Could JT Shrout play in the last four games?

Wouldn't surprise me if he gets snaps in if Guarantano stays healthy, playing in mop up or maybe even a series or two the next 4 games. Only way Chryst plays the rest of the year is if JG gets injured. Coaches would like to get Shout a game speed look but in no way are interested in benching JG. Article also says a small number of fans.

I personally think that JG is more banged up than anyone letting on, but healthy enough to be functional...he air-mailed 3-4 passes last week that were very uncharacteristic. If we're able to get up early (which we've not done this year...ugh), I'd expect Chryst to get serious PT vs CLT, and don't expect Shrout to play because we're not going to have the luxury of mop up duty, other than CLT. Gotta keep Chryst sharp b/c of likelihood that JG needs relief over the next 3 SEC games. Just my opinion.

Late vs Charlotte? Why not?

Last 3 games? It would be an extremely good sign if he's snapping at all.

He needs a few snaps, he will be battling for #2 vs Mauer next Fall.

Barring injury, Maurer will redshirt next season.

I think he will get A FA contract at least. He has the classic over the top NFL delivery on his passes. Shaw thinks he has NFL potential. If he does have NFL potential powers that be will give him a shot. If not he will move on. Some QB's just do better in the NFL than college not saying he will but it does happen. Also he was top pro style QB coming out in 2013 or 14 and was 12 & 2 at Stanford not the SEC but a P5 conference.

Nowhere near enough arm strength. If Bo Wallace of Ole Miss couldn't make a roster because of arm strength there is no way Chryst can. Arm strength is the only reason he's not playing now I feel, that and JG is playing well.

He may, I just think that JG is scheduled to finish this thing out and Chryst can't help Pruitt any next year, a very important year for him. I believe he plays if JG goes down but think Shout will get the xtra reps from here on.

Would you really want a QB's first college experience be behind this sketchy offense? Couldn't that really warp his development? Is JG fully to blame for his errors of judgement, or, does an unreliable OL have something to do with how he processes the play? I'd say, unless the OL shows they can defend the rush at least 80% of the time, don't put the pink meat on the field. (well, unless he can scamper and throw better on the run).

Nate Peterman agrees

Bo Wallace was awful though and 100% a system QB. He also was a totally different guy than Keller. Keller is the son of a coach and nephew of a coach and always puts team first. Wallace was too worried about flipping his hair out of his eyes and getting on TV. Keller has a way better chance than Wallace.

Rest JG for Charlotte, Start KC, let JT prepare as number 2. Give him snaps in a game situation to give him something to think about over the winter plus the exposure to the atmosphere. The remaining 3 are between KC and JG.

If the #3 QB gets to play in these last four games it will be because UT is up by 4 td’s or more.

You want to warp a QB's perspective, let them develop behind Bama's line. First time they get hit at the big boy level may kill them.

Absolutely, it'll be the better of he and Stout or a 2020 recruit. Pruitt's after some big time guys in the 20 class so it's not hard to figure out our starting QB the next 5-6 years. 2019 an 20 will be JG, 2021 will be a competition between a newcomer, Stout and Maurer, 2022-24 could very well be the 2020 recruit. Somebody is going to get pinched out and it doubtful it'll be JG.

Just not true. Football coaches loved Wallace, maybe not so much off the field. Teammates loved him too because he would do whatever it took to win and could care less what his stats were as winning was the only stat that mattered to him. The only reason he didn't catch on was arm strength. There is a reason that every QB in the league has a big arm and Chryst doesn't have it or any where near the production. Very few backup QBs make a roster in the NFL. Shaw was coach speak and would never say anything bad about a player.

Class of 2021 means we’re talking about an unnamed kid we MAY land when Maurer is a redshirt sophomore. JG won’t be in that conversation unless they change eligibility rules.

How do you know who’s going to be on the roster in 2021...cept that JG won’t be?

He won't play this year unless JG and KC both get hurt, and even then they may play McBride over him. They want him to have more time in the weight room.

I've seen this "11-2" record thrown around a bit with KC, but you tend to have a better record when your backfield is comprised of Christian McCaffrey and Bryce Love. His passing stats during his time at Stanford are underwhelming.

Pretty simple really, it's called recruiting. Do you think coaches recruit the best QB prospect every year? Only 1 guy plays, it's very common for coaches to recruit back ups at the position, see McBride, Worley, Dormandy and Chryst for past reference. If CJP doesn't get a big time 2020 QB then the competition for starting QB will likely come down to Stout and Maurer, I just don't feel like either is the future guy. You must think Stout is the odd man out? If you think it's JG I'd like to know why?

He'd better gain some weight, JG will be pushing 230+ next year and will have earned the spot, especially if we can make and win a bowl game. If we finish 5-7 or 4-8 then Stout may play but I think we'll win 3 of 4, win the bowl game, finish 7-6 and return all 11 starters from an improving offense. Just can't see turning that over to a new qb.

How do you know JG will have earned the spot? This year against the tougher competition (Florida and Alabama) Chryst came in and made decisions and plays that got us points when Guarantano couldn't.

Do you comprehend basic reading? No one said JG will be there the 21 season. Do you follow recruiting, if not then start counting, 2021 season - Mauer RS Fr, Stout RS So, McBride RS Jr and whoever we sign in 2020 will be the 4 QBs on the roster. If McBride transfers he'll be replaced with a recruited backup. Our QB competition will be between said 4 guys and I'm betting that Pruitt recruits over both Stout and Mauer in 2020

Like I said if we finish 7-6 this year with JG and he continues to improve the way he has he will be our QB the next 2 seasons. If we finish 4-8 or 5-7 it may change things but not likely. Why would he not start if we finish up 7-6?
