I agree after reading that article! He’s a “savvy” footballer that has a “team first” approach. I think for every home run we shoot we will win 1 point at a time. I bet our first play vs Kentucky will be an ally oop down the left field.

Sounded funnier in your head? 😏

Wasn’t meant to be a joke. I think that article showed just how much JP knows about qbs and the game itself on the offensive side of the ball.

Admittedly don’t know sometimes...use of quotation marks confused me.

I was quoting the poster I was responding to. He called Pruitt a “footballer”.

He played QB at the college level and then switched to DB. You act like you found the Dead Sea Scrolls.

Dobbs was a very good QB but never truly a "great" passer. Bray was a great passer but a complete head case. Ainge was solid but somewhat limited talent wise... same with Clausen.

accurate.

Dobbs was good at managing the game and he did make us look better than our play calling, but he wasn't great. With Ainge, though, I think he's been our last great QB, and I would put him solidly above Clausen. Ainge played through some terrible and persistent injuries and still managed the game and was a great down field passer. His last season we did more short-passes, and of course in his last game he had one terrible pass to end to end the game, but overall he was excellent. I think without injuries and the issues associated with it, he'd have had a good NFL career. With Clausen, I will always remember him as being solid but average, except for the one game that counted the most - he chewed up A&M in the Cotton Bowl, and I will always appreciate him for that performance.

I don't even see HB as the next most reasonable option. Shrout was very green coming in but was praised for having an NFL caliber arm. Maurer was a 3* who played on a very bad team but performed well at the Elite 11 camp. Those guys aren't bums.

I wonder if Pruitt isn't just trying to assure that all three guys are there to compete in March. If he sticks one of them in the game even for mop up... that could lead to one or even two of them leaving. Not sure otherwise why you don't give you back up a few throws vs Mizzou and UGA at the end.

Your wrong, Casey Clausen was in a different league from the aforementioned players

Just have to disagree on that one. Very smart. I would love to have him now if for no other reason than his ability to quickly diagnose coverages. But he didn't have a great arm and had concrete feet.

Name a UT QB with a better Win loss record

PLEASE Dear Lord. Have our coaching staff take off the orange colored glasses. JG is now a history lesson, not our future.

I heard that too. At the time I was like wtf? But then I thought about it for a minute. And I think what he meant (being a former coach and able to translate coachspeak from time to time) was that you don't really gameplan for depth. You gameplan for the scheme they run and their packages. The players are all interchangeable to a coach when gameplanning. There are specific players you do have to scheme around, but you don't really do it for depth.

He should have said something to the effect of "We don't pay attention to their depth. They run the same defense no matter who is out there, we have to be able to execute no matter if it's their 1st team or their 4th team."

Thanks. That makes sense.

Not sure where all the consternation comes from ref JG, if UT had a better option available I’m pretty sure we would have seen it by now. Once the streak was broken it flipped immediately back to JG....what I saw was an OL full of 5 and 4 stars, mostly very experienced, that were dominated. When that happens, few QB’s give their best performance. The OL was ranked top 3 in SEC by most, top 1-2 by some. Not yet. OL should have at least held their own based upon pedigree, never happened.

The consternation is due to JG being a bad QB. Year 5 should look like year 2.

Interestingly, the freshman QB was the first player that Pruitt mentioned when discussing the Sunday scrimmage.
“You know, it was really good. I think we took like 49 snaps and Harrison took every one of them. For him, that was really good because, based on the way fall camp went, he didn’t get a lot of live action. We just didn’t have enough plays for him to get in there and get going.


But then there is this also

“Jarrett’s our quarterback. He gives us the best opportunity to have success,” the Tennessee coach said during his Monday press conference

Maybe he took every snap, however the outcome wasnt what was expected. So therefore JG is still the QB :(

Try looking at the cause of the turnovers.

He held on the ball too long.

Instead of just throwing the ball away to avoid taking a sack, he stands there like a statue waiting for the defender to tackle him.

The O-Line isn’t very good I admit, but he’s had plenty of time in the system to learn the basics. He can’t read a defense to save his life.
