I can give you tons of examples of how it can be worse. Let me start with Peterman at Tennessee and you can go from there. JG isn't very good, but at least he protects the football and delivers accurate throws when he has time. We can do better, but we can do A LOT worse.

And i can give you 1000 examples of young qbs who have come in and flourished but yeah lets just go with the qb you yourself says isn't very good.

You realize the guy we missed out on that is going to tOSU jumped straight from D-2?

He did indeed because Gundy is not afraid to make a decision and stand by his decision. Some folks are just plain ole ignorant with their thinking.

Would guess the OC and style of play will play a big role as well.

And, JG and his parents read every negative thing said about him. I know some of you guys don’t think he’s very good but understand what you might be doing when you’re going at him. Shrout and Maurer aren’t ready - especially behind that offensive line.

You are the qb at an sec school...you better have thick skin especially when your team wins 5 games. Saying we should watch what we say is ludicrous.

How come we can all agree that a good OC without good players to work with isnt going to be successful, but we cant apply that same logic to our QB?

JG can’t play. He’s a sunk cost. Keeping him for even one more second because of the time you’ve invested in him is the wrong move.

The sooner his presence is alleviated the sooner our team can grow.

Have you seen our backups play? Not sure if their ready and you haven’t unless you’ve been to practice or a high school game in Florida.

I dont agree with that. The better the OC the more he can do with less. JG has obvious faults that have not improved.

I really hope Shrout puts it all together this year. Could be interesting if he does.

Yep, he's got a good arm. Shrout was Helton's personal pick, so it'll be interesting. While Pruitt made a few positive comments, he didn't take advantage of the new RS rule to let Shrout get his feet wet. So no one really knows how he's developed, how much competition there will be and what the new OC will want. Wouldn't be surprising to see a QB transfer, though.

I mean we didn’t really play well enough offensively for him to use the Redshirt rule but I get what you are saying. I agree completely.

Could someone update me on where all this JG is leaving/transferring discussion is coming from? Is there a fact in reality - other than opinions on his abilities - that is causing this uproar? And, yes I have looked back several pages, both late last night and this morning.

Well, I think it’s pretty ridiculous the standard the guy is held to - a standard no one else on the team is held to. I guess it’s because he was such a highly ranked prospect.

It’s my opinion that most of his problems are directly related to 3 years of inconsistent coaching and the lack of talent around him. I’ve seen him be a top level QB when given time to set and throw.

The way he gets bashed around here is ridiculous and I can promise you we will be much worse off if he transfers.
