Recruiting Forum Football Talk II

[Devo182]

The worse part is we're playing the best defense in the SEC so you'll come back with a smug "I told you so" attitude, because the truth is none of our QBs are likely to have a good game tomorrow night.

JG had a respectable showing vs them last year. So, that is not "truth". Only estimation.

 

[Darth_Shiveman]

The two primary reasons that 2017 went so wrong:
1. Shoop and CBJ hated each other after working together in 2016.
2. Scott as OC was doomed because of lack of experience and not having a QB. A good QB could have covered his inexperience, but he was doomed with JG and QD.
We have missed on QB recruiting for several years now. Maurer or Bailey better be a home run.

After how bad our QB play has been the last few years, I’d settle for a double out of either of those guys.

hell, infield single

We will beat State.

If we can get average QB play, we'll have a decent enough shot IMO. Kind of goes back to the old "If my aunt had a tallywacker she'd be my uncle" saying. We'll see.

Another Memphis kid to keep an eye on. Danny Stiff and coach Johnson have been in his ear a lot recently.

Will likely depend on which defense gets more takeaways.

Any game we win we’re going to have to win ugly.

If I'm being totally honest I'm not that confident in Maurer either. Pretty fortunate that he didn't have at least two picks on that first drive against UF.

HES A FRESHMAN THAT HAS HAD ONLY 13 PASS ATTEMPTS.

hell, infield single

Just dont strike out looking

 

[UTSuave’]

Considering you already have Dip S**t,please have several seats.

 

[Devo182]

meh. ...a lot of coaches would go with the experienced QB....considering your options behind him....

this conversation about the QB is almost a non starter for me cause i just don't think there are any real good options. wanna go with experience, fine, make sense. wanna go with the young guy and see what energy he brings, if he can make plays or affect people around him, fine, makes sense.

i don't think it matters one way or the other in this game. i think we'll see at least 2 qb's play no matter who trots out there to take the first snap.

Exactly. One has played better than others, but it's not nearly good enough and every fan is curious what the backup is like. But coaches can't think like fans. They've seen tons and tons of snaps. If they're rolling out one of the other guys, I imagine there's been some progress from that guy and a good reason for it. Hopefully not blind hope or listening to the fans.

TIFWIW- SIAP

Swain said he is hearing Mauer gets the nod Saturday and plays majority of the game.

LETS RIDE!!!

Please tell me we are taking another QB in this class. I prefer a true dual threat. Get word to Chaney about this since Pruitt is clueless on QBs.

 

[millst987]

A second QB is a must!

 

[nicksjuzunk]

Hot take...
James Franklin and Butch Jones are mirror image coaches with a few lucky/unlucky decisions between them to separate one from the other

A successful professional told me one time..no one ever asked me where i went to school, only thing they ever asked was 'how many cases have you won?' (an attorney).

All that matters.

maybe you should tell your boy Basilio to talk about it on air. You know the people inside the program listen to him and do what he says and all.

I think Kasim is their plan to fit this need. Doesn't seem like we're on a 2nd qb after we lost the other contender to A&M.

 

[drvenner]

If you're talking about how the players have performed then they can't predict the future and are only giving their opinion.

My point was that these "20 sources" that KV quoted know no more than anyone else.

 

[Cosmo Kramer]

Hill was the second QB. Hopefully Jake Bentley grad transfers and TN goes after him

 

[drvenner]

I maybe haven’t paid as much attention as I should’ve - what have they missed on that’s been so egregious?

I’m not defending them - just saying I know for a fact they have multiple eyes on the ground for every major thing that happens over there.

I am sure they have some sources. I am equally sure that the staff tries to stay as secretive as they can about personnel decisions. My point is that it is a guess, possibly more educated than most people here, but it is still a guess and that them commenting that something changed on Wednesday does not carry much credence with me.

 

[bignewt]

Wasn't Maurer and Elite 11 qb last year? An Elite 11 qb should be able to jump in as a freshman and do some things. Let's see Chaney earn a food check.

 

[Bearwallow Bandit]

I've been pleasantly surprised at least with the amount of turnover's this defense has forced over the last two games. If we don't get more pressure from the front four I'm not sure we'll see that trend continue.

 

[JohnnyD1024]

And you know this how?

 

[drvenner]

which one? There’s like 10 i feel like

The one on Western. I eat there somewhat regularly. It's very good. I doubt they have any in New York, however.
