‘18 QB Grad Transfer Keller Chryst (UT commit 3/1/18)

The ol was worse when JG came back too. Who played ol against lsu when JG had his best game? The true freshman thing is way more valid then ol imo.

Callway lost that game. If he didn't fumble twice Tennessee had a good shot
 
The Kentucky game was JG’s best game...followed by SC. We were never in it against LSU. We had Jack Jones and Venzell Boulware available. By the time McBride got his one offing, it was Brooks and next available walk-on time.

We were in it til the special teams fumbles. JG was having a good game too. Point is JG played as many games with no ol as McBride so it's not as strong a point as yer true freshman point.

McBride played ONE. So odd brag. If we graded JG for one game would that be sufficient?

McBride played 2 games. JG came back and played the next 2 games. I wasn't commenting on anything other than yer point about the ol. You said McBride had a worse ol when he played which wasn't true for the last 2 games. I don't think either can be judged based on it. I just think that part of yer point wasn't as valid as the part about the difference between true and redshirt freshman.
 
And Vols4us added: "5-10 lbs. on JG's frame will be about all we can expect without some serious deer antler spray. He's not a big boned, big framed guy.

The competition at the position is what is so important. Having two QB's that can at least manage games well and make a play now and then would help a lot."

I just want to point out, y'all might want to update your info by seeing the thread about Vols take the polar plunge challenge ... JG does appear to have been bulking up and chiseling. Just sayin. :hi:

Understood. Haven't seen him for several months, so hopefully it is happening. He may be a late bloomer physically and it is kicking in. I want him to clearly win the job and do great things. It cannot hurt to have Chryst pushing him as the back-up.

We’re talking STARTS man. McBride didn’t play the last two games, so our whole narrative on him is his mop up action against Southern Miss and the Mizzou game. You can’t discount how the state of the OL affected his FIRST EVER action as compared to JG’s. It’s all valid.

Okay so this is a very pointless argument where we are both stating that you can't judge him yet. I guess because JG played 5 games before the ol was completely injured he was unaffected playing behind 4 walk on ol in the last 2 games is the point you are clinging to for some reason. Have it. I'm bored with this circular debate about nothing at all. Even though I did start it. Hahaha

You keep making opposing arguments which makes me doubt you agree with me...like the ones in this post. :w00t: Don’t know how you took my point about McBride having a short sample size and making it a slap at what JG had to overcome...I’ve defended him quite a bit lately. Just advocating a fair shake for McBride. Not a fan of circular arguments myself. My patented response is to quit arguing with the exit sign.

McBride didn’t have to get hit by Bama 19 times either. People will say he should’ve gotten rid of the ball but most times there was no where to go with those garbage route concepts.

Hopefully JG gets some weight on him this season to absorb those hits better.

He took a beating that day, but he took it like a man IMO.

Yep. I was at that game and most of the others. Hardly ever was someone opened
 
Graduate transfer quarterback Keller Chryst of Palo Alto, California has committed to Tennessee and head coach Jeremy Pruitt. Chryst arrives at a critical time for Pruitt and the Vols’ coaching staff as they try to establish competition and depth at a very thin quarterback position. Chryst previously played three seasons at Stanford starting 13 games and appearing in 23. He’s passed for 1901 yards, 19 touchdowns and six interceptions.

Chryst visited Tennessee last weekend and told GoVols247 after the visit that Tennessee had “everything that I’m looking for.” Chryst seems to present new offensive coordinator Tyson Helton what he’s looking for as well as we expect to see a more pro-style approach from the Vols in 2018.

According to the 247Sports rankings Chryst was a four-star prospect and the no. 3 ranked pro-style quarterback in the 2014 class. As a graduate transfer he will be eligible to play for Tennessee this season and many believe he’ll immediately be right in the mix to start from day one.
