Both JM and JG suffer from the same terminal issue. They have to see the receiver open to throw the ball. They can't throw anyone open. The amount of extra time that requires just kills the play. JGs Alabama game when Pruitt gabbed him by the facemask was as bad as it gets. This debate is pointless. The difference is suck is minute in the bigger picture. The big picture is that they both suck.

This is the SEC and probably the closest thing to the NFL. An SEC QB should be able to hit a 2 yard window. If a receiver has his guy beat by a step or two, the QB better be able to fit it in more times than not.

I generally agree. JM really can't do this. That overthrow to White was hard to watch because he clearly had a step. My unofficial memory thinks we had 4 deep shots and I think all 4 times the receiver had at least a step and he missed. Not accurate on the deep ball. Not accurate in the mid range. Not accurate enough in short range and not enough touch. JM has show a few times he can get in rhythm and do ok. He just doesn't live in that space most of the time.

He’s definitely accurate in the short range. Two weeks ago 12 of his 14 completions were 6 yards or less beyond the line of scrimmage. People look at his completion percentage and automatically think it’s not him, but all of these dumb swing passes and short dumpoffs majorly boosted his stats and have been all year long.

Sure the stats say he is accurate but you can see the receivers don't always catch the ball in stride. It impacts the timing.

3 games with zero 2nd half points. I know everyone is fired up about Banks (rightfully so) but this offense has been anemic. It reminds me a lot of the CBJ offense post -Dobbs

Exactly. The last 5 SEC games we've scored 17 2nd half points. 7 were on a punt return TD. Zero Halftime adjustments!

Tbf JG was also throwing to NFL WRs like Palmer and Jennings

Well he also didn’t step out of bounds on the last play of a game instead of throwing the ball or run out bounds short of the sticks on a free play

This is an astonishing Vandy-esque type stat.

No doubt! I was wrong, I forgot about the 2 FG's vs AM. So it's 23 2nd half points, but still just one offensive TD, one punt return TD and 3 FG's. And two of those teams were UK and A'M. The other 3, Ala, Mizzou and Ga we didn't score any 2nd half pts.

Similarities of Joe & JG in the red zone are alarming. Joe isn’t good finding receivers in confined areas, neither was JG.

In hindsight, 8-4 was pretty fair. 9-3 would have stung less

Being competitive in most every game at this juncture for Hype is welcomed.

Hopefully we get some real growth next year and find some gems in the portal.

Better days ahead.

We've been outscored 66-9 the second half in our four losses....The 9 points came against Florida.

Don't care who we are playing and how good....That's a sobering issue.
