JG played better against BYU. He gave our receivers a chance.

[VolTexas]

JG was not a good QB, but he gave his receivers the opportunity to erase his mistakes.

Usually he does not do that, but throws it out of bounds giving us no chance.

 

[Memphisvol87]

Dude JG played awful please don’t. JJ and the fact he threw that first TD too hard for an INT is the only reason we made it to overtime.

 

[utvolpj]

Yeah he kept it in the field of play. Solid improvements from a senior qb

 

[Booker512]

JG is garbage. I genuinely doubt he would start at 80% of power 5 teams. He sucks. Period. Anyone trying to fluff him up needs some mental health help.

 

[allvol123]

He was awful.

This team essentially dominated but never showed it on the scoreboard due to him.

 

[BOB in GA]

Let’s see...we were up 10 at halftime, 13-3, with momentum and the Big Orange crowd behind us. We hadn’t played really well, but head and shoulders above the prior week. We would get the 2nd half kickoff, and all seemed well on the hill. I actually felt good about the game.

In a matter of minutes, JG threw an absolutely horrible interception directly into to the arms of a BYU player, they subsequently scored a touchdown, and rather than being up 17 points (if we had scored on that possession) we’re in a three point ballgame. BYU suddenly realized they had a chance, and we suddenly realized we could lose. Both of us were correct.

Despite outplaying the Cougars most of the evening, we again found a way to choke when it really mattered, and swallow a bitter defeat. It’s quickly becoming a Tennessee tradition.

 

[Dudleys87]

For a junior he is flat awful and I’ve done all I can to support him along the way. The thought of him coming back is sickening

Yes JG played like a scared little punk, HE ALWAYS DOES,

 

[GoBigOrangeUT]

I think some fans are perfectly content with this. Never mind the fact that he’s in his 4th year with the program and hasn’t improved in a single aspect of the position.

 

[TAF]

Kid just doesn’t have “it”. We keep thinking he has “it”...but, he ain’t got “it”.

Throws late, throws with ZERO finesse, and makes bad decisions too many times.

 

[Nationdom]

JG was awful and Chaney wasnt much better. Obviously you are limited with JG but zero creativity was seen.

You tell the truth, the ball he threw had no chance getting to Wood-Anderson

 

[Volsfaninva917]

What game were you watching?

 

[ibvolman]

JG is late on passes, stares down receivers, gets scared and dumps the ball way too the third choice in the progression. I don't think his play is that much improved. Something isn't clicking for him. Not sure if it is timing, lack of confidence in receivers, or not trusting himself to make quick decisions. Kid has an arm, but he just doesn't use it to half of its potential.

 

[CA_Vol]

JG was not a good QB, but he gave his receivers the opportunity to erase his mistakes.

Usually he does not do that, but throws it out of bounds giving us no chance.

I can’t imagine the mental gymnastics it requires to see the QB situation this way. My gosh.

Or we could've at least gotten 3 out of that drive, been up 16-3, chewed more clock, kept momentum, and forced them to be one dimensional. Ive never been a JG basher... But his play is absolutely killing us and not to mention that deep post route he blew to a wide open josh palmer that wouldve been 6 more. Smh

No. The receivers gave themselves the chance to erase JG's mistakes. Look at the first TD..it was almost a pick and PURE luck it got to JJ..wasnt even close to getting to him. Look at the pick..look at all the throws into triple coverage..Just bad.

 

[Alex10]

JG is garbage. I genuinely doubt he would start at 80% of power 5 teams. He sucks. Period. Anyone trying to fluff him up needs some mental health help.

80 percent? The dude wouldn’t start on 90 percent of fcs squads. Never seen a qb with literally no upside. Guy gives you no chance to win games.

 

[82Grad]

Jeremy Pruitt is at a crossroads after another tough loss

 

[Mick]

JG was awful and Chaney wasnt much better. Obviously you are limited with JG but zero creativity was seen.

JG only knows where two receivers are going to be on the field based on his pre snap reads the 7 yard pass and the checkdown. Defenses know this, they've seen the same as us. At snap follow his eyes and go toward where he's looking and spy the RB's on pass plays.

If JJ had not been playing Vols would not have scored 1st TD JJ took it from defender after ball deflected, receivers made JG look better than he is, Pruitt & CO
will be paid no matter how this S**t Show turns out , I feel bad for handful that players that play
hard and leave it all on field so JG can keep handing teams we play a win sad...….........………………..

 

[germantown902]

Did LSU take the ball out of Joe Burrow’s hands when they were up 1 score. Nope. He was firing it all over the place. JG is a redshirt Junior and we ran the entire 4th quarter just to keep it out of his hands.

Talk about a gut punch. Pretty sure he’s absolutely broken at this point. He’s already graduated. Report an ‘injury’ and let him sit the rest of the year and continue on somewhere else.

Dude, JG needs to sit.

 

[Bigworm87]

There was one play, maybe 3rd down right before the half that Palmer ran an inside post with no over the top safety help. Wide open! literally 4 steps on the guy and would have been a TD. Instead JG throws to the flat and we may have gotten a yard. Settled for a FG. I personally didn't think JG was the answer, but I sure as hell thought he could get most of what we needed done. He really is not very good. I counted at least 3 plays last night that a wr was running wide open and would have been a big gain. He just doesn't see the field. I don't think his time here has given him the most fair shot, though. 4 coordinators? I hate it for the kid, he represents us well, but he isn't going to cut it.

 

[Power T-Rev]

I just dont understand how you watch that game last night and think that JG gave our team a chance to win. It was obvious by Chaneys playcalling that he had no faith in the QB
