One former SEC quarterback thinks Jake Bentley will benefit from an offense where he has to think less and can play more instinctively. Another former SEC QB says Bentley is one of “the best pre-snap quarterbacks there is as far as his ability and knowledge.”
Twenty games into the career of South Carolina’s starting quarterback, opinions are mixed on where Bentley fits into a crowded field of Southeastern Conference quarterbacks that includes Jarrett Stidham at Auburn, Drew Lock at Missouri, Nick Fitzgerald at Mississippi State, Jake Fromm at Georgia and Tua Tagovailoa at Alabama.
“I love Jake,” said Jordan Rodgers, a former Vanderbilt quarterback who is now an SEC Network analyst.
