People need to understand that if Maurer was the better QB then our coaches would start him

[Bigun]

This idea that coaches dont play the player that gives them the best chance to win is as ludicrous as that guys story about Ryan Johnson.

This is not a defense of CJP, but only Butch would be stupid enough to do that.

A rule of life is that without change there cannot be improvement.
I don't approve change for the sake of change but something needs to happen.

Uhh, huh.

He may not look better in practice, but we don't know how he'll look when it counts. Won't hurt to find out at this point.

 

[RTYABHSHTM]

If he’s worse than what we saw Saturday then he should not be on scholarship.

 

[JoAllan]

Sometimes........just sometimes talent doesn’t win the day.

I get what you are saying, and I’m kind of ok with it for now; however sometimes if your talent isn’t working you got to give less talent a chance. Maybe less talent simply gets it done because they had more will power, or more of a motor.........or maybe they flop.

Again I’m ok for now (as the season is going to be a bad wash) but if the talent keeps losing or keeps regressing then a change is needed, even if you have to put in “mr. less talented.”

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

Didnt people say the same thing about Dobbs when Worley was starting?

 

[Kinglberry]

Nathan Peterman, nuff said. Some guys are amazing in practice, crappy on the field. Others have the opposite issue, except with our guys, they never see the field.

You act like coaches don't pull this kind of sh*t ALL THE TIME.

They do.

Maybe JG is the best. Maybe not. Pruitt not playing the backup is not proof positive of that however

 

[EconVol92]

You have great practice players and great game players. Now they should be one and the same, but not always. If the other two QBs are worse than what JG has shown thus far we are in it deep.

I agree with you. However, while still retaining some youth, I'm old enough to know....some people develop much quicker than others. My guess, simply a guess..the reason JG is better is due to others not knowing schemes/plays, not that JG is necessarily better at his craft. Again, I don't know, just trying to make sense of all this, and that makes sense to me.

Tyler Bray and Josh Dobbs says hello

 

[BeardedVol]

This staff couldn't figure out who the best 5 offensive linemen were after spring and fall camps. They area still swapping players between offense and defense in the second week of the season.

What makes you so sure that they know what they are doing when they are evaluating QBs?

 

[JazzMaster001]

"Insanity Is Doing the Same Thing Over and Over Again and Expecting Different Results" - an idiot, apparently.

 

[CBR07]

Team really needs a spark. I’d make a change, but what do I know. I’ll just say this, if josh Dobbs was the QB Tennessee would be undefeated to this point. Just an example that Tennessee needs a playmaker under center! JGs had plenty of chances.

How are you so confident in our coaching staffs ability to nake decisions that will lead to wins?

 

[Hacksaw]

Maurer might not be better right now, but if he's got more upside then he can learn a lot by playing that he'll never learn watching from the sideline. We already lost two games we were supposed to win. What do we have to lose?

The world is imperfect and coaches don't always correctly identify who the best player is, Aight.

 

[Tennesseefan2019]

I think either Maurer,Shrout or both could possibly transfer after the 2019 season.

 

[R481967]

We have a winner!

How can they fairly evaluate them in a practice where they don't throw into coverage? It's painfully obvious in a game that JG can NOT do that. How do they know one of the other guys aren't better in game when they don't get a chance? We might win Saturday, might, and I assure you that's it for the year if JG continues to be our quarterback.

That's it, just because JG looks good at practice he is starter and I've saw 2 yrs of same HE FREEZES UNDER THE LIGHTS ON SATURDAY I agree it wouldn't hurt
to take a look at someone else...……………..

 

[Vfl2407]

If he’s worse than what we saw Saturday then he should not be on scholarship.

Same goes for Shrout and the Maryland transfer (who I still don’t understand why we got him if he couldn’t play this season).

 

[goooooovols]

Ok but JG basically is handing off the ball or throwing late into traffic.... literally anybody could do that...

I can tell you from watching our spring game that Maurer will make mistakes but has twice the football IQ that Gauratano has shown
