JG Approval Poll

[MOOOOONEY]

Seeing the consensus is.... When voting decide if he 1) Is to blame for this loss .... and 2) Should be start next week vs BYU?
Be as accurate in your voting as possible. I understand the polling answers might not 100% align to your answer, but vote on those lines.

Why not put the blame on the guy making 4 million a year? Instead of a kid just looking to be coached up

 

[HuntinVol]

JG isn't the sole reason we lost, he played a part in it along with MOST of the other players and coaches. However, his play is horrible and he should ride the pine. He has never been a good decision maker, holds the ball way to long and will always take more sacks than your average QB. He is not good enough to play here, go to the next man.

 

[MOOOOONEY]

those defending JG - did you actually watch where he was throwing the ball? He continuously selected the 2nd or 3rd best option the entire game. He didn't lose the game, but he did nothing to help win it, either.

Did you see the guy making 4 million a year who is supposedly a defensive coach who couldn’t line his defense up correctly

 

[Smartvol17]

Worst QB in school history, but best QB on roster unfortunately. Can’t wait for Harrison Bailey to save us.

 

[cgrish]

There's a huge drop off from JG to the freshmen. I guess people want that though

And just how do you know there is a huge drop off from JG to the freshmen?? What game did you see the freshmen play in??

 

[volcop1]

To say we have no one better is another sign that this staff is not getting the job done. JG is who he is and that is a sub par QB that couldn't start for GA State.

there are other QB's on the rooster, you never know till you try them

How would you know ?? Did you see Auburn’s freshman QB Saturday night ?? Have you seen our freshmen play in a real game ? NO !! So shut the hell up.

Bo Nix was a five star. Both of our freshman were 3 stars. There's a big difference. From every practice report and everything the coaches have said, JG is the best quarterback we got. I'm sure our resident fool "Big Al Orange" knows more than the coaches, media members, or anyone with a single brain cell saying that JG, while imperfect, is the best we got. Good God, grow up.

 

[nomads-11]

Not the problem, but certainly part of it.

 

[JoAllan]

Lol 82 folk thinks JG is the reason Tennessee lost. Not sure these people watched the game when Tennessee was on D.

Dang that Maurer kid gots 82 family members on this site. (I voted for the last one)

The only one he could’ve seen where BM made the media eat crow with the inconsistency comments.

Bo Nix was a 4 star. The only 5 star was Spencer Rattler. Given the fact that you trust the rankings so much let me remind you you’re trusting the evaluation of the same people that said JG was the #1 DT qb in his class. They said BM was a pocket passer while he runs a 4.5. Thats 2 major misses within our own qb room and yet you think there is a major gap between Nix and Maurer because they say so? At 33% accuracy I’ll take my chances with my own 2 eyes.

No he's not... he's just the most experienced.

People keep making this assumption and have not done any homework on Brian Maurer.

So we're waiting for a Freshman to save us next year?? After we lose 5 WRs??? Well why can't we do that THIS year?

And if JG plays all a season, what makes you think Pruitt will play Bailey over him?

 

[BenGrimm]

JG had a bad game and certainly contributed to the loss. But the team as a whole played bad. No excuse for the defense to give up 38 points to that team.

Nathan Peterman says hello

Dude oh my god. Peterman in the swamp is the worst thing I’ve ever seen. DEFCON 1 meltdown.

 

[DiderotsGhost]

NOTA.

JG didn't play that well, but he wasn't the primary reason we lost, he's still the best QB on the roster.

UNLESS ... the coaches are willing to experiment with Jauan Jennings at QB.

I am weirdly intrigued by the idea of trying out JJ at QB. He was technically recruited as a QB. Lost out as a Freshman in a QB competition that included Josh Dobbs, Q. Dormady, and Sheriron Jones. Switched over to WR and the rest is history. Might just be a crazy thought; maybe he's not good enough as a QB, but I love his passion and leadership. No one embodies toughness and a winning attitude like Jennings.

As a high school QB, seems like his biggest issue was accuracy, but weirdly he was not very mistake-prone. While he only completed 56% of his passes, he threw a mere 3 INTs in 222 attempts. Rushed for 877 yards. Threw 22 TD passes.

In all likelihood, JG is the more accurate passer, but Jennings brings leadership qualities and is a true dual threat. It's a crazy idea that probably doesn't happen, but might not be the worst idea to have him practice with the QBs a bit, and consider bringing him for a series or two, and seeing what happens.

(1) when a qb is referred to as a TRUE dual threat it means said qb is equally as accurate from a pocket as he is a threat to hurt you with his legs which is a rare combination. (Ex. Aaron Rodgers, Steve Young, Pat Mahommes)
(2) it’s clear you don’t trust either of our backups and that’s understandable given the narrative surrounding them. But what I don’t understand is how someone puts SO much trust into something they haven’t seen for themselves.

JG makes the Chaney look bad..

 

[Woodlawn VOL]

18 year old Bo Nix played for Auburn and looked terrible, but as the game went on he got better and made the plays in the end to win the game. If JG is not going to improve, we may as well put them in and hope they can. JG is in his 3rd year and is NOT improving he is making the same mistakes he made as a freshman. Stats in mop up time mean nothing, Nix stats sucked but he won. JG appears to have hit a ceiling and it is too low to be the QB at UT if this is it. I don't think the team has any confidence in JG, and that is not good. GBO!

 

['Boro-vol]

I see the transfer portal in his future.

 

[tbones0711]

If these JG homers rewatch the game sober they will be in for a surprise watching how bad this dude is and all of the opportunities they had to put GA state away early.

JG's ineptitude as a QB and field general allowed Ga State to stay in the game, be motivated, and play with fire. Bray put 21 on them with 7 more from a Neal by half im 2012. Thats how you dominate teams like GA State.

That should have been the game plan........jump out to a big lead using what we feel are our best players then start rotating and subbing 2nd stringers but that's hard to do when JG likely caused a turnover on the 2nd play of the game deep in our territory leading to a quick TD for GAST. If our line hasn't improved very much I'd play the QB that runs the fastest.

Nix was a composite 5 star (and on rivals), also the number 1 dual threat. If you're only going by 247, which Nix was a 4 star, then JG wasn't the number 1 DT QB either. He was number 4. That QB class was awful though, considering that he is probably the second best quarterback from that class behind Hurts. Also just cause BM runs a 4.5, doesn't mean he isn't a pocket passer. Andrew Luck ran a 4.6, which is still very fast for a quarterback, but here was clearly a pocket passer. It's not mutually exclusive. Weak argument there.

You would rather put JJ at QB after him playing receiver all these years than play a RS Fr or Fr QB? That's absolutely stupid. You have no idea how good these backups are besides the spring game. JG showed his old self in that game yet he was still the starter because he sure can practice well. At least the backups showed flashes of how much better they are in that game. If we're going to lose, we might as well do it with the younger QBs that actually have upside to them while JG chews on his nails again.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

I'm no JG apologist and I don't think he's outstanding by any means, but the amount of blame he is getting is quite stupid. The whole team is awful right now.
