Bailey MUST start against Kentucky

We know why you don’t coach too.

Ga clearly the class of SEC defense. You better beat Ky and JG can do that.

Harrison Bailey is definitely the future. Wish that was now. All QBs from last year proved they aren’t the guy.
True Freshman Brian Maurer? RS Freshman JT Shrout?

but True Freshman Harrison Bailey definitely is??? You don't know that.

But Id i sure like to find out what he's capable of in the game. And Maurer.

But Pruitt won't let that happen

I know the other guys are NOT the guys. Harrison Bailey has to be. He’s the highly recruited QB everyone waited for and he’s all we have left. We knew we had this issue and Pruitt put all his eggs in the Harrison Bailey basket by not bringing in another QB or transfer. That tells me they think HB will be the guy.

I know Salter is another talented QB recruit coming in, but he’s not here yet.
 
UGA is just a great team and JG hasn't really done anything against great teams in his time at Tennessee.

He's had some great games against good teams, but not nothing against great teams.

I do not understand Pruitt not getting Maurer or Shrout or Bailey mop up time here.


Maybe he is afraid they will make jg look bad?
 
We need our other Qb’s to get real game experience. There is every reason to take out JG for the benefit of making the team better.

yes this game was out of reach for most of the 4th qtr. get your back up some game experience, it is obvious jg is gona be the starter, but he could get hurt, and no one with any snaps at all this year in a game, terrible, get them game experience.

Maybe but in 2020, it doesn’t matter. This is basically an “asterisk year”...... i do wish we’d just ride with Maurer / Shrout / Bailey and play for the future. JG has topped out in every way possible. I mentioned this last season. Pruitt can’t afford to roll into year 4 with Bailey being new or Maurer/Shrout not having serious playing time all because he rode with JG. Given the current situation with pandemic, I would never make a fire or job status decision on Pruitt this season. However, he will be on hot seat in year 4 if we go like 5-5/6-4 this year and we roll into 2021 with our starting QB in season opener not having serious playing time.

What’s most concerning is that none of the young QBs has shown enough to really challenge for the starting job.

I totally disagree with you on that, of course it is just our opinions, but in my opinion both Strout and Maurer both showed much more potential than jg. And I am saying potential, we need our other qb's playing time for the future.
 
UT should be able to beat UK even with JG, and we're not beating Bama with any QB on this roster. So leave JG in for now, and spend that time getting the next QB as ready as you can. Make the switch after the Bama game, and go from there. The O/U is back to 5.5, and UT isn't winning the SEC this year anyway, so use those last 5 games to set up for 2021.

Go Vols.

You should watch the bama ole miss game, just need a qb who is not afraid to throw the ball, just seen a play by ole miss jg would not have even thrown the ball, he would have taken a sack and this one went for a td, he threw the receiver open,

According to Basilio, our staff doesn't seem to be all that thrilled with any of the other QB's on the roster. Think he said they just don't like any of them. He questioned why you sign kids you don't like. Not sure how much stock I put into this as it is coming from Basilio, but it might explain why they keep turning to JG despite his performances.
 
Guarantano has done a lot for this program and probably hasnt had a fair shake with the sketchy o lines hes had and multiple coordinators but he isnt the future. Start bailey and let's roll. We will only fail long run with guarantano
 
I have to say, I've been the leader of the JG isn't THAT bad bandwagon. I don't even think today was entirely on him with the abysmal performance by our offensive line.

HOWEVER, I am finding it hard to get excited about the rest of the season if he is still our QB, which he almost certainly will be. We're getting murdered by good teams in YEAR 3. I'm sorry, but I just can't get excited about anything with him at QB anymore. Even if he gives us the best chance at 6-4, so what? What about 6-4 is exciting?

Time to play someone else and just see what the hell happens.
I apologized in a different thread for my constant defending of JG. You’re not alone here.
 
I say long run tongue in check because I'm afraid he will try to return next season. Put a stake in this NOW.
