Despite the Georgia Bulldogs winning the national championship for the first time in 41 years, disrespect for quarterback Stetson Bennett is still high.
PFF recently rated Bennett as 34th place in the ranking protector in the country and No. 10 in the mall for the 2022 season. Not a very good place for a passer who did what no other quarterback in America could do last season. Brad Crawford of 247Sports also published its SEC quarterback rating in which Bennet registered at number 8.
Former Georgia offensive lineman Matt Stinchomb, now an analyst for the SEC Network, is one of the few people who actually gives Bennett the respect he deserves.
He recently ranked among the top five quarterbacks in the SEC, and appearance on the SEC network:

What Stinchcombe said:
“In rivalries, in tight games, in moments of engagement, he has the talent of Ben Roethlisberger. Defenders are thrown over him, delivering dimes around the field.

What Stinchcombe said:
“He has ten wins next to his name last year… but also 13 picks, that hurt him a little.”

What Stinchcombe said:
“Everyone is talking about Tennessee. Tennessee is a frustrated dark horse. The only reason you believe that is because they have a quarterback. He is the initiator of one of the fastest crimes in the entire country, and he is a real double threat.”

What Stinchcombe said:
“This is the guy who won the national championship. This is not a beauty contest. It’s not seven on seven… All he did was win 14 games and the national championship… As long as you walk off the field as a winner, this is the guy you want to be your quarterback.”

What Stinchcombe said:
“You only want to talk about pure passing qualities, right? And some numbers. What’s the gap with Bryce Young and American football’s balance sheet for the coming season? I think it’s pretty significant.”
