Is Maurer your son or do you have a bet on him winning the job? I have nothing against him other than he's played in very few games and has gotten hurt basically every time he gets a shot. I love his attitude and the team does to but if you cannot stay on the field then well......The MSU and Bama injury were the SAME INJURY. You're being dishonest and twisting the facts. There's only one reason you would do that. You are determined not to like the kid.
Yeah. They claimed he had a hamstring injury last year. The announcers repeated it often. Then just after they said it... Pruitt put him in specifically to run a zone read.
I'm not sure how legitimate it was since Pruitt's results were so poor from an offensive and QB perspective. But there were reasons.Guys unfortunatly there was legitimate reasons why nobody could unseat Guarantano.....we are extremely in need of some transfer portal QBs
Nope. I just don't see people taking unfair shots at the other two. And I do like the underdog which he seems to be.Is Maurer your son or do you have a bet on him winning the job?
He got a concussion in a freak play. He took a shot that knocked the breath out of him in the UGA game but was cleared to return. Pruitt made the call to keep him out.|I have nothing against him other than he's played in very few games and has gotten hurt basically every time he gets a shot.

Ok are you a quarterback coach? You just seem to think you know a lot about each QB's specific set of skills.No. I am going primarily off what we've seen from them in games plus various practice reports/sources from various angles of bias. Did I claim or imply that I attended practice? If I had that info and could tell it here... it would be a lot more detailed and specific.
Amen. Worst poster on the board imoHere the thing...it had nothing to do with you...at all..it is a mag board and his msg was directed to someone directly....its all part of the pissing contest you have with everyone you disgaree with..then you make some snarkey smarta** remarks...little cool emoji like a school girl and you feel better about yourself....congrats butchna you got the biggest opinion on the board. Happy??
This. And I'm going to go out on a limb.....
No one in this thread was ever runner up for the Heisman as a QB. Heupel was.
No one in this thread ever coached a Heisman winning QB. Heupel did.
I'll go out on the limb and say the decision Josh Heupel makes about his starting QB will be the best possible pick among the candidates.
I’m not Mr. Maurer. I meant it as a way of calling out Austin Price if that’s your choice of who to believe in reports but admittedly it wasn’t well presented. As for sjt18, he has a very unique, neutral way of criticism and praise and his opinions are justified through facts of actual events. He seems to allow facts to come together before posting his opinions and will admit when he’s wrong. I happen to respect that.Thanks Mr. Maurer.
agree, he played qb, he knows its not easy. Pruitt praised taking care of the ball, yet when JG would throw stupid interceptions he'd do nothing. still makes me mad how fast he'd pulll other guys but not JG.Your are spot on....I think at this point I personally expect turnovers...QB and recievers are new to each and have to develop that connection...I also think CJH will put up with ints if the positives outweigh the negatives
Heupel, granted not calling plays then, as the OU QB threw 30 ints in 972 attempts. He was not a reckless passer but had a 60+% completion rate.agree, he played qb, he knows its not easy. Pruitt praised taking care of the ball, yet when JG would throw stupid interceptions he'd do nothing. still makes me mad how fast he'd pulll other guys but not JG.
Amen. Worst poster on the board imo
Thanks and no.I will make this observation, I hope it is neutral and I genuinely don't mean to insult anyone. It is just something that I have observed, maybe no one else has. I lurked on this board for many years and I read everything by everyone related to football. I used to think that Behr and butchna were the two best football posters. Now I hardly see Behr anymore and as for butchna, he/she has truly gotten argumentative and snarky. I would say that's been happening for about a year now. Butchna i appreciate your football insights but you sort of fight with everybody and use memes to make your points. Soften your edge a little bit, because you have a lot to contribute to VN!
How many QB's are in the portal that most would consider an upgrade? Are there any no brain-ers left that would be instant starters if they transferred here?They also said they thought we'd be keeping our eyes on the portal.
247 isn't trash like Calhoun or atoznashcrap, but they aren't above throwing sh!t at the wall to see what sticks.If we are keeping eyes on the portal it means the coaches do not like what they are seeing. It may turn out differently by the first game but the odds are we do not have a quality Qb on the roster. That’s what my take is on 247’s opinions.
That speaks volumes about our last staff and their lack of coaching ability. Guess we know now why JG was the QB so long. Unreal that these kids weren't being given basic coaching!'I was really surprised by how much time Halsey had to spend on rudimentary things like footwork and other fundamentals. These are things college QB's should already be adept at'
I agree that just because 247 posts something it doesn’t mean it’s 100% accurate. They are in the business of increasing traffic to their sites.I'm catching up with this thread so this has probably been discussed already.

Other than, every coach is always watching the portal for talent, I hope there isn't anything to that.

Will this work in the SEC? Against many, with a quality QB, I think it might. Against Saban's damn near NFL quality defensive communication, you're going to need an NFL quality QB to match up.
