Every player, on our roster, should be recruited over every year. That's the only way we're gonna close the gap on Bama, Georgia, and the other power's that be in the SEC. If people can't see that, they don't understand how Bama continues to recruit at the top level.

The problem with that theory, which is a good one, is that we have a HC that will not play them even if they are more talented. He plays who practices best in his opinion. With that method you are practicing against your own roster, so you never really know what you have until the season is nearly gone. So what if you have a guy who dominates against his teammates if he cannot against opponents in games.

Just speculation but I don't think Chaney has the final say on who the QB is. And if he did, it most likely wouldn't be JG.

I can't imagine he was just thrilled with the idea of having to run the ball on third and long 5 times against Bama. Could be wrong.

I don’t get the impression that Pruitt is just letting Chaney run the offense. I think there are a lot of restrictions in place.

Am I shocked that one of the most highly compensated offensive coordinators in football doesn't know what good QB looks like? If that's true, then yes I am. You'd think 1.6M a year might buy the ability to evaluate a QB.

But if it's true that HB isn't as good as billed, and it's true that Chaney didn't actively recruit HB at UGA, then maybe Chaney is better at this than you think.

I think the QB situation is more dictated by Pruitt than Chaney.

********. Doesn’t matter if he has his cell phone number or not unless he’s a member of that coaching staff he has zero right to text any coach complaints about his coaching

We only have 1 local gas station owned by an older Indian couple...Biltmore Grocery...not the nicest looking place but so friendly. They would special order stuff for me and always keep things stocked just for individuals. Always giving me things on the house and offering Indian meals I could preorder for Saturdays.

Unfortunately they just got bought out...million dollar condos popping up on our block and well...there goes the neighborhood...hate that shiz, but hopefully they made out handsomely.

This reads like an intro scene for a Christmas movie. I can see it - the camera comes over a mountain top to a shot of your small hometown. Its a snowy day. Kids having a snowball fight. Camera is taking a flyover view of the town as you (the lead character all grown up) do a voice over, telling a story about how your small town was growing and changing, and how you missed the good people who no longer live there because the growth and change pushed them out. Right after you say, 'there goes the neighborhood,' the camera transitions through the kitchen window, mom has been cooking all day, and you say, 'Oh yeah, where was I? It was Christmas. 1992...." and now were back at your childhood self running around the corner of the kitchen, bumping into your older sister, she calls you a 'twerp' and off we go!

....Did i take it to far? I think I took it too far. lmao

Agree I believe Pruitt is micromanaging, hope not but I think he is?

This is nothing more than wild speculation.

Not to interupt your forum tantrum too much, but how is it more speculative than what you are saying?

Either Pruitt or Chaney have the final say on who starts at QB. Considering we have no way to prove it is either one of them, saying JG is Chaney's guy is just as much of a "wild speculation" as saying JG is Pruitt's guy.

If an experienced offensive coordinator is worth his salt, and he is completely handcuffed by an inexperienced head coach to the degree that he can't even play the quarterback that he wants, then he should resign and go elsewhere. Chaney is a problem whether it is his decision to stick with JG or he is letting Pruitt dictate that decision to him.

Lol just message board assumptions and freak out. Kid didn’t have a spring or fall camp. Coaches don’t throw out freshman sometimes when they have those and people expected they would throw him out there in anything but garbage duty? The real head scratcher is why Maurer hasn’t gotten more rep not Bailey. Maurer brought life to the offense last year. He brought more options to table.

Basically have people freaking out over AP opinion that in today’s game you need someone with legs to make a play when it breaks down. He is right and that is what coaches lean toward now but it doesn’t mean the staff thinks HB is a bust.

Yeah then he threw like 3 interceptions in the endzone and couldn’t stay healthy.

Bailey got his 5th... Finally

Well...on vq haha. Composite he was just inside the top 100. Behind guys like crompton, jg, bray, salter (if his ranking sticks). A decent bit above guys like Ainge and Dobbs (~160). Last composite 5* afaik was Clausen.

So HB is an afterthought? Is that the consensus now? Sad that they won’t give the kid a chance and seems Chaney has thrown him aside.
Click to expand...
Don't think anyone has said that. Maybe it is how VQ feels (wgaf) and maybe Chaney isn't the highest on him...ok...but if he is actually good none of that matters. He will get his opportunities once he actually has a Spring camp lol. Guy has simply walked into the worst possible situation and guys ranked similar to him here at UT in the past (minus Bray) all needed time to develop.

People just need to chill and let the kid develop.

The argument that our coaching staff leans toward a mobile QB over a pocket QB makes no sense whatsoever. Chaney started Fromm over Fields and watched him transfer to Ohio State and become a Heisman Trophy candidate.
Click to expand...
Chaney or Smart? I would argue it may have been more Smart than Chaney.

Track Chaney since Eason - Fromm (quite mobile) - Fields (great mobility) - King (great mobility) - Salter (same) - Simpson (quite mobile)
