'19 CA QB JT Daniels (Georgia commit)

[SockeyeVol]

This thread just hit 50 pages.

Per NCAA regulations, JTD is now required to commit to TN.

Good job everyone. I got a little worried when we ran out of hate for our current QB back around page 40, but then we rode that new wave of off-topic GIFs to the finish line. Pencil in two more wins next year!

 

[SockeyeVol]

I wondered how long it would be until this started with recruiting going well.

All it takes is winning 8 games and a hot month of recruiting.

To me, the more interesting question is would Pruitt still replace Saban if he were just a 14-inch tall mini-Pruitt?

 

[The Dog]

If he is eligible, this year, I still want him in Pantone 151

honestly I don't see a reason to take him barring you have a talented freshman who will start at some point whether game 1 or game whatever. JG is atrocious but Bailey, Mauer, and Strout are all young and need an opportunity before bringing in anyone else that could cause Bailey or Mauer to leave. The other 2 are salvageable being that they'll get a commitment from Salter in the near future

If maurer would just play smarter he’d be the starter. So many dumb passes this season. JG is the opposite but he plays so scared. It’s sad

Salter is the TRUTH

I doubt he could beat out Bailey but yes his risk taking is the downside of Mauer, but Chaney coached a real risk taker head case in my guy Tyler Bray who was as crazy as they come.

Lmao tyler was an idiot. Can’t imagine how good he would’ve been with Kiffin tho. Day 2 pick at worst. How far off do you think we are from competing for the East? I’m still thinking 1-2 years

with competent qb play we can compete next yr. Qb play has been our Achilles heel for a long time. Even with Dobbs it was an issue at times. But this yr my only concern is will we be good enough at Qb and Wr to get over the hump. I trust Chaney but not so much the Wrs and TEs. The OL and Rbs will be in every game, but the passing game will be the once season cranks up

Facts. JJ was special and Callaway was solid af. I think Palmer can be really good but he needs help. Hopefully Keyton and one of the freshman (I’m thinking Hyatt) can help. Need brandon johnson or velus Jones to be solid.

If JG would stop thinking and just play we’ll be good. We will see

 

[Evil King Snake]

Any truth to Chaney isn’t very high on HB? I sure hope this isn’t true but if it is at least we have a very options. HB has the arm forsure and he seems to make all the throws on his films. I will go on record and say the next Tom Brady lol

Go on......I like hearing back stories like this

Think HB is good but not year 1

Not to my knowledge at all. He was actually kinda raving about how well he retained the information he was given prior to his arrival and once they started Spr practice.

Bump....just because...and to give anyone who has anything else to say about JG to get it off their chest..

 

[Jack Burton]

so I herd you liek mudkips

Let's see what mudkip has to say about JG.

Oddly, that is more immersive and articulate than some of the QB conversations on here.

The replay of the Gator Bowl was on this morning. SMFH watching the first 3 &2/3 quarters. That’s all I’m going to say. I root for the kid to succeed because why shouldn’t we? Damn if he doesn’t make it really hard to almost impossible sometimes to see him leading us to a win over a big time opponent.

Yeah I ask myself often why we would ever want to add another 5* QB to the mix, really dumb idea imo
Edit: also If he's good enough that Maurer or HB want to transfer, then I'm sure we won't be complaining about his play JS

yup. it's one of the most maddening things about TN football the past two years. "i love JG!!! GBO"...2 plays later "damn, get him out of the game and never let him back!!!"

lol.

I hope this doesn't come across as condescending, but I just don't understand this kind of logic. Mauer and Strout have shown flashes, but neither has convinced me yet that they are the QB to get us back to a championship level. As good as I believe Bailey will be, I once thought the same of JG and other past UT QBs that didn't pan out. On the other hand, Daniels has already shown that he can compete at a high level.

Bring in as much talent as you can, let them duke it out, and we won't miss those who transfer because they weren't going to play anyway. Even if both Maurer and Strout transfer we still have JG, and if Bailey doesn't beat him out, I don't see him transferring immediately. Plus, we will continue to bring in top talent to replace what we have lost, as evidenced by Salter.

If Daniels doesn't win the job, then whoever does win will have benefited from the competition. It's a win on all fronts.

This

i've stayed out of this thread because like all qb threads, they get redundant and sometimes toxic...lol.

but at the end of the day...this is where i'm at on this kid/situation.

we already pretty much accept the fact someone in the QB room is gonna transfer. this either expedites that or maybe two kids do it. either way, i don't htink this affects HB at all. it doesn't affect Salter at all. it won't affect Ty Simpson or Kaden Martin at all.

it could...have a gigantic impact on the 2020 season.....and as someone that's just not overly confident in JG at hte moment, i think i'm fine in getting JTD on campus. and as much as i like the potential of shrout, and marurer in particular, i'm not of the mind set that either is ready to take the reigns full time either.

so, we've all said it....this season goes as far as the QB can take us.....why not go get this kid??? if nothing else, you've just thrown more A+ competition in the boat.

no off season or spring work either...this kid has some experience too....and he has 2 years of eligibility.....which is the last thing on this...with the transfer rules staying as is for now, if the kid can be eligible for 20, then i think this is a no brainer. if not...it's not as desireable....

LSS...i'm in. go get him.

He’d need to win the starting spot or plenty will cuss him taking a spot out of the 21 class.
