Pruitt isn't naming QB

I’m thinking we’ll see a lot of heavy packages with Crouch and Emerson in the backfield and may also see some wildcat with JJ. There’s definitely going to be some read options with Mauer. We’d be smart to pass as little as possible. Shorten the game and avoid the embarrassing blowout

I wouldnt mind a 2 qb system with JT and Maurer. I know that doesnt usually turn out great but we're already in that territory, may as well see which one Chaney can get the most out of this year.

It means JG is likely not the starter. UGA only knows his film over the course of two years of starting.

It works if you commit to running and gunning. Maurer has to be run heavy with QB designed plays and Shrout has to have a running game with backs to open up his passing game.

I’m not opposed to either. I just hope one of them gets the chance to play vs UGA with an even scoreboard

As he should. At this point, I think you give JG the opportunity to start the game. Unless he comes apart at the seams, I think he gets the first half. We'll likely be toast by halftime so I'd give a quarter each to the backups. If JG tanks early, I move up the time table. Right now I'm shooting for the last 5 games of the season. I'm using UGA and Bama as a proving ground. Just get this qb debacle resolved by MSU.

Wrong. Maurer will be most effective in a spread where he is a passer first. Anything outside of that is new territory for him.

I'd gamble with Shrout. It's not that I necessarily think he's the best QB on the roster. They all have their strengths and flaws. But if you look at the overall situation, Shrout makes most sense:

(*) Already took his redshirt season --- no eligibility related downside to playing him,
(*) It's unlikely we'll win --- so we can gamble,
(*) Georgia's run D is excellent --- so Maurer might struggle a lot more against UGA than he would against other opponents,
(*) Shrout has the strongest arm and is the most likely to get the ball to our excellent WRs on some deep routes,
(*) Shrout is most likely to spread the field, force Georgia's D to back off, and open up the run game,

As I've said before, I don't necessarily think Shrout is the most likely to win the QB job next year, but I think this would be a great time to see what he gives us. This is the type of game where if he's going to throw 4 INTs (and accuracy has been his biggest issue in the past), it doesn't really matter that much.

Nope, UGA will never see what’s coming—just let Maurer wing it with his legs and run a pro-style when Shrout is in. How ingenious!!!

You’ve apparently never played ball past youth flag league.

Pruitt knows old dogs can’t learn new tricks, but will throw a QB trifecta at dem flea bags

Chaney running that read option with him really confused a lot of people on BMs skill set. I may not trust the services much and don’t agree with WHERE he was ranked but he was considered a pocket passer for a reason. He’s more effective as a passer.

Ah yes because of his high school tape.....

And you clearly didn't understand what I wrote if they go two QB.

Give it up, dude.

You're like D4H for Maurer. I like Maurer a lot, but the annoying Maurer "homer" act isn't winning anyone over.

Maurer is a dual threat QB. He's struggled throwing the ball since he got to Tennessee and is still adjusting to college ball. Therefore, he's been scrambling more than he should.

No one is "confused" about his skill set. Dobbs had the same issues his Freshman year; the game didn't really slow down for him a bit till Year 2.

I expect things to click for Maurer eventually, but quit pretending like you're the only human being capable of evaluating Maurer's game. If you were that gifted at QB evaluation, you wouldn't be posting on here; you'd be getting paid the big bucks.

Ummmm yes..... because of his HS tape. What else does he have as a freshman when he’s been in a spread for the last 4 years? Wouldn’t matter anyway. He would still be most effective in a spread where there’s less in the box and more dbs in coverage. He’s fast but not shifty. More effective as a passer than a runner. Extremely accurate once he learns to relax. If they get pressure on him he can hurt you with his legs.

Maybe I didn’t understand what you wrote but it sounded like you said Maurer has to be in a run heavy/ qb design system.
