I can't agree with you on this because I firmly believe that without Maurer's injury... he would have started the rest of the season.
Ainge didn't lack Confidence, that's for sure. He had plenty enough talent, enough football acumen and a surrounding cast that didn't require ainge to be more than he was.
That’s true and I believe that as well. But it makes you question that feeling when he’s asked about Maurer and nearly every response turned to JG and what he did in the same game. Almost like he deflected the questions sometimes to talk about JG.
Lol, we have one of the best QB rooms in the SEC and it's seemingly getting better through recruiting. We have one of the most experienced QB rooms in the country, we have one of the highest rated group of QBs in the country and we have a stable full of young WRs to throw to. Pruitt has done a great job with the QB position and it could very likely turn into a position of strength the next 5-7 years depending on if we land future prospects in Tee's son, Manning's newphew and several other top guys we're in on to go along with those we currently have. What a joke in thinking that Pruitt has mishandled the QB position, hell he's set it up to be successful for a while.
I agree with everything you said until you called it a joke that Pruitt mishandled the qbs. You don’t have to look back very far to find the “fire Pruitt” threads BECAUSE he mishandled the qbs early. I’ve given him credit for how he handled it down the stretch but it doesn’t change what got us there to begin with.
Why should we have won by 15+? Pretty sure Vegas had it a 3 point game and the only ones predicting a blowout were overzealous Vol fans. Doesn't matter why we were behind as he played nearly flawless when it mattered and when the pressure was the greatest. You woulda coulda shoulda guys need to find a better argument than by starting out saying "we should of". This post is about WRs anyway.
Why does it matter how it starts, it's how it finishes and right now at this moment everything about the QB position at UT is a positive. That doesn't mean it'll play out successfully but I like the strength of that position today as compared to what our QB room has looked like the last 10 years. For a 1st time coach who inherited a terrible roster to do what he has done at the position is 1st class stuff all the way, not just part of the time. He's also built this roster to not have to rely on great QB play in order to compete and that will be what pays off the most.
Maybe you should enroll him in the same online course you took? Glad you’re Wikipedia’ng our great players to use as examples on a new edit thread.
Random question, if the Colts hadn’t cut loose Jim Harbaugh before Peyton’s rookie season OR signed anybody capable of starting games, would they have rode through every single one of those 28 interceptions? While you ruminate and relate, that NFL FRANCHISE which had lost enough games to land Peyton in the first place, was prepared to LOSE LOTS OF GAMES while Peyton worked “through those issues”. You seriously think Pruitt coming off an oft criticized 5 win first season had the damn time to cultivate a 3 star QB who didn’t exactly match Peyton’s durability...much less prowess? Peyton broke his jaw in his fourth season and MISSED ONE PLAY. Quit trying to force feed this comparison to sell your boy...it doesn’t work.
Don’t know about the “kept” part. Whenever Shrout was on the field, I envisioned this comedy skit where this act was performing and you kept seeing this hook in the background. Whenever the performer would struggle with a joke the hook would inch towards him and then he’d hit on one and it would back up...then it swooped and yanked him off the stage when he coughed.
LSU used Edwards-Helier in so many ways last year he became just another huge asset for them. I think he caught 50 balls or something crazy. I feel like we could use Chandler and Grey more isolated against linebackers and give whoever the QB is an extra easy read.
