Good Lord you can’t be serious. JG is a long long way from the Elite 11 his HS recruit rank isn’t up for dispute or debate.
JG is a RS JUNIOR and a PROVEN LOSER at QB at TN. That’s not opinion, that’s not speculation, that’s documented fact. HE CAN’T SEE DOWNFIELD OR PROCESS FAST ENOUGH.
That’s not going to change despite all the 1st Team practice reps, all the meaningless game stats, all the misplaced apologia, all the hope in the world.
Maurer was #5 at Elite 11 behind some pretty good QBs incl the Auburn starter. He’s a true Frosh so that’s all we have to judge him by. That’s enough to warrant giving him a chance to prove himself on the field. We won’t know who he is for sure until he tees it up in real live game conditions.
Any argument that it’s smart to start a known loser over an unknown with promise is just asinine IMO.
