I like your reply the best of all, but I would add that BM (since we are using initials) will also benefit greatly from a full year in the system.
Back to JG though...While he certainly needs to improve his decision making on 3rd down, and in the red zone, it would be great if he can take a "step" in the athleticism department. He is by no means a dual threat, but if he could just add a bit to his speed and quickness, he might be able to keep a few more drives alive. Maybe that is too much to ask for a fifth year senior, but I think that is what he needs if he wants to stay on the field.
My guess would be that JG and HB will be sharing time on the field this year, with the occasional wildcat package for Hill or Holiday. Maybe BM gets a chance too, if he greatly improves overall. Shrout has a very good arm. I just don't know if he will be able to put it all together to run the team.
I don't know that much about Hill. Due to his experience, maybe he is the wildcard.
I just looked at our roster (UtSports.com). We have 7 qb's. That doesn't include Holiday and HB. That is a lot of competition. I bet there will be some attrition during/after Spring ball. It is a good problem to have.
Hill was a duel threat QB but he has had an ACL on each knee, so I don't know what to expect from him.
As for 7 QBs: I'd imagine that we lose at least 1 scholly QB after Spring Training. Although some say Strout might wait until for a grad transfer.
To the best of my knowledge, Hill is still a walk-on.
