2020 Starting Quarterback

[VolinMichigan]

I don’t know if Guarantano will even be here next year. I still need to see more of Mauer to be convinced he’s capable of limiting mistakes and winning football games. If Bailey can come in and learn the offense and run it competently without making a ton of FR mistakes, I say just roll with him. He’s going to have a veteran O line and veteran RBs to give him protection.

Neither of those links mentioned Butch. Participated in some threads on the subject. Now back to the shocking news story you broke, how much and for how long did Butch fork out money to pump up individual recruit’s rankings? Pure cash transactions so no money trail? Not sure what Worley had to do with it since he was a Dooley recruit and a junior when Butch arrived (and a 3 star). You say it’s “well known” so someone blabbed and no one wrote an article? Maybe waiting for that book to come out where Colton Jumper’s dad financed the whole shenanigans? Makes you appreciate our former coach for basically writing off that huge investment for his goddaughter when she was engaged to Dormady.

I'm telling you to compare those QB stats to JG high school stats. And neither of those articles mentions butch but it describes how easy it is to manipulate the recruiting services. So again, go back and compare stats in high school and you tell me if JG should have been a 4 star recruit and number 1 dual threat QB.

Of much more importance,,,, who will be the predominant QB Saturday? Starting makes no difference, the way things are being handled right now.

Those examples are outliers tho. FUN outliers due to the dog eat dog whilst trying to be first world that is recruiting services. I flame them and the cult status they’ve spawned as much as the next guy. That being said, they’re well backed and the data, stats and evaluation process isn’t subject to the “manipulation” at the grand scale you’ve alleged. Make a benchwarmer a 3 star by falsely leaking a Bama offer is a long way from making a New Jersey kid the top want of numerous programs...and the Vols. Top of the board for Urban Meyer’s Buckeyes before Butch even publicly pursued him heavily. And your rationale for this weird money play being “well known” is that it “was said on here.”? Love this place but a lot of crazy crap gets spewed by those with internet connections...on HERE. Trying to come to grips with why Guarantano was rated so highly boils down to HE WAS OVERRATED! Happens a lot at this level and has for longer than some lifespans go back. Chris Donald, Ron Powlus, Mitch Mustain? Who financed their ratings? Most misses aren’t conspiracies...they’re misses.

JG or Bailey.

Maurer can't complete 50% of his passes or a full game right now. Not unless he balls out the last few games. He won't start.

It will be the steady vet in JG or the new talented prospect in Bailey.

Hill is a non-factor. Shrout is a backup.

He played a national schedule and preformed well versus good teams. He preformed great at the camps versus big time talent. He was also injured in HS.

He earned his ranking. Y'all crack me up with the conspiracy theories. Lmao

JG to Rutgers with Butch. Shrout Transfers to california JC. Maurer will start. Hill will backup. Bailey redshirts unless Hill goes down.

This seems plausable.

Steve Tannehill was the #3 quarterback in the Nation out of high school in the 1992 recruiting class and he was highly overrated at South Carolina.

Hey, since you love to quote Pro Football Focus so much in support of your boy JG how about Tyler Johnston???? I mean stats don't lie, right?


PFF College (@PFF_College) | Twitter

I mean he's ranked ahead of JG this year, so what kind of talent is he?

History tells us it will likely be Jg. As tough as that is to say. Pruitt has this weird fascination with the guy. He could have all of this fan base having bought and lock stock and barrel had we played a more competent quarterback to start the year. What would the vibe be right now if we were 6-3? That’s where we’d be with “decent” QB play. And mauer and shrout are both capable of at least decent play. If either had as much experience as Jg who knows how good they might be.

Too bad his high school didn't preform him into a QB before he went to college.

Ha. Good one

 

[BeecherVol]

Don't think JG is back next season and it wouldn't surprise me if one of Shrout or Maurer leave if its obvious they are going to be the 3.

The only guarantee I see for both staying is if for some reason Bailey is not ready, and they are both in the mix to start.

Urban Meyer offering JG gave him 4 star's and 1 dual threat.

 

[lexkyvol]

What games have you been watching?...... never mind. I forgot you’re a stat hugger like K Town. You really need to start watching the GAMES instead of the box score. His accuracy has been WELL on display.

riiiiiiight.....all 4 ints. and that's giving u the JJ one vs Bama

 

[Louisianavol78]

Who will be Tennessee's starting quarterback in 2020?

I see JG transferring

 

[BP4Prez]

I voted JG. It’s obvious Pruitt prefers him over the two we currently have. And I haven’t seen Bailey, so can’t comment on his ability to start.

 

[white65]

Brian Maurer will be the starting quarterback for the September 5th 2020 opening game against Charlotte. Jarrett Guarantano will graduate transfer to a school close to home in the Northeast following the 2019 season.

Butch and JG reunited at Rutgers Lol

 

[jackieaprilesr]

it'll be between shrout and bailey in the spring. maurer has the foot speed, but his passing is extremely questionable

jg transfers

hill will be 3rd string

disagree. we need a mobile quarterback until we Bailey is ready. Shrout to JC. Maurer vs Bailey.

turns ball over too much and is injury prone.

what u want is a mobile qb

what this offensive system requires is a pocket passer. why you think they're working so hard on the oline

volnation loves Josh Dobbs because he was able to win games with his legs and cover for a bad OLine and inaccuracy issues. one of JG issues is that he is unable to extend plays with his legs. He stays in the pocket too long. until the OLine is ready, a mobile quarterback is necessary.

to answer your question, Pruitt is working on the OLine because Butch left him with scraps and to maximize the running game. a pocket passer without a running game allows defenses to not have to load the box and can play more defenders in space to shut down the passing game. just having a quarterback that can scramble for 3-5 first downs per game would soften the defense and take the pressure off of the OLine.

again, this all falls on the QB. who would you rather have? Dobbs or JG right now? the easy answer is Dobbs; but not because of his ability to throw the ball. Because he can create plays outside the pocket and soften the defense for the running game and deep passes. as JG has shown, a pocket passer is a dead duck with this OLine and will continue to be for the 1-2 years. dont waste Bailey eligibility until the OLine is ready to play a pro style effectively. also, if you look at Chaney's success at Georgia, it was all based on RB depth......Until UT has a decent run game with depth at RB and OLine, the only hope is a QB that can move
