“Just win baby”

Like when sims started over Bray or worley over Dobbs because they were safer options? Yeah cool. If we can't crown jg after a practice or 2 then how can you crown kc as the leader after 1 good practice when most reports, even some from you, were that jg was better in almost every other practice.

Worley was better than Dobbs at that point in time though. Who knows Chryst may be better than JG at this point in time.

"Too many turnovers for Pruitt's liking. I think Guarantano held the ball too long some today."

JG holding the ball too long was an issue with him last year. Sacks will absolutely kill a drive on offense, gotta get that fixed.

I’d like to see Pruitt hand Rucker his arse. He is one smug SOB.

Smug. That’s the word. Rucker is smug.

He must learn to check down or get rid of the ball

That seems to be the main reason he's not the #1 QB already. Chryst is much more of a game manager and that might lead to him winning the job if JG can't fix that quickly.

Thanks Ron

I think you’re reading too much into it, honestly. Coaches know a lot more about what JG brings to the table right now because they saw him up close and personal all spring. This was likely KC’s shot at proving what he brings in a scrimmage setting with the 1s. Who gets more work with the 1s Here on out will be more telling than today.

Most teams only do 2-3 full scrimmages before the season. I don’t think you have can waste one just to that if you don’t feel one is the guy. Just to “give him a shot”

 

[Big Gucci Sosa]

Remember when we though JG was going to be great.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

KC got the majority of the 1st team work today.

That makes no sense.

 

[Catbone]

Unless JG is with the 1s in the next scrimmage, the QB battle is over.

 

[Rishvol]

Still has a chance

 

[Big Gucci Sosa]

Still has a chance

I don’t think he has it mentally.

 

[volatil]

I heard nothing from Lewis and Simonton in that video that gives a suggestion to the leader.

I’ll wait to see who is UNDER CENTER against WVU.

They didn't see a single snap of the scrimmage. They were just talking about Pruitt's 12 minute press conf after the scrimmage where he gave very little info.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

He will lose you games if he can’t hit deep and intermediate passes. Teams will key in on short passes and try to stuff the run

Exactly..if they throw that mediocre hack out there, and watching this offense is going to be like getting a root canal

We can always count on McGill to say nice things about the players.

 

[HankHill]

In regards to Shrout. Yes he can spin the piss out of the ball. If he is the front runner for the QB spot next year it wouldn’t totally hurt my feelings. He’s already passed McBride imo.

 

[HankHill]

from sources Chryst connected on a deep ball around 50 yards that really impressed the coaches

True. Not sure why people act like he’s a pie thrower. He doesn’t have a bazooka but a lot of QBs aren’t.

 

[Sleegro]

Worley was better than Dobbs at that point in time though. Who knows Chryst may be better than JG at this point in time.

I don't remember worley ever being better than Dobbs.

 

[gunner]

There’s no way you can watch KC play at Stanford and look at his stats and say he’s “terrible”. That’s just not logical. Underwhelming, mediocre fine but come on.

Idk why people are so caught up on the long term. If JG isn’t good enough for the coaches now that they choose to play a 1 year rental over him then it doesn’t matter. We need to win now worse than every. Do you know how hard it is to recruit and create mommentum off a 4-8 year

He was terrible at Stanford only completing 54.2 percent of his passes on the season. Against Oregon State he was 16-33 for 141 yards and 1 interception, and then he was benched for the rest of the season.

Pac-12: Stanford makes change at QB, waits on Bryce Love

Another former player at a major college football program announced Sunday that he has joined first-year Tennessee coach Jeremy Pruitt's staff. Nate Andrews, a former Florida State safety, posted on his Twitter account that he has been hired as a graduate assistant for the Vols after starting 20 games for the Seminoles over the past five years.

"I'm excited to announce that I will be joining the University of Tennessee staff as a GA! Excited to take this next step in my career by learning from the best! #GBO #PoweredByTheT," Andrews tweeted on Sunday.

Andrews is the latest of several former college and NFL players with ties to Tennessee or Pruitt's staff who have been added to the Vols' support staff over the past several months.

At Florida State, Andrews played under Pruitt as a true freshman in 2013, when Pruitt served as the Seminoles' defensive coordinator. Charles Kelly, Tennessee's safeties coach and special teams coordinator, was Florida State's defensive coordinator for the past four years, while current Vols quality control assistants Tino Sunseri and Bert Biffani also were quality control assistants under former Florida State head coach Jimbo Fisher.

For anyone who missed the press conference:

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

We can always count on McGill to say nice things about the players.

I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said that. It was an emotional response to crap news for me. If they can't use JGs talent, then this offense is going to suck. Checking down all the time isn't going to score points.
