Week 1 QB ratings(SEC)

On the sideline yes if pass is in stride its a quick cut and hes off to the races.....

Just like you will trust CJP to keep running JG out there..ill trust the commentators who watched it from different angles....we can agree to disagree its..ok...
Fair enough.
 
We could switch quarterbacks with Florida tomorrow and average 24 more points per game. The only difference in the two teams last year was quarterback play imho.
It's a fair point other than you saying we would average 24 more per game, that's hyperbole at it's finest if you think our offensive numbers or anyone's for that matter would be capable of putting up 49+ per game just solely based on QB play.
 
Too many here are part of an anti-JG cult, with little connection to reality where he is concerned. Tell them JG completed 61% of his passes, that he had no INTs, no fumbles, and had 281 of UT’s 394 total yards, and all they do is mumble, “If we had a decent QB, blah, blah, blah.”
It’s very funny, I agree. Because by stat line and comparative analysis he is practically the definition of “decent”. 7 guys in the league with better qbr yesterday and 2 of them lost. I’ll take average-above average stat line and the win always over record setting performances in an L.

Played decent. Too many over throws. Played better than most of the SEC qbs. Left a couple points in the field.

But no turnovers. Huge.

His progression reading has... has well .."progressed ". He went through on avergar two to 3 reads on each play vs...starring a wr down every pass.

He's definitely better than he was. He even showed his athletic ability on a nice run. Beautiful throw to Palmer. Smart play to Gray.

And that's still just not good enough. He didn't fumble...he threw no picks. But a 3 and out is almost as bad a turnover. Defense was gassed because JG kept giving the ball back to their offense so frequently.

I fully expect him to be replaced next game. Mizzou has some teeth on their front 7.
Maurer or Bailey or both will see the field.

Not saying we won't see JG again. Because he may be needed to save the day. He's better that way...
 
LOL, not every pass is a TD. This isn’t Tecmo Bowl. Plus, no QB hits every pass. The kid certainly missed some but he still hit over 60% and threw some that were very nice. No one is saying he played great and I’ve said multiple times he had a lot of overthrows and isn’t an accurate QB. Stop trying to make more out of this than it really is though.
2 of the 3 i stated were in the endzone....defend his slant pass that Keyton had to pick off his back hip...he was not accurate on most of his throws even tho catches were made...thats whats frustrating...

The 2 that lost were to the #5 and #2 teams...and neither is a 5th year SR QB....yes we won...

Yeah, I agree with that. It isn’t just missing open receivers, he doesn’t put the ball where the receiver can keep running or he makes the receiver turn around, there’s usually something. One end zone throw that fell incomplete looked pretty good but the WR slowed down and tried to come back but had he kept running it looked like it might have been good. Regardless, we need better or we need to get a whole lot better at running.

He threw a couple of great out passes which he missed last year....so there has been some improvement but not at a competitive level we need..and too many fans are of the everyone gets a trophy type and happy with mediocrity....

In case anyone wants the actual QBR, I got this from some website

Corral, Ole Miss 203.48
Trask, Florida 201.77
Jones, (censored) 189.65
Nix, Auburn 168.42
Costello, MSU 168.05
Bennett, Georgia 152.84
Robinson, Missouri 156.36
Guarantano, Tennessee 142.12
Brennan, LSU 134.52
Hill, USC 129.90
Mond, TAMU 129.20
Wilson, Kentucky 122.63
Seals, Vandy 110.00
Franks, Arkansas 97.80

looks like espn has different numbers, so here's where I got mine.
Probably should give them a link if I'm using their content, right?

Oh ... espn actually has the same numbers if I click on stats, but something completely different in the game summary box score. Weird.

That's about right.
JG has improved, but as a 4th year starter against an average defense, you'd expect that QB to be more consistent.

Should have won 45-21 or something to that tune. Maybe 52. But as SEC Mike tweeted "JG doing his best to keep South Carolina in the game".

Agree, JG's was average and that's not good for a 5th year senior. He was less than average on 3rd downs where we were an impressive 1/11 converting. His decision making was improved, but thats becuse he had plenty of time.

You know good is the enemy of the great and JG is a legend in his own mind, and I think thats holding him back. Unfortunately, with his attitude I don't think this is going to change. I hope I'm wrong, and if I am I think he can be a good QB.
 
1) trask- Florid
2) Costello-MSU
3) Nix- Auburn
4) JG- Vols
5) Jones- Bama
6) corral- ole miss
7) hill-usce
8)mizzu-
9) Mond- A&M
10) brennan- LSU
11) wilson-Kentucky
12) Georgia
13) Arkansas
14) vandy

Let’s see where you guys ranked the QBs

Here’s the SEC QB ratings. Not sure where you got your information, but it’s wrong.

This may sound funny but JG had a lot more confidence in his feet. He wasn't, that I recall, dancing around as much as I recall last year. He got his feet set aggressively and that brought his shoulders around on target. The overthrows are a first game nerves thing. Maybe I'm biased cause I want the kid to be great this year but he looked far better mechanically than I remember last year.

He has a great O-line and made the right decisions more than not. If he continues to improve from this new baseline we are in for a good year....

It’s also funny to me how every drive we don’t score is now considered “points we should have had”. Even LSU’s record offense from last year didn’t score on every possession. With that said, the first half offense was abysmal. We have to improve there or we will struggle with the lower half SEC teams and lose to the upper tier handily. We did see improvement in the second half so hopefully we will build from that. All I know is 1-0 with a conference road win is way better than 0-1 with a loss at home to GA State.

Absolutely better start than last year!
 
Expectations are a funny thing. They can make the good look bad and the bad look good. We went 7-5 in the regular season last year, started the season on the road in conference, we won AND covered the spread but, based on the general tone on VN, you’d think we lost. Expectations.
we didnt win SC lost
 
Ah..thanks

After seeing other post, others stats and quotes I think I rated Jones too low.

some have suggested hill outplayed JG and I think that’s hilarious. It’s really an example of how biased many are here with hate toward JG.

on the pick 6 the throw was behind the
Receiver which cause the deflection.
hill also missed the TE late with another inaccurate Throw that should have been an easy first down before they kicked their Fg. He took too many sacks

He played solid but those Mistakes cost them the game and clearly JG was better than he was yesterday

I don’t

I think he played a PERFECT game when it came to decision making. The call was thrown to the right person every single time and never in harms way. Sure he missed a few throws but all QBs miss throws in a game
Eh yeah but that's what separates average from elite. Elite qbs don't miss crucial wide open throws, average ones do.

Really?

I just saw Aaron Rogers miss two consecutive throws but I guess you don’t think that’s possible


But for the record JG doesn’t have to be elite to be our best option this year. Hopefully Bailey can grow into being elite but this isn’t the year for that
 
1 out of 12 on third downs as a team. Drive killers......several on 3rd and 2 or 3 if memory serves. Not a sustainable stat.

No it's not. Luckily we were 3rd in the SEC last season on some 3rd down matrix so I'm hoping yesterday was just a blip on the bad side, we certainly can't get any worse. We stink in short yardage, I think that could change a little when we get Beckwith back from injury as he's a load on 3rd and short from the wildcat.
