Who’s to say when the game lights come on he’s a different QB?..that’s my point we will never know!..for 4 years we have seen and known what JG is and has been..how can you defend not giving someone else a try in a live game?...I literally watched Brian Maurer scramble 10 yards to extend a play because nothing was open...JG would have taken a sack,fumbled or threw a pick 6...we have seen it happen for 4 years amd I’m tired of seeing it...

I definitely understand what you’re saying. I liked watching BM play last year even tho his numbers ended up pretty bad.

But Pruitt seems like a big culture guy as well. And this program has needed a culture overhaul since Kiffin. So he’s not gonna play someone who hasn’t earned the playing time. Doesn’t matter if the fans want it. That player hasn’t earned it. And I guarantee you the player also knows he hasn’t earned it.

We had a QB here not long ago who was complete ass in practice but when the lights came on it was game time and he was completely a different QB...who was it Dobbs?

Dobbs wasn’t “complete ass in practice”. He did so well that Riley Ferguson transferred. He and his family really wanted him to redshirt for a season and Butch tried to honor that. You can easily take fault with his timing. Worley actually played well in Norman, Dobbs sophomore season, but even then you could see we needed something else with that OL. What we eventually saw against SC. Dobbs is a perfectionist...that didn’t just show up in Columbia.

I have no knowledge, but I heard the “Iceman” Casey Clausen was not great in practice, but he sure was what we needed in the game. I don’t think that is who you are talking about though.

From SWAN:

Spoke at length with someone “close” today

—-So TN had a scrimmage last night and Mauer, who this person thinks gives us a real chance, threw two quick interceptions and was immediately yanked.

—- Shrout is at the bottom of the depth chart

—-Mauer just can’t figure it out— read between the lines

— HB is making serious strides every day

—- they really like Frosh Wr’s....room was decimated in fall camp with the virus

—— JG is currently the best we have

—— this person LOVES SALTER

not much but some clarity on the QB situation

Damn, if interceptions are being thrown in our scrimmages, maybe our defense is starting to look like defenses we play on Saturday

Yeah it's gonna get interesting in here when we start losing kids in recruiting because they can even see the problems we are having with coaching, or lack of and team chemistry... I wonder what Pruitt's excuse will be if he gets called out on it... our momentum has stalled and regressed with a ton of kids it seems, they are probably wondering and asking the same questions we are about the lack of development and QB issues. If they watched the last two games, they can see a team that has lost it's fight and doesn't care, going through the motions. Who would want to sign up for more of that? All eyes were on the Bama game and we looked defeated before the end of the first quarter and played that way the entire game. Don't kid yourself if you think recruits don't see this. They don't expect us to beat Bama, but they expect us to show some fire and fight and leave it all on the field. We left it all in the locker room, sidelines, and pressbox... Can't even remember the last time I saw something positive from our coaching staff in terms of recruiting, tweets, anything. Nothing from Metal Vol and I doubt we see @Atlanta VOL anymore this season. Yeah boys, it's broken...

He was one of them I know!...Dobbs was another I’m pretty sure because he was like 4th on the depth chart and was forced to play and he never looked back

There are a few examples of guys being poor practice players and good game players but there are vastly more examples of poor practice players that are also poor in games.

All I know is he was 4th on the depth chart..the statement was more of a question..we talked about it in the RF a while back around the damn Andy Kelly BS..😂 I’m pretty sure it was Clausen as another poster pointed out..

Most fans could make that throw. That is just putting up a contested ball and Josh Palmer making a play. The second throw to Palmer was much more impressive.

JG has always had decent touch on deep balls where it is just a matter of reading one safety, counting to three, and letting it fly. Unfortunately that isn't even 10% of what a QB needs to be able to do to be successful.

Anyway, the guy in your video made one of the classic blunders... Celebrating a JG throw without remembering he's an accident waiting to happen.

We’ve had zero de-commits since season started but I’m guessing by your post that you speak personally to our recruits? Doesn’t mean it won’t happen but how would you know without speaking to the recruits?

We are trending for Nyland Green.

What the F are you talking about?

Note: if this is a sarcasm post and I just didn’t pick up on it then that’s my B
