Ill be happy to discuss thise reasons in private as some were given to me that wayWhat are your other reasons to believe he is "disingenuous"and "me first"? Because facial expressions vary by player/personality type.. if you're going to use those words to describe him you should definitely have more reasons. The kid has taken a beating physically and through the media/fans ( some definitely warranted).
He reminds me -demeanor-wise- of Casey Clausen. Clausen went out, did the job and won games, but I don’t think he was ever as embraced by the fans as guys like Andy Kelly and Heath Shuler. CC wasn’t from here and just wasn’t a magnetic guy. Clearly, JG hasn’t played as well as those guys either, but I really wonder if it would matter much.Sometimes a change of scenery, and coaching, is just what is needed to fix a player. That may be the case with JG. For whatever reason, I have my own opinions why, he’s never gained traction like he should have here. If he goes I wish him nothing but the best of luck.
I have a fantastic life, it was a topic within a topic. Had I wanted to go out of my way to tear him down I would have started a thread with a rumor. Spread such rumor all over Twitter, Facebook etc. For the record, I never called JG a liar you only assumed. I found the story odd, he randomly tells the media he got death threats. Coach Pruitt says the following Monday he doesn't have any idea what the reporter was talking about and says UT will look into it. Rewind all the way back to summer, JG tells the media after 3 years they've been pronouncing his name wrong. JG is an odd dude and has had an odd career here sprinkled with bits of brilliance. Never said UT was trying to cover it up, you did and you're simply putting words in my mouth to create fake rage on your part.
Not unbelievable, just something very odd about the whole situation. Crompton's were well noted and his family was issued security detail during games at Neyland.Daniel Lincoln and Jonathon Crompton also said they got death threats. It's not that unbelievable, especially since JG has gotten hate for over 3 years now.
I always found it strange that 1... he never stood uo for his sister. 2..his family or team especially his father never spoke on the subject 3..and perhaps most troubling is my university never spoke out on it....i mean "mean messages" that her brother alluded to were threats to a college female on a major university campus and its crickets...nothingNot unbelievable, just something very odd about the whole situation.

Yes, because you always keep underclassmen on a short leash. If they break a cardinal rule in game like throwing cross body over the middle(maurer has done several times) they get pulled, so they learn. But that doesnt mean that there was never a competition, that's just how a smart coach handles developing a qb. Have you ever noticed Dan Mullen doesnt let QBs throw in game until they are close to being a junior? It's called development, I know it's been lacking around here recently but thats what it looks like.So are you saying in games played maurer and shrout were not on a shorter leash than jg?
But since you want to push thr issue and be an ass...Are only going to discuss what a prevent defense looks like in private too? Because you didn't respond.
Dak Prescott threw the ball 267 times his sophomore year...Yes, because you always keep underclassmen on a short leash.
