Well the number of votes are higher than the number of voters by a few, so yeah.
About the question of transferring, it seems to be posed as if there's only two choices here. He has earned our respect, or he should transfer. I don't take the question from the standpoint of what our fans or team should want, but what's in his best interest. I think it's absolutely in his best interest to transfer as a fifth-year senior, play immediately somewhere with a fresh start, and let the rest of the quarterback drama play out here so we can get on with our future. That's what I would tell him.
I agree there. Did you see the response about "what's his decision got to do with his family"? Lol.No. I don’t think so. I just think people should stay in their lane, and leave the football decisions to players and coaches. I get pissed off everytime I read some of the d.a. Things people come up with to speculate on.
In my humble opinion, the "game has slowed down" for Jarret Guarantano. He is processing action quicker, he is learning from his coaches, and he is growing as a leader. The poll wasn't directed at JG, who I think will lead this team through next year. This poll was directed at the fans. Almost 25% of the 420 votes cast by the fan base (represented in this poll) are in favor of some type of separation of JG from our fair University. I am surprised by this, but each fan has his own reasons for voting.
It's true the game might be slowing down for him. But why did it take so long?He's a junior with plenty of playing time. It could also be that the competition it's not as good this late in the season. What if we had to play Florida again next week? Or Alabama?. I'm going to give credit where credit is due. He has definitely helped us pull out out a few games lately. However you have to take everything into consideration including the competition.In my humble opinion, the "game has slowed down" for Jarret Guarantano.

Great post I feel, spot on!This young man is a very solid VFL. I like him as part of the GBO family no matter what he chooses to do after this year. In my opinion, he is a perfect example of why we shouldn’t rush talent to the field. If he’d watched his freshman year and maybe half his sophomore year, he’d be everyone’s favorite right now. Facts are these:
-he can absolutely spin the damn ball
-he loves the game and running thru the T
-he’s tough as isht
-he’s got a desire to be good maybe great and a work ethic to match
-his teammates vouch, even his competitors at the position
-he has the most firm grasp on the offensive concepts he’s been given, from way too many OC’s
-he don’t chuck bottles
-he has displayed bad body language, but I’ve seen worse (I realize that’s more subjective than factual)
-he’ll finish his career in our top 10 in many significant QB categories (I know, Jalen Hurd is top 3 in all the rb categories)
-he’s still here competing...
So let’s see how this plays out and trust what he’s displayed quantifiably as a catalyst for “what’s possible” with him.
We don't agree on much but I agree, I think this is the most likely scenario, and maybe what's best for us down the road. It would set us up at QB for at least 3 maybe 4 years and would allow us time to recruit the next one.If JG does stay, and Harrison Bailey keeps his commitment, I'd wager Maurer and Shrout are both gone considering that Pruitt brought in Kasim Hill to compete for the position in 2020.
Great post I feel, spot on!
