Pruitt on Vols' Guarantano: 'He's our quarterback'

 

[TennesseeTarheel]

Until he isn't.

 

[jpope9]

all the people screaming about Bailey not practicing and being ready, didnt Georgia's 2 star walk on QB just have a couple of weeks practicing with the 1's?

 

[HollowaytoSeivers]

Well, there you go...

 

[OldVolMan]

Kentucky is dancing in the streets!!

 

['Boro-vol]

The question is...which of the coaches does JG have incriminating pictures of?

 

[AllVols]

 

[Proud Army Wife]

Of course he is. He'll be the QB next year too. Whoever starts after he's gone is screwed. They haven't and won't get the game experience they need. Defensive minded coaches have got to stop relying on game-manager style qb's. It just won't work in the SEC in the long run.

Isn’t he also a former junior college starter? It’s not the same.

 

[USAFgolferVol]

That Pruitt came out and made this statement has eroded any renewed confidence I had in him. Other teams get QBs ready with the same amount of practice. Why can't UT?

 

[whodeycin85]

I wish we would stop trying to be Alabama. And be UT......

 

[Cartervol]

Right. You can play your way out of the starting role like he did last year. Played so bad Pruitt was forced to yank him.

We need a "game changer QB," not a "game manager QB!"

Walked-on at UGA...left to go to Juco...came back.

He's been in the system before. Bailey hasn't been in any system beyond the high school level at all. Huge leap, can't compare the two situations.

But for the second time in two days I've heard it said that HB isn't what we think he is. He's closer to the level of the other three on the roster than he is the qb savior we expect. TIFWIW.

Bama and UGA are coasting with their game managers because they are loaded with talent at every other position but they lose in the big games to teams like Clemson and LSU who had dynamic qb's.

He's a 5th year senior. He better not f'ing be back next year

Why did JG not get pulled in the 2nd half? When the outcome was apparent why did Pruitt not put the backups in to get a little experience ?

Why wouldn't he be back? Does he have something better to do?

 

[Proud Army Wife]

Well evidently he still has eligibility due to covid. He's been hell-bent on playing and "proving himself". If the coaches are going to continue to march him out onto the field, why wouldn't he?

From whom have you heard that? BTW, JT Shrout threw the best deep ball of any QB last season

 

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

He has the opportunity because no one loses eligibility this year.

That isn't good news if true. I don't think anyone other than a mobile QB could help this team this year.. Probably best he doesn't see the field this year.
