No. And that's a pretty stupid thing to accuse me of. All I've ever wanted was for UT to have quality QB play. From the time he became a starter until a few weeks ago... JG had not given the Vols that. I personally gave up on him.... and unlike a lot of folks here have admitted I was wrong about his possibility of recovering.Did any of them lose their grandmother Thursday on Thanksgiving? Probably not.
But I’m sure you were downright giddy with that 0-7 start JG had so you can post your five paragraphs saying how much he sucks.
Doubt it. Pruitt is anything but satisfied, happy, or complacent. Did you hear the post Mizzou interview?Considering the circumstances, the fact that UT beat a team they hadn’t in 3 years, and sent the seniors off with an 18 point win, I think Pruitt will be happy with how JG played.
No. They weren't a major factor. The rain wasn't heavy and doesn't explain how badly off JG was for most of the game. But I expected you to try to make that excuse.... while you don't factor any of the reasons Maurer might not have been "consistent".
because maurer played like crap in great conditions. no rain, nothing!
Both of Vandy's QB's were more on target than JG. That's a sad commentary.
did vandy's qbs win the game?
Yes. When he plays well... I'll praise him for playing well. When he plays poorly... I'll criticize him for playing poorly. But that's not really the point. He earned my lack of faith with about two years worth of tentative, ineffective play. He played well for a couple of games... but I've only said that that is "good" if he keeps doing it... CONSISTENTLY. The Vandy game was not a good step in that direction.
but when maurer plays poorly, u make excuses! got it
The point is that you hate Maurer for some reason (possibly not football related per se) and criticize him without qualification for being "inconsistent". Then.... when JG isn't consistent... you make excuses you'd never accept if made for BM.
there mere fact we've come to this part where u felt u need to use the word "if" means you know ur full of crap, but u decided to type this circle arse ish anyways. unbelievable
Well you mean except that I've never "hated" JG? I've been critical of his poor play. I praised him for sticking with it and performing better than he ever has for 2 or 3 games... but the old JG was on display vs the worst team on UT's schedule outside of UTC. He was awful. Why don't YOU apply one standard to all of the QB's and just acknowledge that he stank it up?
bwahahahahaaaaa! okay......name a qb in the entire storm area that threw the ball well. use other games in the area.
Don't know. Maurer played well earlier in the season but he was very tentative vs UK. Could have been the injury. Could have been the coaches emphasizing ball security. Could have been UK's pass D. Could be him worrying about getting injured again. But he didn't play well and was replaced. JG played very poorly vs Vandy and was not replaced probably because UT had some success in the run game and JG has more experience in the O.
could've been his 47% completion on display. ya think?
False but that obviously won't keep you from making unfair criticisms of a TRUE FRESHMAN. You'll just keep "hating" the kid... except in your case I suspect there really is an element of genuine hatred.
well hope and hope.....but for three years and counting......guess you'll be sitting mad watching #2 take snaps in Neyland.No thanks to JG’s play. Competent qb play yesterday and we win by 35 points. JG was as bad vs Vandy and he was good vs Missouri. I pray that someone beats him out in 2020, we can’t have up and down erratic QB and reach our goals next year.
Bailey is not coming here to redshirt, he's physically ready to play now and will be here in Jan. He'll be in the picture.I'm not sure he'll start the whole year. But he'll start at some point. Pruitt seems to have a lot of trust in JG and he obviously isn't afraid to rotate QBs. One of the other guys may make a jump next year and beat him out. But they were on a short leash this year, and I doubt next will be any different. He'll probably want to red shirt Bailey. So it'll probably be QB by committee with a preference for JG again next year.
You can’t seem to get past quite a few things that put you in the same category as K-town and Pulaski. I never once said it isn’t Pruitts call on who he wants to use at qb. What I did say is Chaney was hired to make those calls on HIS OWN SIDE OF THE BALL because he is PROVEN. But trusting Pruitts (defensive coordinator) evaluation of a QB over Chaney (proven qb coach and OC) is not something I’m prepared to put much trust in.who hates him? ah, you dont nwat the truth about ur guy. hell, you and 1vol8 wont even accept it from THE HEAD COACH HIMSELF! hard head makes a soft arse!
I don't see QB play being a team weakness next year. There will be some sloppy play at times because of our inexperience at WR, similar to what GA is going through now, but QB play will not be a weakness. All JG, Pruitt and the TEAM have left to prove is that they can win the big game. They'll all get at least 4 chances at it next year vs Ga, Fl, Bama and Oklahoma. I think we'll do better than expected in those 4 games with JG at the helm.We’ll all be sitting mad when he costs us a couple of games next year with his inconsistent play
yet we still won by 18. like wtf is ur point
I hope your right, maybe he can put it all together for a full season next year.I don't see QB play being a team weakness next year.

You need help.
Once again, you may need help. Nearly every player to a man said the fire was lit when Pruitt had his team meeting following the FL loss. Why are you trolling so hard on this, it's getting old I think.I feel confident jg will be the starter next year and he will have more games like vandy than he will good games. Fair qb competition has not been done this year or last yr.jg was the hc choice regardless of how well others did. Up till ga game the only qb who took snaps with the ones in practice was jg. Others were not even considered till we were 1 and 4 and maurer comes in against ga and lights it up. He got injured then made some mistakes but his play in ga. Ignited something in the team that turned the whole team around. Jg is out for himself. Did u see any celebration from jg when gray made the 2 long runs for td? I didnt, but he sure celebrates if he completes a pass for a td.
Right now today I don’t see that. I’ll trust the coaches who get paid millions to evaluate the situation over my opinion and any other opinion on this board. Plus, the evidence over this whole season is that JG is the best we have. When he’s bad he’s horrible though. I don’t think anyone would disagree with that.
That’s what I have yet to see anyone give credit. Had BM played as bad as these 3 are trying so desperately to convince people he did JG wouldn’t have felt pushed to get better. The team would have played even less inspired and Pruitt would’ve just said “I told you so” much sooner than he did and went back to JG by the Alabama game. Instead he outplayed Pruitts evaluation of him and had as much to do with the teams turn around as any other player or unit did. Even while sitting on the bench the fire he lit is still burning.I feel confident jg will be the starter next year and he will have more games like vandy than he will good games.

My point is that he played poorly. But that's not the reason I responded to you. Your attack on Maurer, a true freshman, for being "inconsistent" while idolizing JG and denying any criticism of his past or present weaknesses... is the reason I responded to you. Predictably while you "hate" Maurer for being "inconsistent"... you excuse the 4th year Junior for being... inconsistent and actually pretty terrible vs Vandy.yet we still won by 18. like wtf is ur point
My "guys" are the UT Vols. Maurer and the rest including JG. I've criticized Maurer, a freshman, because in his last outing he was tentative. His confidence was a strength before. But he is a freshman... not a 4th year player.who hates him? ah, you dont nwat the truth about ur guy.
Where did Pruitt say any of the things you keep saying about Maurer?hell, you and 1vol8 wont even accept it from THE HEAD COACH HIMSELF! hard head makes a soft arse!
