No, I don’t believe JG will give us better chance, based on his actual ability. The ONLY reason I suspect Pruitt will lean in his direction is he is the only QB we have that has at least been in hostile environments and run the offense for a entire game.
You can't have it both ways, I asked you earlier, when other QBs do it why are they considered great for it and you dump on our QB when he does it, ridiculous. Another newsflash, he led 2nd half comeback drives vs Ky and South Carolina as well. You obviously don't give him credit for something I think has always been valued in QB play. I've also never heard a fan not credit QB play in game winning drives, you guys act like the Vols should never trail in a game. How can someone as bad as JG lead 3 game changing or winning 2nd half come from behind drives. Keeping spilling that reached his ceiling crap though.
No. What is ridiculous is that you take exceptions and declare someone "great" based on them and then duck the hard questions. There was no need for the IU game to be so close that a come back was needed. It doesn't make someone "great" when they're the biggest reason a should be blowout is close.
To say UK was a game where he led a "comeback" is just myth. USCe wasn't some big "comeback". It was a 21-17 game at the half. JG threw a 2nd half TD as did Shrout. The other TD was a blocked kick.
So he does it once and he's "great"? The "great" ones do it often but MORE often don't need to against weak opponents.... if we were talking about UGA or UF or Bama and he struggles then leads a comeback... then you can talk about "great". But IU? Really? You want to call playing that poorly and then needing a "comeback" great?
You're making stuff up. He's failed at that more times than he's succeeded and in the one, specific example you gave he caused the game to be competitive when it should not have been.
You're in denial... and grasping now. Reality is that he was as bad if not worse in the last two games as he was in the first 3... you just want to distract and deflect. He's had maybe 3 or 4 truly "good" games in the last three years.... and STILL hasn't led a UT O to more than 30 points vs an FBS opponent.
That's a bar too high. I cannot recall anyone at UT ever having it like Jennings did. If you look at him otherwise... he's not a very good receiver. He dropped too many passes. He isn't fast. But what he lacked in talent he made up for in tenacity and toughness.
I am honestly not concerned about WR considering the talent UT has in that group. There's not much experienced talent or much talented experience. But I think the experienced guys can hold it down long enough to give those other guys time to develop.
TN and Indiana should not be comparable teams. Unfortunately, they are. For now. But even still, talent level alone should have given TN a huge advantage over Indiana. With good QB play, it would've been a easy win.
