2. “Keller Chryst should start”

I get it; it is just the name of the game when it comes to playing the quarterback position. The back up is always the better option. Every situation in the history of quarterback situations, the backup is always better. Unless you’re talking about Peyton Manning.

    • I never thought I would see the day where Tennessee football fans hate on a quarterback that completed over 70 percent of his passes for close to 200 yards and no turnovers.

    Jarett Guarantano was not the reason the Vols lost. I’ll repeat it. Jarett Guarantano was not the reason the Vols lost.

    If you disagree you either didn’t watch the game or you have some bias narrative against him.

    Did he light up the scoreboard or stat sheet? No. But, honestly, did he have a chance to? The offensive line struggled. So, frankly, it didn’t matter who was taking the snaps.

    Guarantano made one bad throw the entire game. It was on fourth down, and he was rolling out to the right. He had three receivers but airmailed it out of bounds.

    That would have been the right decision earlier in the game. However, with limited time and the team being down by multiple scores, you have to try a force a pass in that situation. But, JG should still be the starter.
