Year 4 ... Same Old JG

[Proud Army Wife]

You can never in this day and time win constantly running the football. You must have a balanced attack.

I agree. Everyone always talking so highly of KY in the preseason, but that's why they only win 8 or so games. Being a one dimensional offense no matter how good you are at it won't get you over the hump.

 

[Proud Army Wife]

Kind of hard to deny that we lose without that pick 6 too isn’t it? Thank you Henry T for allowing you to make such a ridiculous comment because otherwise we lose WITHOUT throwing ints.

I can’t guarantee much but I can guarantee a Maurer lead team converts third downs on a much more regular basis than 1-10. Which leads to...... you guessed it!..... more points!

We'll never know. Kid missed a lot of practice and so did Bailey. Kid throws a beautiful ball tho.

Terry Wilson is Jarret Guarantano if he could run the ball, but with worse ball security skills.

Pretty much. I had some good laughs at KY fans going into the season. "Just wait, we have a real QB back with Terry so we'll be even better." Lmao. Yeah good luck with that

 

[Proud Army Wife]

He literally said " it seemed.like i was gonna get hit" 1st question. Might wanna listen to it again chief

I need to go back and find that play where o-line gave him all day to throw yet he still got sacked. I want to see who he had open. I was sitting there yelling wtf are you doing! Scramble or throw it away geez.

Watched it last night. Everything was covered. Definitely should've thrown it away, but man if he could've gotten his foot loose, he was going to run for 20 yards out the right side.

That's what I was thinking. He had a huge window there!

 

[swampfoxfan]

Apparently you cannot see how JG’s poor
Play costs us points, time of possession, playcalling and now even momentum on another team’s homefield. He is 99% responsible for this being a tie game vs. UT being up 28 points. Go watch another 4 to 5 decades of football like I have
and then maybe you will understand.

Truth hurts I guess. What part of what I stated do you believe is BS.

History shows JG is good on 3rd down. He was piss poor against SC tho. Given his history of being good on 3rd down, I want to assume he will clean that up. Maurer prolly hits the passes JG overthrew. He also might throw a pick, or miss some of the passes JG hit on. We dont know. I hope maurer does great if we need him. I just hope we dont need him. JG gives us a better chance to win.

I’d like to know where this history of being good on third down is for a qb that earned the reputation of not being able to sustain drives for a reason. We all have eyes and I’m trying not to pile on but dammit you guys make it hard! I’ve seen this team go 3 and out on a regular basis so you can’t convince me of you claim even with some BS stat. When they don’t go 3 and out, the norm is a couple of first downs and a punt. We hang on the hope of a big play every drive because JG is unlikely to get the team into scoring position 3-5 yards at a time between the 20s.

I personally seen improvement in JG. I think he played great in terms of decision making. However, the areas he showed no improvement are the same exact areas that many people have been complaining about such as accuracy and holding the ball. No ints is great but don’t get it twisted. There’s a difference in a qb that isn’t throwing ints because of accuracy and ball placement vs one that isn’t because he’s not taking chances. We have the latter and that’s the equivalent of a prevent defense. It only “prevents” you from winning (see JGs overall record).

He took chances.

He missed a few open throws, Way too many.

Still hit 61% with 8.4 ypa and no turnovers with two scores accounted for passing and rushing.

PFF: Jauan Jennings was perfect for Vols on third down in 2019

This is where they are getting that from. Jennings was good on 3rd downs.

...and JG has completed at a 65% clip on 3rd down the past 2 years. His 3rd down completion and efficiency stats are a little mind-blowing. The numbers are better than how it feels like he did. Only thing I can figure is that we've run the ball so bad that every 3rd down is on the passing game and it feels like he fails more than he does.

I guess we now know how much of an impact Jennings was on those 3rd-down conversion stats last season.

No doubt he was great. But after two years in a row of numbers like that, I'd say some it is JG as well.

Do you have a stat link for those completion resulting in a 1st down????? Or is that it????

Sorry if that came off jerkish....im looking for advanced stats for college.

 

[IMALLVOL22]

I've been critical of him as well. But at least he doesn't turn the ball over very often. I'm going to wait till after the Mizzou game to see. A lot of teams looked bad today and SC was said to be a decent team and the game was at the chicken coop. Their 5th year qb had his OC brought from CSU with him so he knew what the offense was. If JG throws like he did in this game next week, I'm full blown back on the please sit JG train.

Oh......NOW you want include rushing stats now that JG got one?! So NOW you’re willing to admit that Maurer scored 4 tds last season? Gtfoh!

JG was good on first and second down dude. But what you don’t realize is qb B could’ve beaten us with a 33% accuracy rate by simply converting on third.

Third down is called “money” down for a reason. If your qb chokes on “money” down you lose. If he doesn’t you win. It’s as simple as that and should show you that stats DO NOT tell the story. In fact, leaning on stats is the equivalent of ONLY reading the last 10 pages of a book.

 

[IMALLVOL22]

Game 1 and per coach Pruitt. WR haven’t been available so not all on JG. 19-31 259yds & 1TD. Missed high most of the night. Will be much improved by next Saturday.

I will have too see it too believe it. When you telegraph the WR your going too. Just sooner or later will turn into a pick 6. He does that on consistent basis.

I dont care enough to post links to prove that by the stats, he is usually good on 3rd down. JG had a decent game but he needs to clean up his overthrows and 3rd down passes. Some people are acting like he played terrible. He did not play terrible.He is the starter and that's not gonna change unless he ***** the bed. Even if he gets pulled, it will probably be shrout that replaces him.

I'm sure the stats are out there. I know we finished 3rd in the league in 3rd down efficiency last year.

it doesnt matter anyway. Jg is the starter and shrout will most likely come in if anything bad happens. We might not even get to see if your boy maurer can actually finish a game or throw better than 50 percent completion. Or see if he can clean up the interceptions.

I have discussed passing when we were talking about passing. I never said he did not have a couple of rushing tds. He wasn't good passing the ball.

JG was great on third last year, Its only game one. Still 60% with a td and no turnovers with his third down struggles.

And why bring BM up? He isn't the subject.

But since you want to go there this "bad" game would be a career game for BM.

No offense to maurer but there is a good chance he throws a pick or two if he played in that game instead. With the way our defense played at times, we simply can't have that.

Completion % isn’t the important part. It’s conversions. He can be 65% on third behind the line to gain. He’s known for throwing behind the sticks and not converting. That’s why that stat is “mind blowing” because it “suggests” conversions although it’s anything but. Which also explains your feeling that he wasn’t as good as that says he was.
