Maurer’s Instagram Post

He played in some of those and was ineffective. You also left out a few stinkers.

I also debunked the played well narrative. He wasn't good except for one quarter.
Beside garbage time vs chatt. He didnt play...your a blatant liar. I hope when JG leaves u do too

So for JG its his full season stats. But for BM he only get credit for a good quarter

Do you even watch the games because if you did you would know that BM appeared in none of those games.

I stand corrected he did appear in the Chattanooga game.
 
Neither are stellar....that's not the point.

It's about who protects the ball better and who sucks less.

Look.

We dont have a good QB on campus today.

We all hope that will be different in the fall.

But I'll bet you $100,000 to a jelly glazed doughnut that if HB comes in, wins the job and is responsible for 3 T.O.s you idiots will be calling for his head too.

We are not good enough to overcome turnovers in most instances and ESPECIALLY against the better teams we play . CJP is smart enough to realize that and as long as that is the case he will always play the guy who throws it to the other team less frequently.
Which is why he should’ve used a season of low expectations to get one of the others with higher upside more ready for 2020. Maybe we don’t beat GAST that way. maybe we don’t blow out UTC but there’s not a doubt in my mind we still go bowling and BM has the opportunity to learn to protect himself better vs cupcake teams rather than the best defenses in the nation. Jmo
 
Dude. With the beating JG took his freshman and sophomore years are you REALLY going there?

J.H.C.
Yes. Because as hard as he’s been hit and as tough as he is he was never hit as squarely and at full speed as BM was vs UGA that I’ve seen. He’s never landed on his head. I’m not saying JG hasn’t taken a beating because he absolutely has but the hits BM took were just different and yet he still got up with no more than the breath knocked out of him and a concussion that has nothing to due with being prone.

BM is a talented, inexperienced, inconsistent QB prone to the mistakes you expect a true freshman to make.

JG still isn't a good QB. Nothing you do to trash BM changes the simple fact that JG was so ineffective that he was benched multiple times and never nailed the position down in spite of Pruitt really wanting him to do so.

BM didn't play because he was "great" or "ready". He played because JG played bad.

You are outside your mind.

Do you know how many helmet to helmet shots JG took his first 2 years? If you dont....go research it.....and then come back here and let us all know.

Lord help me.....you people are flat out 100% cluless

This^^^^!!!! Bash BM all you want but the fact is he would never have seen the field without JG being ineffective.

No..... you want everyone to believe he only played well for 1 qtr.(your opinion) because that was his best HALF. The truth is he played well in every game he was prepared for. You want to use his mistakes as a basis of how he played overall and that’s simply not true. You also want to use the int vs Bama as a basis of his performance as well and no matter how hard you try you’ll never convince anyone that was on him.
 
Outside of the concussion can you point out a time he was injured? Because no one else can. So “injury prone” is nothing more than dishonest phrase used to minimize him. In fact that shot he took vs UGA would’ve sidelined most qbs for at least the following week. After landing on his head the way he did vs MSU, how many qbs get up talking chit to the defense? Suddenly he doesn’t seem so “injury prone” once you discard your opinion and face the facts does he?
He's either injury prone or not capable of finishing games due to injury or performance, it's got to be one or the other and neither one of them is a good QB trait to have. You acting like concussions are not injuries (thus the term injury prone) is a joke. He started 4 games, a 1/3 of our season and he didn't once finish the game, didn't once lead the Vols to victory as a starter. He got to come off the bench a few times as well and once again whether through injury or performance he never led us to a comeback victory. You claiming Pruitt has mishandled BM this season is pure BS as well as he got the opportunity to have a full gameplan around him for 4 games this season. He was either too fragile or too ineffective to get it done. Now he's in a dogfight to earn playing time and on paper right now he very easily could be 3rd string going into spring practice. He needs 20-30 lbs added to his frame and he needs a better understanding of the playbook and the little social media frenzy he was a part of could not have went over that great with the coaches. You also like to lay blame on other players quite often when you look at BMs overall statistics, stats that rank alongside the 5 worst QBs in the SEC that played this season, and those same stats are one of the reasons our passing numbers were not that good this year. He doesn't have a magical arm, he's fast but without any elusiveness or power and he makes terrible decisions as to where to throw the football. You think he's the next great dual threat QB, you think Coach Pruitt has badly mishandled Maurer and the QB position this year, you think Tn is destined for mediocrity if Maurer is not QB1 and you make claims that he once made a throw in HS that only 2 NFL QBs could make. I personally don't think any of that is true and believe it's the exact opposite. In an ideal world for Vol football as I see it, BM would stay and you, who is only a fan of 1 Vol, would leave.
 
I don't think ANYONE is bashing BM. At least not that I have seen.

I have, however, seen people say he's not great, hasn't been able to retain the job when given the chance and statistically is worse than JG....all of which are factually accurate.....telling the truth isn't bashing.

Where was this a helmet to helmet debate? This conversation is about “bone jarring” hits that cause injury and JG hasn’t been hit quite like BM was vs UGA. Keep up K town.

Wrong again. This was about a guy being injury prone. You were the first person to use the word concussion....and how does one get concussed?........I'll wait while you Google it

Facts are fact.....even when they are inconvenient for your agenda.

I’m not reading that book. Summarize and I’ll be glad to expose you as I’ve done all along.
 
No.... he knocking off rust while passing for 100 yards and rushing for 10 yards a carry in less than a quarter of play.
I love how you throw those stats out there, how many points did he produce and what was the score of the game when he left? How did JG do his 1st 3 possession of the game? Amazing that someone as bad as JG can come in and be effective without having the gameplan practiced all week for him, yet Maurer as good as he is, supposedly only struggles because he's had no gameplan for him in games when he's come off the bench? Your dude is a project and is at least 2 years away from being a productive player in the SEC.

A concussion can happen on any hit to anyone. I brought that up because THAT was the ONE injury that he had. So a kid getting concussed ONCE doesn’t exactly point to being “injury prone”.

No.....but one who suffered 2 concussions in 2 weeks......you know what, nevermind, This is pointless.

Alert Sane Objective View Point Ahead:
With the current debate aside, there is no way anyone can compare the punishment BM has taken to JG’s first 2 seasons. In fact I can’t remember any other UT quarterback taking worse or more regular beating even the past more violent eras. The hit BM took against Bama was a regular occurrence in 2017 and 2018.

My opinion is he was never healthy after the hit he took at the end of the UGA game and probably should not have played the next week against Bama but the coaches at that point in the season felt he gave us the best opportunity to win and I trust that they made the right decision.

I agree he is now in a dog fight for playing time and could come out of spring practice as QB1 or QB3. Who knows but competition is good for the position.

He had the ball 8.5 min, produced those numbers and scored 3 points due to a personal foul by Trey Smith.

Once again.... keep up. JP has said numerous times that there’s always been a plan for JG to come in. Never the other way around. As I’ve stated earlier in the thread BM is a spread and attack qb where JG is a conservative, bunch formation qb. Those game plans can’t coexist with each other. So if there’s a PLAN for JG that means they are ready and he is prepared. If there’s NO PLAN for Maurer than that means he’s unprepared. Get it now or is that too complicated to comprehend?

The amount of hits isn’t the debate. I wouldn’t even try and debate that. The subject at hand is BM was hit harder vs UGA than JG ever was singularity.
