Pruitt not benching JG. Says he’s the best QB on the roster

If this is true...(nobody better, including Maryland transfer)

It is a sad case.

EDIT: My bad, I forgot Hill isn't available this year...

STILL...sad to read that the backups aren't better than what we've seen from Guarantano.

 

[MadWorld]

Gonna be a long(er) season then. Hope he starts throwing it to our guys, instead of their guys.

Then Pruitt has likely sealed his fate. Not because he isn’t benching JG now, but because he failed to recruit over him.

There you have it! Phil please bench Pruitt

 

[chuckb1448]

Is what it is as unfortunate as it is

 

[brubaker]

He is clueless..... Hutch Jones part 2.....

 

[The Original Fade]

Greg McElroy agrees for what it’s worth

 

[Sara Clark]

Then I have to assume he's the best (at this point).

Hey Vols. I'm not here to talk junk Tennessee is my second favorite SEC team because my bro lived up there for awhile when Andy Kelly was the QB. I almost went to school there but I couldn't turn on my hometown school.

Anyway I understand your frustration with JG. We got lucky that Bentley got hurt. I wish him nothing but the best but he was not getting the job done. Very similar situations with both those guys. Played behind terrible lines and got their heads knocked off early in their careers. They both have the tools but are shell shocked and will never recover.

Wish you the best going forward besides our tilt. Good luck

Jarret done practice really good. Can’t bench him.

Shrout and Mauer should hear this and transfer...what incentive do they have to stay here if they have to sit behind JG as bad as he is?

 

[Tennesseefan2019]

Jeremy Pruitt is a freaking idiot

 

[james_govols]

Yikes.

He isn't even going to try and give another QB some snaps this week?

 

[MurphyVol]

1-11

I agree they should transfer it's in their best interests to do so!

JG obviously looks better in practice than when it counts. How do we know the youngsters aren't exactly the opposite ? How do the coaches know ? Heck, we could have beat either of the 2 teams we've played with a QB that could execute 6 plays well - we don't have to play someone that we need to open the whole playbook with - just put them in the damn game and let them EXECUTE simple stuff and not throw it to the other team, fumble, slide 3 yds B4 the first down or just outright CHOKE when at game speed !!!!

 

[JazzMaster001]

Coaching malpractice. Fire him with cause!

 

[TJVol95]

McElroy assumes he can be coached up. There is no evidence of that happening.

 

[Proud Army Wife]

Im sorry, I must've missed the link where he said this.

 

[CA_Vol]

Ridiculous. Stands will be half empty. Players and fans could rally around a young guy. Nearly everyone is done with JG, and rightly so.

 

[TechnoVol]

Do y'all really expect him to say anything else in a press conference? No head coach is going to let a QB who isn't performing keep playing. Internally, I believe this is an entirely different story.

 

[Volhoops]

Then he is either lying or can't evaluate talent.

 

[JMSqb11]

He said no such thing.
