I respectfully disagree.
He’s got some talent but I don’t think he’s an SEC level QB.
He has the traits to be a good QB at another school, just not here.
Hill not the answer as starter. Bailey answer until we find next answer.I think
1. JG
2. Maurer
3. Hill
4. Shrout
RS: Bailey, Holliday
I think Bailey redshirts unless he comes in and just completely separated himself. With that awesome rule, we can still get him in some cupcakes/blowouts.
My dark horse is Kasim Hill. He was a 4-star who had injuries in his two years on the field. His stats weren't impressive but he was a FR& RS FR playing for Maryland.
What traits do you think are missing?I respectfully disagree.

If he rises about Maurer and Shrout then that's true.No way Bailey can start without having a spring camp. Peyton would not have done that except for an emergency. We are not in emergency mode.
Best Bailey could do is take the starting job away from JG about 6 or 7th game.
Pruitt must be the dumbest coach in the country, to think, he continues to run a guy who has maxed out, a QB who can't make quick decisions and can't lead receivers open and isn't going to get any better when all the while he's got 2 or 3 guys sitting on the bench capable of doing just that. Why would Pruitt continue to play him and why hasn't Pruitt gotten rid of him? Why has Pruitt when in tough situations where we've needed good QB play in order to win, why does he continue to go to JG when we've got 2-3 others just as capable as you say? You must think Pruitt is an idiot.If he rises about Maurer and Shrout then that's true.
A lot of the debates around here are rhetorical. We pretty much know what we have in JG. Some hold out hope that he can take a massive leap forward. A few think he is good enough as is. But most of us understand he's a 2nd tier QB that appears to have topped out.
We don't know what we have with the rest. We see talent. But we can't really tell if or when it will transition to the field... or who will ultimately become the best. I think we have three guys with all the physical tools you need to become an outstanding SEC QB.
I believe we are in emergency mode at Qb if the goal is to match or exceed last year’s win total.No way Bailey can start without having a spring camp. Peyton would not have done that except for an emergency. We are not in emergency mode.

No. But your arguments and sophomoric attempts at evasion are pretty stupid.Pruitt must be the dumbest coach in the country, to think, he continues to run a guy who has maxed out, a QB who can't make quick decisions and can't lead receivers open and isn't going to get any better when all the while he's got 2 or 3 guys sitting on the bench capable of doing just that.
Well, that's even more stupid.Why would Pruitt continue to play him and why hasn't Pruitt gotten rid of him? Why has Pruitt when in tough situations where we've needed good QB play in order to win, why does he continue to go to JG when we've got 2-3 others just as capable as you say?

That is a very relevant point. As I've pointed out to a certain poster repeatedly, some guys are just more susceptible to concussions. We're all "made" different in various respects and some of those innate characteristics make us more or less prone to concussions. If what he experienced last year is a trend and not a fluke... then he doesn't have a football future anywhere.We all don't know about Maurer's health status with the concussion issues.
I've thought about this myself. I'm more so hoping that he was just unlucky last season. Its very possible he only got hurt in a wrong place wrong time kind of thing, as opposed to he just gets hurt easy. Only time will tell, tho.That is a very relevant point.

Smokin Vol is right. if you believe that you must be smoking some strong stuff.Maurer is best QB on roster right now that we have seen. If kid could have stayed healthy he would have been entrenched as no. 1 without debate.
There is potential at qb in all of the backups. The problem is that they have not produced on the field when given the chance.
I think Pruitt has done the right thing. Keep JG in until more consistency is shown by the others. That is a logical approach that has resulted in wins.
Thank you!You can't give the majority of the 1st team practice reps to JG, and zero trash time for the freshman backup QB, and then start the freshman backup QB and not expect there to be issues and growing pains.
Pruitt's mistake was not having an actual QB competition in spring of 2019, and instead anointing JG starter, and relegating the development of the rest of the QBs to the backburner; the team paid dearly for that mistake.
