Do we have a five way quarterback controversy brewing next year?

Agreed.

Tend to think the competitive spirits has him moving somewhere with a better shot to play though.

Shrout and Maurer ostensibly should improve with additional time in the system where it seems Guarantano has hit his ceiling.

Is jg elgible for any type of position on the coaching staff next year?? If he is I wouldn't be surprised to see him on the staff next year.

No, I don't think Pruitt told bailiey he would start, as I said in my post. This is just my opinion, I hope bailey comes to ut. I am basing my opinion on how well maurer and shrout have looked. If bailey is an intelligent man, he can see the potential these two have. And because some of his team mates are comitted to other schools. I know one to Lsu, I don't know if lsu qb is in his last year or not, but if he is lsu, and this will be tua's last year as well at bama. and one of baileys team mates are going to bama. I am all for bailey coming to ut and hope he does, I guess just afraid he won't, sounds too good to be true.

My understanding is that the competition at LSU would be as tough or tougher.

We have a lot of unknowns at quarterback next year and Mauerer is far from a guarantee at this point, possibly ever. He has played well in spurts but his health/durability is a major concern. Shrout has played well at times in games and has some mobility. Kasim Hill will his chance to win the job and he very well may win but I have my doubts that Pruitt will invest that much time and energy in a one year project. I could see JG staying at UT to finish his playing career here and if he does he will definitely be in the mix to start if Mauerer/Shrout cannot distance themselves from the others. I don't think Bailey will be much of a factor next year barring injury.

Given how common QB's hit the transfer portals these days, I would be surprised if we have 5 on the roster come next fall.

If at least 2 of the current QB's dont transfer next year i'd be shocked

I believe LSU has a 2020 commit at QB from Georgia already. I think Bailey sticks and waits his turn. He would be the guy entering his redshirt junior year. I know these young men like to play early but to me his situation is ideal at UT. But who really knows what his desires are?

This is my thought. JG is gone, and if Kasim Hill turns out to be decent (ie: better than the #3 spot) I'd suspect the loser of the Shrout/Maurer battle transfers. My guess is Shrout leaves based on how things have played out this year, and Bailey redshirts unless something crazy happens.

Hill will have 2 years here.

He's a RS Jr who has never been consistently effective... and mostly ineffective. The OC is forced to gameplan conservative and around JG's weaknesses whenever he plays. He wasn't good his first year. He wasn't much better his second year. When they put more on him to start this year he was flat out.

Richmond transferred to USC.... I expect JG will have options if he wants. Many many people see the OL as his problem the last 2 years. This year he has been bad - until he got benched and he’s really been better. One could say that he put too much pressure on himself early due to an eye on leaving for the draft and it affected him mentally. Once the draft was off the table, pressures gone and he’s been much better. If he continues to play pretty well this season he can go plenty of places. IMO

He’s not that good tbh. Hope you’re right though.

I never remember the specific posters when their predictions tank. Lot of derelict dads left their babies over Middleton. Now there’s talk over whether he should go pro.

In year 2 Maurer will also be that much better than what we see now as well.

Let's hope or he will be playing for Upper Northeastern Florida Community College.

Right now he is a 49% passer with 2 TDs and 5ints.

It will be interesting to see who emerges next year between JG, Bailey, and BM. If they are here.

Funny how you think stats help your opinions. Yes he’s a 50% passer as a freshman against the top colleges in the nation. He’s only THROWN for 2 tds. Get him out of there! But wait...... are those the only stats in which qbs are measured? I don’t think it is. Seems he crossed the goal line a coulple more times than the passing stats say he did. Let’s talk about 3rd down conversions or drives that get into the red zone. How about that?

We have never measured the qbs success by drives. We aren't going to start now.

The numbers don't lie. He did provide an initial spark when he came in. Hasn't been good since. If he can actually make it through a few games or even a game then we can see if he can recapture that first quarter magic.

I actually think that would be the best thing for him. I've been there. Sometimes a new place is the only thing that can really give a new start.

LOL... Really? Who put you in charge? Yes. QB's have ALWAYS been measured by drives, ability to lead an O, the ability to put points on the board, and ultimately by wins.

Your risk averse hero was so safe that he was ineffective at doing ALL of those things.

In the 3 games Maurer started, JG finished the game. Those games then make the best comparison of the two.

Maurer stats: 55% completion, 382 yards, 2 TD's, 4 INT's (including a handoff by Jennings), 16.6 yds/completion, and 9.1 yds/att.

JG stats: 50% completion, 175 yds, 1 TD, no INT's, 12.5 yds/completion, and 6.25 yds/att.

Common opponent. Same supporting cast. Same gameplan. That's as close of a comparison as you can get. What does it prove? EXACTLY what we've told you repeatedly. JG is hyper risk averse and it makes him ineffective even as the "stats" don't look bad.... until you look at yards and points.

One guy takes risks but produces yards. The other guy doesn't take risks... and produced much less.

My point isn't that Maurer is a sure thing or a finished product. His numbers don't prove that yet. He's a freshman though with unknown upside.

The point is that JG is a 4th year player. He is what he is... and he's at best comparable to a true freshman or in reality not as good.

Time to deliver the pass for all games this season.... BM- 2.10 seconds (would make him among the best in the SEC), Shrout- 2.35 seconds (still an excellent number), ..... JG- 2.85 seconds. (among the worst if not the worst in the SEC)
