Stetson Bennett for Heisman is killing me. He’s not the best or most important player on his own team. He’s not the best QB in his own division, let alone conference. GA could trade him for, at minimum, a dozen other QBs and be better. Jake Fromm put up similar numbers at the same school on a worse team and wasn’t a heisman candidate. Aaron Murray put up far better numbers at the same school on a worse team and wasn’t a heisman candidate. And, Bennett has been included not just to the exclusion of Hooker, but also Bryce Young, Michael Penix, Blake Corum, and probably a bunch of other guys who are both far better and more important to their teams. Makes. No. Sense.

Edit - didn’t watch a single UNC game. Just discovered Drake Maye has 4000+ passing yards and 35 TDs to go with 600+ rushing yards and 7 more TDs. Only 7 ints. And Stetson Bennett is a heisman finalist. Unbelievable.

Someone, I forget who, answered my post about my concern about our DB recruiting for next year. Gave me a list of those coming in and their ranking. Really helped me to see the difference between what we have now and their ranks which were like 600 or 500 compared with those coming in that are, if I remember right, are 200 and no higher than 300. My question would be, do you guys (gals included) feel comfortable with the Freshman coming as potential starters or are you hoping for one or maybe two from the portal? I'll hang up and listen. :)

Honestly I think as fans what we have to realize is that there is more benefit than just expecting new talent to start. It creates a competition in the secondary, Jordan Matthews, Sylvester Smith, & Rickey Gibson probably aren't starting day 1 next year. But what them being in bowl practice and/or spring camp will do is force the other guys like Wesley Walker, Kamal Hadden, Dee Williams, Andre Turrrentine, Brandon Turnage, Christian Charles etc. to start handling the small details.

Competition always pushes the players already present to work a bit harder in the off-season. They'll start getting a bit more sleep/rest, start watching a bit more film, start staying a bit later at practice to get more reps, or work on the jug machine. Jalin Hyatt's season this year was about what he was doing when the coaches weren't watching him and coaching him.

And if the incoming guys ARE good enough to earn starting jobs then you're still getting more talent on the field.

So would you like one or two really experienced DB's from the portal or just roll with what we got?
