1 for 7 on 3rd down and missed scoring opportunities allowed SC back in the game when the game should of been a blowout by halftime. That is on JG. Only way we win the game is because SC is a mediocre football team. The Qb position is the weak link for us being competitive with the top tier SEC teams. We are capable of competing at every other position group.
My only point there is that’s the trending belief that Bailey is the future. But rank alone coming out of Hs doesn’t always mean the most talented in a room full of qbs you weren’t even competing against. He’s had ONE opportunity to prove he deserved his rank at the opening and he placed 11 out of 12 when the talent was equaled out across the board. There’s a real possibility that’s he’s been beaten out in that room.
I’ve said this before and I’ll keep going back to the point. He completed 54% of his passes in games he was prepared as a starter. JG completed 59% last year. Bo Nix was at 57%. Which means JG was only 5% better and Bo was only 3% better. When you’re fair in the comparison it shows he was right where he should be as a freshman and not far behind our 4th year starter with very little preparation. To me, that’s inspiring as I’d think it should’ve been to everyone. Then taken into consideration that he wasn’t thrown in until murderous row only makes it that much more impressive.
That's dumb by your own proof. BM had more yards against one of the best, most talented D's in college football IN A HALF than JG had against this particular USCe D.
. Don’t think it happens? It happens all the time. Do you REALLY think Fromm was more talented than Justin Fields? I mean..... Kirby makes millions too. How many people, coaches, players do you think agree with his evaluation of qbs?
