JT or Stetson? The Fans Weigh In

We took to social media to ask the question, who should be the starting quarterback for Georgia as they take on the Florida Gators. There was a pretty resounding response.

Who is going to be the starting quarterback? 

If that question is proposed without a 100% definite answer on any football team in America, you've got yourself a talking point for your fanbase. 

Entering the season, Georgia had their definite answer in former USC Trojan turned Georgia Bulldogs, JT Daniels. Now, after missing four games this season, including the last three against ranked opponents, a former walk-on turned starter Stetson Bennett has emerged as a legitimate threat to Daniels' starting job. 

It's been the topic of conversation all week around the Georgia program, particularly from its passionate fanbase. 

We took to social media to ask, who should it be? Should Georgia start JT Daniels or Stetson Bennett? 

There were several commenters that believed that both deserved an opportunity and that frankly, it doesn't really matter. Most

I’ve always liked JT more, but Stetson has earned my respect this year. Ima trust Kirby/Todd to use the QB that gives us our best situation. Frankly I think the Gators get a heavy dose of both.

At this point, they've both proven they can get the job done. I really don't care one way or the other.

Honestly with this Defense……. It doesn’t really matter to me who plays QB I think both have the respect in the locker room and either we could win a natty with this team has bought in and is special 💯🗣🗣🗣

Most of that confidence coming from a historically dominant defense that is allowing less than a touchdown per game through seven games this season. Some fans believe that Georgia can just lean on their defense and play "good enough" offense to win a national title. 

As for other fans, most are on the JT Daniels train, and for varying reasons. 

Like the argument that JT Daniels provides a higher ceiling to this offense, just in case Georgia does get into a position where they are forced to score points in bundles. 

I think we could easily win our regular season games with Stet. But if we want to go win a title, then eventually we're gonna face an offense that's capable of scoring 25-30+ points on us. And when that happens, I think having JT Daniels gives us a better chance to win.

There were a few Stetson Bennett defenders, though there were heavily outweighed by JT Daniels votes and reasonings. 

IMO not arguing with anyone but I think stet has to be the man. Brings a whole different dynamic to this team. JT might have the better pure arm talent but Stet is making the throws rn. Plus I don’t feel confident in JT moving the pocket when things get ugly. Idk tho dawg by 90

And then of course there were my favorite responses to the tweet which were the 1990's WWE Wrestling memes like "because Stone Cold said so" or The Rock's famous "because."
