PVF, our starting QB was schizo, one of the backups most likely will transfer, we've got a grad transfer that we don't know what he's like and an incoming freshman. If that's #2 in the SEC the SEC SUCKS for QB's right now.The South Carolina QB is just average at best and in no way a difference maker. I'll take our Blue Chip 6'5 230 lb QB coming in over Bamas 5'10 180 pounder.
I don't think there is any pressure on him at all. I think JG will start out as starter and I think HB will get used the way BM was this season. The difference in HB and BM is that I believe HBs size will allow him to make it through a whole game where as Maurer can't finish a half.A lot of pressure for the young man considering he hasn’t played a down of collegiate football.
But you still think UT can win with JG's very inconsistent play and fatal flaws.... against pretty strong evidence to the contrary. As a RS Jr he had a month to prepare for a mid-major caliber D... and laid an egg. That's following the awful performance against Vandy. It isn't the bad performances that are the anomalies. It is the sporadic games like Auburn and Mizzou.Yes, I believe we have the #2 QB room in the SEC going into spring practice behind only Fl. Mond at A&M is just ok, Nix at Auburn just decent, after those 2 there isn't anybody else even close. Al will be decent but that's just because of all the talent of their supporting class. I would not trade our QB room with any team in the conference.
You have continued to make this argument though you MUST know how ridiculous it is. If HB gets dropped on his head... his height and weight won't save him from a head/neck injury. It could make it worse.I don't think there is any pressure on him at all. I think JG will start out as starter and I think HB will get used the way BM was this season.

I could see that. I just believe with the talent we have coming back at OL it's going to benefit our QBs. Everyone knows JGs faults but he has shown that when given time to throw he can be pretty good. I think he's gonna have all day to throw next year!Bama has Mac Jones returning...whos far more efficient than anything on our roster had shown. He beat Michigan. Then they little Tagavailoa and the probably the best player of the 2020 class in Bryce Young.
Mond is trash
Florida has a good group like you mentioned.
Leach will get those Miss State QBs improved.
I wouldn't put us 2nd....maybe 4th?

I'm serious. We have the most QB's. Georgia has the least. Thus WE > Ga!!You don't ever post anything positive about the Vols so most of us could care less what your opinion is.
I don't care how he got injured, he started 4 games and whether by injury or performance he did not finish a single game, much less finish a game with a W.Some of your reasoning has absolutely 0 basis. It’s not like Maurer suffered dings and bumps due to his size this year. He was dropped on his head. A nasty landing that anyone would have probably been hurt by. Concussions are a pretty serious thing now days.
He had plenty of time this year. The pass protection was NOT a problem. He was one of the slowest QB's in the SEC delivering the ball. The problem is his ability to process and throw... not the amount of time he has to throw. More time at this point would mean plays made after the design breaks down. JG has never shown himself to be good at those.I could see that. I just believe with the talent we have coming back at OL it's going to benefit our QBs. Everyone knows JGs faults but he has shown that when given time to throw he can be pretty good. I think he's gonna have all day to throw next year!
Right. Because you simply don't like him. Just admit it and be done with it. You make all kinds of excuses for JG. Being dropped on your head is a pretty good reason to be injured... and kind of a "freak" thing. But you want to blow that injury up into something much larger. A freak head/neck injury does not prove that a guy is injury prone OR not "big enough".I don't care how he got injured, he started 4 games and whether by injury or performance he did not finish a single game, much less finish a game with a W.

I actually agree with your OL and RB analysis though..too bad none of that really helps fix the glaring issue at QB.
And lets not forget on the offensive side of the ball UT was terrible nationally..
