I wasnt impressed with those stats either, but I was very impressed by this..
Keller Chryst QB Stanford 2017 - YouTube
The one thing JG showed was he WAS mentally tough? Whatd you watch? Sure he pouted the first game. But he quickly owned up to it. He went in play after play with no oline and never quit.
The JG supporters must have watched last season play out in an alternate dimension where extreme mediocrity is celebrated.
Don't know what the outcome may be, but this kid has been in a stable program and well coached in an effective offensive scheme. He also has good size and weight. I don't think the staff is just adding depth. I think they are getting their QB for 2018 if JG rises up to take the spot, so be it. Win/Win
How can you judge a young QB that had horrible coaching, no protection, in an atrocious offense, on a fractured and disinterested football team, under an unexperienced offensive coordinator who proved incapable? Where can you find any absolutes about this kid?
Most times with the grad transfers, they have a lot of experience but lack elite talent. Not this guy. He was the #3 QB in the 2014 class. He still might play like a total scrub, but I can at least buy into him being a legit competitor for the starting job.
Nice way to close the deal for Pruitt and his staff!!! I didnt this cat would sign with the Vols.
Man, I think this kid is a dark horse. Red-Shirted, got beat out by Burns, but won the starting job back, then tore his ACL. Touch breaks.
One cool note, He never lost a game he started at Stanford! Nice prospect.
