They figured out that you just send an extra guy on the blitz because JG can’t read the field and get the ball out quickly. They did it over and over, but all he could do was stare down the first guy he looked at and force it. Basically what he’s done for like 5yrs now. You can’t be one dimensional against a defense like this and we decided we were gonna be pass happy early on.It won't be with a backup QB. JG played well today when he had time to throw minus one bad INT. The first fumble was also bad but he was just trying to make a play.
Fact, one can practice well and yet it doesn't translate to the playing field (JG) and vice verse. Difference between practice and live game is the speed and contact. Some just have the game day it factor that makes up for the poor practice performance. You can easily see the moment when JG checked out of the game this evening. He has no Moxy or swagger. He is the equivalent of a boxers sparring partner, nothing more.The point is he's the most ready, that's why he's playing. People think Pruitt has this like die hard loyalty to JG and it's just laughable.

You may have missed this, but Pruitt is responsible for that pig. He gets $3.9 million per year to be responsible for it.There is nothing I saw today that makes me want to act crazy and question Pruitt like people did after 0-2 start last year. Peeps are insane. Pruitt ain’t trying to put lipstick on this pig today.
And how many plays have you seen Bailey play? You don't know and neither do they. Ga qb today was nu. 3 on the depth chart at beginning of season, and because of covid and very poor play of the number 2 he gets to play. At least Kirby did change from 2 to nu. 3

Spoken like a true JG fanboy, sorry reality is a disappointment for you. You can be a tough competitor and still not be a leader, but I wouldn't expect someone like you to recognize leadership qualities. Also, blaming the line for his turnovers is a joke.Okay sure. JG checked out of the game? Why? Because he wasn't smiling and all happy his oline decided not to block from him? Dude give it up. THERE IS NO OTHER QB. So it's waste of breath. And it's not fair to JG to put all of the blame on him. Dude is one of the toughest competitors on the team and you implied he checked out and quit? Good grief
And coaches are gonna play the dude that practices the best. You have to. If another QB practices better than JG, he will play. It ain't rocket science

How else would you explain why he is still trotting him out there to play?? What about when the game was out of hand today, why not someone else, see what they could do? Not even giving them a chance when the game has been decided, I just don't understand that unless hc is afraid they will look better than jg.
