Was mentioned on the podcast that JG May transfer if they move on to the freshman. I wouldn’t be surprised if JG was named the starter next week and bring in the other guys. At minimum, you don’t want JG transferring NOW and shutting it down taking a redshirt year and leaving the team. The other fallout is if one of the freshmen ball out with a stronghold, the other QB will transfer as well.

Keep JG involved, I can see him transferring after the season which is a much better situation than doing it now. I’d say bringing in a 2nd QB in this class seems wise as well, just the way QBs are going/leaving right now.

How would you try to keep all 3, and all 3 pacified?

JG already took his redshirt in his 1st season.

I think it's unlikely that JG leaves mid-season anyway. He may, indeed, end up transferring at the end of the year. If he does, he might go somewhere like UTEP with Mike Canales. Feel like JG did better with Canales because JG is pretty solid on the QB fundamental stuff; the things he needs to work on are leadership and communication. Those are tougher to teach but I think Canales was very good with that.

I'm curious if JG could work out as a WR.

He's already redshirted, and would be immediately eligible next year whether plays past game four or not... so there is no real urgency for him to leave right now like there was for some of the others.

ah, my bad. Do you think he sticks after the year?

Too early to tell, imo. If he had to decide now, I'd bet he leaves. But it is a long season. Crompton probably would have left after his first few games with Chaney if given the opportunity. But by the end of the season, he was playing really good ball and probably would have loved to have come back for another season if he had been eligible.

Speaking of which, Jennngs took reps at QB, with his talent, using him in a wildcat is intriguing. Imagine he could do some damage.

I've been saying all year they need to get Jennings more involved in this way. Whether he could be a starting QB is irrelevant; he's good enough to play a series or two; or to run the Wildcat and be a legitimate threat to pass. He's a nightmare for defenses to prepare for.

He's solid on fundamental mechanical stuff (footwork, release, etc.). He doesn't know the first thing about how to read a defense though. He seemingly plays the position like an 8-year-old plays Madden. Decides who he's throwing the ball to before the ball is snapped, and once that receiver appears open, throw it (which means the throw is almost always late). If they don't get open, throw it anyway or go to your check down.

No issues if JGs transfer now or at end of season. If he leaves now that leaves 2x scholarship QBs on roster and JJ if the crap really did hit the fan.

Wait...the crap hasn’t hit the fan yet? We might have to start vacating wins from prior years if it gets worse than this. There is no further down to go.

Man, that would make a certain defective branch of this site so happy, they would act like sunshine pumpers.

May be best for him. A fresh start may be what he needs

I was inferring to if JG transferred now and both QBs went down with injury the we would be forced to use JJ similar to what Ky did in 2010.

Yeah, but that's exactly my point. Most of the stuff QB coaches are teaching are the stuff that JG is already very good at. It's the more intangible stuff that's difficult to teach that he's struggling with. His speed in reading defenses is part of that.

For most QBs it either clicks or it doesn't at some point. And almost all of them are "slow" when they start out in college.

I really want him to succeed desperately. He's about as good as a kid as you'll ever see here. But just doesn't feel like the mental part of the game is ever going to click for him.

I would play him at QB the rest of the season - though would he be ok with that ? Since his NFL calling will be WR

It just seems you never see much creativity out of the wildcat. It’s always snap the ball and run to the wide side of the field. As soon as the defense sees it they all crash for the ball. Maybe if occasionally they would attempt a pass as you suggested, or hand off to a reverse, or anything except just get it and run.

Good possibility 2 QBs leave before next yr. that’s why Tenn really needs a 2nd QB in this class.

Being able to make a basic pre-snap read is pretty fundamental at the SEC level though, and he can't do it.

The thing that sucks for JG is that I wonder if his growth/progression are permanently stunted because of his experience at Tennessee. We know he didn't get great coaching under the Butch regime, and since Butch left he's seen 2 more OCs. There's little doubt Chaney knows what he's doing, but remember he said he was "throwing everything" at JG this offseason. The dude just has to be totally overwhelmed by his time here; he's seen 4 different offensive styles with different verbiages, etc. Chaney in particular is probably asking him to do some advanced (for him) things.

He's got to play better, but it also is little wonder why he plays like he has no idea what he's doing. He can't be a leader, because he doesn't know what he's doing himself.

Yeah, that's why I think Jennings would potentially be super-effective in the Wildcat. He's a legit QB. If our QB can play WR (as Dobbs did once or twice), even better.

Theoretically, JG or Maurer could be used very effectively in a Wildcat package with Jennings. Defenses wouldn't even see it coming until the ball was snapped.

Who cares if he transfers? You don't pacify a QB that has been here 4 years and has a 7-17 record as a starter.
