What a throw by Maurer https://t.co/2J4XAJfofU

Posting this everywhere today. A reminder that with a decent QB, the Vols are explosive and fun to watch...

We also had better passes vs UGA this year where the wr did not have slow down and the d was actually respecting the pass.


So I guess those passes were a reminder too.

Maurer absent the concussion likely would have finished the year as starter. After the UGA game, Pruitt acted like it was obvious that Maurer was the new starter.

Shrout got yanked last year and last week because he still hasn't mastered the plays. In addition to making a bad read and throwing into coverage... Pruitt said he also forgot to send one of the guys in motion which contributed to the pick.

I like his arm but he seems to be way behind in knowledge of the O.

I agree barring the hit at the end of the GA game Maurer would have been the starter and JG would no longer be on the roster.

Our QB problem is not any of our QB's fault. It is the poor excuse for a QB coach we have. Two of our back ups have been in the system at least two years. If we don't have a next man up by now, it falls squarely on the the QB coach.

I think you meant the fall on his head. It seems he could have physically returned in the UGA game but it had already begun to get out of hand. Outside of the two terrible decisions vs MSU... he was moving the team and hitting open receivers. Then he had that awkward flip.

I see your point and most of the time its true but you can only get out what a kid gives,
Do I think Jarrett has all the tools to have success yes do I think hes mentally weak yes.

First possession of the second half proved that. Tennessee got caught up in the game and got intimidated.

I'll be willing to consider that argument when Weinke has someone else to work with. JG had problems with processing information too slow and being unable to anticipate throws long before Weinke showed up. Pruitt made the decision to go with JG in January '19... and force fed him to Chaney and Weinke. It was their job to try to get him to play well. That could only deprive them of opportunities to focus on the others.

JG threw one nice pass. Undefendable pass to Palmer for a TD.

With that said, this Maurer pass was more beautiful.

Regardless of who is QB, they're probably going to get hurt this weekend unless that o line gels immediately.

This is the kind of lie you repeat... that shows nothing but blind hatred. He didn't slow down. He barely had to adjust.

Maurer beautifully moved away from back side pressure and delivered an absolute strike.

You can actually throw the TD pass to Palmer in the first game in there too. Those were great passes. JG's errors have gotten him into trouble with Pruitt. But that's not why he holds the O back. It isn't the things he "does" but his limitations that hurt the team. He doesn't do nearly enough of those kinds of plays... and what he CANNOT do gives opposing D's a better chance to limit or prevent what he can do. That's why he had no second half success vs UGA and no success vs UK.

Lip service by the head coach
Click to expand...

Dangerous lip service if true. HT's comments seemed to hint at some division on the team over the QB. It was troubling Saturday when after one of the picks the sideline reporter said that only one person tried to encourage JG. Otherwise he just sat alone. Not good. His expressions and body language were bad too.

If he were the guy the team believed in then they would have rallied around him.

I think at this point the competition better be credible or Pruitt will lose this team.

I agree...in part. The problem is so pronounced that the whole chain of command (QB coach, OC, and Head Coach) share the blame! They knew what they’ve had for 2 years, or more. It is incumbent on the whole offensive staff to recruit and train said recruits to be ready ASAP. To not have your most important position on the field ready...and I mean ready all the way to 3 deep...is pitiful. What’s more, we don’t even have the 1st string ready. SMH!

What “comments”? Do you mean the Instagram pic?

Several QBs Get Reps in Practice

This is interesting. Tough to know how much to read into a 247 article, but it almost sounds like the coaches want to try out Maurer again. The key phrase being "who will be healthy enough". That really can only refer to Maurer, as JG, Shrout, and Bailey are not injured. Could be reading too much into it, but would not surprise me; he would've likely been QB2 behind JG if not for injuries. In any case, sounds like whether or not JG starts, we'll see at least 1 other QB out there; just a question of who that will be.

Would you play him if he is injured? I would not.

You rally around guys in practice. When you’re in a game though and a player isn’t playing up to the team’s expectations, you call him out and tell him to get his sh*t together.

Erick Dickerson on Weinke: “Show me the proof. Show me your history. What history do you have working with quarterbacks, developing quarterbacks? Then I can believe. And I just believe that they don’t have the right coaches in place for him, and that’s what it comes down to.” Look at Goff's stats with Weinke and without him. Its fair to criticize Weinke.
