So JG is going to figure out how to throw before a receiver breaks? He is going to be able to now go through progressions faster? He will now take off and run after 4 seconds in the pocket? Sorry just not that confident.

Chaney has had that affect of QBs he has coached in the past with UT ties. Turned Jonathon Crompton into a good QB, Turned Nathan Peterman into an NFL backup, and I think with the second year to do it, he can have the same drastic affect on a broken JG as well. I will pull for whomever starts for UT, but I feel JG deserves to be given the chance to see what it is like being in the exact same offensive scheme two years in a row. It will be the first time in his career he has been afforded that luxury. He showed glimpses of the game slowing down for him this year; less panic, more on time throws.

I'm sure that's the narrative Pruitt is using on JG, and will more than likely get the start for first part of the season, because he typically doesn't turn the ball over, all the while knowing he'll be ripe for a quick exit when he starts airmailing open receivers. In reality, it's just as much about the other FIVE QB's on the team...one of them has to CONSISTENTLY step up and take the job. To this point, that hasn't happened. Maurer could have taken the clubhouse lead going into Spring with a strong relief effort during Gator Bowl, but nearly threw 3 INT's on one drive...hence, back to JG.

So "nearly" throwing three interceptions is worse than actually throwing two? I had no idea.

I think people are taking JG and his experience for granted. I believe he’ll be TN’s QB and leader for the 2020 campaign, and will cement his legacy as one of UT’s greatest QB’s (based on stats and growth as a player).

JG struggled adapted to a new offense, which he was forced to do throughout his career thus far. But after a year in the system, and the experience he’s gained, I feel like JG will be among the leading QB’s in the SEC next season, and will even be mentioned in the heisman discussions a few times.

If our line gels as a run blocking machine, JG could be a game manager type. If we need consistent passing, I think someone else finally beats him out.

In the SEC, teams with balanced offenses seem to be the most successful. All 4 teams in the NCAA playoffs have balanced offenses in that they can efficiently run and pass the football. Kentucky lost its QB and beat a few teams by running the ball more than 90% of the time. They ended up winning 7 games with a running QB, similar to what the Ravens did in the NFL this year. However the Titans and the VOLs had the defenses to bear them. For Tennessee has to have a balanced offense to beat teams like Alabama,Georgia, Florida, Auburn. and LSU. I am nor convinced that JG can throw the football efficiently enough to consistently beat those teams. His best passing offense is to throw the ball up for grabs and have our WRs catch the 50-50 balls. That will not work because he often throws the ball into double and triple coverage. Our red zone offense is the worst in the SEC and close to the worst in the Nation. Yhat is why I believe HB will be the guy by mid season.

Ok maybe the heisman part was me being over optimistic. I still think he takes a leap, and his final stats end up as a top 5 passer in TN history.

Respectfully, and without sarcasm, JG has dealt with the same issues in his game since he got here. He has never developed the ability to consistently read a defense, or put himself into good situations and protections pre-snap. His footwork is really bad, and he has a limited ability to put any touch on a ball. He has a BIG arm, which is unfortunately frequently out of control. His completion percentages have been a product of scheme, and the talent around him.

By all accounts he's a good kid, a devoted VFL, and unquestionably tough-as-nails. What he is NOT is a good SEC QB. I actually feel bad for the situation he has been forced into. Multiple coaching staffs and coordinators have not been beneficial to his development. If he were my kid, I'd let him make his own decision but would counsel him that a change of scenery might be beneficial.

If JG plays all season like he did the last 5 minutes of the Gator Bowl, then yes, he'll cement his memories in the Vol faithful. However, I don't think that will happen. Plus he loses 2 really good WRs.

It would be great if that could happen. And even all of us who criticize, hope for this, but the problem is he's showed "glimpses" of the game slowing down every year, but that's all he has. Not going to fall for any JG improvement hype this off season. It's time to move on.

It helps JG that he’s seen lots of coverages and situations. BUT he has lots of BAD experience. He has not been very successful and we are better to move on.

Thank you Mrs. Guarantano. I'm sure your son will be simply awesome next season.

We’d be 10-3 this year if we had better QB play. I don’t want to see JG starting next year.

Just to play "devil's advocate",,,,, would you rather see a 7-6 or 8-5 season with someone else come next year? I had, as this could be what we have either way, him or a newbie.

I just want improvement, no matter who it is. QB play this year has been our weak spot. We’ve been waiting for the light to come on with JG and after three years and a lot of playing time it hasn’t. I doubt we will see much improvement from year three to four because we haven’t seen huge leaps in improvement yet.

We will see the direction the coaches feel is best sometime around August. If JG has not transferred by then, it will be obvious that they are not in the "time to move on mindset". Until then, all is speculation. I will support whichever direction they go.
