Won't be surprised if he shines out there. Much smaller stage plus we do seem to see our cast offs somehow turn things around and become successful once they leave Knoxville. I'd also place some money on JT putting up some big numbers at his new school.

There is absolutely zero chance he shines at Wash St. Now im exaggerating a bit but honestly I would bet less than 10%. He's terrible at reading his progressions and his accuracy is below average at best. Hope the man nothing but success in life but it's not going to be in football.

You might not want to read this. Sounds like another JG story.. Good in practice, but horrible in games...

It's why I'm still not high on Milton. He's a guy with the perfect physical attributes, but who lacks accuracy, decison-making, and touch on his throws. Looks great in practice; not so great in actual games. I'd love to be proven wrong and I'd be happy to admit it if I am, but I think we have a much better shot with either Hooker or Bailey.

I'm just glad he's gone. Was the longest tenured QB in history. I think CBJ nrought him in as "The Manchurian Quarterback" to destroy the team. He was not an SEC QB, we all know that. Pressure on game day was too much. But, he played thru a lot of pain. Remember the broken arm! I'll give him credit that year. He took a lot of hits. He was the most ridiculous passer I have ever seen, and I've been going to games for a very long time. Now- he's not in the SEC, not the same pressure, he may play wonderful. If he does-Congratulations to him!

Yes. It sounds just like the experts here talking about JG..
Great practice quarterback.
Has tons of ability but takes to long to read defenses.
THIS ONE SURPRISED ME. Best season in high school completed ONLY 49% of year passes.
Consistently overthrows his receivers.
Throws to hard to receivers on short passes.

I went back to see what RIVALS said about him when he was being recruited. Said he was being recruited based on his high potential but he would be a project.

It is time for football to start!!!!!

And yet, OSU wanted him so much, they mocked his picking the UT.

Wow. Delusion is strong with WSU.

Haven't read the whole thread and others may have mentioned - but the left side of the line was dominating when JG decided to go rogue and attempt his QB sneak against Bama resulting in one of the most embarrassing, stupidest plays I've seen in 50 years of watching, and a 14-point swing. He specialized in snatching defeat from the jaws of victory because he just didn't have it, just wasn't clutch. Hope he has a good year, but it would definitely be against form and an aberration.

The WSU fans just don't know what they don't know. All they see is a 3-7 team that looked bad and the O-line did not look good. They are just hoping he is not as bad a game day QB as he appeared to be an TN so they are coming up with all the reasons why they will make him good. Bless their hearts.

The VNers hanging on everything JG does at WSU are like the losers FB stalking ex girlfriends hoping they aren’t happy with the new boyfriend.

He’s gone. Won’t be throwing picks for TN anymore. Wish him luck but really don’t care what he is going anywhere else.

Except this one wasn't a mutual, voluntary romantic relationship that ended poorly. This was an involuntary arranged marriage that took us 4 years to eventually escape.

Seriously though, it's not unusual for people to keep up with players who transferred out. Some we wish well, some we don't. But I think we all have that bvs thing where we keep an eye on former players expecting them to ball out at the next place and drive us mad LOL.

Hope he tears it up, but honestly we need to let him go folks. Lol. It didn't work out here at all. The end. He doesn't need to be brought up every day

I agree, It's like checking out your old girlfriend that you really never liked that much but is curious as to how she'll be with another guy...Just let JG go and be JG...WSU fans will soon find out what we already know...But I honestly do wish him the very best and hope he has a good season out there.

So i went to the WSU board to see what comments might be made about JG......here is the most interesting one..

"Guarantano had his issues at UT, however this will be the best offensive line he has ever played behind, and the offense weapons are better than anything he has had before. Sounds like he has something to prove, so if he just plays within himself and the system, he could have his best year ever, if he does, I don't expect the 2nd coming of Minshew, but if he plays well the Cougs have a great year, if he doesn't, well we have 2 other viable options."

another one....

"We do havr someone thats more then capable of getting them the ball and his name is Guarantano.

He did very well getting Tenessee WR's the ball, so much so, that he made the Top 10 statistical passers in Tenessee history list, and had pretty good company with the likes of Peyton Manning, also on that list.

His ability to get WR's the ball wasnt the issue. His issue was crap OL, crap defense, crap coaching, different systems, about 3,4,5,6 different coaches, in his time there, that made him inconsistent.

He shouldnt have those Problems a WSU.

He has NFL Quality WR's in Travell Harris, Calvin Jackson,Moore

He has a NFL RB

He has a NFL O Line and a 1st Round Draft pick OL in Abe Lucas.

And a better coach, and better system.

And he has experience.

If he can stay healthy, not get injured, like how he got injured, and thus only got 1 snap in the Spring game, he will be just fine.

Also in Spring Ball, in his first scrimmage, he went perfect, about 8 for 8, all completions, no incompletions. Led a drive for a TD, threw about a 23 to 33 yard TD pass, about 113 yards, NO INT's.

He has got the arm, can make all the throws.

He 'll do just fine, assuming JDL doesnt stupidly start again.

Guarantano is the favorite to start, its his job to lose."


Players you’re most excited to see this year

HE WILL DO WHAT HE ALWAYS DOES MOVE THE BALL FROM THE 20 TO THE 30 GETTING GOOD STATS AND PERCENTAGE - THEN PROCEDE TO FUMBLE THE BALL OR THROW AND INTERCEPTION OR HOLD THE BALL TO LONG AND GET SACKED - PERHAPS WITH ANOTHER FUMBLE. AS THE FIELD GETS SMALLER AND SMALLER - HE CAN NOT PROCESS WHAT TO DO

Don't know anything about WSU's o-line, but I'm going to assume it's definitely not better than an OL that included Trey Smith, Brandon Kennedy, and Cade Mays on it.

Even though Wash State plays in a weak division, I'd still bet on them being one of the weaker teams in it this year. 3-9 or 4-8 is not out of the question.

I'm honestly rooting for JG there, but I don't see any evidence that it's a good team.

Doubt their Offensive line is better than Tennessee at any time in JGs career here. But on the flip side he will never face defensive lines from any opponent like he faced here in the SEC.

It's the coaches fault for putting him in there.

But it is 99% JGs fault that he was a crap QB.

Yep. Throwing to wide open defensive backs has nothing to do with coaching. Maybe wr made wrong route but you have to be able the majority of time to do something else with the ball. You cant throw it with zero of your guys and two of theirs lol. Once in awhile but when you do it consistently its just poor live action decisions. Game is too fast for him.

To whoever in weed-smoking land out there stated this.... don't EVER, EVER, EVER, NEVER EVER, NEVER NEVER EVER, refer to JG in a sentence that references an accomplishment of Peyton Manning. Please and thank you.
