I have made no secret that I like Pruitt. But I believe his handling of QB's is a major flaw that could prevent him from becoming successful.

Fulmer had his own flaws but he routinely went with his most talented QB over his "best prepared" QB. He made his QB's upside the first priority then got him prepared.

I've argued for a long time that for all of his good qualities JG is limited from a mental talent standpoint in ways that hold him and the O back. It isn't personal. He simply does not appear to be capable of processing fast enough to deliver on time or the abstract "vision" to anticipate/throw receivers open. Pruitt has to start seeing the opportunity costs of playing a guy like JG over guys with higher upsides.

Nah man.
He's playing his best option, period!

You don't need to see them get an actual chance in the game.

Too long to read all this but prolly another thread that goes “JG has had 5 years to show he just can’t be a consistent SEC qb”...... no argument there

We've been told JG can run Chaney's offense and understand it because it is basically multi-variablr Calculus.

Now where are we? We can't even trust the QB to throw the ball in Chaney's infallible offense.

A coach that won't simplify his offense to what he has. A tale as old as football, and one that has never failed to send coaches to the unemployment line.

I’ve been a fan of CJP but now I’m starting to say oh No we are in trouble. Don’t know if it’s a player thing or coaching thing but something has to change and fast

Agreed, I remember a story from one of the schools (I think it was the USC Trojans) in which they were running this very complicated offense and struggling. They simplified it and starting winning a lot of games.

Maybe it time to evaluate Pruitt as a head coach, if he’s unwilling to make changes at quarterback and afraid to play freshman as other programs do. He won’t fire a substandard offensive line coach that hasn’t produced in three years. I knew when they gave him an extension earlier this year we were going to have a bad season and posted that. Tennessee always deflects with the fans on coaches.

Pruitt can see no wrong in JG. Why does Fulmer put up with this. Same reason the got fired the first time. Being loyal to loosers.

Tenn has dumbed down the offense numerous times. It doesn't matter if your QB sucks.

I would put Bailey in. Maybe he doesn't have the system down perfectly, but surely he knows enough of it to run the offense better than JG

Pruitt’s had three years to watch this crap at QB. He’s either dumber than a post and can’t recruit a QB worth a dad gum. Either way it’s bad.

Yes, this, JG is the "comfortable" QB in practice because there are not fans in the stands and mulligans, he sucks when those are removed, JG would make a decent DIV II qb on a team that has a better than average DIV II OL, but not here, not now
