Pruitts qb reasoning? (Lengthy)

Don’t forget we was down by 14 points with 1:00 minute left so I say the last TD and 60 yards was after the game had already been decided!!!

Granted... but again (and again and again) I'm not putting those numbers out there saying it was an epic performance. I'm saying if you thought he was the starter going into the 1st game, he probably wasn't bad enough to change your mind mid-game and stick a freshman in.

So, an upper classman plays while freshmen sit. It's the way things work; especially at QB.

Did you just climb out of a shell or something? Don’t say stupid stuff on here. Bo Nix, Jake Fromm, Tua, Jacob Eason, Peyton Manning, Tim Tebow, and the list goes on and on and on......... So what’s your point now?

You, like most blaming him aren't making sense or using facts.

Almost 8 ypa isn't throwing all short passes. You don't complete 65% for 300 yards with the average line and wrs we have if you throw a lot of uncatchable balls.

So you don't want a good qb, just a good team?

Y'all are hilarious.

Just wanted to point out that the one a lot of people are calling for had average WRs and an o line that

Brilliant list....
Fromm didn't play until Eason was hurt.
Eason got snaps early but was initially behind Grayson Lambert.
Tua was behind Jalen Hurts.
Manning was behind Colquitt.
Tebow was a situational guy in behind Chris Leak.

Nix is an anomaly, although it happens more now than in the past. The plan is to sit most freshmen early on; especially if there's an entrenched starter. I don't think that's really a controversial hot take.

...which was not what we were discussing. I'm not saying that freshmen can't be successful. It's just that it generally takes a few games before they get in and, right or wrong, they generally wait a little if there's an entrenched starter.

I'm sure the plan was to get a lead and then get the other QBs on the field in the 2nd half. My point was that once the game stayed tight and JG wasn't good but wasn't really that bad either, there wasn't much opportunity.

Correct which is why if we were to make a change, you do it now vs BYU and UTC instead of pulling a Butch and throwing a Peterman to the wolves in the Swamp for first live action

We get it. Maurer is your guy.

JG is not an elite QB and he took some snacks he shouldn't have and isn't the type that will take over a game... but when did 65%, 311 yards and 2 TDs become an argument for the backup QB?

We just got 38 hung on us by Ga State in our house. What are we even talking about here?

Problem with those stats, garbage stats, GA St had the win, no reason to do anything but play prevent defense. JG is not a good QB, said it last year, he never progressed, he stayed consistently inconsistent. Period.

We gotta start learning to put 2and 2 together on this one guys. As we all know practices are closed to the media and public. There’s a reason for that. So we only know what they WANT us to know. We know what we’re being spoon fed and we except it as truth. Although personally we’ve all gotten to witness a spring game with all involved that’s mandatory and 1 full game of nothing but JG.

Throughout spring and fall camp we’ve heard one narrative from our coach that promised us the best guys would play and the media that reports within guidelines (you can chose for yourself if you believe every word of what no one seen as complete truth).
That narrative is “The back ups are inconsistent.” And you would think JG is flawless. Believe what you wish but you can’t convince me JG hasn’t thrown erratically in practice nor can you convince me he hasn’t thrown ints. We’ve seen it in games. About two weeks ago CJP was quoted saying “the backups need to stop throwing the ball to the other team.” A few days later Weinke was quoted saying “they haven’t thrown many.”🤔. At this point we’ve seen JG perform twice. Both times he was as inconsistent as you would think any qb in the SEC could be. All of the same issues we all seen from last season, on display, once again, TWICE already in 2019.

In the spring game JG was as one point 2-9. That’s inconsistent. He struggled throughout the game with accuracy and finished just over 50%. That’s inconsistent. His TD pass to Palmer in the back of the end zone was contested with a wide open JJ underneath. That’s inconsistent or arguably consistently as bad as last year. He held the ball too long. Inconsistent. Took sacks. Inconsistent. In fact the ONLY “consistency” we PERSONALLY SEEN was BM. He started 5-5. Could’ve been 7-7 if not for a bobble OOB by a TE. He opened the second half with a bad mistake but responded with proof of a bad memory and the most beautiful throw of the day to J.Lowe. His second int is debatable if Keyton could’ve made that play and my answer is yes. But given what we all personally seen that day I have to ask if you would bet your paychecks that the white team comes out on top if JG and BM were the only 2 qbs? I know I would hesitate after seeing that.

Which brings me to my conclusion. This is a coaching tactic that’s backfired a bit. CJP has been using the media and himself to keep the competition for #2 as competitive as possible. All it’s done is create a false distrust in our backups with the fan base after seeing JGs performance. In fact I’d say they may be better in a lot of areas. The difference is experience and experience alone. Not talent. I think CJP knows that BM is our best chance to win OFFENSIVELY. But he’s a defensive minded coach. JGs style of play allows the game to have to be won DEFENSIVELY. Why else would you look at the top of the depth chart and see JG over BM for BYU after GAST? Pruitt wants to win with defense. And after looking at all the circumstances that’s the opinion I’ve come up with.

Brilliant. Wrong, but brilliant.

Why is JG the starting QB? Because he will transfer as soon as one of the young guys starts over him. That leaves us in a very bad situation going forward this year.
I think a few people may want to go back and watch this game again. O line wasn’t great but much improved in pass pro. JG was really bad. I promise you all that there is a locker room issue with this. The defense should never have to play so much against a team like that. We should have won that game 49-21 but we did not field a QB that can run an offense.

Two freshman QBs that have never played in college. That is a bit concerning.

Not really. I wonder if Georgia fans were concerned when Eason or Fromm played. Wonder how well that worked out for them? Oh wait....I think I know. Nevermind. Why would any team play a freshman at QB. It’s not like they could lead them to a bowl, or a conference championship or maybe even a national title. That is so far fetched that that could even happen. 🙄

Lethalgas,what you "know"is almost nothing.JGtakes a sack because he is so surprised that he has not been hit y2defensive players after1.8seconds.You must also firmly believe that "Milli-Vanillie"was the greatest duo of all time.Lethal has is a perfect name for your posts.

Thinking JG gets a half against BYU. If we down due to his misreads and not recognizing blitz then Mauer plays. Heck we've lost to teams playing RBs and Safeties at QB.

That doesn’t really hold up anymore since you can play up to 4 games in any order and still keep redshirt.
