Broncos are going to need the perfect game to pull this off in SB50.

I SO want Peyton to finish it on a high note, ala Elway. Superbowl victories, and head to head games against Brady have always been the knock, and he has a chance to reverse both of those in his final season.

Broncos Defense has got to be lights out, but WOW... what a matchup! Hopefully Cam gets the overexcited cold feet. This is old hat for Peyton

I just hope Peyton has a good game and not a repeat of that Seattle debacle. Should be a hell of a defensive battle.

Tim Tebow
Cam Newton
Johnny Manziel
Marcus Mariota

Assuming they're all their college selves, which one would you pick to lead the Vols from 2017-2020, and how many championships would Tennessee win?

Cam 100%. Best college player of all time. And probably a natty every year.

After next week's epic recruiting weekend, and everyone is blown away, Butch needs to bring all the recruits to the locker room, and say,

"Here's 4 silver dollars (tossing them to the center of the floor). That's all the spots left in this class. If you wanna be a Vol, bring me one of them. I'll be in my office having a cup of tea."

Scramble ensues...

Tebow, cam is a better natural player but Tebow seems like the absolute perfect qb for butch Jones and this system. You wouldn't have to worry about his work ethic or leadership skills because he's probably the best college qb of all time in those regards. The cliche coach talk that would ensue with those two would be almost unbearable though haha

It will be glorious to see so many players potentially drafted next year.

Alvin
Cam
JRM
Dobbs
Hurd
Barnett

Are all probably sure things.

Maybe:

Vereen
Croom
Wiesman
O'Brien
Martin
Latroy Lewis
Malone
Foreman

Tons of options.

Go big orange

We back

2016 team has a chance to be the most talented Vols team ever in terms of nfl talent.

Entire roster maybe but not those six. Check 99 and maybe 01/02 and see who all got drafted. But yea if you combine all the underclasmen who are pros damn it's a bunch next year. Entire defense except maybe Vereen and after that id say TK is the least likely of starters and he's very possible. On O
Dobbs is iffy but Hurd, Kamara, PW, Malone, Wolf, Richmond, Robertson, Hall perhaps yea we need to win a lot of games.,

I meant the entire roster. I think our 2015 recruiting class might end up producing the most nfl players.

So if we have a somewhat realistic finish of
Warrior
Brown
Dickerson
Byrd

We'd have closed with 3 5 stars and 5 top 100 overall players... (if you include callaway) hell of a finish and all positions of huge need. I'll admit I was pretty worried for awhile but looks like this staff will not be stopped on the recruiting trail.

I was thinking about it. Who would be our biggest injury loss going into the season next year? Which player is the most critical to success?

Last year it was pretty clear going into training camp we could not afford to lose Dobbs, JRM, Cam or Hurd. Everything behind them was unproven.

But this year we will have all of those pieces back, plus some pretty valuably developed depth.

I think Hurd or Dobbs would still be the biggest loss. But with Sheriron and QD no longer true freshmen you have to feel a lot better about QB2. And I think if need be we could still be very dangerous with an Alvin/Kelly/CFA combo at RB.

JRM would be a huge loss, but now we have Kirkland and some talented upperclassmen behind him.

If Cam went down we would still have Martin, Gaulden, Foreman and Moseley.

TK might be a really important piece next year. But if we lock down Warrior I will feel better.

Tuttle, Kahlil & Barnett will all be super valuable. But there are still upperclassmen with experience and some young guys with serious talent that could step in.

Coleman Thomas would be a big loss. Any olineman really. But CT really seemed to open up what we could do as far as blocking schemes and whatnot when he took over.

Wolf for sure would be rough. But at least you have a veteran like Croom who should be solid. We need to build depth at TE no doubt. Got some nice pieces coming in.

Wide receiver might be the only spot on the team I'm not totally sold on at this point. But I have a feeling they will improve. Butch will make it a priority this offseason and constantly challenge them.

Injuries are always super depressing to think about for sure, but I guess my point is, the roster is developing quite well. We are inching ever closer to a true Next Man Up mentality.

It's pretty exciting. I think we're really back. Not quite Bama level, but we're in better shape as far as depth goes than anybody else in the East for sure. It might not even be close.

Thoughts?

I'd have to say Dobbs. I think Dormady could be great, but we don't really know yet. Lose Hurd and I think Kelly and Kamara could still get it done. An injury to Trevor Daniel could prove to be a killer.
