All of these will typically break down into two sides and a caveat.
You have a few who think JG is a great QB handicapped by everyone else. These folks largely see Maurer as a threat to their near cult like devotion to JG. So... they attack Maurer unreasonably. They use double standards and twist facts, stats, and logic in perverse ways.
Then you have a group who recognizes to one extent or another JG is a flawed, ineffective, and unsuccessful QB. By and large this group just wants to see great play from the QB position and no longer believes JG can provide it. Few if any in this group have anything like a cult like devotion to BM... but end up defending him a lot. Pretty much all recognize that Maurer played both good and bad during the season. He has potential but has NOT proven he's the answer yet.
The caveat are those who have already pushed all in on Bailey. Generally they know JG is limited but are willing for him to be the seat warmer. They'll take shots at Maurer but for the most part just assume Bailey will make everyone else an afterthought. Basically... they'd probably say there is no valid reason to debate JG or JG vs Maurer since HB is the coming messiah.
It's a simple solution. With Georgia and UF's looming weakness, with OU being down, with Alabama being down even by their standards, with the scheduling of those teams compared to ours, you have to win next year. JG has the most (albeit bad) experience. UGA/UF/AL will be loaded in '21. I'd rather BM or HB take their hits now to prepare them for that certainty. What do you say if your CJP if you start JG this year, and you win eight games and don't get BM or HB any experience?
