Bailey looks composed but not ready for the moment just yet!

[BJSforVols]

Bailey looked good considering the situation except for not being aware of the clock and needing two scores. Was too worried about not throwing the interception and killed the clock for AR.

He looked to have potential though. Need to play him and let him grow with real life game time experience.

 

[deezvols]

Bailey hasn't had a legitimate chance to show what he can do. He's either handing it off constantly or way too far behind to do anything but throw for his life.

 

[CA_Vol]

If only they had had two weeks to prepare him for a new opportunity?

 

[stevenrich2003]

How many snaps has he had in practice?

My guess, very few.

This season is lost. Let him start the rest of the year and build on next season.

 

[BJSforVols]

True, but I don't think practice gets him ready for that moment. He'll learn from that game for sure though. He needs to be in the games and learning. That's our only hope for even trying to resurrect this program right now.

 

[BearCat204]

He's not ready because they are wasting time preparing JG to show them what he has for 4 years.......absolutely nothing.

 

[james_govols]

They should leave him in anyways.

They are too afraid to let JG pass the ball so why is JG still starting?

 

[VeeOhElEsYes]

Just roll with him for the rest of the season. He’s the guy for sure.

 

[I Love Lamp]

I am willing to watch him make mistakes and learn. JG is a 17th year senior who still makes freshman mistakes and is what he is.

Agree! That's what I'm saying as well. He's not ready but needs game experience to get ready. May take a small step backwards at times, but should take 2 steps forward soon.

 

[ButchPlz]

Just let him play and take his lumps.

 

[UTK]

Gotta roll with him the rest of the way. Nothing to lose now. 3-7 is the ceiling now

 

[MurphyVol]

Kid looks the part. Hopefully he'll have a good coach someday

Priutt’s best shot at survival is to roll with Bailey rest of the season and take the lumps and hope the entire offensive line returns with the free Covid year.

At this point I don’t see how you deal with a warming seat and roll out JG next week

BS

 

[BenGrimm]

Would have been nice to see him actually run the offense when there was still time to win. Instead he just hands off up the middle until asked to pass on 4th down. Stupid coaching.

 

[hooperwho]

Not just roll with him, but also cut him loose. Don't limit the play calling and put him in when the games not out of reach.

 

[JustinVol]

First interception, was a PI. The second, hell what do you expect no time, just had to force the try.

 

[AllVols]

This year is a waste, HB needs to start the rest of these games. Get him some experience, and ready for next year.

 

[BJSforVols]

BS

You didn't like anything you saw from Bailey?

 

[tennesseepride84]

That last drive you can see the potential. Tall in the pocket, fast enough to get out of bounds, solid throw up the seam to Johnson I believe it was. He just need to be on the field with some easy throws to get him going and let him take a few shots if he see it open, and let him grow from there.

 

[volmanNC]

I would use Harrison the rest of the way!

 

[JMSqb11]

This is best scenario for Pruitt’s long term chances. It would be ideal for entire offensive line to return all 5 starters with Bailey for continuity’s sake

 

[chattavol420]

It’s the way he’s managed. We ran 6 straight times when he entered the game. And then kept going with the check down on that last drive. We all gave JG crap for the safe check downs amd not challenging down the field. But Pruitt kept playing him amd kept telling the public part of the reason he likes him is the way he takes care of the ball. It’s now obvious...it’s the way they’re coached.

 

[ftsandersvol]

His body language conveyed more on-field confidence than any QB all season. He should be the guy the rest of the year. We are staring at 2-8 anyway.
