Pruitt has said on multiple occasions, this year and last, that the QBs get the same number of reps in practice. Pruitt gave game experience to 2 Fr to help them get ready. You don't have 1 single fact to support your claim that Pruitt didn't get backups ready and truth be told he did the exact opposite of what you claim. I think this is the weakest false narrative you neverJGers spew out of your NegaVol mouths.
You're on record as saying he can't improve his innate abilities, you're on record as saying he's reached his ceiling and Vols will be just mediocre until he's gone and on record as saying Vols O will not improve with him as starting QB. I'm sure you have stated in the past that you were done with JG and there is no hope because you can't improve how he thinks. I'm on record as calling all of your crap as pure BS.
DUDE!!! I’ve always said JG played well and won’t take that back. However BM was not near as bad as you claim either. It was his worst game but the “stats” show he was getting better as the game went on. Point that I’ve always made is that CJP took a gamble that night because BM was getting better and JG could’ve just as easily stunk it up. And had he stunk it up JP would’ve been the goat rather than the hero.
Once again. I’ve been to the practices. Maurer and Shrout split time between the 2s and 3s. JG got the 1s. During scrimmage (which they do every day contrary to popular belief) JG went with the 1s and BM and JTS stayed with the 2s. So no..... neither were given the opportunity to practice with the 1s until Maurer was named the starter. Even then he split time with JG with the 1s and JG alternated between the 1s and 2s.
You are right ..I got the GA game confused with SCar.
There is a lot more to it than just the so called critical criticism the neverJGers claim is all they do. I think the QB situation is clear, JG earned the starting QB role the 2nd half in Ky which was a quality SEC road win. Several want anyone but him but I think it's clear he's QB1 for whatever reasons going in to the seasons. 2 things can happen, he can either play well, which I simply believe he will, or he will continue to be inconsistent, lose Coach Pruitt's trust and QB2 will play. Pretty simple stuff yet we have those on here that predict doom and gloom for the Vols if JG does anything other than wear a headset as stated here before. I simply feel that's an ignorant statement to predefine a season based on their couch coach prediction of the future play of JG. So, if we all know he's going to be QB1, why don't we start talking about his successes more, compliment when it's proper and quit bringing up everything negative. I say this because that's the same type negative crap the NegaVols have been spewing since they ran Fulmer and seemingly every other person of TN ties off the hill. All the negativity hasn't worked since Fulmer left, it's time we as a fanbase take a different approach and support our players through the good and bad.
Fine, I get it, your take is that Coach Pruitt and Chaney are both lying when they clearly have stated how they evaluate the QBs. You simply believe Coach Pruitt is flat out lying, I don't and am gonna take his word for it simply because I've never heard him say BM makes throws only a few players in the world can make.
Never said either of them are lying. Especially Chaney given the fact that he rarely talks to media. But if you’re looking at it with an open mind you’d be completely naive to believe all the coaches agree on all things regardless of what they say to the media. Of coarse they will back their boss but that doesn’t mean they agree behind closed doors. As fans, if you want the actual truth you gotta face the facts of occurrences and pay attention to the details of the season. Chaney’s play calling between the qbs was that detail that should tell us all how HE really felt. This is a proven, professional qb coach we’re talking about here and He put the ball in the air much more with Maurer than he did with JG. Does that tell you Maurer was an int machine in practice like we were being told? Does it say he was erratic like we were told? Doesn’t tell me that. It tells me he trusted Maurer quite a bit. According to practice reports why would he trust him so much? Is it possible that we weren’t being told the truth or possibly mislead? Is it possible that Chaney seen it the same way I did when I told you guys last year that what I seen didn’t match reports or the narrative?
No. I am on record saying that his problems appear to be innate. If they are... then his ability to improve is limited.
Yes. I "believe" he's at or near his ceiling as a passer due to the factor I mentioned above. I have also said there are other things he can improve on. The team around him can certainly improve. But until he improves on anticipating throws and processing reads faster... if he in fact can... he is a liability.
No. You are on record reading into what others say what you want them to say so that you can burn straw men and claim a heroic victory.
There's merit to that but it isn't a formula for long term success.
It is comical that you actually believe that.... I mean you really do. It is amazing how delusional you are.
You ALMOST tripped over the truth... BM should NOT have had to play. JG didn't "save the day". He was CONSTANTLY the very reason "the day" was in jeopardy. That same exact team with even "good" play from JG would have been 10-3 and possibly better. They would have destroyed GSU and BYU... and Vandy and IU. They would not have been run off the field by UF, UGA, or Bama.
Which game did Maurer play in where the result of the game would have been a win if he had not played? In fact, the Bama game was competitive when Maurer went out.
JG was the most experienced and it showed in his decision making. Maurer was the most accurate and explosive and moved the offense with ease. And Shrout was the strongest arm but control was an issue.
Without a doubt. I read so much crap in these JG threads from both "sides" that simply is wrong, but I've got zero interest in having a debate about it for the 50th time lol. I just want somebody to win the job and run an efficient offense that can stay on the field and move the ball without hibernating for 2 or 3 drives at a time.
Actually if you think back you have seen Shrout vs UT Chatt. There was a pretty large sample size of him passing in that game. You can make your own determination on if I was right or wrong by watching it on you tube but That was the game we seen the most from him due to being benched fairly quickly later in the season. I was just reminding Pulaski that I said all those things after watching practices myself and well before the start of the 2019 season. But not many wanted to listen.
I believe that’s correct to an extent. Year 2 is still no indication of what you’ll have as a junior or senior. Think of it in terms of learning a new language like I said earlier. After a solid year in the class you can “speak” the language but wouldn’t be considered “fluent”. However at the same time you DID learn more that year than any other year. If Maurer gets the opportunity to become “fluent” in Chaney’s offense, I suspect many apologies will come my way in year 3-4. Until then I’ll just shot the chit. Lol
Come on KTown. I know you play deadhead sometimes but you can’t possibly believe Maurer is easy to game plan against. That’s why “if he were playing we were winning”. Mississippi Sate and the great Nick Saban both had film on him and you’d be a fool to believe that Kirby didn’t look at his Hs film again to take away what he does well. And none of them succeed as a true freshman. Imagine if he’d have been a junior or senior in those games. Planning against him will only get harder the more he develops over the years to come. His play had UT actually BEATING Georgia, beating MSU and tied with Alabama in their own house. His best games were against two of the top rated teams in the nation. So if qbs are judged by how well they do vs the stiffest competition then I’d say Maurer proved himself. You and your boy just don’t want to give the kid the credit he deserves.
