I was going off yardage. IIRC, his highest total for any year in HS was in the 300-400 range. He isn't slow. But nothing he has done at UT suggests he is a DT QB.That depends. He had 11 passing TDs and 6 rushing his last year of high school. That's a decent amount of rushing when compared to his passing.
Rice did it with things other than speed. And when you really look at it. A .2 difference over 40 yds is about 5'. There are lots of things a player can know or do to make up for that difference.There's a huge difference in 40 times and game speed. In fact game speed would be the go to attribute if they could find a way to measure it imo. The best example of this I can think of is Jerry Rice. I can't remember his 40 time out of college but I do remember it being closer to qb speed from his "A Football Life". But his game speed was another animal and only Bill Walsh seen it.
Maurer is in that group imo. At some point he obviusly ran a 4.79 at a major event. But there's a play on his highlights (I think just a few plays into the video) where he finds a crease from about 70 yds away. Now I've seen quite a few 40s ran in my time by many different athletes and that was NOT 4.79.
There was a long decline between the NC and Fulmer's firing. There was an even longer period between Majors' NC at Pitt and his firing at UT... which didn't seem to be altogether about W/L's.We fired an 8-3 Johnny Majors. Other than at Auburn, seen a NC winning coach canned at a P5 school in recent memory other than Fulmer? Just sayin'
So.... forever I have said that JG has the physical talent to be a very good QB. I have said his lack of production was NOT just because of the OL but because his reads, decisionmaking, et al.Continuing the drill I see, positioning yourself for when the season starts and plays out. No worries, prudent thing to do.
No reason to get all defensive like this, just made a simple, obvious observation. No big deal. Look forward to seeing your posts on JG once the season starts....if he plays well you’re ready, if you think he doesn’t, you’re set. Well played. You should take it as a compliment.So.... forever I have said that JG has the physical talent to be a very good QB.

And now you want to claim I'm "positioning"? Someone is... but it isn't me. I've said the same thing the whole time while you and others accused me of "hating" JG. Glad you're finally acknowledging that was untrue. I want him to be a great QB. Unlike you and others... I just won't pretend he has been.
Oh, I know... it isn't like you and several others haven't been on the attack for the last few months toward anyone who dared question the infallibility of JG.... In my particular case, it required you to be dishonest about my motives and "feelings" toward JG. I've said the same thing for months. You just realized it... but don't want to admit that you've never had reason to suggest I "hated" JG or wanted him to fail or any of that other non-sense.No reason to get all defensive like this, just made a simple, obvious observation.

That's OK with me. I have always loved the way he throws the ball. If he can put good reads and decision making with that... UT has a QB.
Dude, like I said, no reason to get all twisted and defensive, we get it. Relax.Oh, I know... it isn't like you and several others haven't been on the attack for the last few months toward anyone who dared question the infallibility of JG....

No big deal. You're set. You've covered your tracks on what you said to and about me. And you still have built in responses... If he plays well you can say he was great all along. If he plays poorly you can still blame everyone but him.
LOL... Coming from you? You've spazzed out for months now when someone was critical of JG... and pretty much whined that everything and everyone else sucked.Dude, like I said, no reason to get all twisted and defensive, we get it. Relax.
Whew. Got under your skin with such a simple observation....somebody feeling busted? Lol. Have a good weekend.LOL... Coming from you? You've spazzed out for months now when someone was critical of JG... and pretty much whined that everything and everyone else sucked.
You "get it"? That's good. Glad you admit you've been wrong... in your own "special" way.
Feelings got hurt, doing your best (feebly) to turn the tables, it ain’t working.I was thinking just the opposite. You've been whining for a long time about objective criticism of JG... then realized it was "hate" but fairness, That gave you a case of panic.
LOL. You WAY overestimate your schtick. I can guarantee you haven't approached hurting my feelings.Feelings got hurt, doing your best (feebly) to turn the tables, it ain’t working.
I would have thought you were above k-town style lying.Ftr, now it’s time to go back to bashing him, you have enough (2-3) posts you can point to in the future to prove you were “balanced”. Lol. Have a good one 18.

I agree 100%. I tell receivers every yr that speed is a good thing but getting open isn't about how fast you can run. It's about how fast you can stop.Speed is important, but overvalued. I’ll be happy to take a guy runs a 4.6 or 4.7 who is also quick . People seem to get the two confused. Larry Fitzgerald, Boldin, for us Meachem wasn’t a burner, but he was quick as hell turning a hitch into a 80 yard pass play.
Les Miles was a great example, Larry Coker was special but. it's fair. Every NCAA football coach is "under pressure" but Gene Stallings, really? Really? Really is where you lost credibility with me ... again.There was a long decline between the NC and Fulmer's firing. There was an even longer period between Majors' NC at Pitt and his firing at UT... which didn't seem to be altogether about W/L's.
Les Miles comes to mind. IIRC, there was pressure on Stallings due to the NCAA issues. Larry Coker was fired after winning a NC and with an .800 win %. Bobby Bowden quit under pressure. Mack Brown was under pressure when he left Texas.
