Exactly, no one should care. He played his heart out for TN. the kid was tough as nails but was not SEC caliber QB. I hold no ill will toward him but Pruitt should have moved on to Bailey.

This. He's a good kid who tried hard but had no business being a Power 5 QB, much less in the SEC. Pruitt is the one who deserves the wrath for continuing to roll him out there when it was crystal clear that JG was in way over his head.

I'm very surprised he didn't get playing time on Friday because the Cougars were steamrolling my Huskies in a game that continued to get worse in the 2nd Half.

I hate that he never could succeed to be a reliable starting QB for the Volunteers because he's passionate about playing Football, is tough as steel, and he gives 100 percent effort. All reasons why he is an admirable champion even though he never was able to achieve the desired result for the Volunteers which is to be a starting QB in the league of Ainge, Dobbs, etc.

Got injured in the first game and the starter has played well enough for them. I have no I’ll will for him, and wish he had a chance to see if it was coaching or just him on game day. Personally I think he should have gone to a non power 5 school during his transfer.

This is his 6th year. He started the opener against Utah St. and got hurt and then started against Utah on 9/25 where he threw 3 ints, the last one returned 54 yards for a TD to seal the game for Utah.

I don't think he was hurt after that. He only started against Utah because de Laura was hurt. So not sure he qualifies for a medical redshirt.

His first redshirt wasn’t due to medical reasons which has traditionally cost the athlete an appeal for the second…like our Jerry Colquitt. Maybe that’s changed since Marcus Jackson lost his when he tore his bicep before the season after redshirting the previous to get more playing time his senior season.

Number 1 dual QB in the class of 2016. Absolutely DESTROYED by incompetence in CFB. I can really see him winning a few Grey Cups before getting a shot in the NFL. Talent. Check. Heart. Check. Development...... Oh He!! No

Did you see the kid play in high school? He’s just not a running QB.

I think his coach got fired. Lol. I’m dead serious. I’m thinking that’s like 3 coaches now. Seriously though, getting competent qb play is the single most important thing a coach has to have happen to be successful. When we look back at Pruitt tenure…that fumbling bumbling bama hillbilly coaching the qbs is the most pathetic chapter in our illustrious history. By far. I have to say thanks fulmer for backdooring your day butt in the building for one last big payday at our expense. Please stay gone forever.

Got injured and believe it or not, I think it qualifies him for a medical redshirt so he could potentially see another eligible year... wouldn't that be like 7 or 8 ??? Could he be out of college as Doctor Guaratano ???

With his injuries he's got a degree by now

I also thought it was odd he wasn't put in with about 5:00 left. WSU was up 40-13.

He got a knee injury with like 10mins to go in the 2nd quarter in their opener, but his stats show how bad our coaching staff were when he was here.

In the two games he played he has
304yds 1-TD. 3-INT 8-Sacks and a 31.2-QBR

Guy is tough and has a lot of heart, but he just isn’t a D-1 starting QB maybe D-3 or D-2 Starter/Backup.

I remember watching a UT/UF game a few years ago and the announcer said that they had asked the coaching staff to describe JG in one word and the overwhelming response was “tough”. Then I read somewhere in response someone said “yes he is tough to describe!”

Yeah got hurt in the first game. Came back though, and didn't do well. I remember seeing him throw a pick 6 in crunch time (gave me flashbacks) to seal the loss. Most recently saw him do mop up duty in a WSU win. He's been riding the pine for the most part.....couldn't get a starting job in the PAC 12.

He should have a 401k through NCAAF by now.
