How many times do I have to remind everyone I was using hyperbole??? He wasn't even playing RB his senior season.
You and Bearcat keep bringing that up like I was serious about it. Furthermore, I told everyone before he signed that he was overrated.
Which should have let people know that I was NOT serious about M Gray being a good player....

I am very serious about Brian Maurer- the freshman who threw 2 picks during the spring game- being the starter come fall.

You should write a users manual.

I think Maurer has a ton of potential. Those thinking Bailey is just going to come in and pass him are selling Brian short. But, without knowing where the o line is, I can't see how throwing him into the snake pit benefits anyone. If the o line is better, JG will be better, and likely play out the season. He won't be a world beater, but he'll get us to a bowl. If they aren't then Jarrett will likely be out at some point. In that case, his backup is going to get shelled in his effort to replace him, for the same reason. Would you rather Maurer or Shrout take that beating? Either we won't need him or playing him will be counter productive to his development. Let him redshirt, if at all possible.

Yes, I basically agree, but in between those scenario extremes, I hope that both Shrout and Maurer get in at least two of the first three games, not due to problem with JG, and yes I am thankful for the new rule of play up to 4 and still redshirt.

We've only seen Maurer during the OW game which has no indication of how great the player will actually be. I will say, I was/am a believer in Dormady (in the sense of Peterman) but he never lived up to his 10/10 from the OW game. I liked what I saw from Maurer during the spring but a redshirt and 4 games (if he plays in those) will do him well. He's not ready to start in the SEC and he has a great opportunity to learn from JG, Weinke, Chaney, and some veteran WRs that might propel him over Bailey during his arrival.

It’s a flip of coin really.

I liked what I saw from him at the spring game. He’s got a cannon for an arm and once the game slows down and he starts to understand things better he’ll be the next star at Tennessee.

Dare I say this is Chaney’s guy.

Got a little Baker Mayfield in him.

I think they would love to redshirt him but I have heard he is the #2 and may be the most talented of the 3. He may not be listed as the #2 but if JG went down for good, I think Maurer leapfrogs Shrout.

Funny considering an article just went out today about JT.... @DeerPark12 is around the program every single day and stated that Shrout is definitely the #2 and I don’t remember who said it but someone else said they were at one of the practices and all he was hearing was about how good JT was. So.... dunno how people keep getting the Maurer narrative especially after this Spring Game.

One doesn’t get a narrative second hand.

Redshirts.
jg gets hurt towards end of the season with three games left.

Maurer comes in and wins all three games and the bowl game and keeps the starting position going into next year with 4 years left of eligibility.

Not saying it will happen but not shocked if it does.

You want to place a wager on that? Barring injury to both JG and Shrout, I'll bet anything you want to bet that Maurer doesn't start one game.

I don't gamble. So I don't know what I could offer.

What did you have in mind?
