Interesting Interview by a QB coach on Guarantano

[Cartervol]

Needs to get in the film room and live there all offseason.

 

[HuntlandVolinColo]

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.

Really hard to say what JGs ceiling is with that abysmal OL. Also last game was his worst of the season and I suspect he wasn't fully over that concussion from the week before.

1.4 seconds isn't a lot of time to get the ball out effectively...even for Peyton.

 

[cbatey1]

JG may not be the greatest, but even if you don't think he's the guy, wanting him to transfer is dumb as hell.

I agree with this. While I am critical of his play, I in no way dislike the guy or wish he would fall off the face of earth. I want him to excel in the future no matter if that's here or not. I truly wish him the best. If he comes back next year and has sincerely won the starting job then I hope he makes me eat crow. The kid has a ton of heart

sheez.

 

[VOLINVONORE]

I’m not familiar with this QB coach, but I think he does a good job of summing up his limited observations of JG.
- He saw JG play at a camp between his junior and senior year and felt he was very talented for a hs QB entering his senior year
- He paused, then in a “politically correct” fashion, added that he thought JG hasn’t developed like he thought he would while at Tennessee...
- There’s been an onslaught of commentary from all of us on JG, so I’m not going to regurgitate those comments again.

I think we should hire an Offensive Coordinator who excels in QB coaching. I do know that Helton wasn’t good at it. I’ve been shocked at his inability to teach and instill basic QB fundamentals.

The OC does not have to be a person who excels in coaching QBs. All he needs to do is hire an excellent QB coach.

I like what you say, but do we have a better "right now" player? Also, if he transfers, where would he go? A smaller school? With just one year I think he toughs it out.

 

[RollerVol]

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.

how about a new OL first, then if he still can't perform...we can talk...

GO VOLS...RECRUIT LIKE HECK!

 

[livefaith]

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.

That I can live with. Until "he finds a good one" is a far cry from the "he sucks, he'll get benched, but everyone backing him promises nothing" mentality around here. One guy has played and has shown why he can't get on the field. The other guy is a FR not very highly sought after, who was hand picked by the OC who just left. Then there's a verbal commitment who could have some promise one day.

Believe me, if any (or all) shows up in Spring like the next Johnny Football, I'll be pumped. But, more than a few around here are living in a land of rainbows & unicorns concerning our QB options.

Guarantano reminds me of Peyton. Well, at least the Peyton who was running for his life in that Super Bowl vs Seattle. Who knows what JG can do until we can put an OL, TEs, and RBs on the field that can actually block someone.

He get's more than 1.4 seconds, the oline isn't good, but they don't collapse on every play.

Here's every pass from the WVU game, count the time after the snap.



Every pass VS ETSU

 

[k-town_king]

The read and calling protection is pre snap, going through the progression of receivers is after the snap. JG is not not good at either. He holds the ball way too long.

He does it well.
The other players miss the blocks.
That has noting to do with reading the defense.
Its heart and execution by the line and backs.

 

[82_VOL_83]

Enos will be next OC and bring Hurts. This is a 50/50 ball. If it’s right, I get credit for an amazing back shoulder guess. If I’m wrong, well that’s why it’s called 50/50.

 

[YankeeVol]

Dude, our whole team didn't develope like it should have

Exactly

 

[YankeeVol]

My thought is this: We will have bash whoever the QB is threads as long as he is here.

Fyp

 

[Glocker_Alum_2005]

JG is Cromp-daddy and Cut is not riding in on his white horse to save the day. Move on to Shrout or another GT next year. Simple as that.

 

[Vols All Day]

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.

Thank you k-town for stating this. It is amazing how they think a guy who threw 26 ints in high school is going to supplant the guy who just 3 this year in the SEC. I would hate see what would happen to Shrout behind the line we have this year or next year.

Nah, he'll come in 2d after SHROUT!

[DiderotsGhost]

What's going to be funny is if we get another QB transfer (e.g. Jalen Hurts) and JG beats him out.

The "blame JG for all our problems" crowd has, at various points, championed Will McBride (now 4th string), Keller Chryst (2nd string and clearly struggled more than JG), and JT Shrout. In their eyes, the only thing holding back the team is JG; not the horrid O-line; not a defense that gave up 38 points to Vandy and couldn't stop South Carolina on a single drive from late 2nd Quarter onwards. Everything is JG's fault.

And then he just keeps beating out all the competition.

The problem is not JG, people.

He's not perfect. He needs to improve in some areas. But he's the least of our problems.

You make JG the starting QB for Alabama this season and Bama is still 12-0 and rolling into the SEC Championship Game. The other 21 positions on the field matter, too.

 

[BloomuVol]

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.

He just set two school records in his first full season as a starter and you think he should be contemplating transferring? I'm sorry but are you truly mentally handicapped? There is no other reasonable explanation, unless there is a methane leak at your house, you should get that checked.

I’m gonna giggle my ass off next year at all you guys when JG is the starter again next year. Haha. It’s gonna be glorious.

Just so others can read it again.

I guess by that logic we shouldn't be surprised the JG has the same stats after 3 years in a college program, that he had as a senior in high school.

1 passing TD/game seems to be over-achieving even...

I love how you act like he has never had a multi touchdown game, he has had four, all against sec defenses, this year. But you act like he is the only player that has been inconsistent this year. Your trope is a joke.

These uh... These don't help your case. He got nailed on some of these throws, but stood in there and made the throw as opposed to running away or throwing off his back foot. You show us every PASS, but that doesn't account for sacks. How long did he have before he was sacked? And also, these aren't SEC defensive lines. One is West Virginia (Big 12 defenses suck) and one is ETSU.

I watched both vids all the way through, and I saw a very solid looking quarterback that made some very nice throws, a couple bad throws, but also a quarterback who didn't get to throw the ball much

 

[Volumnus 2011]

His bias makes him look dumb. There are some pretty legit critiques of JG, but some of his are ridiculous.
