Jake Bentley: (Not) SEC Offensive Player of the Week
- Thread starter DarkCock
- Start date
Not going to get recognition playing against the acc. Midget conference
Bentley definitely deserved at least a share of it. He played an incredible game.
Our whole offense deserves a lot of credit for the way they've turned things around recently.

No matter how great Bentley played, we didn't win. That's the key here.
And losing don't help, either. Probably should have been Mond. He was great in an epic game - which his team WON..
Oh. OK. They should change the name of the award to SEC Players of The Week Whose Teams Won
Devin White, linebacker from LSU, made the list and his team lost and his side of the ball gave up 74 points!
Probably penalized players from USC, UK,UF and UGA for playing out of conference competition. Stupid, no matter the reason.
Or Deebo with 210 yards receiving!
Jake put up 510 passing yards against the number two team in the country. It's a travesty that he got shafted like this.
The funny part is that is actually the reason he didn't get the award. It appears the SEC doesn't recognize out of conference games when determining players of the week.
This can’t be true. Pretty sure we’ve had guys win the award during a week against non-conference opponent.
That's right. Individual accolades only matter if your team wins. They know that at places that win more than we do.
That's week ONE. There were no conference games that week.
I'll check last year's final week to compare.
Exactly! And losing by 21, he never had a chance. Mama is always going to get the benefit of the doubt in the sec.
Jake needed a TD throw while getting off the bus because that defense wasn't stopping Clemson at all.
So Jake Fromm did win Player of the Week for his play against Georgia Tech last year.
Wow.
No wonder Muschamp is ticked.

It is sold as THE indiviual player who put on the best performance. Right rename it the player who put on the best performance and his team won. Deebo wasn't shabby.
Coach pointed out that no previous SEC qb has EVER passed for 500 yards against a top-five opponent. He said the awards have a lot to do with the logo you're wearing.
And Shurmur had 367 yards and 3 td's against a team with the same number of SEC wins this year as Jake's opponent has. (They won, I know).

Hey, I never said that's the way they always do it. I'm saying that's how they ought to do it. That way, your better players keep playing after they've got their numbers if their teams are behind.
You ought to do what's best for the program. IMO, that means promoting your players and stressing the positive.
It works.
For example,
Mike Williams was ACC Receiver of the Week after Clemson lost to Pitt.
Hey, put the stats out there. But to the victor belong the spoils. Nobody needs to be taking bows when the team is losing. If he's that great, and losing, it just means he chose the wrong team.
Yeah, that was a pretty good zinger Muschamp threw out there. The reporter even asked him if wanted to drop the mic after that.
While he might have been speaking the truth, that wasn't necessarily a smart thing to say. He's telling his skill recruits they'll get more favorable attention someplace else.
everybody seems mesmerized by this early draft thing which was dreamed by one of the hack writers for the local rag to sell papers.... if the guy has any sense, he'll be under center here next year--I some how think that there are multiple QBs to be in the PRO-draft next year. I could be wrong but I see 5 or 6 names mentioned fairly consistently.
You have no business posting on a sports board. This is the most unintelligent and detrimental post of the year.
Possibly. They might also see it as their coach sticking up for them. It might instill an "Us against the world" mentality. That approach worked for a certain team in the Upstate.
I'm not thinking there was that much sophistication involved.
If the coaches can't teach them to tackle, how can they successfully play sophisticated mind games with them?
And if they can't learn how to tackle......well, you know.If the coaches can't teach them to tackle, how can they successfully play sophisticated mind games with them?
