Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

[Power T-Rev]

Bray was missing it above the shoulders...some similarities to JG.

Bray could sling it though

So can JG but he chooses to make sure he hits a check down instead of going for the big play. Gotta pad them stats bro.

Work ethic and leadership qualities were bad. You need that with the talent to win at a high level.

 

[GroverCleveland]

You sure do have a unique take on an OC already being paid 1.3 million apparently by people that didn't care much for him.
Hope someone doesn't care that much for me one day.

I understand the take is nuanced. It is about the relative relationship between the offers. Never said they did not want him. NEVER said that.

But unless I am mistaken, as someone has intimated, the only thing I have postulated is UGA did not put up much of a fight. Unless, of course, your position is that by continuing to pay him what they were already paying him is putting forth effort to keep him. Which, if one is disposed to be of the mind he was taken, would be, seemingly, a necessary take.

 

[BigSteve09]

it's so weird what "fans" comment with under players' posts

 

[UTProf]

It's a bit odd players are even responding to the JG talk. They shouldn't really feel the need to.

 

[cHiZzLeVOL]

That's an OR for Maurer or Shrout. JG still gonna start

Think that’s just for the backup.

F!

 

[KPT_VFL]

It’s sad that the players have already resorted to defending their QB from fans on Twitter after one game. It was Ga State... should have rolled in handle your business and never looked back... instead we are 0-1. As far as I’m concerned they deserve criticism and if they can’t handle it then should have gone somewhere else.

Or he chooses to sling a short pass like he's trying to break down the walls of Jericho. I don't think it's a stat thing tho.

Ron mad and that’s all I need to know

They’ve took down Bass & they’ve took down Ron. Nobody’s left.

It is just everyone is tired of it, really. Stop talking. Start doing. Deeds are more powerful than words. We've heard words for too long. Show me or get gone.

Bray could do things throwing the football that few on Rocky Top have been able to equal.

Jarrett Gaurantano has no business being mentioned in the same sentence as Tyler Bray.

I would be worried if other players weren’t supporting their QB. I hope a team does that. It’s only natural. Not sure why that’s a big deal.

A

Ask the same group of Vol fans to name their most hated Vol QB, and you’ll probably get a lot of befuddled looks. People would struggle to come up with a name.

We don’t think like that as fans. At least not usually.

Jarrett Guarantano making a push to go down as the first Vol QB I can really remember to be despised, actually despised, by a large swath of the fan base.

That kid needs a major attitude adjustment.

[rjd970]

I feel a little better after watching the player interviews...but....

Georgia. State.

...it still stinks to high heaven.

 

[TheMagnificantOne]

You notice the ones that keep saying they have his back are the ones not playing.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Watching Louisville play like this after an abysmal season makes it worse!
Why can’t we have nice things during fb season?!

Something is broken at UT

We shouldn’t be having this conversation over Ga St. I would never post on a kids twitter though.

Very. Been watching football since last Thursday and I can say every team I’ve seen looks like they’re on a totally level. Even the losers.

 

[VolGee4]

Yea, I get that. But that’s where we are and why they are saying it. You can’t criticize a kid for supporting his team mate.

Cool, win the Fn game and nobodies talking about it.

I do take that salary as "intention to keep" kinda pay. But it was reported somewhere that 1.6 was our second offer after Ga met our first, along with "something Ga couldn't offer". Which I believe it was to do with his daughter and her passion for equestrian blah blah. Don't remember exactly but I definitely do remember the "didn't want anyway" stuff was from butthurt Ga supporters.

So can JG but he chooses to make sure he hits a check down instead of going for the big play. Gotta pad them stats bro.

I really think Chaney probably emphasized this with him. He still did not play well but I think Chaney has told him to do it more instead of taking a sack. I'm not making excuses. He played very mediocre at best but I think they wanted him to check down some, just maybe not as much as he did.

 

[VolGee4]

Exactly. That’s basically what I said. But it happened, and they are supporting their team mate. That’s the least of our worries. Your argument is more about winning the game, and that’s in the past.

Ian book 54 yards?? Might have to toss his ass

None of them can take criticism these days. That’s the issue. They are already in the excuses and making fun of the loss. I expect an 0-2 start to the season.
