'20 GA QB Harrison Bailey (UT SIGNEE)

[engineerVOL]

I’ll be that guy. I don’t think Bailey is all that. Let me make this clear: I want him to be the second coming of Peyton Manning and then some.

But I don’t know what y’all are talking about with him going through reads and progressions. He knows absolutely who he’s throwing to before every snap, and it’s almost always to the guy that’s a foot taller and 50 lbs heavier than the ones covering him. He has protection from offensive line with two Power-5 commits. Receivers are going to LSU, Michigan State, and Boston College. Running back going to Colorado State. They are absolutely stacked. Of course they’re going to put up cartoon numbers. When pressured even a little bit, his accuracy drops dramatically, but again, he’s bailed out by Gilbert and company. When the playing field is leveled, and everybody has 3, 4, 5 stars, I wonder how his decision making and accuracy will be. I hope he’s the man and wins us several national championships. But those of y’all calling for him to start from day 1 are probably setting yourselves up for disappointment, as it looks like he could really use a redshirt year before he takes the field and leads us back to the promised land.

SMH.

You might need to Google the history books of Ga high school football. When you see the 3 guys ahead of him please get back with me and let me know how they did? Why would anyone not be excited about this kid and why would anyone want to be that guy?

Bailey is better than Maurer, JG, & Shrout.

Although JG has played much better here recently, he’ll start over Bailey due to having more experience.

Might have more arm talent but he needs to mature mentally in the game and learn to read defenses. Redshirt would be good and Chaney will be great for him.

 

[kemotoe]

Uga being uga lol (they do have 1 or 2 level headed people posting)

Wish we had recruited Harrison Bailey. Hes

While UGA isn’t my least favorite team, their fans are my least favorite. The most self entitled, pompous, and arrogant fan base in the SEC. No doubt Kirby has elevated the program, but you would think they just went on the run Bama did.

 

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

This will be JG's first time in the same offense 2 years in a row. I foresee drastic improvement, which is potentially scary, especially with a competent OL for a full season.

JG is scary ?

Updated stats...got to add 1 catch for 6 yards and a td too.

Two of his best attributes are reading defenses and his mental game according to his coaches. I don't think he'll struggle any at all in that department.

He will still be a college freshman. Different when you are throwing to the best athlete on the field. True passing QBs need a year to learn the O and how to run an O. He is good but will be a freshman and is not a dual threat.

A year will be great for him. If he comes in and wins the job then cool.

4 year starter at UT. Let's get the Harrison Bailey era started NOW...and win us some SEC titles.

 

[VolForLife83]

Harrison Bailey is already a NFL hall of famer

Let's not turn him into Baine or whomever it was

 

[nashvol1]

We have relied on freshmen for so long that we forget the vast majority of freshmen do not come in and start and should not if you have a good football team.

Not a knock on Bailey, I am excited about his upside.

Fromm and Lawrence didn't need a year and those are the 2 he most resembles in terms of what type QB he is.

Read the entire post including the last sentence.

He reads defenses pretty good and really spots open receivers better than any of our current QBs.

 

[nashvol1]

Doesn’t mean he is ready as a true freshman.

 

[SLICKYINC]

Doesn’t mean he’s not.

 

[nashvol1]

Doesn’t mean he’s not.

Again, read post above. If he wins the job, that’s cool. He will still be a true freshmen in the SEC with a less experienced core of receivers.

I want to to see us groom players into their full potential, not throw them in the mix before fully ready. That’s where we need to be as a program.

I read it but think if the kid wins the job, then so be it. More and more true freshmen start every year than ever before.

Pocket passers in the SEC not as much. Other positions sure.

No need in moving goal posts now. Fromm is a ”pocket passer”. Beyond that, Bo Nix, Hilinski, and guys all over the country. It’s the new tread because of the portal regardless if we like it or not.

Bailey isn't starting next year, JMO. I don't think Pruitt nor Chaney want to throw a true freshmen into the fire, which is why they were so hesitant to play Maurer. If JG continues to improve, he is your starting QB.

if you want to win, you play the best players, it should not matter if they are seniors or freshmen.
