Pruitt not benching JG. Says he’s the best QB on the roster

[Orange_Vol1321]

Then I have to assume he's the best (at this point).

Yep. It is what it is. With that said they need to work on his timing and vision.

A stitch in time saves nine.......

 

[Doberman]

You’d hope that had been covered in one of his previous years on campus.

 

[DaddyChad]

Meh, are we going to win enough to go to a bowl with either of the other two? Honestly I think we play Maurer after Bama. They don’t want to wreck JG’s confidence (lol) and put another kid out there before then. I think JG takes the beating for the majority of the season then we kick the tires on Maurer

 

[Volbrando]

I say start JG... lets not create a major QB war and risk him crying and transferring just yet in case the others really do suck... BUT we are playing UTC (I know... which we could get beat by)...but this is a good op to AT LEAST play your other qb's to see what they are like in game mode. think it will happen?

 

[Orange_Vol1321]

Well in his defense he's on his 4th OC in 4 years which would make it tough but that shouldn't have anything to do with the timing of a deep post.

 

[Volsfaninva917]

If Pruitt pulls Guarantano now, he will be down to 2 qbs for the rest of he season. Guarantano would immediately transfer so he could save a year of eligibility. I don’t think he will ever be a good qb but he is tough as hell and Tennessee will need that toughness to get through the season with any offense at all.

Does it really matter at this point? Seriously

I see your point...but the OC doesn't make him throw late and into coverage tho

 

[De La Cloobs]

We have established, proven, successful coaches across the board who have chosen JG and have stated he is the best option we have. Yet, all these armchair coaches have decided that our backups are better and know more than the coaching staff.

Just sit down.

We don't have a QB we can hang our hat on. It is what it is. Move on.

 

[sccshortstop]

Its almost like Pruitt is begging to be fired.

Hell he might as well because we will pay him like all the others until the cows come home!

 

[EODVOL]

The only thing that can save UT now is a Drew Bledsoe Tom Brady situation.

 

[OrangeTsar]

LOL. Guarantano already has a degree in psychology.

And any professional knows that you don't diagnose and treat yourself.

 

[Woke]

It’s decisions like these that have sunk our program to new lows. SMH.

Maurer made the Elite 11 QB Camp and finished #5 behind Bo Nix #1 who’s starting for Auburn as a true Frosh.

At least Malzahan was smart enough to recognize he was coaching for his job.

 

[sccshortstop]

Does it really matter at this point? Seriously

Someone tell me who would want JG ?

 

[Orange_Vol1321]

Nope. He doesn't understand how to throw the reciever open. He's got a rocket of an arm and can do it.

They need to run a CB with the recievers in practice instead of air and see if that helps him.

 

[JMSqb11]

Yes.. He did. Now is not the time to cling to semantics.

Only people assuming things or clinging to semantics are you clowns making up quotes.

 

[awaitingawin]

McElroy said this morning that Maurer isn’t ready. He said BM can’t identify the Mike LB on D. He said Shrout isn’t ready either and mentioned Shrout not being able to move around well enough. He claims JG is for sure the best option we have. He then went on to say that he thinks we will upset a team or two this year. What he didn’t say is if he was talking about Chattanooga and UAB!

Now that is funny. Shrout not being able to move around well enough.....like JG has...lol
Is Shrout injured...if JG moves around so well why not let him keep the ball on about 5 of those hand offs each game.....................I don't see JG escaping the rush

 

[Sarms58]

Sounds like coach speak...given the multiple, glaring issues JG has had, I'll be surprised if we don't see another QB in the second quarter this week...

I love JG's toughness but this is his fourth year on the hill and those passes into triple coverage, late throws to open receivers, over throws to open receivers and lack of effectiveness as a runner are just not deficiencies he can be coached up on...JMO

 

[Woke]

Nope. He doesn't understand how to throw the reciever open. He's got a rocket of an arm and can do it.

There’s no helping JG atp. He is who he is. Playing him is Einstein’s definition of insanity. At least I’ve got my answer on Pruitt now.

 

[14VolFan88]

I know the other two aren't better now. The hope is that they get better in the future and playing time now will help that.





BTW Randy Sanders has done a great job at ETSU.

It sounds like there's nobody on the roster better so they need to concentrate on helping him alot more in practice.

 

[Volsfaninva917]

Someone tell me who would want JG ?

I'm sure Rutgers would love him and they can have him

 

[CountVolcula]

Pruitt is mailing in the season in hopes he gets fired. I think the rumors he doesn't like it here may be true

 

[DaddyChad]

Do you though? Pruitt knows this team isn’t going to a bowl game.

 

[vegasvolfan]

Yikes.

He isn't even going to try and give another QB some snaps this week?

Exactly. Pruitt needs to see some live reps. Maybe it will light a fire under JG’s butt.
