JG starts the game out OK, and then he changes......The cheerleaders see it and scream in horror...Everything just goes upside down..

In answering a QB question, Pruitt has to say he’s considering other guys. He can’t say that JG has taken all the reps and he’ll start no matter what. However, I wouldn’t be surprised to see Pruitt start JG against Bama.

I am glad to hear Pruitt is working all 4 guys in practice now. That’s progress.

In fairness to Pruitt, Covid totally screwed us over. We needed the offseason more than most SEC teams with the influx of Freshman talent.

The result of Covid coupled with Maurer's injury is that JG became the starter by default.

No way Bailey could win the job, when he couldn't even get on the practice field. But that's also why I think Pruitt is running all these scrimmages and trying to get Bailey ready.

Maurer and Shrout neither one are SEC QBs. We know JG is not. The only one who may be the caliber of QB to play in the SEC is HB. We have a youngster coming in next year that is supposed to be a good dual QB so Maurer and Shrout have been recruited over twice now. This season the staff needs to go ahead get JG out of their system with a Bama start and when he screws the pooch pull him and let HB take it the rest of the year. But stop the Maurer nonsense, he ain't it and he ain't got it either.

I'm going to have to disagree about BM and maybe JT. There's not a big enough sample size. Look at Kyle Trask as just one example.

QB recruiting doesn't work like that. You recruit the best guy every year and don't worry about the feelings of the current crop. Heck I would argue that you do that every position. The difference is what expectations you set with players.

You know this for a fact? No you dont. Fact is none of the QBs have beaten JG out.

I just thought of something that you should take into consideration before assuming that they all have a fair opportunity to unseat JG.

Think back to the spring game last year. JG was the ONLY qb with the 1s. JTS and Maurer split series with the 2s, right? What makes you think it’s any different in practice?
The spring game is nothing but a glorified scrimmage for fans to see. So you seen it yourself and don’t even realize it.

On the quarterback position:

Pruitt: “The same way we manage the nose guard and the linebacker and the free safety and the kicker and everybody else. You practice during the week and the guys that earn the opportunity to play on Saturdays play.”

I feel like he still doesn’t get it. QB is not the same, especially if your QB sucks on game day. Hopefully, it’s just coach speak and we’ll see someone different.

I honestly think both Maurer and Bailey should get game reps, with Guaranturnover and Shrout on the bench. Pretty much in that order.

Maurer got two SEC offers, us and T A&M. Brian Maurer Recruit Interests
Click to expand...

He had some good offers. Most teams didn't really notice him till late in his Senior season and by that point, he was firmly committed here. Also worth noting that a lot of his G5 offers came from programs that have a track record of finding overlooked talent (App State, UCF, Troy), as well as one from Lane Kiffin at FAU.

Not that it matters. Kyle Trask had exactly 1 P5 offer (Florida) and Aaron Rodgers' best offer out of high school was Butte Community College. With QBs, plenty of 5-star busts and 2-star heroes.

Maurer was definitely underrated as a recruit, because the program he came from wasn't very good.

Something I find odd with 247. Thier last evaluation of Brian was 7/31/18....where did that fall in his senior season???
And was that before the elite 11 showing??
