JG for heisman trophy 2020!!!!!View attachment 272980
That was a one year turn around with a guy who was an absolute emotional basket case. JG to his tremendous credit has never seemed to buckle under the criticism. He apparently got threats too... which is so insane I struggle to believe anyone is that stupid.
Crompton's problems were the turmoil in the program and his own collapse the previous year. They weren't related to a physical/mental talent needed to play the position.
JG's issue seems to be an innate inability to process reads quickly and anticipate plays. It has been a problem his whole college career but has manifested itself in different ways. Previously the sacks and beatings he took were because he couldn't pull the trigger. His habit of giving up on plays and checking down related to him seeing things too late.
Chaney DID push him. That's why the INT's went up... and the TD's. But he really seems to have hit his ceiling.
Because JG is a 7-5 QB and you may be cool with that but the rest of us want better results. Whether you realize it or not JTD is an immediate upgrade to the QB room. He’s better than any QB on the roster not named Bailey. And he might be better than HB. Hope we get to find out.
Take him. Don't worry about hurt feelings now. Part of Pruitt's job is to find the best qb he can and win with him.
I don’t “draw any lines” but it “raised some flags”...so I commented. We lose some perspective on this “anonymous” platform and it’s fair play to point it out. Glad it brought you mirth you SOB...I hate you.JG is like a 7th year SR I think he can take being called an SOB by some anon message board poster
Some of y’all crack me up with where you draw the line. JG’s a chump. “Agreed.” JG’s a loser we can’t win more than 7 with him. “I concur good chap.” JG’s a chump loser SOB. “Well hold your horses there mate he may be troubled in the head and have no competence whatsoever as to how to throw a football, but by golly he’s no SOB I know personally that his mother is a nice lady of the homo sapien variety!”
Bring me Daniel’s so we can get passed that loser. I will pull back my fingernails if JG starts next year and wins us 8 games.
As for those potential transfers, the biggest name is quarterback J.T. Daniels. The former USC quarterback and the Vols have had conversations, and Tennessee is one of several schools that Daniels has spoken with along with LSU, Michigan and Oregon. Daniels and his family have not spoken about anything specific regarding schools or a timeline for a decision. Some believe that LSU and Tennessee are more likely possibilities than Michigan or Oregon. Returning to USC isn’t out of the question, either. Daniels could opt to wait to make a decision until later next month when the NCAA is expected to formally announce a one-time transfer rule.
I have been and am critical of JG's play/ability. But the reality is that he could still be the best option... or at least the lowest risk option. He began to manage the run game well late in the season. Management of the O is probably the first requirement though not something easy for us to see.Agree completely. Which is why I want a new QB under center Game One of this next season. Adding in his RS year, he's had four to figure it out. What did he do in that 4th year? He regressed as a starter and succeeded somewhat as as a back-up. It is not reasonable to expect him to do any better. JG is reasonably good for 1.5-2 quarters per game. Simply put, he thinks too much or too slow and cannot pull the trigger or read D's well enough to start at QB in the SEC. Nothing proved it more than how bad he stunk the field up after a month to prepare against IU. Enough already.
If we get the opportunity to sign JT - DO IT. Get a few OOC games under his belt including a tough OK game before the SEC starts. Getting a guy with his credentials coming from USC with Tee Martin as his past coach/recruiter and Velus Jones on the field seems like strong move to make. It probably means winning more games.
Is there any real data that proves any player is better than any player?
Thank you.Yes by using stats. Besides beating JG by roughly 500 yards, while attempting 100+ more passes, what stats give JTD the edge?
Completion %? Even.
AVG per attempt? JG
Passing yards? JT
TDs? JG
INTs? JG
Rating? JG
So by using actual stats, what justifications is there in saying JTD is a significant upgrade? If Pruitt wants him then I am all for it. But I just don’t see how anyone can definitively state JTD is that much better than JG.
But is there any data to prove Burrow is better?
Tee Martin coached this kid for a year. He has seen Tennessee current QBs for a year. There is a reason why we are trying to get him to transfer here. I don't care about 2018 stats from when he should have been a senior in High School.
Thank you.
We always want the injured players, and then they try to push that they are better without proof, they either go by stats or they just hate JG. I’m not a JG fan either, but he is better than JT. Sorry not sorry
