I really just don’t understand the reasons not to switch QBs. Can’t say they’re too turnover prone, JG turned it over 3 times in the second half. If we have a gunslinger at QB, even if they throw a couple picks the defense will have to respect their arm, opening the run game. Defenses at this point do not care if JG throws.

JG was great the first half. He was absolutely terrible in the 2nd. Alot of JGs poor play is because he was literally running for for his life. JG and the oline are the reason we lost. The RBs got blown up in pass protection. GA was able to do this by not respecting JG as a passer. At this point, I really do think it's time to play for the future and take your lumps with a new qb. We know that wont happen, tho.

We lost one game to arguably the best team in college football. Our other divisional foe lost yesterday too. What kind of insanity is this to “play for the future”. And if JG was runnIng for his life as you say, why do we think any of our other QBs would be successful under those conditions?

Jim Chaney let us down in the second half also. When you can’t protect for deep throws and can’t run, stop trying to run on first down all the one and being predictable, and throw some quick hitters over the middle against their man D, hit the backs for quick routes out of the backfield or split them out to the slot to draw man coverage of a LB. Maybe some Misdirection plays, but seen very little of any of this.

Great is debatable. His first td was under thrown. And nl it was not a back shoulder. It was sky high and short.

I'm just saying that even playing with a new qb, we can still beat the teams we would beat with JG and lose to the teams we would lose to with JG. So why not get next years some experience?

If we start bailey.. we probably still win all the games we would win with JG. We still lose the games we would lose with JG. Next years qb gets experience. You can replace bailey with shrout or maurer and it's the same outcome. This year is probably over for us in terms of winning the east. If the right decisions are made this year tho, it can set us up better next year.

At this stage in JG's career and his history, he has to be easy for the competition to prepare for.
I bet KY would hate to hear that we are starting another QB against them. At least use it to our advantage to make them prepare extra and then bring in JG like last year if need be.

Can't we at least use a little creativity and strategic planning? Right now we are very predictable.

I will try an answer. When you have pocket presence to avoid the pressure and you complete some passes when blitzed (aka make the other team pay) then the defense will change their tactics. I think about when Tyler Bray came into the game ...he was so shifty and that difference was huge!

Dude, I bet you had a very big bottle of strong stuff so you didn't care, or made you laugh instead of cry!

They don't seem to let JG throw in the middle of the field or he doesn't want to. That cuts out half the options.

UGA's ex-walkon thrived at it, felt the pocket collapse and stepped up most of the time, escaped or got got rid of the ball. Then our DB dropped an interception.

Besides JG my biggest gripe is the mistakes and unforced penalties. Jumping offsides, coverage breakdowns, etc. Literally helped UGA all the way down the field one drive.

As have most of his long throws to wide open receivers. I remember his first year when we lost 2 games because he couldn't get long passes past the 2 yard line!

The oline, for all of their size and strength, not only were they getting whipped physically, but the were also clueless on "who" they should be blocking.

They were reminiscent of a Don Mahoney-coached oline, with at least one of them standing around looking for who to block as the JG was getting flushed from the pocket.

JG wasn't helping them with his lead feet, and determination to hold on to the ball as long as possible, but they played poorly, and even if they were getting beat by a stronger Dline, actually having them all block someone on every play would have made a difference.

I understand how you look at the Oline and see them missing assignments. I think the reason was Ga had no respect for JGs passing they played 8 and sometimes 9 up close to the line. They were able to rush 4 and bring a blitz (sometimes 2). Several times they brought a blitzer and then a delayed blitz on same play. This effectively shut down the run game and cripled the passing game. The 2 long TD passes were the result of them playing man to man and both times they got burnt because they had no deep safety help. If JG were more athletic he could have moved around and burnt them more often but he can’t see the field when he is blitzed.

yea, Georgia changed their approach in the second half. Their DEs committed to getting to the QB and to not even worry about the run. So JG went 11-13 when he had a little time but just 12-23 with an Int when they turned up the heat. He was also hit more in second half including having ball striped 3 times.

It wouldn't matter which QB we played. They would have all been murdered. Did you notice our OL? They looked like a sieve in the 2nd half. JG was running for his life. The blindside couldn't be protected, hense the fumbles. Our "best in the SEC" OL is more responsible for the loss than is JG. That being said, the real reason for the loss is that UGA is way better than we are.

It wasn't just when they were stacking the box. There were plays where they rushed 4-5 and a defender got through while an oline man was standing there looking the opposite direction, and blocking no one.

JG's personal fault in this game was his slow decision making while under pressure. Sure, the pressure wasn't his fault but sometimes a quick throw away isn't a bad play. He still has no pocket awareness when we all knew the DL wasn't being blocked. Also, seems like the coaches would've run a few quick slants to help him out but no...

I know it probably wouldn't have mattered. Im not solely blaming JG. But after fumbling twice and throwing a pick, why not give Maurer a shot? He's at the very least more mobile which would've been nice in that game. I agree though. OL has to improve or it'll be a long season.
