He played in 2 keys series last week, produced nothing either time, did not get us out of a bad run play twice, threw one time across his body to the middle of the field and lofted one up deep into double coverage. In 6 plays he messed up on 4 of them, maybe that's why he got pulled with a vote of non confidence.

So then JG came in and balled out? Lol. What about his throw at the end of the half? And he is just late on every single pass. That’s why he gets hit so much

So yo guys are saying Pruitt is lying straight to the face of media. His words were all 3 QB's are cleared to play. I just cannot see him saying that if not true. For many reasons , one would be no medical redshirt if you have your HC on tape at a press conference saying all 3 are cleared. Secondly it would be something the media would trash him and the AD over, they can lie to you but you can't lie to them.
I believe if the UAB game had been close at halftime BM would have played. I think he and Chaney wanted to hold him out unless needed.

For the sake of redundancy? Redshirting Maurer wasn’t a factor. He can’t! Medical or otherwise.

He took hits in the UAB that Peyton would have taken.Not every sack is on JG. UAB has a very good D.... there front is better than a lot of SEC teams.

Seriously? Do you really believe that UAB has lines better than most SEC teams? Or maybe JG holds the ball too long?

He's had flashes for sure, but I need to see him actually play a couple of complete games before I deem him a game changer.

Again.... understood. But given he’s been consistently the same every time out should show there in fact IS a game changer on our roster. Just gotta get and keep him healthy.

Pruitt better learn to love Shrout. He put on an exhibition vs SCar. If CJP plans on starting JG, it’s inevitable we will need Shrout when drives stall and mistakes pile up. JG is just not consistent enough game in, game out. Same song, different verse.

Saying this morning that there is no way that Maurer was physically cleared to play vs UAB but then didn’t play.
Says he said that to protect Maurer and confuse the competition.
Says if he was healthy he would play ahead of someone with a cast on his hand.
Also said that CJP has no faith in Shrout.

Remember these guys get paid to make outlandish statements; that is why people tune in. People like Finebaum and Fox News have made a killing doing it.

BM was on the field warming up before the game Saturday. Seemed to me he didn't get as many resp as JG and Shrout, but he was there, in uniform. If he was not medically cleared to play then there's no way he could 1) dress for the game and 2) warm up with the team. I think CJP figured JG could do enough to win and he was right. Might not be so with UK.

Yes, he threw an interception and yes, QBs get hit when playing. He's NOT late on every single pass.

He's looked pretty consistent in our last 3 wins.

-Or- the coaches felt confident we could beat UAB without Maurer and decided to give him extra rest.

We will finish 4-8 with JG starting the rest of the year

Is that what you think or what you truly want to happen? The remaining games will be won or lost based on how well the defense plays along with ball control (aka limit turnovers). If we play well in those areas, we can definitely win the games regardless of who is the QB.

I guess . I almost wish he wouldn't have played Bama at all now.

I wish he had not played at all. Sure would have been nice for him to have focused on getting bigger and stronger this season and go into next season's QB competition without the concussion stigma that now hangs over him.

The team needed him. But looking back after he landed on his head he probably should have rest.

Or they've pretty much shut him down because of his injuries, whatever they may be. It's possible the Pruitt is actually trying to protect the kid rather than continuing to play him when he's not ready physically.

I don't think the team needed him at all, I think we'd be exactly where we are. The team needed a healthy Bituli, Thompson and our 20 young guys that play to develop. Senior leadership is what this team needed and we've had that the last 4 weeks, it's why we are in position to finish strong I feel.

But he will throw JG out there a week after surgery and 6 screws in his wrist with a big cast looking like a fake hand. He could have hurt him bad when you are injured you overcompensate with another part of your body and he could have easily hurt his throwing hand.
