Now take young off the field and replace him with your backup. You know, like uga did when JTD got hurt.


J.T. Daniels was 22-30 for 135 yards with 1 INT in that game against Clemson. It's not like he lit up the scoreboard. And unlike Young, Bennett actually had significant game experience coming into the season. Also...it's not like Daniels suffered a season-ending injury. He was cleared to play the latter half of the season. If he was clearly better than Bennett, Smart would have started him.

clemson had a really good defense, and it was the first game of the year.

what does that have to do with game 15?

correct, so he was hurt half the season. He started game 1. They sat him for game 2 against a scrub as a precaution. He started game 3 and played without issue. He started game 4 and was pulled after the 1st quarter. He wasn't healthy enoguh to play again until November. But by that point things were humming along smoothly enough to where we were fine rolling with stetson. That doesn't negate the fact that JT Daniels was our starting QB in 2022.

They had a 9 month offseason in 2021 to determine who was better and kirby decided JT was, so he started him in game 1.

You seem to be missing the point and ignoring numerous factors in regards to that game.

His health wasn’t reliable enough to give him that job back
