Sorry, but this remains to be seen. Sometimes I can see through my dislike for UGA and understand how certain players or seasons are hyped. With respect to Stafford, I fail to see it. He failed to impress as often last fall as he impressed. He saw little if anything to justify the hype that he was the next great Bulldog. Perhaps he will be, but that is yet to be seen.

As for Taylor, we have little of him. However, what we have seen looked as impressive if not moreso than anything we saw from Stafford (to be fair, I did not see Stafford play against Auburn as I was at UNC for the Tech game that day). That does not prove anything either, but I think it leaves the door open that Bennett might be the real deal. I would have never though Goose Godsey would have wound up as effective as a QB as he was based on his early appearances, so trying to call this horse as definitely as you have this early is just not possible.

Seriously, I think what has Tech fans excited is not so much the Ball-to-Bennett transition, as the Nix-to-Bond. Pat Nix came up with some nifty plays last season, but couldn’t execute in crunch time. And not to take culpability away from Ball, but I think Reggie’s lack of development had more to with his position coach than with lack of effort on Ball’s part.
