POLL: TO BENCH OR NOT TO BENCH JG - POST WEEK 2 (merged)

[GrizzlyVol]

He has a big family.

I guess so

 

[JCHateSteve]

I've supported JG to this point. But I'm done after last night. Line play was better and the passing game was just as bad. Time to cut bait and use the Nooga game to break in one of the backups. I thank JG for the beatings he's taken the last few years. But we've seen his ceiling.

 

[KSVOL]

Getting close to 800 votes to bench him.

 

[ATLVols]

Benching him is the right answer. And it’s not a knee jerk reaction.

It’s just the fact that we have no confidence in him throwing it down the field. He has experience, but it’s bad experience. Would be better with a freshman QB at this point.

 

[RockyTopJewel]

I've been able to buy into the excuses up to this point-- young and inexperienced, no offensive line protection, etc. Now with JG being in the program for so long, and being a much more seasoned starter, I don't buy the young qb mentality. He has regressed if anything. And our o line guys are head and shoulders above what we have had. He has plenty of time to make solid decisions and seems to get worse and worse. What choice do you have besides next man up? You've given him every tool to have at least some measure of success and yet here we are 0-2 at the hands of ga state community technical school and BYU.

 

[AM64]

Okay let me rephrase.

JG is not smart enough to play QB and be successful.

I'm not sure it has anything to do with intelligence as much as a mental block when he's faced with action on the field ... like someone who knows the subject but simply can't perform on a test. JG looks like someone who has been coached well past his limits or performance ... probably starting with a dad who thought he could make him into a great QB. It's one of those situations that always makes me cringe when a coach comes out with words of wisdom like "the most qualified guy on game day is the guy who does the most in practice."

Quarterback play is crippling the Tennessee rebuild
If you’re only as good as your quarterback.... Tennessee is in trouble.

Everyone is seeing it. Let’s hope Pruitt does.

 

[FLVOL_79]

JG stats so far:

487 yards. 4 TD. 2 INT. QBR 47.3

Let's see, JR QB.

Still unable to progress past one read.
Still throws every pass late because he is afraid of making a mistake.
Still makes awful decisions
Still stares down receivers

Yes, he needs to be benched. Lol.

 

[KrazyVolFan]

I can't believe 37 people voted no, must feel sorry for him. I think he has had every chance to improve. Time to get next man up a chance or both of them a shot.

 

[HoptownVol]

Even I've seen enough.

Family and friends

 

[vol769]

I keep it anonymous so that its more statistically accurate for those few that do vote differently, and still 140 to 3

Let me guess JG, his girlfriend and his Mom

 

[Weezer]

JG's play is certainly not helping us, and I'm ready to see what another QB can do in a game situation, but I doubt Pruitt gives a damn about our opinion.

 

[OrangeSquid]

Can't disagree with the article except one thing: To say there isn't anything much behind JG isn't a fact. They haven't played in anything of substance to base that on. The same was said of Josh Dobbs when he was on the bench. Funny how he worked out to help pad Butch Jones wins for a few seasons. We won't know what we have until we try them. UTC is the perfect game to do this.

 

[TheVolsFrog]

I'm shocked 32 people don't think he should be benched

Well you gotta count for his parents, family and girlfriend and her family votin for him

 

[GrizzlyVol]

Has to be

 

[ButchBettaBeGone]

What's the odd of JP pulling JG out and switching QB for UTC?

 

[AM64]

Slim and none. I'm wondering which Vol fan payed the BYU player to put that hit on JG.

 

[Volunt33rs]

Last night

Sounds like it's time for Fulmer to pull a Bud Adams and tell Pruitt you're playing one of the others guys. Like Bud did with Fisher and VY

 

[tennesseeduke]

Ok who’s the idiot?

Apparently there are 39 of them now! Stupidity reigns!

 

[Illinoisvolfan2]

Yesterday Mason changed QB in the second quarter. Their starter was sucking and he made a change.

 

[Doctrippin]

I feel sorry for Juan Jennings -- the most passionate Vol of this decade, and he's going to go out on a losing team.
