How can you judge a young QB that had horrible coaching, no protection, in an atrocious offense, on a fractured and disinterested football team, under an unexperienced offensive coordinator who proved incapable? Where can you find any absolutes about this kid?

This^^^ really. I saw real flashes of quality from JG and when he gets into it his enthusiasm is infectious.
Will new coaching channel his inner All Pro QB?

Bigger Issue is can OLine issues be fixed anytime soon.
Aaron Rogers would have struggled behind 17s Injuries to OLine, regardless of system

Yah. That's how we roll at Tennessee. Wait. What? Pruitt did not get the memo?

Yeah, I believe Pruitt got the memo. The one that says “you got a young, talented Qb who can make all the throws who badly needs some legit, D1, SEC QB coaching and he can be a really good QB at UT. However, you badly need some more talent and bodies in the QB room, and an experienced former starter Grad QB would be great as insurance and competition in that QB room”.

And btw, Erik Ainge agrees. When asked about Chryst this morning he said the biggest thing Chryst does is compete with McBride for the backup. That the competition will be a good thing for JG as well, but that he’s essentially providing depth and insurance at the QB position and until further notice really isn’t a threat to compete for the starting job.

Memo indeed.

LOL, Erik Ainge also was one of Butch's biggest defenders. Said he was a great coach on numerous occasions and never should have been fired. Then in true Erik Ainge fashion he turned on Butch, when public opinion roasted him for his defense of Jones. I'm just saying, using Ainge to try and validate a point, leaves a lot to be desired.

He was brought in to start.. and he will

You don't bring in a guy who won't take a snap until fall to be the for sure starter. He could get here and bomb. I'm sure he will get a look though

If anyone watches, chances are that every SEC team will have to use at least 2 QBs every season. QBs who go all 12 games in this league are a rarity. It happens but more often injuries occur

Yea. And with our line issues we need experienced depth. We don't need another MCBride sighting.

54% passer this year with 123 passer rating.

JG: 62% with a 128 passer rating.

This is an upgrade how?

He’s in no way an upgrade imo. He’s an experienced D1 qb who adds depth and competition. He’ll battle McBride and Shrout to be JG’s backup. He’s a good insurance policy and should be able to perform relatively well and run the offense should JG be injured again.

After a little research, it's obvious that he has some real intangibles: excellent facial symmetry, strong jawline, proportionate nose. The kid has "NFL" written all over him.

Do we know if he’s D4H’s “type”?

Some of you guys have a lot of confidence in JG as being the starter. I would say, just my opinion, that the QB position is wide open right now with no one being a front runner. Let the competition begin and the best man win.

You just defined "suck QB".

If a QB is "a backup" and "serviceable" then guess what? He sucks.
Click to expand...

Good grief. Pretty much every quarterback who’s ever played college football was at one time a “backup” and, prior to getting experience and growing into the position were “serviceable”. In 1994, the guy who is now considered to be the greatest QB in Tennessee and perhaps SEC history, was both at first a backup and serviceable.

As far as Chryst is concerned, in limited time/starts at Stanford, he threw for 19 touchdowns vs 6 interceptions.....in what world does that “suck”?

This seems like the Saban game manager type of QB that he used at the beginning of his run at Alabama. He could be a safe and stable choice at QB if no one can break away as a winner. Hopefully we never have to find out and somebody will emerge as a natural fit for the offense.

That's the first thing that crossed my mind also. Smart game manager, pro style QB, Pruitt taking a page from Saban's playbook shouldn't be a surprise. It's a solid move though, whether he starts or not. We sure needed the depth.
