I know. Another qb thread. But I have a question for VN.

You are basically saying that you would transfer. Most players don’t transfer. They stay and compete.

I think this is a different kind of case at UT. If WE can see the mismanagement of the qbs how blatant do you think it is to them? It would be easy to understand for either of them if the other guy was chosen to assume that JP won’t give them a chance to compete when they don’t have that luxury now.

Never wanted anyone who committed to my favorite school to transfer before recently. Seeing some side benefits to Maurer transferring...also recently. 🤔

Yes, there is. These are all world-class athletes in world-class strength and conditioning programs. Just playing different sports with different goals. Coleman only ran an 11.00 his Jr year in HS. I ran an 11.03 my Jr year. I did not become the fastest man in the world. Something happened, he got faster...

I’m just kinda going on the theory that it’s actually Brian himself.. I’m sure it’s wrong, but makes this board more entertaining

Too close in class. If Maurer got the nod Bailey only starts his senior season barring injury.

What if he’s truly as great as Aaron Rodgers...like you’ve stated multiple times? Then he’d be eligible for the draft next year (Rodgers only stayed 2 at Cal) and Bailey would have 4 to play 3.

Not an outlier just one example of someone that needed to document their times every year. I sure this holds true with everyone that runs track. I am sure they get faster.

Techniques...fundamentals...nutrition. If he had all that EARLIER? He would have clocked faster. The more you do something the better you are. No wasted movement and you CLOCK faster.

So you are saying a strength and conditioning program? Bigger, faster, stronger.

You really need to watch Aaron Rodgers highlights and compare his playing style to Maurers highlights if you can get over it. Watch their throwing mechanics, delivery, foot work, platforms etc. If you can’t see the similarities, you don’t want to.

Was he really physically faster than he was at his previous meet? Or had he reduced wasted motion or some other training methodology between the two? A week or a month in age change the chemistry?

Your training. You learn to run better and more efficiently. Not pretending to be an expert but it’s reasonable to believe that an athlete who maxed out at 4.7 can’t simply wait a couple of years and clock a better time. You’re as fast as you are.

I believe you can condition muscles to become more fast-twitch. Also dropping body fat and becoming more explosive overall.

Thing about highlights. I compare the two and see totally different players. But before your acknowledged bias you have a history of expertise. Don’t inflate your opinion as common knowledge...that’s a little arrogant.

You can’t seem to get past the comparison So I’m trying to help you. You want to mock the comparison so I’m telling you what to look for. If you don’t want to do your homework then making a mockery of someone who has makes you look ignorant.

Your homework looks slanted towards your own personal narrative, teach. Reminds me of Mr. Bonnette in 5th grade. Bama fan who related everything to Bear halftime speeches. When we were coloring states on maps, he made us use brown for Tennessee...because orange was Tennessee color. You want to see Rodgers and you’ll see Rodgers.

What you’re saying is people that don’t WANT to see the comparison won’t. Idgad about personal narratives. You’re not going to see Lamar Jackson in Tom Brady or vise versa. That being said and true, you can only see one in the other if their game is similar.

Individual prerogatives. You see a clone...I don’t see anything similar.

I wouldn't argue with you about your other beliefs. I think they have merit.

I am very, very confident that Pruitt made the QB call and has been the one insisting on playing JG. No offensive play caller likes to be limited by his QB. JG greatly limits what Chaney can call.

Sound. On one hand I hope you are right, because it means we have hope. On the other I hope you are wrong, because it means we have a guy who could be the problem at the helm.

You are wrong on so several points here.
1-Bailey sick ? I know he was out because of Covid tracing. Not sure if he was sick.
2-Maurer injured - he had an issue during camp. He has been healthy for a while.
3-S/C issues referenced by you and several others. I call BS.
The problems for this team are almost 100% execution related.
4-Pruitt - nothing he can do about the issues on this team including the Qb position. A valid excuse for year one but not years 2-3. He is still losing opportunities to develop the BM and HB. Alabama 4th Qtr was the perfect opportunity to give both HB and HB quality snaps including passing plays. Alabama gave Young more development than we our backup Qb’s.

Bailey was out for a decent amount of time. Thought I read he wasn’t feeling well. Regardless, he missed all spring and part of summer.

This was posted 4 days ago. Maurer is still listed as questionable.
Injury tracker for Week 8 of college football

You calling BS does not change the facts. By your logic, nearly every position is being coached poorly. Doubt that with Jay Graham, Tee Martin on staff. OL is still allowing a ridiculous amount of sacks and has not been playing as well as they ended last year. DL is getting no sacks and not getting off the blocks. RBs have been going down early. Receivers are not getting separation. Then there is all the bitching about the team quitting. Basically every issue I have listed is relative to S&C... and that is the only new-to-the-position coach we have on the team. It is not the ONLY problem, but it is clearly the common denominator.

I never said there was nothing Pruitt can do. I explained why we are in this situation.

Well I've got little to no info to go on outside of JG. If Maurer is healthy, I'm going to give him the nod. He's got 1+ year in the system and wheels he's shown a willingness to use. That's assuming Bailey doesn't beat him out in practice. But if Maurer isn't getting it done on the field, Bailey is the next man up.

All great college coaches are stubborn. All great college coaches... know when not to be stubborn.

I appreciate the fact that Pruitt doesn't give up on a plan just because he hits some bumps. But I think some wisdom is in order now concerning the QB position.
