i think JG will handle it fine. he has a say in how this competition ends. so does KC. the only thing that's a 100% certainty at this point in time is that KC will not be here for 2019. past that....

we've had 1 scrimmage.

Let’s hope he does. Didn’t exactly look like he handled it well last year. You’re right though, lots of practice to get better.

The writer is trying to create more articles by insinuating Keller had a big day and is ahead just after they said JG was ahead. He’s just trying to create Drama so they have something to write about. I doubt that anyone there would leak info like this too after Pruitt made it a closed scrimmage. Hence a “closed scrimmage”

So you are calling the writer a liar

Some one here are delusional. Dang If we could only have a betting pool as to who starts. If I could bet all you JG fans $10., lets see, $20k? or more? Easy Money!@

I'm a fan of whoever gives us the best chance to win. But looking in to the future, we better hope its JG, because if Chryst starts, JG will almost certainly transfer, leaving no one serviceable behind Chryst. Unless our current QB commit is ready to step in right away, and we dont really need that, we're not set up well for next year either. JG needs to take the job, run with it, and be the QB for the next 2-3 years. All JMO, IMO, TIFWIW.

IMO Chryst was brought in to be a solid back up option to JG. Good planning by the staff.

NO, I'm saying he is writing an article based on someone else's interpretation of events that he did not see, and I'm saying that that is no more reliable than the previous comments we have gotten from other media sources. Why do you think this one article is infallible, yet the other media guys opinions aren't worthy?

Why are you discrediting this article? Because it says KC had a good scrimmage?

My point was that soooooo many in here want to act as if this is gospel, when even the author doesn't know the validity of the claims made. At least when the media guys have given opinions in the past it was based on what they seen in practice, and was corroborated. This has neither.

Fair enough, but KC had other options too I’m sure. Fact is, KC prob will end of being your starter. Let’s see how JG handles it bc both should play at some point. If JG can’t hammer down the position this year, I don’t think he’s in orange next year.

It seems as if to most of the JG haters he will never grow up from the GT game. They ignore everything else he did to mature since then, and only speculate if he may be able to mature.

What has he done exactly...the way he held the ball and took sacks. He didn’t win a game. I really don’t understand what good thoughts could come from watching him last year

I’d like to see a list of the redshirt freshmen QB’s who handled the total coaching, teaching and fundamentals breakdown of the program they started for in their first season...”well”. All freshman damned if they don’t start off great? Don’t subscribe to that line of thinking, myself. Chryst wasn’t GREAT and he had as solid a program as you can find behind him.

When I first heard that he was coming to the hill I thought it was an odd move... I think I was mistaken. Sounds like he is making it really hard on the coaches. JG should clearly be the guy because you can build for the future but if KC is the better player this year than you have to go with him.

Yep.

I was pleased to read the encouraging news of the Vols secondary. "Each quarterback was victimized by a newcomer in the Tennessee secondary on interceptions that were as much about sterling defensive efforts as anything else. Bryce Thompson picked off Chryst while Trevon Flowers snagged an interception off a Guarantano toss."

Getting snaps with the 1st string is not an indicator to me. Schaffer got 1st team reps. Fulmer wanted to give him a shot during the UNLV game as a true freshman. I believe all along that Fulmer had Ainge pegged as the eventual starter, so he let Schaffer start and eliminate himself from the competition.
Sure, Schaffer showed out during the UNLV game but after than Ainge slowly got the job, then when Schaffer got out of bed and chased down a guy who had insulted his girlfriend, that was the end of Schaffer.

So you think a HC wastes 1st team reps on a guy he doesn't think can be the starter and then avoids having his starter get in sync with the 1st team personnel?

If it was the ONLY scrimmage? No. It wasn’t.

Good point. Just not the one I was responding to. Rudy seemed to suggest that Fulmer gave Schaeffer the starters reps while all the while planning on Ainge being the starter.

IIRC, they split the starter's reps and had a package for each of them until Ainge emerged as the full time starter.

That was completely overplayed on TV and got turned into a narrative as if there's never been anybody frustrated on a sideline before. Knowing how things turned out, I'm surprised a player didn't but Butch with a steel chair during a game.

I read that as KC had his best showing, not necessarily the best showing of all QBs. Also one scrimmage is not going to make either QB the starter. I feel like JG has a pretty firm grip on the starting position from everything I'm hearing. I don't think the coaches brought KC in with plans on starting him. I think they saw a very young QB room that needed someone with experience in it. I'm sure they did not feel confident in McBride or Shrout as a solid #2 QB and felt they needed someone they could trust in that spot.

Then again I'm not a coach so I could be completely off base here. That's just they way I see it.

You want JG to be the starter. Everyone gets that. But be consistent. You accused me of wanting to squelch "good news"... then you actually do what you accused me of. If you are going to be that sensitive to "good news" concerning one guy being downplayed then don't downplay "good news" about the other one.

I don't have a favorite. I want the best guy to win. I want the game 1 starter to perform at a high level and start every game. JG has one of the best arms UT has had in a long time. But like it or not, his maturity and decision making are in question until HE proves they aren't issues any more. KC has a good arm and has shown accuracy in the past but has also had his decision making questioned. When he got hurt, his back up performed so much better than he never got the job back. Both guys have a ton to prove.

Disagree. The reporting afterwards pretty much confirmed it was pretty much what it appeared to be.

JG thought Jones promised him PT. That seems clear. Jones reneged. That's obvious. JG's sulking and not supporting his teammates is STILL a sign of immaturity that you don't need from a guy who is one play away from leading your football team.

I don’t have an agenda for either QB so I read this as his sources report that KC had a better scrimmage than JG. From your posts I gather you don’t want KC at qb. I just want the guy that can gets us the most wins.
