Not asking you to stop! Seems to me like you’re just scratching the surface of something truly groundbreaking. Keep up the totally original and non-repetitive work sjt...your contribution is truly appreciated by all!Yeah... when people stop posting the same crap blaming the OL exclusively and trying to white wash any problem JG has... I'll stop too.
Agreed on OL, but less on the WRs and a bit more on JG, IMO. We didn’t really have any game breakers at WR, but they did what was asked of them for the most part. They made some great plays on 50-50 balls he threw too.Thats close to the % I would put. Although I would put the OL at 50%, 30% on the receivers and 20% on JG.

But yeah the inability of the OL to be consistent in the run game or the passing game definitely hurt JG and the WRs. The staff wanted to build an offense centered on running the ball to set up a vertical, downfield passing game and we just never had the consistency at OL to do that. Granted, overly predictable playcalling and poorly schemed run plays did hurt the OL at times as well.
How Jarrett Guarantano impressed at Manning Passing Academy
"Racioppi certainly kept an eye on Guarantano given his familiarity with him, and he said Guarantano shined during the throwing sessions for the college quarterbacks, impressing with his footwork on five- and seven-step drops from under center and play-action fakes and “effortlessly” hitting on NFL-caliber throws, such as 16- and 18-yard comeback routes, 18- to 20-yard speed-cut dig routes and dagger routes."
I'm glad he is supposedly getting better with his touch. He will impress me even more if he shows that improvement this fall on the field.
I'm glad he drew praise. But that's something that could have been written last year... and maybe was.
Dont know what they know, but its def not on the same page as everyone else including the coaching staff. you know, the ones paid to make these decisions. so obviously they would be the odd man out looking dumb and laughing at their own stupidity.So, all the one's that think he's a great QB are athletes? If not, what do they know?
He could literally go out and play his ass off and some of you would piece together something to complain about
That isn't true. What is his record as a UT starting QB? Enough said. Yes, the OL has been atrocious at times. But, UT did run the ball on a few teams and JG was given some time to throw the ball down the field some last year when JG still didn't manage to put up real good numbers. In a lot of people's opinions, JG had one really good game last year, Auburn. There were several 50/50 balls that game that could have went another way. I do think CJC can turn JG into a very good QB. I do think JG has a lot of great skills. But, he hasn't shown MOST OF US what we want to see in quicker decision making and drop more dimes than lots of other SEC QBs!!! If he does that this year, we could win 9 games in the regular season!!! The D won't be STOUT. But, it will hold it's own a lot and be much more successful even after losing 3 pretty good DL and a very good LB!

Worst offensive line in the history of volunteer football. Jack nuts we’re offside 4 times a game too.
He was part of the problem. You can quibble about how much goes to who... but he had significant issues in both of the last two years. He holds the ball too long in part because he does not appear to read D's well especially pre-snap. According to an interview he gave earlier in the year, previous OC's didn't allow him to throw hot routes. That's like crippling a QB... so why would you do it if your QB was capable without making too many mistakes?
If he were just good at the quick passing game, it would help the OL tremendously.
I don't get why people literally make up lies to bash our starting quarterback.In all pre season discussions, Guarantano is picked in the bottom 5 of the starting SEC QBs. It's very hard to argue with that assessment based on past results.

Link one article or poll that has JG individually ranked in the bottom five of QBs for this season.
We have some real weirdos.
