All this QB talk and the one forgotten..

[cHiZzLeVOL]

The one forgotten is that Pruitt prefers a “safe” qb over an aggressive one. Its not about this qb vs that qb. It’s the reason JG was never challenged to begin with...... because “safe” is his preference and this is his team.

Not true. You can be aggressive and safe as a QB.

Pruitt wants a QB who is aggressive but also smart with the football.

This is the most ridiculous post I’ve seen from you.... oh wait no it isn’t....

I am open to Kasim Hill starting at QB, if he is the best option. I'd venture to say, that he's never played behind an o-line like he would, this season, should he be the starting QB, at some point.

 

[cHiZzLeVOL]

Most of us have and I’m sorry to those that don’t want to hear it but if were being honest he doesn’t look any better at throwing it than anyone else. Saying it’s just a matter of time is pure speculation.

good lord man. Gtfoh.

 

[cHiZzLeVOL]

It’s a tough transition when the first read is not open. I love people that think they could play QB. It ain’t easy. I hope Bailey can learn quick.

Good thing Bailey constantly did that in High School....

What is it about you that you can’t respond without attacking? Yes you can be aggressive and safe IF you know the offense inside and out. We didn’t have that luxury with ANY of the qbs we have last year because of a new OC. I’ve already conceded to DustyRockSolid that he may be correct in saying the same thing. The difference is he said it without being childish.

Please enlighten us to the difference you see when HB throws the ball vs any of the others.

 

[DustyRockSolid]

I'm not doubting you. Just looking to see what real evidence everyone has for their opinions. These are good reasons btw.

But, I try to keep in mind two things. #1 We have precisely zero Heisman candidates at the position if you know what I mean. We've got potential but we don't have anything the bank on. #2 I can still remember the unbridled confidence when JG came here and how he was going to light it up if you ever got a chance to get on the field too.

So, just sitting back and watching.

Its not IMPOSSIBLE for Kasim Hill to find his way into a game and absolutely ball out. Stranger things have happened. Very unlikely tho.

Accuracy. Touch. Awareness for where the ball needs to go. (Aka leading receivers) Ability to extend plays without immediately going to the run through usage of the pocket. Better mechanics all around. Oh yeah, he actually came in weighing what a college QB should without being fat. He weighs more then JG does after JG had to put on 30lbs. The only QB he might not weigh more then now is Kasim Hill.

Although I like Shrout he has an issue with throwing off of his back foot too much and throwing across his body. He also had accuracy issues.

JG has a lot of issues. But he is a pretty accurate QB. Although he doesn’t lead receivers.

Maurer has issues with leaving the pocket too soon and throwing into coverage. (Keeping the ball safe) Literally looks like a frantic person on the field.

There is a reason HB was a 5 star and JT and BM weren’t.

Every bit of what you wrote has been demonstrated by JG, Maurer as well as Shrout just last year alone AT THIS LEVEL. If you’re going on hs film, as you seem to be because HB hasn’t taken a single snap in college, I can provide video evidence of any of your above criticisms that you’re wrong as well. Pick your poison and name the throw that HB can make that the others can’t. Until then......how about YOU gtfoh.

just wait. Everything I just said is true. Your boy Maurer is done at UT. They even had Shrout in front of him during the spring. There is a reason you didn’t survive in the Recruiting Forum over here being the end all be all to the Football Forum guys. Who don’t know better.

Just like Maurer didn’t underthrow Keaton in the Orange and White game right?

Maurer will be here for this season if he can pass Shrout in practice but no matter what, Maurer isn't here next season.
I like Maurer but he wants to play. He will transfer somehere that he can start. I would love to see him go to Ole Miss and see what Kiffin can do for him.

 

[BACKDOC]

Hill has a really interesting story. He looked like the real deal before two ACL injuries.

One writer (Maybe Rucker) said in the periods the media was allowed to observe last year Hill often looked the best of all QBs

That aint sayin much.

Try and keep up.... your response had NOTHING to do with what I said. If you can’t win you attack huh? I know a few like that over here too.

And I’ve stayed away from the recruiting forum because I see the hype of HB and truth be told I don’t see it. I question his arm strength and abilities for good reason and preferred to keep it to myself. Over there people will draw it out of you. Over here most people just talk football.

I honestly do think the HB hype has legs. I've watched him alot, my dude. His arm strength isn't elite but its above average. He really does have the potential to be a top QB in the SEC.

I’m not saying he CANT be. I’m not saying he’s not good because he is. My questions are justified because no one knows the answers yet. His long toss was 58 yards at the elite 11 competition. He placed next to last, without a rush vs the best athletes in his class and vs qbs around the nation that he’s supposed to be better than. Was he a product of his team or was his team a product of him? A little of both? Idk. But we’re about to find out. The hype may be justified but at this point it can’t be anything more than rank and hope.

Be careful 1vol8 will racetrack you just like he did when Maurer started to have issues at QB. Came in saying he was gods gift to earth and then he started to turn the ball over etc.

Find the quote you’re referring to. Even I’m interested in this bs.

 

[MurphyVol]

Ha!

That aint sayin much.

Ha! truer words

 

[cHiZzLeVOL]

There are many quotes where you kept stating Maurer was basically “im paraphrasing a lot here” gods gift at QB and superior to JG etc and how he was going to be the starter this year. I’m not going and looking for them because you aren’t worth it.

Never had any issues with @1vol8
I think we differ on our opinion of Maurer but I don't think I've ever got into it with him.
Like I've said tho, Maurer will not be at UT by next season.

I don't think Maurer played better than JG last season. Maurer had some plays that were great and flashed at times but JG was the better option.
I do think Maurer did the best he could considering his lack of practice with the 1s.
If he had been given more reps with first team in practices he probably could have performed better.
I think Maurer has the ability to one day be a good QB with the right team and the right coach but it won't be here.
I would love to see Maurer go to Ole Miss and see what Kiffin can do with him.

That’s funny because I’ve NEVER claimed him to be BETTER, just different. I never once said he’ll be the starter and in fact JG SHOULD start. If you’re referring to when I said that “if he gets on the field he’ll run away with the job” you’re making a fool of yourself because that EXACTLY what was happening if he hadn’t gotten injured. Try again buddy. Better yet if you can’t win a debate with me without lying, crawl back into your little hole.

 

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

Thanks for starting a thread about an alternative option at QB opposed to the same repetitive narrative about JG and others...

However...

However, Hill has as much chance starting at QB as Jauan Jennings does in 2020.

Complete non-factor.

Why?

I'm more optimistic when it comes to HB.
