Agreed.
Don't think we have seen near the best from Guarantano.
Canales had to be one of the worst hires Jones could have possibly made.
I would like to see one of the grad transfers from that other thread come on board though. Think Shrout could use a red shirt year.
A few days ago, he didn't even know the young man existed.
However, sometimes it's easier not to feed the idiots and hope they move along as attention whores typically do. The more they get the attention they crave, the more they tend to stick around.
Well..another career jinxed.
I remember y'all laughing last year as well when I said Alvin Kamara was Marshall Faulk 2.0. Now look at him? Loads of people are now saying Kamara is the next Marshall Faulk.
Watch out for Julio Jones comparisons to start flying once Jordan Young starts playing for Tennessee.
Agree about Guarantano, hes gonna do nothing but get better with legitimate coaching. He made some outstanding throws last year...his biggest issue, by far, was not getting the ball out/holding onto the ball too long and taking sacks....and I dont think it was all on him.
He was trying to make plays from the pocket, even showed courage and poise to stand in there waiting for things to materialize downfield that never would/did. Im convinced that with better qb coaching, and improved OL and a better Offensive scheme, that well see a much improved JG.
And given that even with everything stacked up against him last year, he was still able to complete 62% of his passes and have good statistical success vs our SEC opponents, I think hes gonna prove to be a very good SEC QB we can win with.

Been saying this for awhile. Im not sure how anyone looks at him like hes definitely going to get better. What in his past makes you think he is a sure fire cant miss qb?I still doubt. Not based on physical ability. UT hasn't had a QB with his physical ability in quite a while.
Two things that are critical to success have not been proven.
One, his attitude. When it didn't go his way, he sulked and was a bad teammate. When he became the starter, he ran off at the mouth and started making promises that he was nowhere close to being good enough to make happen. If ALL of what we saw from him in the GT game is not gone... then he's not the guy to lead UT to success.
Two is related. He had a physical advantage and sufficient time... and was so badly outworked by Dormady that Jones couldn't come up with an excuse to make him the starter until QD played poorly and got hurt... in whichever order that occurred. Once he became the starter, that lack of work manifested itself in the lack of trust the staff had in opening up the O with him.
Basically if he's ever to become an SEC caliber QB, he's got to grow up... and time is NOT on his side. If UT snags the kid for Wagner or if the CA kid is as natural as some claimed... JG pretty much has to become a man right now.
Disagree, he does have breakaway speed. Looks like Josh Malone 2.0. High ceiling.
Read an article referenced on here somewhere that said he played behind two 1200+ yard receivers last year, and did a lot of work over the summer. Also that grades weren't the best , but his test scores were good. Will try to find the article.Tennessee may have found diamond in the rough with WR Jordan YoungHope he's good but we've been burned too many times by Butch finding a 'diamond in the rough' player - At least this one is a 4 star and not a 2 star.
Isn't it weird the kid went from unranked to top 200 Nationally that quickly. Grades got better??
Just saw his highlights. All I gotta say is WOW. He looks like Julio Jones when he was at Alabama.
Jordan Young = Julio Jones 2.0
He's a future NFL superstar.
Does someone really have to remind you of all of the ridiculous stuff you said that did not come true?
