Dudes a gamer. Not surprised he's walking on.. He has tons of confidence, and plays like it too.

He holds the TENNESSEE passing record at like 10,000+. Clearly the dude can play, him being 6' doesn't mean he won't be able to play at the college level, he'll just have to adapt. There have been QBs in the NFL 6ft and under. I bet this kid will end up starting his Junior year (unless we get some 5* QBs)

How many NFL quarterbacks have been under six feet tall

Unfortunately I think we see a lot of guys under center this year and ole Chuck High could be one of them.

I was talking to a UT receiver's dad last night, and he thinks we r in trouble at qb. Said a lot of the guys are waiting for Dobbs, to see what he can do. He said the new offensive scheme is great though.

We are more in trouble at WR than we are at QB. A QB is only as good as the WR's they are throwing to. We need Croom healthy, Harris, Bowles and Pig to step up then North and Jenkins to catch on quickly. Blanc will be a good, posession type guy for us much like Carter but we need these 4* guys to step it up, we definitely have potential at WR. I do think Dobbs or Ferguson can come in and push for PT, especially Dobbs.

Not true, give Peyton Manning one off season, he can turn an average receiver into a great receiver. Timing and familiarity may be all they need. Thinking too much imo.

Actually very true. Did you not read about the lack of WR's the QB's had to throw to because of injuries or guys like Bowles who are struggling with drops and the playbook? With everyone here and healthy our WR's have potential to be great. But this spring the QB's had zero help from the WR's and TE's.

A good QB cant make WR's stay healthy and not having drop problems. Peyton is great with getting guys in the right position and where to be when he throws it, but he cant make them catch it or stay healthy. Look at how many drops Thomas had in Denver this season and fumbles.

Your not understanding what I'm saying. Potential at WR is off the charts when we have everyone on campus and healthy. But that was a huge problem this spring. Croom was great when he was healthy, Blanc was great when healthy, Bowles hasnt done much so far, Harris and Pig have struggled with drops and the playbook. Young is still learning the position. Cant wait for North, Jenkins, Smith and the TE's to get here and of. course Dobbs and Ferg, but Dobbs especially.

I read everything. Your argument doesn't make your statement true. Injuries were a big part of the problem. Both positions need a lot of work, but the QBs were borderline bad. Part of that is definitely the receivers being inconsistent, learning a new system, etc. However, there were some awful, awful throws at the O&W game when receivers were open.

QB is our worst position right now.
WR is our second worst.

We recruited poorly at QB before the 2013 class. All everyone kept saying was to trust Chaney's QB evaluations... Now we are stuck with sub par QB play.

How about we actually let them have more than a few months in a brand new system in their first year with a chance to start before saying we are stuck with subpar qb play

I really think we will be much better than currently percieved at the wr and qb position when the season starts.

Will agree to disagree. Honestly it cant be judged until everyone is healthy and on campus. And truely if one is bad the other will also look bad. Hunter, CP, ZR, Rivera and the RB's making catches out of the backfield made Bray look much better. Couldnt tell you over Brays career how many times Hunter, D.Moore, Rivera, G.Jones, CP, ZR made unreal catches that were godawful throws by Bray. But yes the QB's made some terrible throws but also as Coach Z said he WR's need to step up and quit dropping so many passes and need to stay healthy so they can continue to develop. I would not be surprised if Dobbs does win the job, especially if he has the playbook lingo learned by time he gets to UT. There is a reason the coach's are trying to get a little used juco wr into school to help this yr and so many wr's for the 2014 class.

Agreed. I think once all the receivers get on campus and get healthy it will help immensely. Plus getting a couple new TE's in will help as well. But I am still excited to see all 5 QB's go at it and see how it plays out. I have really pulled for Peterman to win it as he seems the better fit of the 2 but maybe Dobbs, Ferg or even High could be better fits. Will be fun to watch it play out, its been a few years since we had a QB battle.]

How about all of us couch sittin' beer drinkin' loud yappin' not on the football team "players" just keep our mouths shut and let the coaches and team play.

I see all of us (sometimes myself included) whine and complain on here about this and that, yet we aren't on the team. 99% of us dream about playing/coaching, yet we couldn't even cut it in pee wee league. Just shut up and quit arguing. Half of you clutter up threads about recruits with all of your garbage nonsense talk. Go to the "I hide behind my computer screen but I am a better coach than ???? or a better player than ????" thread and chat it up in there.

So let's let the coaches coach, the players play, and us watchers watch.

Or, you could do that and let the people that want to discuss football discuss football. That is kind of the point of this site afterall. Also, this discussion is very relevant to Charlie High.

I know Dobbs might fit the overall scheme better, but Riley Ferguson is also a talented QB and a winner. He has just as much a chance as Dobbs.

I don't think I've ever seen Bowles drop a pass.
