What are reasonable expectations for his first year at UK?
64% Completion , 2:1 TD to pick rate and 2800 yards for the season passing. 15 YPG rushing. That would put him in mid-tier SEC rankings IMO. He doesn't have much game experience but he has been with one of the top teams in college football for 3 years so he has had some excellent coaching and a lot of practice snaps against some of the best defensive players in football so he probably has a bit higher ceiling than that.
If he does as well as what you’ve stated I’ll be quite the happy camper.I think he has a bigger year than you predicted. With the WR talent UK has I think he does something like 26 TD with 5-7 int. Of course that would depend how much CMS allows the offense to open up. And he is a much better runner than seems to be getting credit for, but GA private school classification is SEC, but he looked good when he pulled it down and took off at UGA. I think he is over 3k total offenses fairly easy.
Think this is a good prediction of what to expect if he avoids injury. He can definitely run.I think he has a bigger year than you predicted.

Totally agree You know he’s practiced for all his time at UGA against some of the best talent/defense in the country I know that’s not real game experience but you cant ask for better practice preparationHe will get much better as the season progresses
I think Bennet is one of the coolest football stories I’ve seen in a long time, especially for how great he played and how amazing UGA was. Don’t see players often not hyped and walk on only to become a player like that and drafted.Well of course it's a prediction made with him having no serious injury. He is a much better athlete than some here seem to think he is. He doesn't have the quickness and elusiveness of Stetson Bennet, but is much stronger physically and probably faster 40 time. When he played for UGA, I thought if anything he was too quick to pull it down and take off, of course that was on limited snaps.

If he only throws 5-7 Interceptions this offense will be golden.I think he has a bigger year than you predicted. With the WR talent UK has I think he does something like 26 TD with 5-7 int.

Save the talk for games
Olympics
In the UGA Spring Game, I thought he looked a tad quicker than Will Levis, but without Levis’s power.
BVG had a thousand yard rushing season in HS, so it is something he was good at at a far lower level.
Hall I think but not sure who else right now. Hall has not made it yet but is close, I think. Watched some trials last night along with UT / AM baseball game.How many former Cats make the Olympics?
One whose name was not familiar to
me made it today or yesterday. Sydney Mac is a lock. Abbey Steiner is likely. Might have some Olympic shooters, too.

I'd rather have a guy that takes off too quick and then work on adjusting him off that from there thatn have one that is reluctant or just slow to take off and use his feet to make plays when needed. Hard to get those guys to change where I think you can teach Brock to be a little more patient but still have the instinct to take off and make a play.Well of course it's a prediction made with him having no serious injury.

good point. I think I recall reading some data to support that. The QB in the pocket is unprotected, but if running can either lower his shoulders to protect or slide. Of course the 3rd option is to throw the ball away.I know the threat of injury gets brought up but I still contend that there's a bigger threat of getting hurt standing in a collapsing pocket with 350 pounders falling into your legs than running where you can prepare for the hits or just get down.
Ive said it before but a QB's ability to use his feet to make big plays and keep drives alive is the biggest weapon and biggest threat to defenses in college football.

It has to be part of the offense today.

You can never have too many shootersHow many former Cats make the Olympics?

Simply true and well stated.
Look at the last two Super Bowls!!
And here’s a stat that will make you think: BVG ran for more yards his best two years in HS than did the QB for Kansas City in his best two in high school. (Likely vastly different talent levels faced, though).

but you don't want your starting QB lowering his shoulder to get an extra yard.
I remember him missing a game or 2, but couldn't remember when he was hurt.Yeah.
Levis’s first year, he was the hammer, and not the nail, and consistently got behind his pads to avoid injury.
His second year was slowed by an injury sustained against Ole Miss on the road. The Lord Giveth, and the Lord Taketh Away.
I remember him missing a game or 2, but couldn't remember when he was hurt.
Legend has it Levis broke his toe kicking something in frustration of the ole Miss loss. And hampered him the rest of the yr.
Yep. And the upside you get by the playmaking advantage of a, I wont say running QB but lets say a QB that will take off when needed makes it even more of a plus vs a guy that hangs in the pocket looking for his third or 4th read taking sacks and getting taking hits there.good point. I think I recall reading some data to support that. The QB in the pocket is unprotected, but if running can either lower his shoulders to protect or slide. Of course the 3rd option is to throw the ball away.
Yeah Levis was a little reckless with his running sometimes, got caught up in the macho thing a little. You dont want to do that and dont really want to be running all the time. I'm just one that believes the ability to break the pocket on pass plays and take off is a HUGE threat today and much more of an offensive weapon than standing there and looking for read 3 or 4. The success rate on completions to reads 3 or 4 vs. the success rate of a QB that can avoid the rush and take off are 180 from each other in the take off favor.I think the pulling it down quick comes from playing small private school ball, he was just a better athlete than anyone else and could get a 1st down running easier than making a tough throw. I think that is just a habit.
As for getting injuries by 350 lb all around your feet, sure it can happen, but lots of new rules to protect a QB today, can't touch their helmets, or go low on them when in pocket, but if they run they can slide and not be hit. But it's a collision sport, and injury can happen at any time. BV isn't frail, not a Tebow who is a monster by any stretch, but near Levis physically and if he runs smart should be fine, but you don't want your starting QB lowering his shoulder to get an extra yard.

Larry Munson was Georgia's Caywood Ledword. I always loved listening to Larry's broadcasts, very colorful.So true.
And it has always been a play that deflates /frustrates a defense.
I’ll never forget the classic call by UGA’s great play-by-play man (Larry Munson) when Lorenzen was gashing them up the middle: “Lorenzen looks like a Big Blue Christmas tree, and the Georgia defenders look like red ornaments hanging off of him.”
very colorful.
