Brian Maurer may be gone?

[BAKOVOLFAN]

Maurer wasn’t at practice today reportedly and will not be back . Wish him the best , lots of natural talent. Hopefully he figures everything out.

 

[jakeaaal]

I hope he gets to play somewhere. Had undeveloped talent here.

 

[A.J.]

I hate to lose him, but I feel more comfortable that this staff at least gave him a fair shot at it. I wouldn’t feel that way with the last staff who I think did him a disservice.

Wish him luck, if true...hope he lands power 5 and we get to play him in the future

 

[onevol74]

Good luck to him. Thanks for being a Vol!!!!

Aren’t we jumping the gun here a bit?

Not really, he posted on his insta "they took my dream after just four days but it's ok because I'm a soldier #18out" but then later changed the caption. Let him go. He wasn't going to be the starter and that's been pretty clear over the past few years. Hopefully he can succeed somewhere else but there really isn't room for him if he's not starting and complaining about it.

 

[Firebirdparts]

So what? It's okay if we jump the gun. Well, maybe that assumes that "forum cred" isn't your whole life. Which might be a bold assumption.

We can blame Austin Price if we are wrong

 

[lukeneyland]

Probably for the best. He never seemed disciplined enough to be a SEC QB. I appreciate his effort I think he really cared

4 days into Fall practice and he is quitting, that is the temperance of his generation....

These boys need to learn that they are absolutely nothing like a soldier.

I'm happy he got out there for as long as he did, though I'm not surprised he's done at UT. He never had the accuracy that he would need to nail down the starter position, and at this point I hope he doesn't take any more knocks to the head.

 

[EconVol92]

If he is truly 4th on the depth chart I don’t blame him. He wants to play and who can say if his issues weren’t lack of coaching the last few years. Good luck to him if he is leaving.

Taking my ball and going home mentality.

He may have been told that there’s just no way he’s getting on the field

I don’t understand the 4 days part . He had film on him , he went through spring practice , summer workouts , film room time , and they’ve been watching him since they got here . Instead of “ they took my dream” maybe it should be “ I will work harder to accomplish my dream” . I get that he’s upset , but I just watched a great qb video again last night where he said “ they may have been more talented , but nobody out prepared me “ . I like the kid I always did , but it’s not a they thing , it’s a we thing .

 

[BigOrangeAl 1979]

No big loss really he threw alot of picks and made a ton of bad decisions. His best moment was the Georgia game two years ago and we still lost by 30.

 

[Brave Volunteer]

That tweet says it all.

"They took my dream away."

Right, because YOU had nothing to do with it did you BM. Good lord, do any of these kids take personal responsibility for anything anymore?

 

[VolInNorthCack]

Maybe he and Kellen Winslow Jr can hang out and talk about their experiences being soldiers.

I wonder if he'll serve in the same branch as Kellen Winslow Jr?

 

[bamawriter]

Can't blame a kid for wanting to play. There is only 1 QB on the field at any given time.

However, no one "took" his dream. He's not entitled to playing time.

Maybe, would be interested to see what actually transpired.
