I mean team practices overall, every team has been limited this year. It's not just our qb situation, people are using that excuse as to why we suck at any position. Nobody had a spring game/practice. Tons of teams I saw had players miss practice because of the virus, still cancelling games right now. That said, I bet those teams don't come out Saturday and look like they've never pkayed football. Florida missed this week, I doubt their qb magically sucks next week. I'm sincerely not trying to be smart, I legit don't understand how it just effects us. Maybe we missed 3 times as much as anybody else, I just don't get it. It seens to me the virus is just our "out", when the real problem is coaching and our qb.

Lulz, while I was reading this I forgot it was you and thought it was Windy. Seriously, it's "sounds" just like her.

We have had some Freshman show out. And everyone knew Tennessee needed all the practice and strength and conditioning it could get 2020 class got us to 85 players finally they needed the strength conditioning and food and practices.

I guess it's just hard for me to believe Pruitt when what you said is true. Other freshman are doing good, and they've been through the sane protocol as the rest of the team. So why can't the freshman qb give us sone hope? I'm just admittedly negative, but it's justified because we suck. I'm tired of seeing a 5th year senior who couldn't start for our local HS being touted as "our best chance to win".

What about the other teams, who had the same scenario, who aren't looking as bad as us? Heck, Lsu played 2 freshman last night that looked like rock stars. I don't get why anybody else can do it, except us. Everybody had limited practice, yet it only effects us? Not being smart, I'm just confused at this argument.

Did jaylen Hyatt not look like a rock star?

I bet Chaney would love to have Maurer running his offense he is fast.

The only game we lost that we shouldn't have was Kentucky. They are a good team that that many turnovers would kill most any team. Look closely at the Alabama game and you will see that a lot of the trouble spots were cleaned up. Alabama has an offense that made Georgia's defense look like they suck! That's probably the best defense in all of college football.
Just be patient and give them time. The Kentucky game was also in a horrible place on our schedule.

That's how I honestly feel. Just look at yesterday, Maurer comes in late, and not once given a chance to throw the ball. Hard to trust a coach saying someone isn't ready when his best chance at winning is getting us blowed out game after game. Again, I'm just in a funk, tired of not even being competitive against anybody. There's 5 games left, if we get blowed out at Arkansas, abd he still sticks with JG, something needs changed.

Fair point, but again, we'll see how this goes vs Arkansas. If we get blowed out, no more excuses for Pruitt imo.

I guess I’m softening up. Definitely in the minority around here. Between lack of practices, HB having to quarantine during some of the few practices they had, and Mauer fighting injuries for most the preseason until now, I can relate to no one else has been able to be prepared to play, yet still knowing JG sucks. I’m disappointed, but not ready to bash JP just yet, and especially not ready to consider his tenure a failure or call for his head. I’ve been early on the fire coach (insert whatever coach here) wagon since Fulmer. I was on here still wanting him fired after backing into the SECCG in 07.

Oh well. Likely only getting two responses to this:
1. tldr/stfu/gtfo
2. Calling me crazy and further complaining about the situation.

The good news, I probably won’t respond to either type of response. I feels how I feels about this.

I'm with you.

Shrout is awful and HB hadn’t even touched the system until recently. This isn’t hard Joe

Then that falls back to coaching. If Pruitt knew Shrout or Maurer wasn't gonna be a capable qb to take over, then he should've brought in a transfer who was. Wait, he did, and the guy left. Probably because he saw that no matter what, JG was the guy. I'm sorry, he's not good, and the coaches should have done something, but they didn't. Once again, Tennessee is paying someone a ridiculous amount of money for us tp get embarrassed week after week. I honestly hope you, bigO, and anybody else can rub it in my face in 2 weeks, and mock me for these comments. Most likely, we'll get blowed out again, and we'll be back to these same conversations. I hope you guys are right, and I'm wrong, and I mean it.
