They are starting JG after the bye... (this week's depth chart)

[CA_Vol]

What a sick joke this program has become

 

[Tnphil]

Was there ever any doubt?

 

[BULLET VOL]

He better have a short string or the coach may not want to come back to Knoxville.

And to think I was going to buy tickets, drive 5 hours, and stay overnight to watch this...

And people wonder why folks have lost faith in Pruitt

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

Was there ever any doubt?

No.

Arkansas and Barry Odom are going to eat JG alive, Arkansas by 21

 

[Cartervol]

Best they have right now, whoever you want to lay the blame on for that fact. It's puzzling for sure, some would maybe call it malpractice of some sort.

 

[NighthawkVol]

It's probably because Pruitt doesn't want to win and, even though he knows he has other QBs who are better, he's starting JG anyway. Pruitt is trying to sabotage Tennessee's program. Or he's just really dumb.

(for those who haven't figured it out, this is sarcasm)

 

[Backwards K]

Arkansas should be favored because they have an experienced, athletic QB who can make plays with his feet and is arm.

I don't think they're better, that's the thing. They're even more limited than JG. From a outside perspective and that's all it is, JG struggles with touch passes and to me that limits what you can do way too much. I would start him again this week and give him a short leash...

 

[MiramarVol]

This is Pruitt's way of giving up and throwing in the towel Amirite?

There stats are nearly identical before last Saturday FYI.

 

[whodeycin85]

If there are anymore questions about CJP and his theories...the fact Hyatt is not on the 2 deep tells you all you need to know....what a joke

 

['Boro-vol]

Never doubted this for a minute.

I'll give Pruitt this...he is a man that keeps his own counsel. He'll have nobody to blame but himself.

How do we know that? There is a difference between practice and games, and no matter how bad #2 stinks it up at game time, nobody else gets more than a few snaps.

Utterly ridiculous!

Insanity...doing the same thing over and over and over and expecting different results.

 

[BogeyVol]

Never thought I would be this apathetic about Tennessee football, yet here we are. I have nothing personal against JG, but at this point watching him start again is like trying to get pumped up for a root canal.

 

[EZE]

UT’s head coach strikes again...Doh!

 

[jeff1vol]

I don't think this is accurate. It's been the same since day 1.

 

[Orange defense]

Sounds like a 5 foot 3 Stetson/Smart problem to me.

Agreed. I don't think Pruitt's wrong when he says Guarantano "gives us the best chance to win". Some coaches, however, would see that "best chance" is still "not much chance" and would be grooming the next guy, especially in a season that doesn't count against their eligibility. Who knows how far along Bailey (or maybe even the other two guys) could be if he was allowed some on the job training before now.

its year 3 and Pruitt still doesn't have a QB, thats alarming

 

[LargeOrange1]

I had a doubt that probably lasted for almost 16 minutes.....then I got over it. Holy Sheeet.

 

[jarhead]

Of course. "He gives us the best chance to win."
I really don't care any more. It's almost to the point that I'd rather lose with a different QB than win with Guarantano. That's just sad to say but that is how disgusted I have become with this coach/qb combo.
