[Daaah]

I didn't see it mentioned but perhaps I just missed it. It sounds like Tennessee quarterback JT Shrout is coming to the buffs. Anyone know anything about him?

I’m old, so don’t really know what I’m doing on social media, but I was reading his Twitter. Tennessee fans seem genuinely bummed he’s leaving, sounds like he has a big arm, and some even think he has NFL potential—this seems like a pretty big deal.

 

[BuffUp]

reads like an upgrade over Tyler, we will see.

Woman I've been on and off with for a few years is a Tennessee alum (don't ask)-so I've seen a fair amount of their games. Here's what I can tell you-This kid has a huge arm. I thought he was the best QB they had. Solid pocket presence and a fairly good decision maker. He's the best QB on the roster in 2021 in my opinion as of now, and this is a great move-regardless of what Noyer decides after Tuesday night.

Can easily see him starting the 2021 opener for us. Welcome to the herd, JT!

3 years playing time left, Lewis won't be sleeping easy tonight

I hope Lewis beats him out next year.

He shouldn't be. Any coach in America in KD's shoes would have found another option to at least credibly provide competition for Lewis regardless of whether or not Noyer leaves. If Lewis is what we think he is, he shouldn't have trouble beating Shrout out.

Not sure I've seen a transfer who was as well liked from a fan based as Shrout. Tennessee fans are legitimately pissed they lost him.

Sounds like he has a massive arm.

I still have PTSD from the last time that a Tennessee QB "transferred" to CU.

Where are you seeing this? Everything I’ve seen is the typical well wishes, nothing more.

I’m hate QBs with just a massive arm...

i.e. Steven Montez, Jay Cutler

You forgot John Elway

You forgot John Elway

and Marino, Mahomes, Rothlesberger

I'd much rather have a qb with a little pop-gun like Cody.

Small arms and rated 2 stars or less are my favorite, imagine how motivated they are

My wife is a Tennessee fan, so I saw all their games over the past couple years. One of the main reasons Tennessee fans want their coach fired is because of how bad he’s handled the QB position. Their two best QBs were Shrout and Harrison Bailey, who was a true freshman this season. However, Pruitt kept starting 5th year senior Jarrett Guarantano this season, who played horribly and lost several games for them. He was finally benched with about 3 games left, and then Shrout and Bailey split time. A lot of fans felt Shrout was the best QB on the roster, but Pruitt seemed to not like him for some reason. He would make a minor mistake, and Pruitt would pull him, when he would let Guarantano make mistake after mistake without taking him out of the game. Shrout is very good and seems to be universally liked by UT fans. He also has NFL potential. Here’s a thread on volnation discussing him transferring to Colorado.

Nice!

 

[Trufflesauce]

Love what I'm seeing so far

 

[Bread]

Oh no. Any number but #12, it's too soon.

 

[Bison]

Warming up to this QB. That arm looks impressive and could be good for keeping opposing DBs further back from the LOS.

I love Noyer but I don’t think he’s a QB who would be the starter for a full season.

 

[Hugegroove]

If Noyer stays, it should be good competition in 2021 at a fairly crowded position.

 

[BuffWarHog]

Third string, pro style QB (not sure this fits our current offensive system), from a putrid team, that was not rated as high as our current second string (dual threat). Put me down for “wait and see” and “good addition for depth” camp.

 

[leftybuff]

That is a big arm. Welcome aboard.

Doesn’t everyone fall into those categories before reporting to camp?
