While the rest of college football praises our starting QB, Vols fans are clamoring for the backup.

Please tell me I'm not the only one who sees a problem here.

Anyone who actually can look at Team 119 and think that anyone else OTHER than Josh Dobbs is the best option at QB is seriously deranged, demented, or de-runk. Very de-runk.

In point of fact, grammatically he didn't qualify the noun "Vols" so it is just a general indicator without numerical restrictions. Just sayin'. ;)

He runs more downhill than Dobbs? What? How do you know? When have you seen him run better than/more "downhill" than one of the best, most dynamic running QBs in the country? Not flaming, asking an honest question. I haven't seen him run really at all given that the only "game" he's ever played in while at Tennessee was the Orange and White game and I don't recall him running in that game.

How can you run MORE DOWN HILL in the first place? I'm not sure that's possible on a flat field.

I'm not going to argue with your thinking. I'm just amazed at the amount of people that think Dormady will usurp Dobbs by midseason based off his spring game performance.

I'm just amazed that even ONE person would want that.

The back-up QB is always the best player on the field. Until of course, he gets thrown into a game and struggles, then the next back-up QB is the best player. Didn't everyone know that??

Same story, different season.

Dormady will be a good one eventually, but anyone who thinks he could even carry Dobb's jock as a true freshmen needs to get his/her head out of the sand.

Absolutely 100% agree with this.

Dormady needs to get as many game snaps as is possible (and safe) throughout the season, because that experience is invaluable when it comes to settling down an 18 year old kid coming off the bench without notice in an SEC game with 100,000 screaming fans. There might even be a couple of packages designed for Dormady in the playbook--special situations where he's going to benefit the team due to his particular skill-set.

But that's about it, and the latter is just pure speculation. Josh Dobbs is our quarterback. He's a good quarterback--smart, athletic, competitive, and a great leader. He has the potential to be a phenomenal quarterback. Our job as fans is TO SUPPORT HIM 100% IN THAT QUEST and not speculate on how quickly his backup will replace him.

Good grief. You'd think this was Remedial Fan Class 101.

He'll close out a few blowouts. He will likely start at least one game. Dobbs is likely to get hurt running the ball.nothing serious but enough to keep him out a game or so.

What the...? Why would you say ...? Do you know how close we are to starting the season? Get out. Do not come back. Forever.

Yeah...words. He was lamenting the "fact" that ALL OF THE OTHER FANBASES love Dobbs but his own fanbase (the Vols) are trying to replace him. Not sure how algebra got into this. :unsure:










Just sayin :)

LOL--either way, the idea of Dormady replacing Dobbs save for injury is ludicrous.

Most people share the same opinion...more importantly the coaches. So? Pray tell...why is there a "problem"? :)

The problem is that deranged, deluded, and de-runk people yell the loudest on message boards, and we all know that if Brad sees this thread the news will break on Knoxville radio that Dobbs has lost his starting QB job because Dormady ran faster downhill on a level playing field.
:thud:

Is BRAD allowed near a radio now? :). People squawk and throw out wild scenarios all the time on here...it's not a "problem"...you and Dobbs4President are just adding to the noise.

Dormady and Dobbs times are on par and Dormady is bigger than Dobbs as a freshman.....but to say that Dobbs is only the starter because he's been in the system longer is a stretch. QD is a fine athlete but not on par with Dobbs as of now, Dobbs will be our QB for 2 years, Dormady will have a hard time uprooting him next year because of the success we will experience this year.

Dormady may be a good QB some day either here or somewhere else (If he doesn't get a shot here) but He will sit behind Dobbs until Dobbs gets a serious injury or has no more eligibilty left. Butch knows what works for his system, I may have missed it but I don't recall anyone saying he didn't fit the system?

The bottom line is we have a pretty good (potentially a great QB) and everyone is worried about the back up getting playing time. How about we all worry about winning 8-10 games this year and competing in the SEC. We will be arguing about Dormady and playing time for the next 2 years. Go Vols!!!

1. You misrepresented what I said. I clearly stated that Dobbs is the starter because he has been in the system AND has the valuable experience that only comes with playing in games....he's an upper-classman.

2. You contradicted yourself. " Dormady and Dobbs times are on par and Dormady is bigger than Dobbs as a freshman" and " QD is a fine athlete but not on par with Dobbs as of now " don't jive. I'm guessing you've never watched QD's Senior Hudl highlights. You likely would not assert this.

3. The rest of your assertions are as baseless as someone saying Dormady will take Dobbs job by mid-season. Neither of you have any way to ground that statement in anything factual....especially the assertion that he will transfer.

And....for the record, you may not have, but several here have asserted that he is not suited for this offense because of....well, we know what they meant.

Why....because he's tall and white? He ran a multiple offense in High school. He ran THIS offense as a senior. His 40 and shuttle times were on par with Dobbs coming out of high school....and he was bigger.

I just wish people would let Butch decide what QB fits his "system"....I'm pretty sure he has a handle on it.

Dobbs NEEDS to be the guy for this team. I hope he is, but it will be because he's been in the system, and has the experience.....not because QD is not mobile enough.

Peyton ran a 4.8 and I wouldn't call that fast. Last time I post about this, but Dormady is not fast.

No? Guess Dobbs isn't either...unless a 4.67 is significantly faster than a 4.73 in the real world. Shuttle is a more telling number anyway...and Dormady is plenty quick.

Tell you what Smokey....go find someone who runs a 4.7, tell them to take off and then try to catch them.....and then come back here and tell us how fast 4.7. It's more than plenty fast for a QB. Also, if 4.7 is slow, then we have 3 pretty slow qbs on the roster....Dobbs has been reportedly clocked anywhere between 4.6-4.9....Jones was listed by Rivals as running a 4.6 and by Scout a 4.71.

The truth is, we have 3 very talented, very athletic scholarship quarterbacks. After watching them at the Open Practice on Saturday, I came away very impressed with how mobile, fluid and generally athletic all 3 were. They each moved very well in their drills and all 3 threw the ball very well on the run, rolling out to either side. Not once did I think, wow, the 2 black kids can really move but that Dormady is just running in mud....because he wasn't. There was very little to no difference in how they moved.

I would love it if he could RS, but we know that is impossible since he's THE backup. He needs to get a lot of game reps in to be ready, especially in garbage time so he can give Dobbs rest if need be or God forbid if Dobbs gets injured

ummmm....so, it's not Dormandy...check.

Do we still get French Benefits?

In a perfect world Dormady plays a lot of football but its all mop up duty with a 4+ score lead. You know give Dobbs time to catch up on his homework:)

I know he's even slower now but they only time you once...at the NFL Combine. So this is the fastest.

I for one want to hear more about replacing Dobbs with the faster, more downhill running Dormady.

Probably where you got the 4.8 from

Not shockingly, Manning did his best to decry foot speed as a necessary trait for quarterbacks at the Manning Passing Academy on Thursday — and did so, quite predictably, with a dose of humor and while taking a jab at his little brother, according to the Times-Picayune.

"When I was a senior being recruited by Tulane at the Tulane Football Camp, we ran 40s and they said that I ran a 4.88 (seconds) that day," Manning said. "I'm pretty sure that was [then Tulane coach] Buddy Teevens just doing some good recruiting. I probably ran about a 5.1."

No, reported times are 4.8 to 4.9. But hey man, you win. Could care less. My point is dormady is not fast.
