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?
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.
Maybe he won't have to loft them up with so much air if he knows the wrs aren't running in molasses
Or maybe they physically weren't able to hit a great level of play.One could easily make the argument they weren’t really good or great because of the guys distributing the football.
I think you might be reaching a little bit now by questioning what many thought was a main strength of our team last season. I don’t think many share the opinion that the wide receiver group let JG down a lot. In fact, I think most see it the other way around. If we’re putting our hopes in a younger, faster group then we need to see some higher levels of manipulating the D, because I don’t think we’ve seen that yet. Those 10 to 25 yard intermediate balls need to be better so that those guys make plays and get some yacs. I don’t think it’s wrong to be skeptical.
They were slow af. That is literally a fact that has been proven."wrs aren't running in molasses"?
The same receivers that had to completely stop, turn around, and sometimes actually come back to the often under-thrown ball? They are running in molasses?
The generating the all that cognitive dissonance you have to muster before you post must be exhausting.

Maybe he floated passes to allow them time to get there and use their strengths to make plays.
Their strengths were going up to win jump balls. Even in scouting reports they have called them jump ball wrs in the NFL.
You have to play to the players talents.
We're talking about him being able to unseat JG though. The layoff is not helping him either, and he hasn't exactly been one of our better QBs over the last few years, or couple of decades, or ever either.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.
Who knows, maybe we’ll see an extended fall practice allowance or something. I’m not counting on it though.
What are you trying to prove here? Do you understand team sports or do you not understand at all? In '17 and '18 we did not have a single position group that was top half of the conference, most were bottom 3. Every single position grouping including QB played major roles in those 2 years being some of the worst years in Tn history. Every groups bad play affected other position groups level of play making for a bad football team. '19 was the 1st time in 3 seasons that we had top half of the league talent at a few position groupings as we had top half talent at LB, Secondary, Special teams, and borderline top half SEC talent at DL, WRs and QB (whether you like him or not his stats, production and wins place him top half last year). We produced 8, should have been 10, wins last season with a very scattered roster and with JG playing the majority of the snaps at QB. In '20 we will have top half talent at OL, QB, DL, LB, DB and special teams (I think RB could be top half in '20) and could possibly have top 3 groups at OL, DL, LB, Secondary and Special teams. It's not unrealistic I believe to think that each position group will improve simply because the rest of the team around them has improved. There is no reason for me to believe that we will not be improved at nearly every phase of the team next year, including being better at the WR position, and could be in for a special 10+ win season with JG at QB which in turn will catapult us into the Harrison Bailey era of hopefully SEC championships and more. The fact that you've given up on VFL Guarantano doesn't mean anything at all, especially if the head football coach keeps running him out there.Poor play is never JGs fault. Its been multiple OCs. Poor OLine..now slow WR.
At what point does it stop
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.

So in other words you’re saying Shrout and Maurer SHOULD have under thrown theirs as well?They were slow af. That is literally a fact that has been proven.

It’s like y’all have a QB thread bat signal and meet up and post from a script.
They should have thrown accurate passes and not threw a ton of interceptions. That is what they should have done. Instead they were an abysmal 48.1% for Shrout and a absolute horror show at 46.7% for Maurer with interceptions that more than doubled tds.So in other words you’re saying Shrout and Maurer SHOULD have under thrown theirs as well?
Just stop..... you’re making a fool of yourself........again.They should have thrown accurate passes and not threw a ton of interceptions. That is what they should have done.
