Hope he makes it in the NFL.

Hearing boos?

Wow.

Sad. Nobody should ever boo a player. I wish the kid well, though I don't have a lot of confidence that he will be a NFL quarterback.

I think most of the fans were booing the coaching staff... not him personally. ..

Every NFL quarterback has been booed at some point.  

GG's gotta have thicker skin than that if he hopes to make it in the NFL.  He's got the physical skill-sets and desired measurables.  Now he needs to work on mental toughness.

i'm guessing that's hard to distinguish when you're on the field.

that 2010 season was such a cluster. Mack repeatedly saying he was 'pouting' after the bama game, the HCIW trainwreck, the knee-jerk 'we're converting to a power running team' decision when we didn't have near the personnel to do so.  no GG wasn't very good, but he had plenty of company that year.  he's since  proved to be serviceable at smu and evidently is good enough to at least get a look in the NFL.

Don't forget in post game press conferences deferring to Muschamp and Davis when he got questions about why something on offense or defense didn't work during the games.  Dude gets paid $5M plus and is making his coordinators answer the questions?

Someone should tell Philly not to draft him.

Isampson.. I totally agree! Gilbert must have never played at LSU... when I traveled to play there in 2012 a BOO what the nicest thing I heard all day!!
