Exactly my point. Grossman achieved everything that Peyton did. Gainesville isn't naming streets after him.
 
This poll really helps me understand Volnation. Now anytime I see a post that seems hopelessly unreasonable I’m just going to pretend it was one of the 25 crazies that voted for Bailey in this poll.

i know right? Only this board would have a "vol" fan who would come on and say one of the greatest QBs in college football AND NFL history, and by far the greatest UT QB is "average"
 
I saw in another of your posts that your favorite sporting event every year is the UGA vs Florida football game so your opinion on this or anything else Vol related is a joke!

Heck no. Watching UGA and UF beat each other up and having the certainty of one team I hate losing is the best.

The issue. He was not one of the greatest NCAA QBs. You can lash out and be vitriolic, but Rex Grossman, Rex Grossman, Rex Grossman. Do you understand?

weird how he was voted to College FB all time team, all-SEC all time team, and inducted in CF hall of fame....no one is lashing out, everyone is laughing at you for your horrendous and illogical take

What did he do that Rex Grossman did not? You can deflect, but our fan base has been an absolute back turner to Tee.

So tell me. What did Peyton accomplish that Rex did not and vice versa?
 
What did he accomplish? We now have some posters saying he played in a Natty. What else did he do?

  1. .866 winning % as a starter at UT.
  2. "Manning rewrote the Tennessee record book during his four years as a Vol. He holds the record for passing yards with 11,201 yards and passing touchdowns with 89. When he completed his UT career, Manning held the SEC records for completions and passing yards." ~Knox News
  3. 147.1 passer rating as a Vol.
I haven't even gotten to the NFL yet. Your argument is some weak azz BS, just give it up.

In what way? Is Tee Martin's street named after him shorter than Peyton's?

I'm not throwing shade at Rex Grossman. He was a good college QB. He only fell short of Manning's college passing yardage by about 2,000 yds. Not too shabby.

One SEC championship victory. That's it. Getting to the NFL is the problem. Peyton had a road named after him in 1998. Why? Which of our rivals have have player-named roads? Which of our rivals have this for a player that didn't win a Natty or even play in one? Is there a Bo Jackson Blvd?? (I have no clue. There may be). Is there a Mark Ingram Drive? Is there a Danny Wuerffel Drive?

At the same time, we have done little to nothing to honor Tee or Peerless or pick anyone off of the 98 squad you may hold in regard.

Florida doesn't have a street next to their stadium named after Rex Grossman, and he accomplished everything that Peyton did and would have smashed every single one of Peyton's records had he come back. Grossman isn't some random analogy. Grossman lost one of the most important games for UF in the last 30 years to us. Much like Peyton did. He's an exact replica but played in different colors. Heck, AL has NC championship winning QBs transferring, but we are stuck on Peyton being some sort of god. What happens in the NFL doesn't count on the Hill. Even if it did, Peyton had things named after him before he made any of those accomplishments.

You're missing the point. I'm not trumpeting Grossman. He didn't do anything at UF. He lost one of the biggest games in UF history to US. We knocked Spurrier out of UF, but Grossman did the same exact things that Peyton did with better trajectory. UF ain't naming streets after Grossman.

Dude, you should go to the Auburn, Florida, and Bama boards and champion streets be named for those players. You're not gonna get much traction here.

Do you know why? Because Rex did squat in the NFL. You are literally the only person I have seen in this site that makes these idiotic claims.
