JG is the starter against Bama (merged)

[VolInNW]

I'll say it for the 1000th time. JG - good kid. Tough. Determined. VFL. Very limited in ability to play QB in a fast paced P5 environment. This is NOT his fault. It's JP's for insisting on trotting him out there week after week after week when it is obvious the guy just doesn't have "it".

Agreed.

That's not even the best quote from the presser.

How about this bad boy?

Insanity

i question a lot of this too... but if you expected him to come out and announce a qb change before the bama game you're kidding yourself.

let bama think and plan for JG and we play someone else they haven't seen... would be a good move

That strategy certainly paid off!

 

[whodeycin85]

Wait so no one else gets reps in practice yet JG has to earn this spot in practice....

Done deal JG starting...cuz no one else get snaps

No words...I have no words....

"If it isn't working out, better to make the move now"???? I mean, I agree with that, but it only applies to assistant coaches and not to QBs? I mean...what??!?!

 

[LittleVol]

He can't possibly be this dumb. This has got to be some sort of bizarro, ef'd strategy to keep Salter in the fold.

Wait...didn't you get on me yesterday, quoting " he's smarter than you think he is "??

And now you yourself are saying basically what I said yesterday??

Salter has nothing to do with anything..

Wayyyyy less problem with this quote than the JG quote.

Jeremy Pruitt on why he made the move to get rid of Jimmy Brumbaugh now: "If it's not working out, it's better to do it right now." "It's something that I felt we needed to do and we did it."

Yeah, I read that and immediately thought, "Then why is JG still starting? Isn't it obvious that it's not working out? Isn't it better to do it (replace JG) right now? Don't you feel like that's something you need to do?"

I wish I had your optimism

I'm not predicting which option they will choose.

I will predict that making better decisions about the QB position starting now will define the length and success of Pruitt's tenure at UT.

Honestly, I feel sorry for the guy for inheriting an anomaly like JG. Pruitt is right. Generally speaking, you can believe what you see in practice. JG is an extreme case of the 5% rule.

 

['Boro-vol]

Somebody should give him the phone numbers of Butch Jones, and Derek Dooley. They could fill him in on what happens when the coach at UT loses the fanbase.

That's right...we make them a millionaire and give them a couple of years off to go fishing and think about it.

Read what I said again and don't be so sure about Salter....

 

[Volsfaninva917]

Honestly, he deserves to be fired at this point. I know it won't happen any time soon but he doesn't need to coach here

 

[Volnbeers]

Wayyyyy less problem with this quote than the JG quote.

It wouldn't make sense for Pruitt to announce a new starting QB for Saban to game plan around.

I don't necessarily have an issue with Pruitt's response re: JG. It's all just noise at this point.

This quote is just bizarre.

I don't think you throw HB to the wolves by starting him against Bama. You let JG take that beating on the chin as a last service to our team.

Split reps in practice between HB/JG this week and let HB take over in the second half against Bama's 4th string.

The team belongs to from the 2nd half of Bama going forward.

 

[joevol33]

The good news is I won’t have to watch this game as we will be at my kids’ swim meet watching the 500 free. For once, it will be a welcome reprieve

Ours has a swim meet with tge travel team this weekend, actually competing against one of the local colleges, more like a practice meet anyway. Next Saturday school meet! Good luck to yours!

Not the issue, he placed blame on everyone but JG in that press conference.

But see, here's what you're missing.

JG is the more experienced QB between he and Mac Jones .

Advantage- VOLS

 

[esarmstrong]

Pruitt didn't 100% commit to him starting this week....It was more like 98.75

Bro ... I get your sarcasm, but ... Where's The Blue Font?
