Yea the other two have shown they are way more accurate.

Especially Maurer.

Use your eyes.... open.

I mean 46%. What else can you say?

Well, to start, you can say he threw balls away rather than taking a negative play... because he did. You can also say that his 4 for 13 passing vs Chatt and UF which had NOTHING to do with the outcome of the game are legitimate to any evaluation of him last fall. In the games where his throws were meaningful to the outcome of the game... he did much better.

Of course to recognize any of this... you'd have to be an honest person. You are not.

That boy don't miss.

Never said that. I said that both he and Shrout were more accurate on deep throws. And by "accurate" that includes not throwing the long ones short.

Everyone going to ignore this dude claiming Pruitt only starts JG because of their personal relationship?

Has it ever occurred to you that maybe my opinions are justified? I’ve been disagreed with several times over the past year and change but I’ve yet to be wrong. Maybe that’s just a sign that you should listen more instead of being so arrogant.

I've told him before I did not believe that to be the case. He acknowledges the disagreement.

I'll say it again. I think Pruitt likes JG for several reasons and doesn't like the idea of benching an upperclassman. There is some "bias" in that kind of decision but it isn't personal. I also think you have a hard time arguing a personal bias when Pruitt yanked JG (even with very good statistics) after the UF game last year and inserted Maurer. He showed every sign of sticking with Maurer before the injuries.

1vol8 has more insider connections than I do. But to me that doesn't sound like any kind of personal bias.

There are reasons that have developed that lead to and support my opinions. I’ve continuously said that it has nothing to do with talent and everything to do with experience.

I was at IKEA picking up a credenza for my wife’s office...quality time. 😒

It always goes back to this with 1vol8. Forces uniting against his boy. Then he’ll claim something else and hope we don’t use the search feature...repeat as necessary. 😴

Shocking that you’d agree with yourself on never being wrong.

Most of JGs errant throws were not behind the receiver, they were way over their head. Had they been down they were probably catchable. Most of the bad ones even our 7 foot center would not have been able to catch.

If some of his passes had hit anyone in the field, surgery would be required to remove it from them. Flair and mid range passing is not his forte but he can definitely put some heat on those throws.

You rely solely on stats to make your case and totally ignore the intangibles a player like Maurer brings to the offense. Intangibles JG simply does not possess.

Would Maurer throw an interception? Yea, he just might. However, the energy he injects into the offense is well worth it IMO. Give him the reigns. Hell, give Shrout or Bailey the reigns. It's time to end the JG experiment. No better season to do it than this one.. It's a 'mulligan' season anyway.

Season still counts and sets the pace for future recruiting/momentum. HC takes a “mulligan” on the season and everyone doesn’t take one on him.

There's always a reason to change if a position player isn't getting the job done. Your factual viewpoint is preposterous.

let me rephrase it... theres exactly ZERO chance that Pruitt is going to bench his senior QB to go to an unproven sophmore or true freshman if the Vols continue to win with the senior out there. I'm ready to take your money whenever you're ready to take that bet.

19/31 259 1td 0 int and rushed for another. Those numbers aren't worthy of the legion of the miserable's scorn.
Click to expand...

Those are numbers in a vacuum.

What is the context?

He failed to convert on 3rd down ELEVEN times! Not 1....not 3....not 8...ELEVEN TIMES!!! Do you understand what that does to a defense having to constantly get back out on then field?

There's no excuse...
He and PRUITT mainly deserve every bit of the heat.

This ain’t rocket science boys. Pruitt isn’t going to risk a job getting paid millions to play an inconsistent QB over more talented guys. And knowing Pruitt, he dang sure isn’t playing guys because he likes them better. And Chaney isn’t stupid. If Shrout or Maurer were more talented, they’d be in there. Maurer might have the talent but he has not stayed healthy long enough to show it. One more concussion may end it for him. Bailey is probably the most talented by reputation but he has missed a lot of practice time and just isn’t ready. Sad as it is, JG is the choice right now. Just the way it is and we’ll have to ride the roller coaster.

Worley was sacked 29 times in the 2014 season, and he only played in 7 games.

Yeah, he did get destroyed quite a bit as well. I would have hated to be him or Compdaddy. I think JG has taken some of the biggest shots I’ve seen, but by the numbers, both of those guys have taken more.

What is ridiculously foolish is for someone to believe a coach can't be baised!😅.

Coaches are some of the most biased people you will ever encounter in life!

I was torn last Saturday watching Brian be a good teammate on the sideline. It seems like he's just trying to be happy. You would know more than me specifically. Personally I wish he would become a little more selfish and focused on taking the job back. Take the business approach.

Mizzou...
I don't know what happened, but their front 7 is light years better than last year. Their Ends and LBs are really aggressive and explosive. I expect Brian to get his first chance Saturday.

Not an answer and a cop out response. What do you disagree with with? Be specific.

It would be wasted time as you are completely sold on JG being permanently benched. But I will throw out one little thing. You state JG was 99% responsible for S.C. scoring. Please tell me how JG affected the gamecocks opening drive, you know the drive to open the game,JG had not touched the football but was still responsible for giving up a score?
