Agree about Bennett’s age. 
 

I still think he’s a better QB than AR right now. 

He is far from the better prospect though. Give Bennett Florida’s weapons and he would be an afterthought in the NCAA. He wouldn’t get drafted. Backup game manager is his ceiling. AR might have the highest ceiling in the draft.

Last night, Bennett was throwing with anticipation into windows that I see some NFL starters struggle to hit. I won’t disagree AR may have the better potential, but he’s pretty far from being the passer Bennett is.

Yeah, Bennett is 25 years old.  Which is older than I think 4 of the NFL playoff QBs this year.   Something about his age playing amongst college kids taints it me a little bit and takes some of the shine off it….at least for me.  
 

college football just in a weird space all around IMO so who cares.  Might as well deem it pro ball/ minor leagues. 

The combo of NIL, wild rampant transferring, and extra COVID years has just created a damn mess. I think the system will adapt in coming years but right now it does basically feel like minor league pro sports with no cap and no contracts. Basically just a poo show.

What an awful game. Absolutely no fun to watch at all if you wanted to see anything competitive. I have no idea how TCU beat Michigan as I feel like maybe Michigan would have put up a much better game even though I personally can't stand Michigan 

They should have seeded tcu 4 and osu 3. I knew this would be a 30 plus point blow out.  Only way to avoid that would have been me betting on uga to cover 12.5

I had forgotten about his age. That's another huge red flag for him.

I agree with college football being awful this year.  I don't agree with your analysis on Bennett's age.  It's not the movie Billy Madison where a full grown man goes around blocking the shots of third graders.  If you're saying he plays smarter because of his age then that's a good thing.  I wouldn't want the guy as a 1st round pick because of that age factor, but between rounds 3-5 it would be a great pick, and that's not an indictment on his ability to start at the next level.  Would you take him or Zach WIlson?

I don't think Bennett is an NFL starter but I wouldn't bet against him carving out a career as a backup.

I agree.  We've seen many back up QB's that we'd have never thought they could be on a NFL team .  When Taylor Heincke was at Old Dominion,  no one was saying he could be an NFL QB. There are examples all over the NFL of QB's  making teams and actually contributing . Kurt Warner.. many.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
