Stetson Bennett….

he only passed for 320 yards in the all the 4th qtrs all season, don’t let the stats fool you. His stats are better than any qb in the country vs. ranked teams. uga took the air out of it, hooker should be there but to say a kid who qb only 1 loss over 2 years shouldn’t be there is crazy.
Bennett is solid and has tons of heart, but there are a couple dozen QB's who could lead Georgia to championships. They have a huge talent advantage in every game they play.
He's not making the plays Bryce Young or Hooker are making.

Hooker should have been a finalist, but don’t have a problem with Bennett being there. He showed up big in big games.

One counterpoint to all the teeth gnashing about it is, unlike all the other QBs he is being compared to, he did not have the WRs the others did. He did have a TE no one else had.

The argument behind Bennett one of my coworkers brought up was he didn’t play much or need to throw much in the 4th qtr so his numbers are low but when compared through 3 quarters he was well above everyone and had highest qbr even over Hooker. That is the argument a lot of uga fans are using.

Yeah and they dated a hot girl over summer, but she's from Canada we wouldn't know her.

do they really, I mean Vol wrs are better. Vol Rbs are as good, Vol Qb is as good, I mean the kid sure made some nice runs in several games to include against the Vols that he manufactured. If kid passes it 5 times in every 4th qtr, he has 36 more completions and another 400 yards and most likely 6 more tds. If you don’t think his numbers could have been padded if UGA wanted, you are kidding yourself.

If you think our TE's, RB's, OL or defense is anywhere near what Georgia is, I don't know what else to tell you.

No. Don't say the Heisman Trophy should be anything. The Heisman Trophy Trust has been around awhile. Their mission statement says what the winner epitomizes.
Have your own award if you'd like. Call it whatever you want. But you don't have the right to change their criteria because you don't agree with it.

I know what the official criteria are for the Heisman trophy, and Hendon Hooker fits all of those perfectly. Anyone who is not already aware of that doesn’t know much about HH.

In fact you’re the one who inserted your own criteria. You led with all the dude does is win. Where does that appear in the mission statement?

I doubt he wins it probably be the kid from
USC
The Voters Must be overlooking that part of the Heisman where it talks about winning w/ integrity . I wonder what his Nails will look like in NYC? I would also love to see what happens if tries that in the League.

...a DGD. All the dude does is win. Stat-happy folks don't agree.
Similar stats to Doug Flutie when he won in '84.


Stetson Bennett should just be thankful for his defense. There is nothing special about him, his stats, or anything else he does. Recruiting classes averaged #2 over the past 5 years. Without that, Stetson is nothing and that’s a fact. He couldn’t duplicate what Hendon Hooker or the TCU QB did this year with the talents they played with this year.

Winning falls under "great ability". Outside of SBIV, can you name me a Heisman candidate who was a loser?

Dude yer kiddin, right? Let me ask you, what could HH do with UGA's receiving corps? (not that anyone could answer that) Ladd McConkey was his deep threat. Kirby's D is legendary (again). The offense? It's been well documented, and on this very site, that UGA can't keep up with anyone who can score alot of points. They just don't have the talent. No one has done more with less than SBIV. Speaks to his ability. Just my opinion

Heisman trophy awardees are winners. Hendon Hooker is a winner. Lamar Jackson won a much lower percentage of his games than most Heisman trophy winners, is he not a winner? The award is not supposed to be about finding the team with the best record and picking their qb.

I’m pretty sure that statistics inform about ability, even though some seem to think those are evil. But now I just feel bad for AJ McCarron and Greg McElroy for being snubbed despite being “winners.”

Hooker could probably throw a 10yd pass and let the unknown TE miraculously run 50 yds for a TD despite his lack of athleticism and natural ability.

No one has done more with less? LOLOLOLOL That’s one of the most asinine comments ever. Georgia recruiting classes have averaged #2 over the past 5 years. It must be tough to be so talent deprived.

If heisman trophies were handed out for dwarfism, lack of self awareness, cockiness, riding on the coat tails of others, looking like a goober, absolutely no NFL potential, absolutely embarrassing nicknames, and the most punchable face at KA parties….then Stetson Bennett jrjrjrjr is my man!!!!

Hooker is a much better QB than Bennett. Think about it this way. Hooker knew with our terrible defense, he had to score at least 40 or more per game or we would lose. Imagine if he knew that 20-25 points would allow us to win 99% of our games. Hooker would have done a better job because he is simply a better thrower, can read defenses better and is just overall better..
