Maurer’s Instagram Post

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.
Hey now, dont leave out Peterman😁😂

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.
I think it may have been the case at the beginning of the season. If nothing else, JG and BM looked to be fairly even early on in terms of mistakes. In that situation, conventional wisdom says you go with youth because you're going to have more time to develop it. The wildcard, which none of us know but the end of the 2018 season could provide clues too, is what it would have done to the enthusiasm of upperclassmen in the locker room if BM started over JG at the beginning of the season.
 
Oh...he was injured in the first half of the KY game?

Or he got injured in the 2and half of the tax slayer bowl?

This narrative that a true freshman who throws the ball to the other team as frequently as he throws touchdowns will never make sense to me.

Some would say he played bad at KY. But if CJP treated players the same then JG wouldnt have seen the fields after VAndy and after his 1st half in the bowl game...which is funny because JG was 11-20 130 and int at the half vs IU and stayed. But BM goes 50% 120 total yards and no TO and gets pulled vs KY

It obviously an choice by CJP to give JG a longer leash. Is that fair???

I have said through out the thread that he wasn‘t the same after the injury and truth be told probably should have red-shirted this season but at one point in the season the staff thought he was the better choice.
 
The only thing BM has shown is he is more inconsistent than JG, he does a worse job of protecting the football than JG and that he is injury prone.

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.
The “Trainee” has to live with his decisions...like any coach no matter the experience. His have worked out better than at least two EXPERIENCED HC’s hired in the SEC in the same year.

But aren’t those inconsistencies expected from a true freshman?
 
And all QB’s get inflated stats against poor competition so that shouldn’t even be brought up the debate.
A gets brought up because people like to "full season stats. In set of stats in which both players played against the same teams. And they do that because when compare Stats against top 25 teams for both JG and BM JG doesn't look so stellar
