Post Orange and White game QB position still wide open imo

[volfan2024]

Dormandy was good,maybe a little too good. He didn't miss a pass but what's that tell you? Familiarity with defenders perhaps through numerous practice sessions. I want a pass oriented offense but mobile qb helps out when passing and running game is off. (See Dobbs).

Barring injury, QD will be our starting QB.

Not to be snarky, but neither of the conversations in these two threads seemed acceptable places for you to add your perspective?

Agree. It was the spring game. Far from over. Got 4 more months left (unfortunately).

 

[chargervol]

The contest will continue.
I have enough in life to fret over, no intention of adding 1 of our qbs looking 'too good' to my list.

 

[Grudenator]

The competition will continue, but I don't think there's going to be but one competitor in the competition.

QD and JG had their moments, of course, but this is far from over...definitely like our QB situation though...:thumbsup:

GO VOLS!

JG is not the answer right now

Too small. He needs to add weight. He will get abused by defenders in the SEC.

IMO, the whole "competition" is somewhat manufactured. Keeps them working harder and pushing each other-- and that's good. But at the end of the day, one is older, stronger, more seasoned and takes better care of the ball. JG will be a great QB for us, but I think next year is Dormady's year.

Really wish we could find a position for SJones-- WR, RB, TE? He's like JJ-- a competitive leader that needs to be on the field.

Dormady was too good because he was extremely accurate. That wheel route and red pass to the corner of the end zone were NFL level throws.

One thing that I look for in qb is the ability to roll out, throw across his body without breaking stride, into the secondary with perfect accuracy. That's deadly.

I thought QD did a fine job but also noticeable was the fact that in MOST cases, the WR's and backs were essentially wide open. Hope that was against a lot of the 2nd team D.

Really? But many on VN have stated that JG is the starter and if he isnt then Butch needs to be fired.

I don't think he is small.

First off who is Dormandy? Also, he must be a pocket passer cause we don't have an immobile QB on our roster at that position.

The sample was to small, each QB got two possessions, one with the first team 'O' and one with the second team . We'll be okay at QB regardless of who wins the job. The 'D' is more of a concern give the last four games of '16.

 

[Volfan2012]

It will be a contest up until the week before the season begins then Butch will name QD the starter.

His history as HC indicates that will be the case.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Dormady is a JR and there are vol fans that still cannot spell his last name right? Ban worthy imo.

 

[CountVolcula]

I don't think he is small.

Have you seen him against some of our other players?

Did you see him behind center yesterday?

He may be 6'3 at best and 185 lbs soaking wet. He's one good hit away from being hurt

 

[Vol Kilmer]

Smartest thing JG can do is add some muscle and weight. He looks a little thin to me. I did like the way he stepped up in the pocket on that one play and broke out...woulda ran for 20 easily.

 

[BACKDOC]

All I got to say is JG fits our O better, and a lot of guys show out in the spring to disappear in the fall; remember Sapp last year. Not to mention it was two quarters, against a vanilla D that wasn't Bama or FL. But, I'm glad Q looked good; just don't anoint him the savior just yet.

JG didn't look as good as Dormady, running the same offense against the same "vanilla D". Maybe you don't understand the offense as much as you pretend? :dunno:
