Interesting Interview by a QB coach on Guarantano

#151
#151
Guarantano is the unquestioned starter next year. The guy was good this year and has a chance to be great if he progresses, we have an experienced OC and the O-Line shows any semblance of mediocrity. Jarrett needs to improve pre-snap reads and calling blocking assignments but he is a quality, top 5 SEC talent. Name one other SEC QB who would have survived the beating he took this year. The guy is tough as nails and only Jalen Hurts transferring to UT would reduce his minutes.

I think you are wrong. If Pruitt was up for changing QB.s, he would have done so vs. USC, while JG was recovering from Bama injury. Keller would have played and we likely would have won that game, thus have a 6th win and be bowling now.
I think Pruitt has a love affair with JG....

yeah, that's the answer......

What are your excuses of JGs play during the Vandy game lol. Don’t blame it on the line. Because his play was atrocious.

No excuses from me, his play during vandy was definitely well below his average. If I were to guess, he might have known some people were gonna phone it in and may have been gun shy after his injury the other week. But that's just pure speculation, not an excuse for his absolutely poor play during the vandy game.

It is hard to read a defense when he is on his back. Tennessee has offensive line issues and until those get fixed it does not matter who the QB is.

80% of the times he is on his back is due to an obvious pre-snap blitz. This generally happens when the defense sends 1 more guy than there is blockers. That means somebody is getting back there unblocked. It also means that a receiver is going to be uncovered or sitting down in a zone/ So ask yourself , what happens when our defense does this very simple thing to a competent to great QB ? Why are we not laying them out every time we send an extra guy ? Because the competent QB sees this development pre-snap and gets the ball to the uncovered guy. JG does not do this. He also holds the ball for more than 2.5 seconds. This is inexcusable given the issues the offensive line has and the fact that he always has a hot release or dump off guy. If he is holding the ball too long , then he is not hitting the receiver in the moment of separation . He is hitting them after that in the moment the DB is catching up

Does this mean that I don't like JG ? Not at all . He has improved a lot . He can improve more if they get him with the right OC and he cleans up these habits. The Oline is not good ...but these habits of JGs exacerbate the issue. I have to believe that if there was an underclassmen that was better , they would have started him . So it is possible to like a guy and cheer for him and still recognize his short comings

We do have OL issues. Fact.
That has nothing to do with “reading the defense “ if a QB reads the D it’s done pre snap and has an idea where the pressure is coming from and where he most likely is throwing the ball, and eliminating some of them “on his back instances “.
Those saying all the sacks are strictly the O lines fault are just as wrong as the ones saying it JG’s fault.
It’s both and put the 2 together and you have our offense

Going to be a lot of disappointed people who don't know anything about football when JG is the unquestioned starter in the spring and fall.

Too many ignorant statements to address individually.

Shrout 51% 26 ints and far behind JG this year isn't catching and passing him up. You are smoking meth if you think that.

JG is a good SEC qb and probably All SEC next year. The one saying he isn't an SEC qb said the same things about Dobbs but thought Dormady was a NFL prospect.

Y'all are clueless.

I don’t see anything close to All-SEC. Stares down receivers, doesn’t go through progressions, wasn’t even in the upper half of QBs this year. I root for the dude obviously ... but I’m not seeing it.

Yes, I did say it. I also saw KC move the team right down the field several times when JG couldn't. I am not questioning the coaching staff. But, I can't believe KC didn't play much more. Pruitt said the ones that showed the most upside in practice would play. I think KC may have not of been a good practice player. But, he was far more of A GAMER than JG. Yes, he would have threw many more ints. But, he would have moved us down the field with much more success and had lots less sacks which put us in 2nd and 3rd down situations with much more than 10 yards to go!!! It doesn't matter now. Again, you will be proven wrong by this time next year. Do you want to wager on it?

Some truth to this. However, go back and watch how many times somebody comes in untouched and you will see the offensive line just did not pick up the right guy and it was not JGs fault. He is not holding the ball past 2.5 seconds very often because he does not have that long. When he does hold it nobody is open. About the only thing I wished he would do is take off when his protection breaks down.

Bad game. What qb hadn't had a bad game?

Also multiple reports of players quitting around him and not giving max effort didn't help.

But bad game. That is all.

Please name the SEC qb or UT who started as a freshman/sophomore who doesn't have a game as bad or worse in games started their freshman of sophomore year.

I'll be waiting.

How are you more of a gamer when you complete 48 to 62% and a astronomically high int rate?
Thus is where you JG bashers lose credibility. You can't say well he would throw more ints and incompletions but he would move the ball more. How is that possible?

He never was in the same situation as JG so he never did what he couldn't.

The first Bama score, down 28, was all on Jg. KC waslucky to come in with the team already in scoring position. Then he had one drive down 28. Woo. Freaking. Hoo.

Maybe the Mizzou game. We see how that turned out. And no JG as never in that game due to a missed block. You cannot use 2 passes while concussed to compare to the rest of the game.

So no. Throwing more ints and being way less accurate does not mean that KC would have moved the ball better.

Btw JG took 2 sacks a game sue to misses blocks. Maybe stop repeating talking points.

Redshirt sophomore different then being a true sophomore.

Edit: He almost threw 5 picks in the Vandy game. It was awful.

Name the qb who hasn't had a game that bad or worse in his freshman or soph9more year of starting.

You are aware up until the last few years 90% if was redshirted right?
Name one qb who has never had a bad game.

Almost 5? Lol.

Well only three on the year. Should have been two as the one vs Vandy was a clear PI.

Lowest in UT history over 200 passes in a year.

Still waiting for a name too.

Please explain to my why you ride JGs jockstrap so hard?

I want the kid to get better but he hasn’t improved enough in his 3 years to have the position on lockdown. (Anyone can see that) I highly expect him to lose the job when a new OC is hired. (JG is not the future of Tennessee football)

JG is not a threat throwing and he is not a threat running. Those make him a death sentence to any offense out there.

JG isn't the problem, a make shift OL is. Yes he holds the ball longer than he should but he doesn't throw game changing INT's. He's not perfect but get use to the idea that he's our QB until he leaves. The kid can play and I for one can't wait to see him behind a decent OL.

Wow that is an impressively long list of qbs that never had a bad game.

How does a qb that isn't a threat to throw have a 140 rating in his first full year of starting while completing 62+% with the record for fewest ints?

Your childish insults just show you have no argument. I have facts.

And who is this magical mythical qb who will be starting next year? 🙃🙃🙃

No smart HC or OC is going to go with some unknown when you have a qb, that once again, had a 140 rating completed 60 something percent and the least ints in school history. Lmao

Still waiting for a single name.

All QBs have bad games. JG just has more of them.

Edit: Accounted for -94 yards rushing because he doesn’t know how to avoid pressure or throw the ball away. (Greatest QB ever in your eyes)

According to the article that Freak posted, 178/246 attempts were from a "clean pocket", that's roughly 72%.

Stating that JG's issues are wholly with the oline is disingenuous at best.

Jarrett Guarantano: 1907 yds / 12 TDs / 3 Ints - 141 Rating

Jake Fromm: 2236 yds / 24 TDs / 5 Ints - 179.4 Rating

Tua Tagoviloa: 3189 yds / 36 TDs / 2 Ints - 212.5 Rating

Drew Lock: 3125 yds / 25 TDs / 8 Ints - 145.6 Rating

Jake Stidham: 2421 yds / 13 TDs / 4 Ints - 128.5 Rating

Terry Wilson: 1768 yds / 11 TDs / 8 Ints - 134.3 Rating

Kyle Shurmur: 2844 yds / 23 TDs / 6 Ints - 146 Rating

Felipe Franks: 2284 yds / 23 TDs / 6 Ints - 144.1 Rating

Jake Bentley: 2754 yds / 24 TDs / 10 Ints - 155.1 Rating

Funny that the two games we won were against QBs who were worse then JG. (Wilson and Stidham)

JG is not the answer and these stats prove it. Notice every SEC QB we lost to had higher TDs and Ratings then the two we beat to include our own QB.

That is proof enough. So stop throwing JGs garbage stats around on the board like they are impressive because they aren’t. They are awful.

Until he is replaced as QB Tennessee’s offense will be mediocre at best.
