This post is like reminiscing about an old girlfriend, or the Tasty Kakes your got as a kid from your grandparents. Try either now and you realize they both are terrible and you romanticized both over time. JG was the proverbial "bill of goods" of all QB's UT ever got. He was a top 5 ranked dual threat QB and the only dual threat he every posed was to UT itself in his terrible decision making and play.Let's be clear JG Is by no means close to the worst QB UT has ever had. In fact id go so far to say he deserves a lot of credit for sticking through 4 years of unrelenting hate and providing some of the few bright spots we had during those horrendous years. We had bad teams. Those teams were not bad because of JG they were bad because the program itself was a mess. he made the best of it and beat out everyone who tried to take his spot. he was better than any other QB we had competing with him. And they tried to replace him many times every year.
I find it insane that people decide to hate on players like him who never did anything but give their all. Never got in trouble or made the school look bad. He is the type of person who's going to make it in life because they do their best no matter the situation. Bro is a VFL if there ever was one. He gave us 4 years and as much as you all want to imagine if we had started any of those other yahoos it would have been worse. Evidenced by what happened anytime they tried replacing him. If his name had been Billy Bob Mccoy and he had blue eyes, the same record people would be singing his praises as a scrappy underdog.
The old girlfriend comparison is apt. It didn't work out the way you wanted and you parted mutually... so move on with your life. just because it didn't work out with you does not mean you can't be happier with someone else and she can't make someone else happy. Move on with your life. She tried her best it just didn't work out. It's not like she was cheating or acting crazy.. she put forth the effort she just had weird eyebrows you couldn't stand looking at.This post is like reminiscing about an old girlfriend, or the Tasty Kakes your got as a kid from your grandparents.

He was really sharp during practice vs air though.
