Take a couple, print them out and hang them on your bathroom mirror for motivation for all I care. You continue to imply that The University of Tennessee football program will be a wreck if somehow Maurer is not the starting QB and that Pruitt has mishandled him so badly that Tn can expect 6-6 seasons from here on out. There have been hundreds of BMs come and go through Tn and the program has survived. The problem with you is that you compare Maurer to guys like Dobbs when you should be comparing him to guys like McBride.

because if you’d payed attention JP was planning on playing JG in every game Maurer started. It couldn’t be due to performance given he only had the ball 8.5 min and threw for 100 and ran for 20. He was quietly having a really good game.

No, he was quietly getting us beat. He got pulled when we were getting beat by 2 scores, same as when JG got pulled vs Indiana. JG capitalized and led us to victory when given the chance to come off the bench, Maurer led us to a FG and threw into coverage as well as off his back foot across his body and across the middle into coverage when given his chance. I'm wondering, do you and he not go over that when you are training him?

Never said at any point that the PROGRAM wouldn’t survive. That’s Absurd. But knowing how choices today can negatively effect the future is pointless for you to argue.

If the light comes on for him but at this point I have no faith. He has shown flashes of being a very good QB but then he makes the freshman like mistakes he made last night.

He's a Vol, he's sacrificed a bunch of sweat equity for fans like you and me, he's a fighter, he's tough, stays out of trouble and represents the program well. He's a big reason we won 8 games this year and he played a big part in 2 of our losses. Coach Pruitt hasn't given up on him yet and neither will I. There have been exactly 3 Vol QBs in my lifetime that I could never understand how they ever got to be the starting QB at UT. Worley, Crompton and McBride are 3 guys that got to play and I could never understand why, gym coach Jones goddaughter's boyfriend Quinten D would be a close 4th.

We were getting beat by 2 scores because the defense couldn’t stop the option and a blocked punt! Nice try but he had nothing to do with getting them to 13. JG however had everything to do with Indiana’s points at the time he was benched. Maybe you forgot or need to rewatch the game but that 3 points he got vs UK was a drive that was inside the 20 before Smith got a personal foul and all BM did was damn near get the 1st anyway. He was FAR from quietly getting us beat.

There’s a reason CCW said earlier in the season you don’t mess with a kids throwing motion. If he’s able to get enough on the ball with accuracy you leave it alone because it’ll help you more than hurt you under pressure. Also when talking mechanics every qb is unique. No 2 do it the exact same so who’s right? Brees? Peyton? Brady? There’s no answer. So why would someone try and take the same complaints you have of Maurer away from Aaron Rodgers? Or Pat Mahommes? No pass that he threw last night and very few throughout the season were inaccurate. They hit right where he intended them to arrive.

You are correct and I 100% agree with this post. But it’s funny you can give him that kind of credit and not once have you ever said anything remotely close about the kid that bounced off his head that also wears the power T on his helmet.

Have you ever seen him play? Just curious as to what skill sets you feel that he lacks. Please share with us in detail, why have a 4 star dual threat transfer starting for us would cause us to be in trouble.

I saw him play exactly one game in his career. He pretty well dismantled a top 10 Texas team by himself. Maryland blew them out. I’m thinking that was a career day but it stuck in my brain.

No narrative. You just can't compare stats on 75 attempts verses over 250 attempts. What you can say is that as a true freshman, not great stats, not horrible stats. As a RSJ, not good stats. But, you can't compare one against the other until the numbers are closer together. I would yield if BM was up over 150 attempts and showing more of a trend.

Also left out is that JG got inflated stats against very poor competition. Maurer started against the toughest teams.

If I were Maurer, I'd take advantage of the offseason S&C here to try and add weight and hopefully durability. Battle it out with JG. Try to prove to the staff he's the better choice.

I like Shrout, but he's probably better off transferring. The staff obviously likes Maurer more based on playing time.

What's not right is that Maurer is not as good as this guy says. BM is still in the throwing off his back leg back over the middle into traffic because a big DL was about to hit him phase, watch his 3rd throw for video evidence.

your acting like JG didnt do this ..he has done this almost all year,,..something is not adding up

His durability hasn’t been an issue though. He took that wicked hit vs UGA and wanted back in. Then Landing on his head and jumping up talking chit to the defense the way he did says his body is plenty durable. It’s just the fact that he sustained a concussion which has nothing to do with S&C.

He's too small at his current size. He needs to bulk up some.

Now I’m not disagreeing with that. He needs another 10-15 LBs but his toughness is in question over a concussion and that’s not fair. That’s all I’m getting at.

I didn't question his toughness. He has heart and grit, but his body isn't where it needs to be. Physical durability does not equate to toughness. With more S&C, his body will be able to back up that toughness.

Nobody thinks JG is invincible...we just don’t fully trust Pruitt to bench JG unless things turn into a complete dumpster fire.

Ah, there you have it, it’s not a matter of winning a competition for the starting job for Maurer. It’s, after seeing this year a qb who is really bad continue to be in games, what can he expect next year from the stubborn Tennessee Head Coach Trainee.

Well after two injuries and missing alot of practice he was not as sharp as the coaches hoped he would. It wasn't only the missed passes but mostly because in the RPO we had several big runs there and he pulled and forced a pass. Coaches then understood he had missed to much time on practice field and mostly live game situations. But as to this topic I believe you can see that Coach wanted him to be the guy all along after Florida game. Unfortunately two neck or head injuries messed up there plans.

JG was playing with a broken hand...........SERIOUSLY. If you can't beat out a bad one handed quarterback......you aren't ready to play.

Do you honestly think CJP is playing favorites ? I am not sure there is a real good qb on the team right now, but if you believe that you're crazy.

There isn't a good QB on the roster right now. The one that is playing is the best one we have in practice and the best one we have in games. It's really not debatable if you know even slightly more than nothing about the game of Football.
