He has good form after he throws a TD getting down on 1 knee and shooting a invisible Bow and arrow. Does a good job with the mechanics on this must practice it a lot.

Close your eyes and picture this in the next Fingers, practice video.😂 The video starts and we see the linemen going through some blocking drills, the LBs getting in some tackling drills, Pruitt roaming the field, barking orders, then the camera pans over to Weinke and the QB group, practicing their invisible bow and arrow shooting, on one knee, form!😂
GBO!!

I think it's between his ears that's the problem.

He reminds me of Crompton before Kiffin and chaney got him settled down.

He was never “settled down”. Crompton could not go thru his progressions so either kiffin and Chaney drew up a can’t miss play or put multiple options on the same side of the field so he could see them all without having to see the entire field. This made him look much better than he actually was but drastically limited the amount of field our offense could use.

That's what I was alluding to without having to go into much detail. At least Crompton could roll and be successful with a 1/3 of the field to deal with.

There's been more than one game going back to last season where, after watching the film later, it looks like he was tipping some things to the defense with the way he aligned his feet and body prior to the snap.

in 2 games, (UGA, UK), our opponents discovered that...........if it's gonna be a QB sneak he extends his left leg way back further than he normally does under center. He keeps his hands down and a split second before the ball is snapped he raises his hands to receive the snap and defenses key in on this. There's at least one more "tell" and the bad thing is coach pruitt should have picked up on this long ago and corrected it.

Over time he's gotten afraid to make a mistake....When he makes one he's usually done.

Yes he's usually done.... However when that mistake comes the team and game are usually done. The team knows that he cannot in most games preform well enough to "bring us back". The line is too fine in most games between us and the other guys for us to make mistakes. The other team plays with the mindset "JG gonna make a mistake" the we got'um. Playing with this mindset, they are nearly always going to play with more enthusiasm than us.

Its awful, i can often predict whether its a run or pass play before the snap by reading his stance/body language. And he doesn't even attempt to hide his 3rd or 4th and short rushes. So predictable all the way around. He looks like a robot after a hand off as if he is trying to sell the fake. I could keep beating the horse but......

It definitely seems like a defensive mastermind like our HC would see it. But so should our OC and Heisman winning QB coach, our national championship winning passing game coordinator...

Makes you wonder if they watch game film at all or just obsess over practice.

Didn't he spend his offseason working on his foot work.???

He spent his off season working out at his home in Georgia. I don't know if he had receivers at his disposal or not. I can't even imagine that this would be a productive use of his time. It just seems like no one is on top of things if that is the case.

What they found was isolating him to one side of the field, rolling him out to one side simplifying his options, quickening his decisions, helped that he could throw on the run, or plant and throw quickly. JG doesn't roll out well, or throw well moving, and his decisions are still slow. They've tried doing the one thing that improves him, very quick offense, give him little time to think, just react. However, if the pass fails, it's a short break for the defense. They've created a trap for themselves and don't know how, or have the cojones, to get out of it. Speed up the QB or rest the defense.

I happened to see video of the first interception against Kentucky again and while I agree that is a difficult throw under any circumstances - he seemed to turn in that direction - stare there for what seemed like 5 seconds and then finally release the ball. The db didn't barely interecept it - he was in full stride breaking toward the end zone already when the ball finally arrived. His delivery is long and slow to begin with and he apparently struggles with his progressions. He did play better last season coming off the bench - he seemed a little more relaxed. What people don't see or realize is that his problems in the passing game carry over and impact the running game and even the defense. I have seen him checkoff a small handfull of times and it always seems for show - and it never results in a good play. I just don't think he gets it. Even when everything is clicking and he doesn't have any turnovers, we only can generate 14 - 24 points, no sustained drives, he has bogged down the whole offense imho. Now can any of the young guys do better ? Hopefully, we will see.

I think that this is just another sign that - he just doesn't get it. Kids need to have fun and enjoy playing, but I don't think it makes sense to do that when you are down by 20 points.

Fortunately, or unfortunately depending upon your perspective - he throws a nice long pass or jump ball. In all candor, that is how we beat Auburn and won a few other games; but without that, he would have been replaced a long time ago. He can not consistently hit any timing patterns and or go through his progressions. he can't maintain and lead drives - he is even worse on third downs and in the red zone. He has the worst completion percentage on passes over 10 yards - and so on and so on. What I don't understand is how no one can see that over there.

Ya know my biggest issue is the staring down of receivers. He does it in practice. He does it in games. He is the most predictable QB in the SEC, if not NCAA.

This is the kind of stuff you accept if you're talking about a rising RS Soph... not a rising RS Sr. If his "footwork" is not good now... it won't get there during a season.

Have the Guarantanos moved to Georgia?

JG spent part of the off-season training with a supposed QB guru, like a lot of college quarterbacks. It gave him a chance to throw to some of the top receivers from other teams and get some intensive training. It's my understanding that he has done that during every off-season.

Yes the G's did move to Ga. much like most of the Yankees I know who have fled South - they live not too far from Athens. I know he worked out at home some, 2019 I know he worked with one guru, not sure about this off season. I did hear him interviewed where he said he worked out at the home in Ga. Back when I was in school - the qb's and receivers typically spent the entire summer on campus, taking classes and working on things. Maybe that is a thing of the past, maybe COVID prevented anything like that, but for some reason I am getting the impression that - they were all working on their own this summer. I would think that was not the case at places like Alabama but who knows ? Maybe someone is on top of things over on the hill. I did shudder to learn that the defensive line coach was never interviewed which seems a little strange even if you did know him.
