Amen Eastman !! Just let him play, quoting you. That’s what I wish Bobo would do. Gunner Knows against SEC competition he’s not gonna be able to run the ball every play or even most plays. But let him be mobile. Don’t tell him he Has to stay in the pocket.
I know FSU was a weak opponent in the Orange Bowl but Gunner made some nice throws in that game.
In my heart I Believe in Gunner. I know that allowed to play true to his style he Can be a winner for our Dawgs. He desperately needs help from the O Line.
And for my umpteenth time If Kirby feels Pugs is the best man for the job I will fully support him. He has huge potential but the kid got his first ever snaps against Marshall.
Gunner needed Far more real game snaps Before this season. But he has much more experience than Pugs. I actually think it’d be unfair to throw Pugs in the fire of an SEC game this early unless Gunner is injured and they have to. We’ll see…… Go Dawgs !!
@ColumbusDawg @Eastmandawg Amen !! Just Win !! If the Dawgs score TDs and win using 5-10 yd passes mixed in with the running game does it Really matter as long as we Win ??!!?? Yes like allot of fans I love to see a well thrown deep pass. But as long as we’re winning I can live without them.
But the long passes Will come in time. They won’t be nonexistent. Again quoting Yall from your other comments just let Gunner play. Let him be himself. Go Dawgs !!
“when Stockton makes his first career road start”
Nope,second.
His first career road start was in New Orleans last year unless they moved the Superdome to Athens, perhaps his first career SEC road start.
Here we are again Kirby is protecting his quarterback. And rightfully so. He can't outright bash his quarterback to the public. But if you can call out other players of their mishaps be willing to do the same to Gunner. Stop projecting his failures onto to every other player not doing what they are supposed to be doing. Gunner needs to do what he is supposed to be doing which is finding the open man. All the other quarterbacks in the league are doing it. Gunner is no different.
What seems reasonable to me would be to have you complete confidence in Gunner… BUT, if he plays poorly against UT and we wind up losing then I would spend the week off prepping Puglisi and give him a shot.
Saban proved that you can be VERY successful by not showing loyalty in the QB position. Heck, to me, if you're having a bad day and the defense is dominating you then why wouldn't you "shake things up" and try a different QB. What's the worst that can happen? It will probably throw the defense off and can provide that spark in your offense. I really don't know why Smart won't let this happen.
