Pulaski Vol liked your post on which states JG is eratic and underwhelming. We are slowly turning his viewpoint.Hoping he turns the corner this year in his second year under Chaney. He's been extremely erratic and underwhelming in his time on the hill. QB play this year is going to be the difference in competeting for the east and going 5-5 IMO. Need him to step up big time.
If you're going to dump emotional ******** on me OP then just think about the thousands of children with terminal illnesses in St. Judes, people with cancer who were liftetime vol fans seeing their last season, and across the state people suffering who look up to UT football for a glimpse of hope and see JGs product every weekend. I bet we all on VN know someone who was suffering, a huge UT fan, and was let down this past decade. My grandfather's 80 year Vol fandom (including attending >70% of home/bowl games since the 1960s) came to an end the year we went 4-8 I'm sure he looked forward to the Vols his final months I'm sure it helped things. Riley Green's Wish Grandpa's Never Died just came on the Vol Radio typing this. This program is more than JG and more than the current team even. This is our state, our people, our display of pride of our community, and this is TENNESSEE I don't see a New Jersey boy understanding any of what I typed anyhow
Really, He's ranked 7, 6 and the 3rd in the 3 he listed. Of course he's not ranked in yards as he's bottom half of the league in attempts and played a lot less snaps than those ahead of him. There are 14 teams in the league, he averaged ranked 5.3 in the 3 metrics the guy just gave out. Not sure what kind of math you were taught in high school but I'm pretty sure 5.3 is in the top half of 14. Even taking in the 9th in yards he ranks 6.3 on avg. Do you understand the math?PulaskiVFan is the originator of the “Fake News” reporting so prevalent today.
Those metrics definitely add up to top half in the league, even when you add the yardage which you know is lower simply because he had less attempts than the 8 in front of him. You're only going to find a couple of QB stats throwing the football where his stats are lower half.9th in yards passing
7th in % percentage
6th (T) in TD passes
3rd in INTS
14 schools. He's right around the middle except for INTs
Not ranked in top half of the league in attempts and downs because he was yanked several times and in several games the coaches were so afraid to let JG throw the ball that we even ran the ball in obvious passing downs ad nauseam. Still points to mediocrity.Really, He's ranked 7, 6 and the 3rd in the 3 he listed.

It dumbfounds me to read all of this hate over a kid. First, this is a kid. He may legally and technically be a man but still, he is just a kid. Not only that, but he is doing something productive such as going to college to get an education and, though I don't know anything about his or his parents financial abilities, football is providing an avenue for him to do so. Just how many of you negative posters actually have an investment into the University such as a degree, donor, booster or played football for the University? Or, are you just a fan? Second, I remember reading on this forum several years ago how many of you thought he was going to be the next biggest thing since Peyton. Third, and to me most importantly, how many of you haters have or could be an SEC starting QB? Even with as bad of a team as we currently have, how many of you posters that continuously dog him out could even make the team as a walk on much less supplant him as the starting QB?
Granted, there may be more or other options at QB but most of the posters on here are personally attacking a kid. Now, I know I'm going to get flamed for this but what is wrong with ya'll?
It's not hate for me. It's just reality. I'm sure he's a great kid and practices well. He just isn't that good of a QBIt dumbfounds me to read all of this hate over a kid. First, this is a kid.

Because that's the root of the criticism of JG's play, it's 100% based on him not leading UT to an undefeated season, right?
No but it’s been clear that no matter how well he’s done, it’s not good enough. Remember the Missouri game. he okayed fantastic but there were a number of complaints that anyone could throw for 400 yards against that D.
