Recruiting Forum Football Talk II

[Gilbert]

I think we’re stuck as a middle tier program in the SEC unless we get a program changing QB. We recruit well but not at an elite level. To recruit at an elite level you have to win. To win, you have to recruit at an elite level. It’s a catch 22.

We’ve improved but today showed the gap is still massive. It’s the jimmies and joes. And I like CJP a lot and think he is a very good coach. Put him at UGA and he’s better than Kirby imo.

JG going to stay the starter. I just need to accept it. Tastes like **** though.

 

[Jack Burton]

TID is a lock to UGA now.

It will get harder and harder to get elite players. We can’t continue to sell “we’re so close” when losing by 3 TDs to every big boy team.

 

[vol9799]

I disagree. JG has shown he has gotten better this year and good enough to beat any of those. Our OL just didn't show up at all today. Might as well have put our second string in.

Gotten better? 3 TO's in one half is better?

He is the same guy he has always been. Pretty good about 20% of the time; average 50% of the time and subpar 30% of the time.

 

[butchna]

I’ve never been that impressed with him.

He’s a good player. He’s nothing special.

If we hadn’t landed him, the usual suspects would have been permanently dehydrated.

Bunch of whiny butts in here. Sack up, gang! I guarantee our boys won’t lay down and quit. We will learn from this. We pushed them. We just let the snowball roll too fast and weren’t able to stop it until it was too late. Credit them for applying steam when they smelt blood. We gonna beat one of Bama or Florida this year. Get ready.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Pruitts the guy but we are a slightly above average team still playing Kurott Garlands and other bitch leftovers and have no depth and got sold on hype of our OL when we haven’t beaten anyone worth a crap in years.

We have a good OL and will steamroll a bunch of teams. I have seen a ton of good OLs have games like this. We still have a bunch of young OL guys playing, they are talented but young.

21-17 felt good.

I watched the first half and they watched golf during halftime. I just had a feeling we were gonna get drugged in the second half so I didn't go back to the game. That was a good decision for me. As soon as I saw the final score, I deleted the game. I'm learning how to watch these games to help manage unnecessary stress.

Big Jim has to do way better. He put JG in a terrible spot to begin the second half and then kept doing it

What spot did JC put JG in the second half?

 

[KPT_VFL]

We always fall for false hope. UT is a long way behind UGA and Bama. Sad times. Gotta recruit better but hard to get kids in the boat when you lose to your rivals by 30 3 times a year.

It is JG limiting Chaney.

Pruitt was asked that in the post game. Basically said no reason to switch. Blamed it on the protection.

 

[rjd970]

If I’m a HS QB then no way do I consider UT. Even being better won’t be good enough to get on the field. It’s really ****ing hard to believe JG is our best option in the QB room right now.

 

[Batman1948]

I agree and the OL played terribly today and should be judged for it. But I think they WILL own up. All those penalties...all those bad run plays. Friend and the guys will own up.

We started this game way too tight and it went down hill from there. Those penalties were very telling.

 

[zhangliao04]

Arkansas just got screwed by the refs

I thought the excuse last year was because he got us into the right play and protections. He cant even do that this year.

SEC referees strike again in Auburn - Arkansas game

Review is worthless if they can't even get something like that right.

Yep. Once you are bad it is impossible to pull yourself up again. SEC is just brutal to the bottom of the conference.

 

[orangejuice]

Does anyone else struggle to watch other games after we lose? I lose interest for the week.

If you can't see that JG has gotten better than last year then you're just ready to blame JG on everything. OL was horrible. Didn't allow him much of anything the whole game. He had a few bad decisions like his one INT when he was throwing while walking backwards, but this whole thing isn't his fault.

 

[Specks]

Listening to JP and he said players that didn't play well got replaced or will. He said the practice tomorrow night will give others a chance to step up.

Didn't like the pass interference on 3rd and 14 nor the targeting but both may have been legit penalties.

Too many false starts.

He said the OL didn't look good. Is it something UGA did, maybe, but we are better than that and have to play better than that.

Disappointed in our play on 3rd down. lol....just said Bob it pisses me off and I have to do a better job.

Says JG turned the ball over 3X and could've had 4. He does not sound happy.

It's about return on your investment, JG has a 0% ROI at this point.

 

[Devo182]

Not JGs fault. It was the OL... simple as that

They got bullied entire game

So frustrating

Need 20+ 5 stars across the board like them. Everyone invest with your local bagman

At start of 4th quarter, Banks kicked a UGA player in a pile. Did anyone else see this? It was on a replay
I am curious if it will be reviewed by the conference. It was a really dumb move
