Speaking of starting QB's, remember when...

[jarnol32]

I heard his dad went off on the staff bc they passed on the 2nd coming of PM. And that brings up an interesting thot ... Isn't it weird that we went from 2 straight Heisman runner up QBs and both top 5 draft picks ... yet our QB recruiting / development has been pedestrian for 20+ years since

Joey Mathews got tendinitis is his throwing elbow. It killed his arm strength.

Peterman went to the NFL....

5 years later. It doesn’t matter. He wasn’t ready to play when the fan base screamed for him.

 

[LTVol]

Remember when that red headed chick from American pie grabbed that flute? Jason Biggs remembers.

One time at band camp . . .

 

[LTVol]

The problem with Peterman is that Butch threw him to the wolves at Florida when he could have given Peterman the entire second half in a no win game vs Oregon to get some reps on the road. Now we prolly win the UF game had Worley started it given how he played after Peterman broke his thumb. However, Butch was absolutely horrible at QB management over career.

Biggest mistake was not starting Jim Bob Cooter. At least we woulda had the coest QB name in Football.

If we’re playing that game, then what Peterman did for us back then is irrelevant to our current situation. Thread is useless.

 

[TennVols12]

You ignorant!!
Remember Peterman did fine at Pitt, been in the NFL, Where’s Worley been?
Maybe botch couldn’t make an offensive plan for Peterman to succeed.
Remember Hiesman winners Mayfield, Burrow? Didn’t win at their first schools cause they didn’t get a chance! Dumb coaches kicking their selves now I bet!!

Lol at all of this. At UT, you can’t honestly say that Peterman was better than Worley..and you don’t want to talk about Peterman’s NFL days..

Also, to use Heisman winners in a scenario in reference to Maurer and Shroudt...Bro, just stop.

 

[Volunteer_Kirby]

The issue I and most others have is why is JG the best QB on the roster in year 3? That's a terrible indictment on the staff from a roster building and coaching standpoint.

Same with TE and the lack of a power running back. No one has hamstrung this offense more than Pruitt himself.

 

[wmcovol]

No, but the same fans screaming for a QB change are still here. If we think Pruitt is the guy (I have my own doubts for other reasons) then we gotta trust that he knows who the QB is. Bottom line is they don’t beat anyone in the SEC last year with Maurer at QB.

 

[JMSqb11]

Clausen was a helluva QB. Won a lot of big games on the road

He will go down as the most underrated QB in Tennessee history.

 

[2GeeZ4VolZ]

Peterman went to the NFL....

Yeah, but before he was done here he was the most hated qb on campus I could recall, til JG showed up. It’s a fact, backup qb is always the best player on the field just because.

[VolForLife83]

Botch gave in to similar fanbase/QB misery and benched Worley for Peterman? How'd that turn out?

JG's no Iceman, Tee, Dobbs nor even Ainge, but he gives us our best chance to win...or he wouldn't be playing.

Y'all think he's got pix of CJP with a goat or something and that's why he starts? CJP doesn't owe JG anything - he's Botch's recruit. If the backups were sort of close, CJP would start them every game for the rest of the season to build experience for next year.

Maybe JG just needs to come off the bench...whatever, but he's the best chance we've got to win games.

He may be, but how many times have we seen bench warmers step up and be the man? Bennett at Ga was told by the staff ( in a sense ) that he wasn't going to make it. Turns out he is thre best they have at the moment. Trask was benched for Franks. The mighty Manning was going to sit the bench for us. Justin Fields, Baker Merrifield, Russell Wilson, Josh Dobbs and many, many others were benched in favor of guys just like JG.

We don't know until they get a couple games under their belt. Peyton looked he was going to be an interception machine at times. Turn Mauer loose if you don't want to damage HB. Or give shrout a chance. This year is a wash anyway

 

[GVol1966]

Peterman left after Dobbs locked up the job. He wasn’t playing here.
Whatever offense they threw out there...Dobbs was better.
Remember Pat Mahomes, Dwayne Haskins/Justin Fields? You’d lose that bet.

I remember Haskins/fields playing at Ohio st. I remember Burrow transferring because he didn’t. I remember Burrow doing more than both

 

[GVol1966]

Peterman was mediocre in college. He literally had one 300 yard game. He got lucky it was against Clemson and scout saw it.

He then became literally the worst NFL qb and maybe player ever.
And Worley? What NFL team is he on. Did he beat Clemson or anyone worth mentioning?
I wouldn't use Peterman as an I gotcha. lmao

 

[GVol1966]

I think the point you’re all missing, The Hiesman winners, the QB at UGA and Mizzou now were not in the eyes Of their coach the best QB , the one that gave their team the best chance to win when they were relegated to 2nd , 3rd team And like many more when those said coaches 1st choice failed or when the QB’s went somewhere else proved that coaches get it wrong sometimes.
Now in the cases of the above 2 now, the coaches realized very quickly that they could of been and gave the backup a shot.
In the other example it appears the coaches never had a clue and they had to transfer to get their opurtunity.
So the question is: is JG actually the best, or will CJP realize he could be wrong and eventually make a change, or does he have no clue and continue to play an inferior QB?
The answer: yet to be determined, but as of now I wouldn’t eliminate any of the possibilities

 

[butchna]

I remember Haskins/fields playing at Ohio st. I remember Burrow transferring because he didn’t. I remember Burrow doing more than both

Not that first season. Haskins had 70 % completion percentage for 4831 yards and 50 TD’s. Fields in his first season had 67% completion percentage for 3273 yards and 41 TD’s. Burrow’s first season starting netted a 58% completion percentage for 16 TD’s. The scouts projected him for the 6th round before the legend season. Comparing 1st seasons he’s a distant third.

It’s Heisman...quit fighting your spellcheck.

I think that the answer was determined last year...both Maurer and Shroudt had opportunities, and neither did enough to take the job.

Please don’t think I’m saying that JG has been great! I’m as frustrated as the next person. I just believe that he’s the best we got right now.

 

[jarnol32]

Remember that time Jones finally had no choice but to put Dobbs in due to Worleys injury? Or the time Dooley benched Simms for Tyler Bray? Or when Fulmer finally had seen enough of Matthews and Suggs?

Those all turned out pretty well. Hopefully we add the time Pruitt benched Guarantano for Maurer to this list sooner rather than later.

 

[PandamoniumReigns]

Successful? No. Only one 300 yard passing game in college. Luckily for him it was vs the right team.


Played in the NFL? Yes and very poorly. Historically bad.

Stupid post. You just destroyed every single bit of defense of JG you think you had. Your boy wonder JG has exactly three games of more than 300 yards. Not exactly successful, like your assessment of Peterman. JG has also played in 2 more games than Peterman ever did, and we still have the rest of the season to go. JG has 36 TDs for his career so far. Peterman had 47 tds in his career, in far less snaps and games. Advantage Peterman. Peterman has multiple games of 3+ TDs in a single game. JG averages less than 2 per game. In fact, JG has thrown 3 TDs only once in a game, against the mighty powerhouse of Chattanooga. Advantage Peterman.

So if Peterman wasn't a successful college QB as you stated, what does that make JG?

Nicely done K-Town. That was easy

 

[PandamoniumReigns]

In the SEC. He still had more BEFORE his SR year than Peterman his whole career and playing most in the trash ACC.

Peterman's was against a perennial National Title contender with a SEC caliber defense. He tossed 5 TDs in that one game. It would take your Boy Crush JG about 4 games to get 5 td passes.

Keep trolling.

I’m pretty sure that won’t happen. I agree with @LittleVol . The consequences of putting Maurer in could be losing Bailey. UT was never going to keep both anyway. A lot of people don’t want to admit that Maurer moved the offense better last year but he did well enough in games he was prepared to play in that Pruitt couldn’t justify bringing JG back without reason. Maurers “injury” provided that open door. If that were to happen this year I doubt Maurer has another freak accident that sets him back and reopens the door for JG or anyone else. UT would probably lose Salter as well. I think little vol is on to something. If Maurer takes the job Bailey, JG and possibly Salter are gone.

[volmanNC]

JG is being talked about for heisman!!

Ooops, sorry more fake news.

JG, he is man.

 

[1TheCoach1]

In the same two year span, Dobbs had 5,237 passing yards and 42 passing TDs, 1502 rushing yards and 23 rushing TD’s...and won more games. That’s why Peterman wasn’t here...somebody better had the job.

Not sure that has anything to do with Peterman replacing Worley and the OP telling us how horrible Peterman turned out?
You do make a valid point though. Changing QBs is actually not a bad idea.

Peterman didn’t replace Worley...Dobbs did. Peterman wasn’t good at football in Knoxville...Dobbs was.
