I thought so too, but from everything I’ve read it doesn’t seem like he will get the nod. From what I’ve gathered Kingsbury is just really high on McSorley, probably was a losing battle for JG from the beginning.

Knowing there just backups the coach will take the better backup and teacher.

I’d like to see Shrout win the CU job just to see what he can do with some seasoning under his belt. His arm talent is special. He was just very raw when UT signed him.

Of all the QBs that have transferred out of here, Shrout is the one I'd feel most optimistic about. He has an amazing arm and a good head on his shoulders; he was just very raw as you said. Felt like he improved a lot while here. Hope he does well at Colorado.

Amazing how quickly Heup changed our fortunes. Just rember where we were one year ago. Heup is two years ahead of schedule imo.

It helps to be able to say "I was runner up for the Heisman, won a NC in my second year and coached NFL drafted QBs, so I know a little about QB development." I think people will look back in a few years and realize that JH was a home run hire for the Vols. At least I hope so.

Call me bitter and cynical, but other than for them to be free from injury, I don't wish anybody even the slightest bit of success at another program after they leave UT. They can all pound sand. :)

What an amazingly dumb take. If any kid transfers out, and they aren't competing against UT directly or indirectly (like all of these kids), why not wish them success? You sound like a guy who had every ex-girlfriend immediately do better than you

Not sure on Maurer but Stephen F Austin has their starting QB, Trae Self, back from last year. He threw for 3201 yards and ran for 311. Had 31 TDs. I would guess he would be the starter.

I'd much rather carry a clipboard and signal in plays at TN.

If JG makes the NFL, I'm switching to watching ice hockey.


Or, those are some seriously fast receivers to run down that high heat

Harrison Bailey couldnt even win the UNLV starting job. He must be a head case or highly over rated.

Head case he is not..
It was obvious to anyone that actually watched and not rely on his recruiting ranking, what his problem was.

Extremely slow in pass progession and an average arm.

If JG makes the NFL…. I cannot believe that he even got invited to camp. Shocking beyond belief.

And yet, he played for us, as a true freshman (with no Spring ball, due to Covid), vs. SEC opposition, and passed for 578 yds, 48 for 68, throwing for 4 tds vs 2 ints. Freshmen can grow, learn and get quicker with their reads and decision-making. Seems he did not fit Heupel's system. I don't believe his story is quite finished yet.

3rd on depth chart:

3. Kaidon Salter (6-1, 190, r-Fr., Tennessee/Cedar Hill, Texas)
2021 stats: 1 for 2, 39 yards, 1 TD; 5 carries, 53 yards, 10.6 average

Salter is the most electric of the four scholarship quarterbacks on the roster. His dual-threat skill set has been described to Willis, but there are still elements of his game that he needs to work on. The Tennessee transfer showed flashes of what he can bring to the offense during the open scrimmage with his ability to elude tacklers and quickly get out of the pocket. However, there were instances in which the game was still too fast for him and he wasn’t able to make the right decision. That means he will spend the season developing for the future.

“He’s progressed. He’s progressed a lot in that amount of time,” Austin said. “He still needs to get his decision making up to a level that is commensurate with the level that he’s playing at, and that can help our offense get the ball in the end zone with the least amount of mistakes. He’s getting there. Like all young quarterbacks, it’s a work in progress. It was with JB as well when we first got here. He’s doing well.”

Sadly and inexcusably, Maurer's name is misspelled as "Mauer" on the Lumberjacks' official roster.

You could tell when he was at the Elite 11 camp he had a LOT to work on. He was basically a chuck it or nothing type in his HS offense. Wish him good luck.

I've ragged on JG more times than I can count but he was a tough SOB. Maybe he just needed better coaching?

Peterman was not even close as woeful in college as Guarantano. Peterman was at least good at Pitt.

Really, you said that? Yes Peterman had a good couple years at Pitt. However he had one of the worst showings of any Qb to wear the Orange in his time here.

Have you seen him in an NFL uniform?
Peterman struggled in the NFL, throwing five interceptions during the first half of his starting debut and posting a 0.0 passer rating in the 2018 season opener. His 12 interceptions between 2017 and 2018 are the most for a quarterback with less than 100 passing attempts.

Brent Schaeffer was a joke. He ran sideways most of the time and juked around for a 3 yard gain, Dobbs would glide downfield and you would think he had 5 yards and he gained 15. Schaeffer was fun to watch dance around like he was playing tag but he was not a quality quarterback. He did the same stuff at Ole Miss. Salter likely will be another Brent clone.
