if you want to win, you play the best players, it should not matter if they are seniors or freshmen.
That is why the player who gives us the best chance to win will play the most. That doesnāt mean that player will start.. JG gave us the best chance to win during the last half of the yer, but he came off the bench to carry us to the 7-5 season. HB has more talent than any other QB we Will have next year, but will have less experience. I would not be surprised to see him play a lot the last half of the season if the more experienced QBs are not leading us to wins.I mean a QB is a completely different scenario than a freshmen WR or LB. QB is the most important position on the field.
Iāll be that guy. I donāt 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 donāt know what yāall are talking about with him going through reads and progressions. He knows absolutely who heās throwing to before every snap, and itās almost always to the guy thatās 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 theyāre going to put up cartoon numbers. When pressured even a little bit, his accuracy drops dramatically, but again, heās 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 heās the man and wins us several national championships. But those of yāall 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.
Just like Donnie Davis who went to Georgia Tech was rated higher than Heath Shuler in the 1991 recruiting classTo set the record straight, Josh Booty was the #1 overall recruit for the 1994 signing class and Manning was ranked #2. Proves the recruiting services have been getting it wrong for years!
Usually this is true, but with elite talent you make exceptions.I mean a QB is a completely different scenario than a freshmen WR or LB. QB is the most important position on the field.
Which is precisely why you need to escort JG to the door as quickly as possible.
I don't hate Guarantano. I hate horrible starting QB's that cause UT to consistently under-perform. While he is not alone, JG is the most recent example.You mean the QB who won you 6 of your last 7 games? The QB who relieved Maurer in the 2nd half of the Kentucky game and completely changed our offense? The QB who threw for 415 yards just two weeks ago against Missouri?
It's time to get over this inane hatred of a player who hasn't had the same OC throughout his first 4 seasons. I hope JG wins the job next year and proceeds to throw for 4,000 yards just to give all these haters a hernia.
Yes he missed on every swing pass in a game he threw for 415 yds in against one of the best pass defenses in the country. No, I don't think he will lead us to a title next year. Neither would any SEC returning QB's. But I do think he can lead us to 9-11 wins.I donāt hate on JG, and have not the first time. Bottom line! He is NOT good enough to take Tennessee to the next level. He holds the ball too long and he canāt even throw a swing pass.
Very weak argument. Hilinski played because the starter got hurt, Fromm won the job. Again, if Bailey wins the job that is great. I would rather see a pocket passer develop for a year in the system and then have 4 to play.No need in moving goal posts now. Fromm is a āpocket passerā. Beyond that, Bo Nix, Hilinski, and guys all over the country. Itās the new tread because of the portal regardless if we like it or not.
My argument is solid. You want to keep glossing over the fact that true freshmen QBs are starting more and more all over CFB. Fact.Very weak argument. Hilinski played because the starter got hurt, Fromm won the job. Again, if Bailey wins the job that is great. I would rather see a pocket passer develop for a year in the system and then have 4 to play.
The question is whether he is ready for an SEC defense with no experience and are we better off redshirting a future 3 or 4 year starter. Only one person has questioned his talent. Mauer will not roll over either...he has swagger.That is why the player who gives us the best chance to win will play the most. That doesnāt mean that player will start.. JG gave us the best chance to win during the last half of the yer, but he came off the bench to carry us to the 7-5 season.
