Well...it's not our fault he is so polarizing. He has been horrid to this point, and there is very little reason to think he will be any better. There is a very good chance his play will be the difference in a good season and another nut smasher season.All you’ve gotta do is mention JG and you may as well have dropped a grenade in the thread & ran. I’ve never seen so much infighting over a player in my whole life. Haha.
He was no where close to the playmaker Tebow was as a runner. How many Td’s did Tebow run for that one year?Shuler had a cannon and was a great overall athlete, what he didn't have was the mental ability to be a NFL QB.
He would have been a Heisman winner in a different era and in a different system...like what Urbs did with Tebow. He was a much better passer than Tebow, and just as strong and agile.
He does make it hard on himself being such a head case. My mind changed about him somewhat after him getting a little emotional after talking about how much this place means to him. I appreciate the kid and hope the best for him. If he starts to suck it up, then he needs to get yanked.Well...it's not our fault he is so polarizing.

I don’t think @ABINGDON VOL FAN slept.
He didn't play in a system or in an era where the QB run was a big part of any offense.He was no where close to the playmaker Tebow was as a runner. How many Td’s did Tebow run for that one year?
Dude... if that's true then don't believe the reports.Shulers arm strength was over-hyped. ESPN reported that Shuler hit a goal post from the 50 yard line On one knee but the NFL draft report was that he had less than average arm strength. I was following this at the time and was surprised by the draft analysis because I thought Shuler had super human arm strength at the time. Regardless of Shulers speed and strength , Dobbs was a better athlete and more elusive running the ball. Both had similar last year QBR ratings at UT. In fact they both had better QBR ratings their last year than Manning had in any year at UT which I found surprising.
Not sure on the details. On the VQ pod, the guys indicated they don’t know what’s going on with him now. Sounds like he hasn’t been practicing.
