Neither were good but Fromm played against much, much better defenses the last 6 games.

Yes he played better defenses but played awful against them.
He was also beyond awful against mizzu the only common opponent in those 6 games

Auburn is definitely way better but a lot of people on here have talked about how bad the LSU, Baylor and Aggies defenses are. I do think LSU and Baylor have above average defenses but not like it was a murderer's row of defense.

Yeah but a few folks on here already making excuses and propping up JG for next year... ridiculous... the kid will be a RS Senior and looked like a wide-eyed frosh in the freakin bowl game... over-threw half a dozen or more wide open players and F'd it up in the redzone three times... not to mention the completely forced interception against a vanilla Indiana team...
sorry guys but I haven't forgotten a single F'up this year each game from him and with Hill, a second year Maurer, and a stud like Bailey coming in, if JG sees the field then what ever happens is all on Pruitt and he should get blasted for it... If the kid has not developed by now, he never ever will. He plays his heart out and I certainly appreciate it, but with the talent a pieces of the puzzle we will now have going into next year, it simply cannot be all wasted by putting this kid in and letting him sling it... No more JJ and Calloway to bail him out...

Actually I think it's the opposite. I've seen very little "propping up JG for next year" on here. What I have seen plenty of is setting him up to be the scape goat if the season doesn't turn out the way THEY think it should.

IMO, he would find it hard to find playing time at either position. He will be a major contributor on special teams.

I agree. I afraid he has fallen so far behind and the talent level CP and staff has recruited is going to be hard to overcome. I'm not comfortable with him at RB and he might find some back up time at LB but with Easton and others and him missing a year is going to be challenging for him. jmho

Hot take:

Outside of the New York trip QBs none played consistently all year.

In other words if you weren’t named Fields, burrow, or hurts many fans of your team are ready to see the hot shot freshmen play next year and you to move on.

I don’t think it was easily either side. After the Tenn game Fromm was just awful. Very inaccurate.

Last 6 games.
Fromm-
5-1
91-181 under 50%
196 yards per game
13 TDS
2 picks
With a very good bowl game

JG
6-0
78-135-58% completions
208 yards a game
8 TDS
4 picks
a bad bowl game

if you take out the bowl game clearly JG was better than Fromm. It’s a darn draw with the way they played down the stretch imo.

I was the founder of the Fromm is overrated train from day 1.....

But Fromm is a 300x Better QB than JG. It’s not even remotely debatable. Fromm will be a late first or 2nd round pick. JG will be lucky to get a scout team rep.

Yeah, just saw that post. Not sure I've seen much "propping up", on here.
Think he may have been waging a war on an entire strawman army with that one, haha.

What freshman power back? Whitehead will never be a running back. Do not see Tee as a RB either but I could be wrong on him we will see. JJ Peterson is not a football player. He will never see the field at UT again imo.

Peterson came in when Bituli went out with the injury in the bowl game. Doug Mathews indicated it’s starting to click as well for Peterson.

you aren’t getting an argument from me on anything you said in this post other than I doubt he’s drafted that high

But Fromm wasn’t better than JG in the last 6 games imo

So who starts over him beside To'o To'o? Crouch will be OLB!
Hate to break it to you but Jordan and Chandler do not compliment Gray. They are not very good running backs. Chandler is fast but that's about all he has to offer.

Ty Averages 5 yards a carry for his career and was our most consistent runner this year. I like gray and i know he was just a freshman but he was very inconsistent this year (which is expected).

Ty took a step back in the Receiving aspect this year which was disappointed but that’s mainly Bc Chaney doesn’t throw to RBs very much historically.

I remember way to many swing passes to RB hitting the dirt to agree with this.

I don’t think he should go that high. He’s a early 3rd at best imo. But that’s just what ppl were saying.

JG can’t handle the full load of being the QB for an entire game. Our coaches made it work mainly Bc the back half of our schedule was the easiest it’s been all decade imo. Missouri, South Carolina, & miss state all took a dump down the stretch.

JGs Vanderbilt game alone (6-17 120yds 1td 1int.) is maybe the worst game Vs a bad team I’ve Ever seen a Tennessee QB play.

The only time Fromm turned the ball over the 2nd half the year was vs LSU when they were having to play keep up and that’s just not what he can do.

That was all our RBs which is why i complained about DJ this year. We struggled running routes. Specifically those be we ran them to flat instead of up the field.

You can’t debate that TY was our most consistent runner this year.
