Very ironic post. You are assuming JG is a better passer than QD without seeing JG take any live snaps.

The grass is always greener - had JG started and started slow, this thread would be titled QD with the same comments.

Folks just like to complain.

Fans just need to stop pitting these two young men against each other and pitting the coach against one of them. Look at what happened to FSU and UGA and now Maryland. The #2 (or co-starter) needs to focus on the game and be ready to enter if needed. He needs to be on the same page as the other co-starter and the coaches.

IMO, it actually benefits JG, if Dormady starts and his first entry into a game is a non-critical, don't have to save the day situation. I can only imagine the backlash if he enters in a critical moment and does something terrible, like fumble or throw an interception.

And folks need to stop looking for the next Josh Dobbs or Peyton Manning - let these young men be QD and JG and bring what they bring to the table.

If he is upset, it is because he's reading social media or having folks bend his ear rather than concentrating on doing whatever is needed for the team to be successful.

Thats interesting. How did you come across this fact?

I am confident with a little more live game experience that is not just mop up duty, Dormady will prove to be a much better passer than Dobbs. I think this would have been true last year as well had he been given the opportunity to get the experience.

Benching Dormady so JG could have gotten his chance would have been a risky proposition. If he had not done any better, what would that say to Dormady?

It looks like Dormady is THE quarterback for the Vols and JG is the backup for now. Everyone should play their role until something happens to disrupt the program.

Why though? Dobbs was a better passer than him in practice. He looked better in games than QD did last night. So why would he magically be a better passer?

It would have told him he was in a completion and that crappy play is not acceptable.

It looks like he started the first game and played mediocre. That is it. He may keep the job. he may never start again. JG shouldn't accept a back up role to a guy he was close to that played pretty bad.

The point is to see who is better. No one knew how QD would play in a real game. The answer was not well. JG could have came in and given a spark. Maybe not.

Hopefully Butch lets JG play half of the Indiana State game see if he has anything to offer. I know he is a much better runner than Dormady. I thought Dormady was the best passer not so sure after the game last night.

he will be the starter 2nd half of Florida! Be patient young one and be careful what you wish for.

We have a terrible offensive line that cant block 3 with 5 and that is GT players not SEC players!! And Dormany, who throws 2/3 of his passes off his back foot, he should have had 5 picks last night but GT defense is as bad as ours or worse!

Just wait until we play a real defense, FL, he will have 3 picks in the first half and JG will be playing!

Dobbs as a senior may have looked better. Dobbs as a sophomore and even a junior had a real problem with overthrowing receivers. Like, seriously overthrowing receivers. So many open guys who'd watch balls sail 3 feet over their heads. Not trying to debate where he ended up, as Dobbs did get better (although he'd still make some pretty dicey throws), but as a senior I'd expect him to.

Of course he wanted to play, everybody does. I'm sure he's also not used to having his demeanor scrutinized while he's on the bench. Give him a break, he's 19. The coaches will talk to him this week. He will play vs Indiana State this week and get a fair chance to win the job.

I was expecting more accuracy than Dobbs with less running capability. Last night he was less accurate, never looked set when he threw the ball, and no running capability. I was hoping butch would modify the delayed handoff read option for this QB's qualities. Reminded me of when Worley tried to run this offense.

You did notice that they went into an "ace" formation for several plays with Dormady under center, right/ The offense is still morphing into a more varied style.

Dobbs did improve. People on here have been saying how much better QD is passing than Dobbs was after he improved though. People have being saying the passing game would immediately improve with QD. Not that he would be better after he gets experience. Many said that even last year, and definitely after the spring QD is a better passer than Dobbs. :crazy:

Are you under the impression those two are reading volnation to determine how to feel about each other?

You need to go rewatch the game with less bias. Dormady made a handful of bad decisions but much of the lack of production was not his fault.

I completely disagree with all this. For one, I thought qd was very good last night. There weren't a bunch of terrible throws. If I have any criticism at all it's that de didn't always throw the the best opinion. But especially in the first half he was constantly under pressure. He avoided getting sacked which can be for more detrimental that an overthrown ball. And he was throwing to brand new receivers. There's a lot of chemistry that has to develop over time between the wr and qb. We're all the overthrows his fault? How do you know the receiver wasn't supposed to be where the ball was thrown to?
Secondly, you can't put much stock in what people say about a kid in practice. You don't see it for yourself so all that gets out is basically what the coaches want.
Based in what I saw last night I believe qd has a chance to be a much better passer long term than Donna ever was here. Of course, you'll never get the explosive running plays that Dobbs gave us.
