Why do you think Maurer went in against Florida? The stupid move was not to keep him in.

Tbf he had just thrown about 8 straight incompletions and a pick...what do you expect? JG comes out the next drive with a few completions and we get into UF territory, then Chandler fumbles. Ok

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.

Yeah, that’s fair. A lot of people close to the situation don’t know as much as they think. And certainly there are people who lie for fun.

I think JJ starts the game at qb tomorrow night. He may only get 1 or 2 snaps the whole game, but I bet he gets the first snap of the game.

If they were smart they would use him in some packages to throw the defensive off,maybe like a Flea flicker or a pass behind the line of scrimmage and take a shot down field..Chaney literally needs to pull out all the tricks in his bag.

The staff starting Maurer proves to me that JG hasn't learned for his mistakes in the previous games. And the staff is pulling out all the stops to generate some points on offense.

I just find it wild they can't constrain the offense for JG like Helton did. Run-heavy, rely on outside PA passes to our big receivers. Instead we're going rpo & probably short slants and other quick throws, when our best receivers are strong, deep ball receivers?

Not using our strengths if we do so, imo. Gross misuse of MC and JJ.

you are one of the last JG supporters Erik, good for you!

Stating facts and you avoid. Game set match. Not about supporting one over others, just evidence.

I'll support whoever walks out there. At this point you'd have to be a vfl to go take hits. Respect.

Gets it ^^^^^

Which he did all the previous season as well when people here and in the media were talking him up as a coming star QB in the SEC. No, he had a couple successful games of throwing jump balls in enough numbers that the receivers made him look better than he is. This season the plan was to improve him into a real QB, which he apparently is able to do OK in practice and stinks at in games.

Simply put, the problem is his brain. It was a known problem with Botch and would have been known with Pruitt as DC at Bama plus reviewing his film here. This QB chapter needed to end a long time ago. That a top 20 type QB did not get signed for two seasons is an indictment on the coaching staff. A possible Bailey signing addresses it - two years late. If you accept a HC position, you better have a strong QB ready to go with you or one on the existing roster waiting on you. Pruitt didn't.

Let's see if Maurer can provide some spark and upside to the position to provide reasonable competition for the spot next season.

Easier said than done when you get the job in early December and the ESD is two weeks later. These days all the good QB’s are committed a year or so in advance. For 2020 only 2 of the top 30 QB prospects aren’t committed at this time. Whem pruitt took over the only guys left were ones like Shrout and then they got a grad transfer in Chryst.

They got Bailey to commit last November, more than a year before he can actually sign with them. It’s one of the reasons why it would be foolish to fire Pruitt now. Unless you got a universally respected QB guru to replace him, Bailey will jump ship and it will be two more years before you can get a program changing QB in here.

I just want the team to play hard and not get embarrassed. Is that too much to want for this team? Been embarrassed at every game except Chattanooga so far. Effort was there for 2 and a half games, right?

Right. Would just like to see the way we played uga last year for 3 quarters. We were playing tough, just didn't have the horses. Same thing this year. If we can give em fits for a few quarters, good.
