JG vs Harrison Bailey

Thrashing someone is claiming they are intellectually inferior to a player they clearly are better than in every way.

That is what you did to Dobbs and JG. So I'm just speaking facts that have been proven by results on the field and who started over who. You keep trashing the better player.
Saying a starting qb is better than his backup's backup is not bashing. Grow a pair and stop being a hypocrite.
But that’s not always the case K-Town. Can you honestly say Eli is BETTER than Daniel Jones at this point? No you can’t. Eli just earned his right to start with what he’s done in the past and I can think of several other similar situations. Just because JG is starting doesn’t mean he’s “better”. It means he’s the most experienced of the remaining options and he’s EARNED his right to prove himself.
 
Too late. That’s the issue. So many people have no idea what we have sitting on our sidelines. Maurer may throw some picks but I can assure you he’ll light up the scoreboard as well.

I've been hyping Brian Maurer since December? Everyone knows this now.

Let me tell you something. Many people on here watched that UF vs Miami game lol.
Many who repeatedly say JG is the best option BY FAR on the roster. They watched the Gators D-Line get after it last night. I guarantee you they are starting to agree with me just a bit after watching that game.

True Freshman Brian Maurer is our ONLY chance to beat Florida this year and next.

Your delusions are making you incoherent also. This statement makes no sense and has no bearing on anything I have ever said.

That is what you did to Dobbs and JG.
No it isn't. I really don't know what you were trying to say but Dobbs was one of the smartest guys to ever play QB for anyone. I only said that Dobbs wasn't accurate "in the strike zone". I'll stand by that. He wasn't as UT's QB. He improved as a passer but he wasn't a precision passer.

So I'm just speaking facts that have been proven by results on the field and who started over who.
You haven't spoken "facts". You have parsed a few facts to manipulate them to support your false narrative. You are a fundamentally dishonest person. How many posts is this now since you said you weren't responding to me any more twice? All you have to do is put me on ignore and then don't pay attention to my conversations with anyone else... and you just can't do it.

You keep trashing the better player.
Only an abject moron or liar thinks I've "trashed" either player. Criticizing what they do wrong isn't "trashing". I've been respectful to the players. You haven't earned and do not deserve respect.
Saying a starting qb is better than his backup's backup is not bashing. Grow a pair and stop being a hypocrite.
Based on this response, I seriously doubt you know what a hypocrite is. Now, go look it up and try to claim that you used the word properly. That's another big problem with you- you don't know when to stop or how to admit you were wrong.

Your point was that JG was better because he was rated higher. That's not necessarily true. But you have to bash anyone in any comparison or competition with JG. Your behavior is cultic.

Yeah.. Daniel Jones was a bad pick and mediocre college qb. Eli was the number one pick.

Also Eli is 100 years old. Not exactly the same.

I gotta admit you crossed my mind seeing Miami’s o line in damn near the same situation as ours. I hope we can handle them better up front and I hope Wanya was watching. But that looked like BMs o line in Hs if anyone wants to know how bad it was. My only concern is if he’d be mentally ready and the people writing him off if the answer is no. I wouldn’t want to see him under that kind of pressure should the Florida game be the first time touching the field.

Many would disagree with how Jones looks so far. Age isn’t the point. The point is Jones is better “right now” but it’s Eli’s team.

Some schools can get to the College Football Playoff with a game manager at quarterback: Alabama, Georgia, Oklahoma, Ohio State, Florida State. They can recruit at such a level that allows them to dominate the trenches and control the game. Other schools can't do that: Oklahoma State, Mississippi State, TCU, Michigan State, Tennessee, etc. These schools need a playmaker at quarterback to compete at the highest level.

I think it's safe to say JG is a game manager, which I think will serve him well as an NFL prospect, but Tennessee needs a playmaker at the position. That brings me to Harrison Bailey. Before yesterday, I had JG penciled in as the starter for the next two years but after watching Bailey last nigh, I'm not so sure. This kid is legit. He's got elite arm talent, excellent pocket presence, and is very accurate even when throwing on the run. No doubt he's good enough to make Tennessee nationally relevant again, but is he good enough to unseat JG as the starter next year? I'm thinking it's going to be a battle...

JG plans on going pro after this season. He has already graduated.

Imho, unless his skills and abilities improve dramatically this season, he’s not ready for the NFL.
 
Need to Star a new thread,
“JG vs the Universe”
I’m not sure that there are many that don’t want JG to be successful. I think what we see isn’t necessarily “JG hate” but rather one point vs another that may come across as such. If we all stopped defending our points at “all costs” I think what we’ll find is there is truth to every point no matter the side you’re on.
 
IMO the jury is still out on JG. He’s had to deal with OC changes and played behind the absolute worst Oline in the history of Tennessee football...... toilet tissue offers more protection than last year’s oline

JG is the most experienced. He was ranked higher from a totally different class as is HB to BM. I have nothing against JG but anyone can see he was not only overhyped but also misplaced as a DT qb. Which only goes to show how much trust anyone should have in the services to begin with. Your defense that BM threw 43 passes a game only helps strengthen my point. It wasn’t a system that forced him to throw that many times. He had to put the team on his back to have a chance and his coaches knew that. And Did TL or HB at any point average 43 passes a game and still hold a 65+% competition rate? No. Have either of them ever been on a team that they were the ONLY player that an opposing def coordinator had to stop? No. The fact that BM put up comparable (and some better) numbers to TL against those odds is undeniable and indefensible.

Unfortunately yes. But That’s a Pruitt thing. He HATES turnovers and BM and JT will take chances which doesn’t always go their way. All I personally agree with is “there’s no substitute for experience”. (See Jaron Williams from Miami the other night) But I also agree that even though BM may be more talented he still needs about 10 more lbs of weight and a better understanding of the playbook. Otherwise people will call for Pruitts head if he made a change and it didn’t go well at first. JG has earned his right to play himself out of the #1 spot should it happen.

He really played 10 and a half games.

But yes.

When your returning starter set the record for least ints, completed over 62 percent, almost 8 ypa, and a rating of 140 plus you are usually excited and optimistic.

No coach is benching a returning starter with those numbers. I don't know what some of you are on. LMAO

We have no way of knowing that Maurer does or does not know and understand the playbook. Maurer is 193 lbs., and has scrambling ability. Seniority does not “earn the right” to play. Pruitt has Coached defense at winning schools. Alabama only needed serviceable quarterbacks, Tennessee needs great quarterbacks.

He’s actually 205 now if my source is correct but I think what’s holding him back more than anything is his gunslinger mentality. He’s gotta learn that he doesn’t have to do it all in his own like he did in HS along with situational football. Pruitt would hypothetically rather see a wide open dump off for 5 yards and a punt than to take a chance downfield with only 2 yards of separation. If we’re down 7 in the second or third I agree with that. He needs to learn to live to fight another down vs when to take chances. I just hope they’re not trying to get that killer mentality out of him completely because like I said, although he may throw a pick or 2 more hell Light up a scoreboard in a heartbeat.

I agree. I'm not saying Bailey will be that, just saying it's possible for a freshman to be so good he takes the job year one.
That’s the exception rather than the rule. I thought Fields would unseat Fromm and he didn’t come close. Being able to read a defense and make the proper reads is just as important as the physical traits.

Most everyone around here where i live in Georgia thought the same about Fields.
