[QUOTE="Techster, post: 880697, member: 360"] Tell everyone you don't understand how stats work, and you don't understand football without telling us you don't understand stats and football. Young had the THIRD most passing attempts in all of college football last season. He passed the ball almost TWICE as much Bennett (as you pointed out). Of course he should have higher VOLUME numbers than Bennett. The fact that you would use volume numbers to compare to Bennett's numbers is quite silly. Bennett has more yards per attempt, more yards per completion, and more TDs per attempt/completion. That's why his efficiency rating is better than Young's, and that's why efficiency is more important than volume numbers. Does that mean everything? NO...but it does mean Bennett was a far better QB than just a "game manager". To Young's credit, he was pretty efficient himself. Also, you may want to check your statement that UGA's team was just the defense and the running game. UGA's running game was #36 in the country last year. Defense was one of the best in college football history, but you still have to have a good offense to win a National Championship...which UGA's was #3 in OFEI (right behind 'Bama's #2) which Bennett LED the offense to. To take it one step further, how much of an impact was Bennett at QB for UGA? Let's look at QBR which measures more than just stats...but the ability to make plays (both passing and running) when it matters: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.espn.com/blog/statsinfo/post/_/id/123701/how-is-total-qbr-calculated-we-explain-our-quarterback-rating[/URL] Bennett had the #3 QBR rating in 2021, behind CJ Stroud (#1) and Bryce Young (#2). [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.espn.com/college-football/qbr[/URL] This doesn't mean Bennett is the NFL prospect either of them are (and that's not the point of this discussion), but it does mean that Bennett is far better than just "a game manager". His performance on the field was just as important to UGA's winning as the defense. Last I checked, you're not going to win many games if the offense can't score, and UGA's offense was the #3 OFEI offense. IF you don't want to give Bennett credit for anything because he's a dawg and you're a homer, that's fine. But any comment that he didn't "lead" or he's just a "game manager" is just dumb and flies in the face of statistical facts. [/QUOTE]
