What game did JG play in for you to know this?
You probably said Dormady was better than Dobbs too. As we see we don't need to proclaim players better or worse than others if they haven't proven it on the field.
JG could be 10x the player in game. He could be worse. He needs a chance to show which one it is with Dormady looking shaky.
False on pretty much every count. I saw two occasions where you could say he threw into coverage... and one of those is questionable. He made VERY few bad decisions and didn't lock onto receivers at all.
The last claim of inaccuracy... is debatable because of the drops and some apparent misreads by receivers.
He made mistakes but hardly worthy of the review you gave him.
Play action passes were really well executed. At this point the sky is the limit for Dormady. He has a beast named John Kelly and a go getter with speed like Callaway to help out. If the drops stop then this offense will be deadly.

His worst play IMO was when he threw into coverage on a crossing route by Jennings. In the replay, you could see someone with 5 yards deeper down field. Would have been an easy score.I watched that YouTube with every offensive snap of the game, he made 3 questionable throws all in the 1st half. We have no idea if it was him or the receiver either. For sure the wrs(and Ethan) weren't making plays first half. 2nd half qd was pretty crisp and accurate and poised. I really wonder which game some of these people watched.

To be honest I was telling my girlfriend during the first half they needed to take Jennings out for a bit as he just looked disinterested, just going thru the motions. Not that I wish injury but I too thought it got better once he went out.His worst play IMO was when he threw into coverage on a crossing route by Jennings.

Start at the 10:11 mark of the 2nd qtr then watch the replay looking into the top right corner.
I'm not saying Jennings injury was a good thing... but it did force Dormady to stop looking for him first on every play. He started going through his progressions better and trusting his reads.
Like I told you in another thread, I never said that about Dobbs so S_T_FU on that matter. Don't put words in my mouth
He didn't play a down. If he were as good as Dormady, he would have played. The coaches know more than you. That's 100% pure fact too. I trust the coaches to play the best players. That's how I know
I pray we're sandbagging on his read/option. Gave that look a few times in the game. Looked wide open to keep at least once. If he can keep a defense honest with 2 or 3 quality keeps a game, i like his potential.

The butthurt is very strong with a couple people on here.

No offense to QD, but if that was the best debut ever for a TN QB, we don't have much of a history of quarterbacks coming out of the gate particularly quick. QD deserves credit for bouncing back and playing well the second half after a rough start, but we still have questions at the QB spot. As Hubbs said this morning, Quentin didn't exactly go and seize total control of the qb position and slam the door on his competition with his JG with his play on Monday.
Stats don't always tell the whole story. Lets hope if he continues to start he makes way better decisions, stops staring wrs down, and sailing passes high.
You do realize that the GT flexbone offense is designed to lull secondaries to sleep. Once Paul Johnson sees the secondary looking in the backfield, he will call for a deep ball with an A back going down the seam or a wheel route with the A back going one way and the play going the other. They only threw nine passes total I believe. It is just that they were to wide open receivers the slipped past a CB that was looking to get a tackle on the next running play.
Sorry to go off topic but in almisr every thread there is reference to the losses vs SC and Vandy. Imo the injuries on D were a factor but I think we were also demoralized after that beatdown by Bama. That game ripped the spirit from the team..and it didn't return until the bowl game. Funny we played them better w Dooley at the helm. We must find a way to lower the vast gap between us and them. Its an automatic loss each season. Not only loss but beatdown. And its more than just them having more 5 stars than us. Anyway...just my off topic 2 cents.

He gets that chance in practice and has for 2 years. The coaches don't owe it to you to put him in a game situation so you can evaluate it on your tv for yourself. People seem to think the fans somehow are owed the opportunity to get a first hand peak so THEY can properly evaluate and provide legitimate input.
