Maurer starts at some point this season and keeps the starting the job. Yes, he made some bad mistakes today but he just has the IT factor.
He is way better than J.G. but needs some time to adjust.
Agree....go on record now.
Disagree....go on record now.
We will then find out who is right at the end of the season.
I watched JG intently both on the field and on the sidelines hoping I would see a new and improved version of him, but here are some things that lead me to believe it’s the same ol’, same ol’.
- His first few series were uneventful, unproductive and ho hum..
- At the end of the day, it’s all about getting the ball in the end zone. Not sure he’ll ever be the guy that can make those crucial plays when needed..
- He still doesn’t get the ball out on time and never will. Just doesn’t have a sense of urgency. - However, he only had 3 interceptions last year
- Still a sitting duck.
- Here’s my biggest issue: If you’ve played team sports, you’ll understand this: Yesterday, JG was sitting on the bench and on several occasions, coaches and players came over to talk to him. On each of these occasions, JG aloofly turned his head and stared in a different direction with a “leave me the **** alone” smirk on his face. Prima Donna..
- Just don’t see us beating good teams with him at the helm, and I still don’t think he could start for any other SEC team. However, today....he’s our best chance to win.
Maurer -
- I obviously didn’t like the picks, but do think Maurer has potential and a good upside.
- I liked his energy, enthusiasm, sense of urgency and his quick and accurate release.
- I liked the fact that he makes things happen. He’s dynamic. I liked that he drove the team down the field on his first possession and scored. Didn’t like that we couldn’t punch it in.
- I like the fact that he senses breakdowns and instead of just taking a sack, he picks up yards with his legs. His scrambling ability brings a new and exciting dimension to our offense.
- Hope he keeps improving..
