You gotta love the extremes this website goes through. Before the spring game it was all about how JG was the definite starter and QD was gonna transfer. Then Dormady has a nice spring game and he's now the second coming and we're just giving JG snaps to placate him. LOL.
Uh... no. Only in YOUR mind.
Some of us recognized that QD had talent long before spring.
JG is still extremely talented. Dormady can't run the read option which is critical in today's college game.
Yes. He can run it and no it is not "critical in today's college game". Bama has won NC's with statues at QB. Jake Browning had less than 100 yds rushng and didn't run the ball.
A QB talented at making quick decisions and able to read D's is STILL just as effective if not more so than a QB who makes plays with his legs. Of course you still think Dobbs had no significant problems in the passing game so I don't expect you to understand the game well enough to understand this.
Whether you like it or not, we're gonna play both QBs.
Only if Jones wants a QB controversy at a time when some already have him on a hot seat. The race wasn't that close leaving spring. Dormady was more comfortable in the O. He executed better. He was given more of the O to run.
JG is improving as we would all hope and expect but nothing public indicates he has caught or overtaken QD. To the contrary, a reporter recently let it slip that he didn't think the QB race was nearly as close as the impression being given.
And we'll play them ALL SEASON.
If so... Jones is about as clueless as you. The "wrong" decision would be better than indecision. Both of these guys are capable. It sounds like QD is ahead. But even if JG is chosen... that is a million times better than trying to run a 2 QB system.
UT attempting such a thing at this point would be even MORE stupid because the two guys are so similar in what they bring to the field. Neither runs as good as Dobbs. If you believe reports, they have similar straight line speed. Dormady is bigger. JG looks a tad quicker. Both have accurate, live arms with possibly a slight advantage to QD.
The separation is that QD appears to read D's very, very well both pre and post snap. He makes decisions and delivers the ball accurately and on time to play makers. He usually gives them an opportunity to make a play after the catch. SOME of this is innate. It is instinct. A natural talent like Dobbs' ability to run that can be honed into a football skill
Again... nothing I expect you to understand... but maybe others will recognize the sense of it.
Dormady will definitely get more snaps. But Guarantano will play as well because he brings a skill set to the field that Dormady doesn't have.
I've seen one 2 QB system "work" in well over 40 years of watching the SEC. Richt fearing that DJ Shockley would transfer designed a package each game for him. Greeene was the starter and clearly the better QB. Shockley got one or two series per game. Unlike JG and QD, these two WERE radically different in what they brought to the field.
We have 2 great QBs. It would be dumb on Butch's part to not play both if they can both help us WIN. Florida won the national championship in 2006 with a 2-QB system. And so can we.
No they didn't. They had a QB then they had a Wildcat. JG isn't that kind of runner. He doesn't weight 245 like Tebow.
It is ALMOST ALWAYS a mistake to try to play two QB's. It is very, very rare to see it not tank a team regardless of how talented the guys are.
It is manifestly STUPID to do something that as a rule does not work.
