Tennessee offensive football is SO HARD to watch with JG at QB. Every time Tennessee gets the ball I feel virtually hopeless. Tennessee has very good players at most every position on offense yet we struggle game after game to score or even sustain a drive over 10-20 yards. JG will NEVER lead this Tennessee team to the top echelon of the SEC East even if he had 5 star players at every position.

To my point, with less than 2 minutes to go in the first half Tennessee gets the ball at the SC 44 yard line and I know from watching the past 3 years of JG ball that Tennessee will fail to score. Sure enough, 1st down ... JG throws behind a wide open back on a 8 YARD pass, INCOMPLETE. 2nd down ... Gray runs for 4 yards. 3rd down ... JG drops back to pass, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 seconds go by as JG stares down a covered receiver and then gets tackled for a loss. 4th down ... Tennessee punts AGAIN!

Gawd ... how much longer are we going have to watch this same scenario play out? Like everything else this year ... it's a LOST YEAR so why on earth don't we play Harrison and let him get some valuable experience and learn about SEC game speed. The best we can hope for with JG is 5-5 or 6-4 at best. If we don't replace JG this year we will be looking at 5th FRICKEN YEAR with JG at QB. GEEZ !!!

I hate it so much but I 100% agree. I hope JG can change my mind.

But yet the coaches see something different? Perhaps we can make as many threads as we want because he isn't good. This game is close because of him.

JG has been bad, but this whole "JG is the whole reason our team isn't doing well" game after game is comical. We just got torched on back to back series on defense by Colin Hill and Shy Smith and we're blaming JG?

Apparently you cannot see how JG’s poor
Play costs us points, time of possession, playcalling and now even momentum on another team’s homefield. He is 99% responsible for this being a tie game vs. UT being up 28 points. Go watch another 4 to 5 decades of football like I have
and then maybe you will understand.

At this point, Pruitt and his offensive staff are either poor developers of QB talent, or poor evaluators of QB talent. There really is no other explanation for why JG is the unquestioned preference at that position.

This staff didn't recruit him, but he certainly has not developed under them. And they have recruited 3 other QBs in the meantime who cannot seem to beat him out.
