I wish somebody could dig up the thread with the bucket of lightbulb kicking discussion - I remember that whole conversation being comedy gold.
I wanna say it was a reaction to Dooley’s win-then-loss to LSU but i could be wrong.
That would put him 4th on our all time single season records for passing yards and TDs. And first in total yards. Which I am probably one of the only people on here who believe that's possible. I'm not expecting it necessarily, but I do think he'll do enough to get into our top ten single seasons in all 3 though. Which would be 2,800 yards passing, 20 passing TDs, 2,887 total yards. Which isn't an unrealistic jump if he's given an SEC average number of attempts this season and he just comes close to maintaining his completion percentage and yards per attempt. And if the line is at least average and we get the upgrade in play calls and system we expect from Cheney, on top of a normal progression of a qb growing into an upper classman, then it's almost a conservative prediction. I don't think it should surprise anyone if he hits the 3,000 yard mark or 25 tds. Which would probably get him drafted. But I know this is futile because most have made up their minds on him one way or the other based on near d4h level eye tests.I think JG has a killer season like Mitch Trubisky did in his last year at UNC (3500+ passing yards, 30 TDs, 300 rushing yards) there is little doubt in my mind he doesn't enter the NFL draft.
Hill now being here as a transfer strengthens this belief. I think the coaches are preparing for it honestly. He's also technically enter year 4 having redshirted one already, so it's not like he's really leaving school early.
Honestly don't do the predictions on numbers but everything else is so true. He's got some issues and some of his numbers were padded by our bigger receivers winning out. But he's also not been horrible. Doesn't seem to have that sense for pressure but slower receivers and no blocking is a tuuurible combination.That would put him 4th on our all time single season records for passing yards and TDs.

Hill has to sit out this year and will be a redshirt junior next year but I don't disagree with what yer saying.I mean, JT, Hill, Brian all here -this- year. If JG stays healthy then Brian gets his RS and next season you'll have (hopefully) 4 QBs all returning and wanting to earn snaps AND a highly rated incoming.
Let's be honest....anyone thinking we start Fall camp -next- year with 5 QBs on scholarship is the real pipe smokers. To me the ideal situation is JG balls out, tossed about 3k and 25 TDs and gets drafted, which make no mistake he will get drafted if he pulls those numbers in the SEC and wins 7+ games.
Then you'll have an open competition going into Spring with 4 scholarship QBs, 2 of which will be "upper" classman in JT & Hill (both as RS So).
