I'd take all 4 of those QB's over JG. Wilson is the only QB i'd hesitate on. (Rather have Gatewood)

I just think Costello turns it over too much. He's already thrown 9 picks this season in 3 games. I dont see anything Nix is really any better at than JG. Wilson can't throw at all and Hill is just another serviceable QB much like JG.

Hill seems to make quicker reads, though he's a literal statue in the pocket. Nix/ Wilson can at least run around and make something happen. I think Costello's TO's are more so a product of their offense. None of these are good options by any means, i just think JG is awful.

Nix at least beat Bama, meanwhile JG looked like a JV quarterback against them.

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.

I'm of the opinion that if you're recruited as a QB in the SEC, you probably have the ability to manage the position. If not, then why are you being recruited? I find it hard to believe that any of our QB's can be so inferior to JG that they can't even sniff the field. If Pruitt rides with JG for the entire season, without giving anyone any meaningful snaps, we're probably gonna be in deep sh*t next year at the QB position too unless he brings in a STUD transfer. I think we have to play our way out of this mess with one of the young guys. Just my 2 cents and it means nothing.

It’s amazing that at this point in the 2020 season JG is our best option. Many of us said it all offseason, he doesn’t have it and never will. We need a dynamic QB to get us back to beating teams that matter. JG has never been that guy and never will be.

Hope these Sunday scrimmages get Bailey the work he needs because he’ll be QB1 sooner than later, I don’t care what VQ mods or anyone else says. Bama is going to be up by 30 at halftime so hopefully HB gets the 2nd half and never looks back.

And we need Salter to be the guy we all hope he can be coming in next year.

Having to watch JG trot out there each week for the last couple seasons is such a defeating sight. If it were me I’d rotate HB and Shrout this weekend like Spurrier did back in the day until one of them earns the QB1 job. But JG has had enough time, he’s a good 3rd string backup in this league.

Maybe they’ll be BETTER than they currently are...with the extra time? I was a preseason advocate for giving everyone equal shot at the job...minus prescience of an epidemic that would wipe out all preparations. Tinker with everything QB this early and you’re in danger of losing them all NOW. Ask Fulmer. He did it twice...his only two losing seasons.

Completely agree. I don’t understand where Maurer has went. At least he’s a playmaker who can make things happen. If Bailey isnt ready, play him

The reason Maurer doesn't get more of a chance is that he is careless with ball...2TD to 5 INT.....in his limited amount of work.

I don’t think that would have doomed him without the injuries. Wasn’t the same after he returned and that’s what he was graded on.

Yes it has. But they need game experience ASAP. Perfect opportunity this weekend vs a one dimensional UK. Have JG hold the clipboard this weekend and let the other guys play. We’re going to beat UK anyway. And if the other guys implode bring in JG. He does better off the bench anyway. But we’re not making it all season with JG unless we’re happy with 5-5 at best.

Dabo has been at Clemson for 12 years. He has 4 top 10 classes and only just pulled his first top 5 class last year. If Pruitt is the coach for the job, then he will be able to get it done pulling top 10 classes. The next step is finding the QB who can get us over the hump in the big games. Find that guy and win the East 1 time, and the top 5 classes will fill themselves.

Dabo does not play in the SEC either. His path to the top was much easier than it's gonna be for Pruitt.

JG played 10 pretty darn good quarters

JG is the QB unless he gets hurt

JG played pretty darn well that first half at Ga

let’s face it Peyton Manning wouldn’t have played well against that pass rush in the second half







sorry guys another high level coach doesn’t see what all you guys see.
