I said that after the Spring game. I wasn’t impressed and still folks on here blasted me for it.
JG isn’t a winner. He isn’t a playmaker.
he has taken some shots...and gotten roughed up. Is that more about his own persona and ego, or is it truly self sacrificing for the team? This team lacks leadership.
Geronimo probably would be a better qb, i believe hes a rythym passer. If he had any semblance of a decent running game, he could set up PA. Problem is his arm isnt good enough to sling it, has no touch.
His game management skills lack. His Line is even worse. If y'all want frosh to play, dw, this line wont block for JG.
It wasn’t the line’s fault on the laser that was the first pass of the game to Chandler. It’s on him, he needs to put touch on the ball. And the same with the pass on 4th down to Palmer, no touch on it either. He was off target early and often and he had plenty of time to throw the ball. He didn’t see the blitz coming from the corner which led to the fumble. He has to see the defense cheating over to cover it and he completely missed it. I could continue but I won’t.

I know a lot of folks beating up JG and Chaney, but honestly the fault should be on the defense bc we scored enough to beat them. It’s like we have never seen anyone run the option nor were we able to adjust to it. Our DL has no push against GA state. Our LBs started out ok in the 1st half but clearly they have No depth.
Yeah love it. Spend 9 months watching all the news on football, getting lots of indication on team improving and wham 2 plays into the first game and the season already sucks. Great fun!!!!Defense was inexperienced and unprepared for them.
But, the 3 turnovers on offense led to the loss. You can’t turn the ball over and expect to win.
Same reason those high divers always have a stream of water spraying into the pool, reduces risk of injury.
The stats are misleading sometimes as well. 6 of his 12 ints in his junior year were tip drill ints that bounced off his receivers hands. He also had 11 tds passes that were dropped in the end zone. His team averaged 11 drops per game that year. His senior year looks much better due to the receivers getting better at catching. They only averaged 5 drops a game in 2018.I like Maurer and we should maybe include rushing numbers to be totally fair, but them's a lot of INTs! He did much better his senior season though! Hopefully both progress from great prospects to become college stud QBs.
Not willing to go there. I know Pruitt can develop talent. Just look at a. Taylor and Thompson. Yesterday was just poor mismanagement and unwilling to properly prepare for GSUHopefully he sticks. Then again im sure Pruitt and co will find a way to botch his development. Hope HB is good at throwing 6 year comeback routes bc thats our playbook apparently.
Based on what happened in the game yesterday , I have doubts about any Vol coach(including Chaney) being considered a great teacher. The play selection and clock management on the last drive in the first half was laughable.If Bailey decommits, that is a death sentence for Pruitt. HB is the last shred of hope this fan base has to hold on to. Hope he can see that he is the future of the program and that Chaney would be a great teacher for him.
You are crazy if you don't think Chaney is a great teacher. I know Saturday sucked, but put the pipe down.Based on what happened in the game yesterday , I have doubts about any Vol coach(including Chaney) being considered a great teacher.
