Mike Griffith , Brandon Adams , that moron Uncle Lou All these guys claimed Georgia had to have Daniels to win. Wrong. I was in from the beginning. That’s a fact. That’s why I want my comment thread from KZread to prove it. I got another one for you- He’s going to show out at the combine. People are going to flip at how strong his arm actually is. I think he’s going to run a 4.5 / 40. And he’s a shoe-in to impress NFL teams in the brains department. I can’t wait for this guy to prove everybody wrong..again

As a Dawg fan, Stetson for me is the most successful player in UGA’s history. But for my money, he’s not the best football player to come out of that program. Let’s keep it 💯. He’s not a better athlete than any of those greats mentioned by Greg. Without Kirby Stetson would not even be in this conversation.
