Hooker is not a Heisman finalist and you don't want to know who is 🤬

Stetson played 2 1/3 more games, against basically the same competition, except Georgia played Oregon instead of Alabama. How is he in with these stats and Hooker is out? He’s not the best player on his offense, let alone his team.

Johnny Majors biggest snub in Heisman history. Charles Woodson over Peyton the biggest media coup in history. Hendon Hooker not being invited is the biggest atrocity in the Awards history.

It’s almost like they knew they could rely on their advantages at literally every other position to win the game. Odd.

Like in our game he threw 2 touchdown passes and ran for another one in the first 20 minutes, and then he didn't need to do much more. He played good against us last year and the year before that too. I'll take my chances with his replacement next year.

He didn’t need to do much more, because even against the best offense in the nation, he only had to lead his team to a modest output to win. He was in the exact opposite situation as Hendon, who had to be firing on all cylinders all the time or we’d lose.

He did alright against Michigan and Alabama in the playoffs last year.

For one, we're talking about this year, since that is all that is relevant for the 2022 Heisman.

Secondly, he played like ass most of the national title game. He hit 1 long pass at the end of the game. Credit to him. But if you think anyone but the Bama defense won that game, you are mistaken. He also got owned by Bama in the SECCG a month prior.

I see you didn't want to respond to the actual facts in my comment. So what do you have to say about his piss poor performances against the only good defenses on his schedule?

Looks like a lot of people agree and so he is there. He played within the system and did what was asked of him. He has risen to the occasion when needed. He is the leader of that team and has overcome more adversity than anyone else on that list. He is the epitome of perseverance. He’s a winner. Haters gonna hate but he beat the ass of UT and very other Sec team for 2 straight years…as a walk on unrated recruit.

Bennett didn’t beat anyone. Georgia is still undefeated and a better team with Hooker, Young, Stroud, or Williams as QB. Kirby would’ve already replaced him if he were able to.

Stetson Bennett isn’t even a TOP 3 PLAYER ON HIS SIDE OF THE BALL ON HIS TEAM - see Brock Bowers, Ladd McConkey, Kenny McIntosh. WOW!!!! And to think I couldn’t have disliked Georgia and Bennett even more…

Bennett didn't vote for himself. No need to make him out to be the villain over this. I'm a Georgia grad and will readily admit Hooker should have been a finalist, but a lot of very qualified people felt the same about Bennett. The guy is a gamer. Stats don't tell nearly the whole story. The complain based on stats is...I don't know. You should just know better.

I mean, they just scored 50 on LSU but okay. I just have less of a problem with Bennett being on the list than Duggan. Hooker should have been invited but at least Bennett plays in a real league. He threw two 4th quarter touchdowns to beat Bama in the national championship last year. That's more impressive to me than Duggan's heroics against Kansas State and Baylor both of whom would be 4 or 5 win teams in the SEC.

Yup. Hooker owned everyone we played except UGA, who obviously have an elite defense. Bennett struggled against UK and Mizzu.

They kept Hooker out because if they let him in he might be voted in ! I quit watching this fiasco when ESPN ran a campaign for Charles Woodsen over Manning.( I saw that one hand interception till I wanted to puke). I will never watch it again !!

About 20-30 other QBs before I utter the name Stetson Bennett. Literally half the teams in the SEC have a better QB than Bennett. Hell we have 2 QBs better than Bennett, imo. Bennett isn't even likely to be drafted. Why in the hell is getting invited to NYC with such mediocre stats?

Didn't rise to the occasion vs Mizzu or UK. If UGA didn't have an elite defense, UGA gets dominated in both those games.

Your point would be valid if he had never beaten a good defense but he has. How has Hooker faired against Georgia's defense? Does that invalidate Hooker's performances against other good defenses? As I've said multiple times I think Hooker should have been invited I just think Bennett is not the least deserving on the list.

But he actually did enough to win those games. If it’s and buts were candy and nuts we would all have a merry Christmas. Hooker didn’t even have a TD against UGA.
