I hadn’t really thought about it until today but not having spring practice has to increase the already high odds that JG is our starting quarterback this year.
A spring quarterback competition ending in an Orange and White Game showdown would have been fun.

That makes sense. For freshmen QB's, you don't know what you don't know. I am wondering if JG was greatly assisted by #1 and #15 because of their ability to catch passes and will suffer without them OR was their lack of blazing speed hampering JG and with faster receivers he will be greatly improved?
Can a team win the east with a freshman QB? Maybe, but the odds would be low.
I just think lack of spring really hurts an incoming freshman quarterback. It seems to me the chances of seeing him get any meaningful playing time took a nosedive when it was all cancelled.JG will start the season and I agree that was going to happen either way. The question is how long will it last? I predict we'll see HB early in the season. If there is one.

They were good but not great. They will be mid round picks.You think that losing 2 NFL caliber wide receivers will be beneficial to JG?

It would be interesting to know if a freshman, who didn’t go through spring practice, has come into a program in the SEC and had a meaningful season at quarterback. Maybe it’s happened? I have no idea.
Did you see the combine performances that JJ and MC had? We had to have the slowest starting tandem in the SEC.
I’m not talking about freshmen in general. I’m specifically referring to guys who didn’t go through spring practice before their freshman year. Every one of those guys you mentioned enrolled early and went through spring practice.Freak...it's happened for 5 QBs in the past 4 years
Eason and Hurtz in 2016
Had Tua and Frohm in 2017.
2019 had Bo Nix.
Why do we go through this every off-season?? How many times does it need to happen for us to see a Freshman QB can have a huge impact?

The guys coming in could be better. That is one of the teams biggest question marks. They should be much more explosive and faster this year.
Depending on playcalling and execution they may be better for the qb this year whoever it is.
Because in the best passing game of JG's career, the receivers' abilities to catch his passes had nothing to do with it being his best passing game?
Good or better overall. Yes. Based on ratings and potential they could be as good or better than a couple of mid to late round picks.That's pure speculation that our young guys are going to be as good or better at going up and fighting for those lofted balls that JG tends to throw.
