He's certainly frustrating sometimes but you hit the nail on the head, him diving into that pile with a broke hand was big. He also made a couple of drive saving 3rd down throws to keep the clock running. Didn't really matter though as that game was over once we went up 2 scores, Defense was dominating all night. We beat them the same way Ga beat Ky in the rain.JG's passing was way off against Vandy. A couple of good throws - the TD was one, but for the most part, the receivers were having to jump, or the ball was behind them. He still can't get that lateral throw anywhere close. He did a good job at the fumble recovery and a first down run. Not his better night, but that's JG.
6/17 for 120 yards and a TD after the INT? We won on our run game. JG played a horrid game through the air. Just because we win doesn’t mean he played well. He will not be our starter next season by game 4, and there’s a strong chance he won’t start at the beginning of the season.
He's been fine, if not great, the last half of the season. He's proven himself. Judging him on his passing performance in a game played in the rain is stupid. Jake Fromm played in the rain against Kentucky and only had 35 yards passing. Hell, Casey Clausen couldn't get a clean snap from under center in the rain against Florida (apologies for bringing up a horrible memory). He just needed to manage the game, avoid fumbles, and keep the chains moving on manageable 3rd downs. He did that.He shouldn't start but predict he will.he is most likely a very good practice player. He just cannot handle the pressure of the game.
It was a top 10 defense and one of the better pass defenses. They can't help if their offense sucked. He did play great...your hate is just too strong. And me saying he played great...I clearly said "the last half of the season" and not just the Missouri game. Read better dude.Almost as stupid as judging him in 1 game against a Mizzou team that hadn’t won a game since early October and calling his play “great”....
As they should have.
Running to set up the pass is allowed
Most of this year I have felt like JG was a frontrunner i.e. when things are going well he can keep it going well but when things are bad he can’t handle adversity within the game.
What happened yesterday with the poor start of 0/7 with a pick was exactly what we needed to see. We needed to see him be able to fight thru a bad start and find a way to play well. He did just that and that’s something many of us didn’t think he could do.
Im so glad he didn’t play well from the start and now we can see can overcome a bad start, something we had never seen from him before
He has a real shot at being damn good next year! Excited to say the least
Thats like saying people are incapable of improving. Im optimistic about him progressing next year and taking at least a sizable leap because it will be the first year that he has had an OC for more than 1 year as hes already played for 4 in college in 4 years. Hopefully he wont think too much and just play and let the ball go next season. This season hasn't gone the way anyone thought it would go with him (himself included), but we definitely dont get 7 wins without him.Wow. I don’t know how I could possibly disagree any more than you in this. I’m hoping we never see this dude take the field again after this season. And you’re optimistic about his future here?
I'm giving JG a pass on his ability to pass, or lack thereof, in this game. At times, the wind was howling, let alone the wet conditions. We overcame to win the game. GBO!!!
No need to argue with me. JMO and I'm entitled to it.
