I mean I asked earlier "what does it say to Shrout and Maurer if you give HB *all* the snaps?" And that's doubly so, if you don't even plan on playing HB but I get the feeling they are planning on playing HB. That said, I have no idea with this coaching staff's love affair with JG.

EDIT: Even it's the fake one... I still don't understand what we're doing giving HB all the snaps while stating JG is the QB unless we're planning on switching to HB and don't want it openly known yet. Otherwise it just kinda messes with Shrout and Maurer (unless they're both injured) to do that.

But the scrimmage was for freshman, 3rd, 4th stringers, scout guys. CJP isn't throwing QB2 into a meaningless scrimmage and getting him injured.

VQ said earlier don't expect much/any movement on the QB depth chart this season aka HB probably isn't moving up this year. Shrout clearly set himself apart as QB2. Not sure it's close

That was a scrimmage. HB isn't taking snaps at the regular practices throughout the week...

That makes a little more sense but QB2 has had about as much game time as you or I. And what of Maurer who is technically 3rd right now per reports?

It’s odd.

Bailey gets basically no snaps during week in scrimmage. They were just getting him reps. Had nothing to do with other QBs. Bailey is just way behind

The amount of negativity in this place after a loss is tough. Impossible to even get caught up or read posts after a game it appears. As always it’s how you deal with failure that will set you up for success....we will be just fine I believe that.

They need to feel important. Only method that delivers is to fake higher understanding. 😎

Do you have any indication that Pruitt may have to figure out how to deal with Georgia like Fulmer did with Florida over Spurrier's last 4 years? It just seemed like everything was off from the start and I know that UGA had something to do with that, but is there any chance this team and coaching staff were 'too amped up' for this game?

Just sorry fans that think they know more than the ones that are being paid to make these decisions and drive the university to a higher level. The cry babies and negaVols always seem to show themselves. I’ve no doubt Pruitt is the man for the job and will stand by that. We got gassed in the second half and made way too many mental errors against a team you can’t afford one mistake against. Definitely showed everyone what this team is capable of in the first half. Plus the defense played as well as they could until they were exhausted.

Lot to prove there. Some were talking up a top 5 caliber defense. Versus 3 'meh' QBs we are so far ranked in the high 20s overall and in the 40s in pass D (out of just 76 eligible teams at that). My hope is we progress mightily again this year at defense but man we have a ways to go to reach elite.

Talent wise, our team is closest to Pruitt's UGA defenses probably and we are playing about like that. Pretty dang solid, a little shaky at times, but not elite. Pruitt needs more talent to "get there" imo.

Dude...Pruitt is a great defensive coach if nothing else. I think the Covid isht wrecked us.

Listen we are still playing behind the 8ball when it comes to talent compared to what UGA has currently. We have started to close the gap and I think in two years we will have the depth on both sides of the line. My only real gripe is the fact that we have whiffed at QB talent since JP took the reigns. It was well known JG was not the guy and we struck out with JT and now we wait for HB or KS to come in and right the ship. We will win and loose games this year based solely on what kind of mistakes JG makes. Only time will tell. I was not surprised JP didn’t yank JG in such a high profile game due to the fact the line would have probably gotten one of the other QB’s killed. I will be Extremely surprised if you don’t see JG get yanked if he struggles this weekend. Sorry for the rant.

Absolutely agree that there was no point in putting anyone else in last week. At that point in the game their d-line would've simply pasted whoever was back there.

No apology needed. Thanks for your take on it.

Seriously brother I respect the heck out of you, and appreciate all you do..BUT...our collective negativity is well-earned...we have been gutted time after time after time...and yet we are still here...just hanging on to a little hope no matter how many times we get our nuts squashed.

This place is miserable after a loss... I will never understand the defeatist attitude that appears to be prevalent in todays times.

I know this is just football, but it's how you handle the tough times that defines ones true makeup. That's life. Everyone is confident and satisfied when everything goes your way.

Hopefully our team doesn't have the mental makeup of this forum.
