Wow. JG (along with his entire team btw) stunk it up this Sat. But someone please be so kind as to point out who the sure thing for 2019 is who waits in the wings when he transfers next year. I must have been gone for more than a day and missed some big development at the position.

You didn’t miss anything. Naive posters always think the solution to our woes is holding a clipboard during games

JG won’t be the QB next year. With a new OC, it’s time to start looking to the future and work with a player with a much higher ceiling than him. My guess is he transfers.

I think you are wrong. If Pruitt was up for changing QB.s, he would have done so vs. USC, while JG was recovering from Bama injury. Keller would have played and we likely would have won that game, thus have a 6th win and be bowling now.
I think Pruitt has a love affair with JG....

Going to be a lot of disappointed people who don't know anything about football when JG is the unquestioned starter in the spring and fall.

Too many ignorant statements to address individually.

Shrout 51% 26 ints and far behind JG this year isn't catching and passing him up. You are smoking meth if you think that.

JG is a good SEC qb and probably All SEC next year. The one saying he isn't an SEC qb said the same things about Dobbs but thought Dormady was a NFL prospect.

Y'all are clueless.

I never had doudt's about Dobbs & never trashed him BUT I thought Dormady would have an arm like Bray. So, I was excited about Dormady. However; during the Georgia Tech game when he played horribly but Calloway kept bailing him out. It was obvious that he wasn't that good.

He appears unable to read the defense.

It all starts in highschool. If a high school coach teaches a QB to look for his first option and if the first option is not open, then have the Q.B. tuck and run, then the QB will not learn or grow.
VInce Young did just that in college. So, when he made it to the NFL and his primary receiver was not open, he would tuck and run the ball; meanwhile, the secondary receiver was in the end zone, wide open, because the db fell down. Vince missed him because his natural instinct was to run. Titans missed TD after TD. That is probably why he and Fisher didn't get along very well at times.
I think JG is capable but he has no O.L. and not coach to teach him the seemingly smaller things of being a QB. Thus no growth. The first thing that Cutcliffe taught his QB's was how to read defenses.

Does the team have QB's with legs that actually function? Thats your answer.

Anytime there is a thread about the QB position, the same JG bashers show up w the same tired observations.. I would be willing to bet JG is back and definitely the starter.. He is a good QB and gives us the best chance to win..

Really? Win what...5..maybe 6 games max? His 1 TD per game average isn't really setting the world on fire.. He is a QB placeholder until Pruitt finds a good one, that is all.

For the life of me, I just can not understand some of the opinions of some of our fan base in regards to JG and his QB play. Our OL play was so porous it was painful to watch, let alone stand behind it and attempt to dissect a defense. From the first play of the season, on a one step drop, JG gets whacked, and the hits just kept coming. How is he supposed to excel against that? Our play calling this year, which was also handicapped by our OL play, didn't do JG any favors either. Our inability to run the ball on 1st and 2nd downs would leave JG with 3rd and long, and for 3/4 of the seasons, he was close to 70% passing on those downs. Where were the screen passes, draws to maybe slow down the rush? Why are we still running read option plays when the QB has only twice kept the ball? What is the point?

Our WRs do not have the speed to stretch the defense, and if they did, we do not have the ability to keep the QB standing on his feet long enough to make the pass to them.

Our starting center played one game and was out for the remainder of the season. Because of his illness, our LT was a shadow of his freshman self and missed the last 1/3 of the season. Our RT was...well, he was out there, I think. Our LG was too light in the britches and too many times did I see him completely avoid blocking the man aligned across from him and allow a free pass to the QB. Our center is too tall, plays too tall, and easily allows shorter DL players to get in under his pads and drive him into the backfield. The entire OL this year was short on mass, muscle and mean disposition and talent and that is the main reason of our offensive woes this year. We could not block 4 with 5, and if the opposition brought pressure, well we saw the results.

Don't get me wrong, I do not have blind faith in the QB as he does some things that absolutely drives me crazy. His inability to throw the deep pass and lead the receiver. I'm about as tired of hearing 50/50 balls as I am with the term arm talent. How may times a game this year did our receivers have slowdown, backpedal, stop, come back for a pass, all the while the defense is allowed to converge on the receiver resulting in a 50/50 ball? Throw the ball sooner, lead the receiver, and throw touchdowns rather than jump balls.

Until the OL is fixed with some new blood, S&C, and a nasty disposition, the results are going to be the same no matter who is behind the line of scrimmage.

Just my 2 cents.

JG will have plenty of competition in the spring if he stays into the spring. It is certainly time JG evaluate what is best for him. Many times when a freshman gets on campus or in spring practice or even the first game they play in they can tell if they have the " it " factor.

JG situation may be like coach Helton. That being this transfer may be the best thing for him and for UT. There is a couple QB's probably going to really pressure him.
The fan base has certainly soured on JG. I went into work yesterday and a guy that doesn't even have internet to see what is said about JG said " Tennessee will never win as long as that kid is QB" . There is a larger part of fans who feel that way than those who do think he could be successful.

Saban made a decision last year. Kirby made his decision. They were hard decisions to make but they made what they thought was best for the team.
Pruitt better not be hard headed. He better do what is best for the team. His longevity will depend on it. JG is a good kid and I hope he is successful. I just don't see it happening here.

It is hard to read a defense when he is on his back. Tennessee has offensive line issues and until those get fixed it does not matter who the QB is.

This is ABSOLUTELY wrong.
We had Josh Dobbs for 4 years and you say it doesn't matter??? As soon as he left you saw how bad the line really was.

Or, if you had a QB that could feel the pressure and slide inside the pocket AND release it within the short time window.

JG is the biggest reason Tennessee is not in a bowl game.

So many people on here have been watching football for years! Yet theg can't recognize when a dude is no good at his position....

I fully expect Mauer to beat him out

I don’t think there would be a fight. He just isn’t an SEC QB. They bring in a new OC, and start a new QB, and then they can rightfully say they are preparing for the next few seasons.

That's the way I look at it as well...Let a freshman start and let him grow into the job...It honestly couldn't be any worse than what we got back there now.

The idea of JG is intriguing. I have noticed through my years that development and competency in at a task can't be fully realized until there is a change of venue. Like taking a new job. If JG dreams of playing in the NFL, transferring might be the best option. But, just as easily, it might not be. So, there's two cents worth.

He could be the next quarterback for the Bills
