The QB Debate.... Post Bama (merged)

[NEVolFan]

I hope he is ok, but he should not be given another snap until he develops pocket presents

FYP... but I concur.

Going off of emotions now, that offensive line should be ashamed of their play today, I don’t care who is the quarterback, it really looked like they never believed they had a chance.

I REALLY wish we hadn't lost Kennedy at Center in the first game. O line continues to be our biggest weakness.

If you think one quarter performance is more indicative than the hundreds of hours the coaches have seen live, then I dont know what to tell you. That's like if your wife left you for the chance that the guy that was nice to her for 5 minutes would be her soulmate. Just a dumb decision.

One quarter was enough and there were other plays in the 2nd half that demonstrated Chryst was making better decisions even if they did not show up in the statistics as a completion.

Well there would be a positive connection if we are both Vol fans. I'm not sure you are.

I've been a vol fan for all thirty of my years, havent missed watching a TSIO since I started watching, including the year I spent in iraq. I'm here to talk football, not make friends with some random off I81 in Va.

To see some of these posts you would think he came in and won a national championship game like Tua did. He played good, but C'mon Man!

 

[Volnut]

JG wasn’t in a sling so I’m staying optimistic.

He’s our leader.

Was JG on the sideline after going to the locker room?

 

[vavolfan6]

Just watch the interaction with he and his teammates......ZERO,

I noticed the same thing from the nosebleeds...doesn't acknowledge or encourage his line. He just takes a hit and walks to the sideline defeated by himself..hes improved but we need better body language and leadership from him

 

[KappinSpaulding]

JG may be better at one point but it’s obvious Chryst is a much calmer and better QB right now.

He needs to start from here on out.

I know it’s only been about a quarter but he is much more poised and the game is much slower for him. A blind man can see it.

The OL didn't play very well for Chryst but they played better than they did for JG. You only have to look at last week to see how good JG can be with some decent protection. I worry about Chryst taking the snap without dropping it on every snap. Give JG a little bit of time and he is a monster.

I have been a Vol fan since before you were born. If you cannot see that Chryst is a better decision maker at this time then you are not very knowledgeable about the game.

2 TDs isn't the same?

 

[LivinginthePast]

And keller had one good quarter, do you honestly think you have a better judgement of their abilities in the offense than the coaches?

I feel like the coaches know it was a close battle. I have no idea why they haven't given him a shot more. It happens all the time in college football though where a backup QB comes into a game and just takes over the offense. Some QBs just are more comfortable in live games. He deserves a chance to throw more.

That's your opinion, the guys making millions to actually decide that, doesnt agree with you, and he has more at stake. So sit back and enjoy the show.

From being at the stadium..He put on his helmet two plays later and looked ready to go, but was kept on the sideline

Exaggeration on your part. We are just comparing the two QB's on the Vol's roster.

Hopefully that's good news...

Key point, you feel. The coaches get paid to know, and they put JG as starter for a reason.

Guys making a million dollars do not mean they have more common sense than others. There have been many rich fools in history.

 

[VolSummitt44]

JG deserves better than to be turned on every time something bad happens. Kid plays his ass off.

No, you are comparing a single exceptional quarter, and making idiotic claims on it.

Did I just say any millionaire? Quit moving the goal post. Unless you have a few NC rings on your hand I'll take CJP opinion over yours sorry not sorry.

 

[VFLBerg]

He doesn't look injured here:

 

[rusty11]

Funny, JG hangs in there and gets killed by unblocked rushers. Chryst never seems to get hit by anybody, especially not unblocked rushers! Hmmm. There never seems to be any unblocked rushers when he's under center...Thinks that make you go HMMM!

 

[vavolfan6]

Hopefully that's good news...

I'll have to wait to hear what happened because from being at the game it seemed like Pruitt was just trying to keep the hot hand and get a spark, but idk.

 

[KeyVol14]

Pruitt said he was fine in his post game conference

 

[imbubbaspitcup]

It will piss some off and some will claim Bama had let up but. The offense looks more fluid with Keller. The o line seems to give him a bit more time. He feels the pressure and sees the field. We've seen this before. Lastly we all knew it was only a matter of of time until JG would get knocked out of a game.

Bama did not even pressure Keller on his first series, they had already called the dogs off. Keller threw only short passes, I wanted to see him throw the ball deep. Jp gave up after half time & we just ran the ball.
