I feel sorry for this kid. All the expectations, preconception of Vol-godhood, and frenzy. All the while the usual damnation and Miltonic hatred, or Guarantano gutting awaiting him if he even slightly underperforms. I pity the kid. Hopefully, Heupel can protect him from potential permanent psychological damage when or if the worm turns.

It's crazy how everyone hyping him up and expecting him to be this amazing SEC QB and he hasn't even started college yet.

Not just the practices, but the suspension of the 20 hour rule since class isn't in session is HUGE! All that extra time for extra practices, meetings, film watching with players, etc is invaluable in the development of the young guys.

They also get to travel to the bowl game and participate in practice there and be on the sidelines according to AP

JG as a human being, by all accounts deserves no criticism. Seems to be a great young man, and i wish him all possible success in life. He actually just signed as a practice squad QB in the NFL ...he was always great at practice. Good for him.

JG as a quarterback, and his performance as a QB for UT absolutely deserves serious criticism and there is zero doubt about that. He is the worst multiple season QB in UT football history in my 45 years of life. He LOST 2 out of 3 games he started. He threw back to back pick 6s in Neyland stadium to get us boatraced at home to a far inferior UK team. He consistently could not hit the broad side of a barn....throwing incompletions in our own backfield on passes so short that they are essentially just running plays, on an every game basis. It was painful to watch...and many here felt the dread of knowing we were gonna lose every week regardless of how the defense played. He was THAT bad.

Statistically, win/loss record, Amount of UT fans lost because they said they would never watch another game with him at QB...you name it. He was the worst UT starter in the modern era that played more than a game or 2.

We went 13 consecutive quarters without a single TD with JG at QB!! Yall remember that? We had NFL talent at RB and WR then as well. It did not matter. He was that bad as a UT QB. There is no sugar coating his time here. I wish the guy every success and happiness in life ....but he was a terrible college QB. That is a fact.

But how many hundreds of times is it necessary to say "JG is NOT a P5 QB!! - harumphh!!!" - ? He deserves NO criticism. He was trotted out repeatedly to take continual beatings, and did the best he could in a role he should not have been in. That's the head coaches fault, every damned day of the week.

YEAH-YEAH-YEAH. JG, per se, isn't the topic, SIGH! The point is the faction of Vols fans who relish posting denigrating comments about players.
They did it to CH and his mom, JC, AF,

What I meant as "it went too far" is the personal attacks on him including death threats. Complain about his performance as much as you want, some people need to not root for the Vols if they are going to take it that far. It is, after all, just a dam game at the end of day.

Ha ha. Can't believe i haven't thought about that soup for decades. Was a time I lapped this stuff like a starving puppy. Wouldn't touch the over-salted hypertension inducing junk these days. But it was hmmmm, good while I mistakenly thought it was.

The potential of Nico with his ability and combined with Heupels offense and QB coaching abilities is just too much to not get excited about.
