Last year, the Tennessee Titans through the first 6 games of the season couldn't block, run, pass, or do literally anything else on offense... The Titans couldn't even run the ball consistently to start the year last year with Derrick Henry!!! That is until they replaced their trash QB... Mariota came out blazing against the Browns in the first game of the year last year throwing 3 TDs with no picks... But over his last 5 (FIVE!) games in a Titans uniform as a starting QB, Mariota threw 4 TDs and 2 INTs in 5 (FIVE!) games... Everyone just assumed "Well, the Titans were even less average than we thought they were..." But Vrabel decided to bench Mariota for good, and then everyone realized "Oh, Mariota is literally just a trash QB..." His QB rating was 92.3 on the season, and he had his defenders saying "The coaching staff isn't developing him properly, and the team around him isn't that good..." But it was literally ALL on him...
Same is true with Guantanamo... He is literal trash... And HE makes the entire team look worse... This is not a case of "Well, the team is actually worse than we all thought it was..." No, that's not true at all... The offensive line is literally as good as we think it is... Eric Gray is as good as we think he is... Josh Palmer is as good as we think he is... JG holds them ALL back...
This Vols team is a nice sports car with a high mileage, low compression, leaky engine under the hood... Replace that bad engine, and you'll have something nice... Until then, we're going to continue to get throttled by teams like Kentucky...
