Unless Dobbs' passing does a 180, I would say it's very possible one of the other guys beats him out for the '16 start.

There's a chance he would start for 4 years at Kentucky. There's also just as good a chance he would go 20-24 during that span at Kentucky

Honestly don't think he would start 4 years. Towles will be a senior. Barker will be a soph (if I'm counting right). He'd probably have a good chance at 2, maybe 3 years at starting. Towles is legit when he's healthy and protected.

Dobbs is inconsistent but I wouldn't call him erratic. He's yet to have either a full season as the #1 QB or a full offseason getting #1 reps. Could do wonders for him.

He said he had a really good visit with DeBord and spent almost all of Saturday morning until the afternoon talking football, watching film, having lunch with DeBord and Nick Sheridan and Butch Jones.

They talked about how DeBord plans to add some things to the offense but that it will basically stay the same. He said the biggest thing about this visit was getting to know DeBord. He noted that he had a lot of energy and was surprised by that because he wasn't sure what to expect.

He said he's 'pretty comfortable,' with things at Tennessee right now and I asked him after visiting Kentucky how is he going to handle his recruitment, etc., he said he's not sure. He added he plans on being at one of Tennessee's spring practice to see what DeBord is like as a coach on the field, but first impressions were good he said.

You have seen him throw the football, yes? And you think that's SEC caliber passing? Hmmmmmmmm

A breath of reason finally concerning this. UK currently has more competition at QB than UT does. Towles is the best player you guys have on offense and he has two years to go. Barker was a 5 star recruit who has 4 years to go. The idea that Kendall would choose UK because he wouldn't have much completion has always seemed crazy to me.

^ This right here. :good!: We know Dobbs is a smart guy and athletic. It's just a matter of time and reps throwing to a corps of the same healthy receivers, instead of a patchwork hodgepodge of next man up.

What's SEC caliber passing?


He isn't your traditional drop back guy, or your traditional DT guy either.. It's his combination of the two that make him special... Most importantly, he is very smart..

Does he has some areas where he can improve? Of course, but he has the work ethic, and talent to be one of the best in the country... QB battle in 2016? Lol

I guarantee almost every team in the SEC right now would rather have Josh Dobbs than who they are starting

Except UT of course.


Just to clarify, I am excited to see what JDobbs can do. He is smart. He is athletic. If he is able to put it all together he can be very dangerous running our offense. Man I can't wait for September to get here!

I don't think Barker was a 5 star, but he's a little higher than where Kendall is right now. Was around 100th overall. Kendall probably is a bit better imo, but then again, we really haven't seen Barker at all, and might not for a couple years.

I'm gonna say it...

Kendall/family follows VN, and the over reaction on here to DeBord spooked them a bit
Click to expand...

lol thats a push. VN is one of the most active team-based cfb message boards on the web. And one of the best for sure. I'm sure these kids Google their names all the time (you can usually find VN within the first few pages if the name isn't common). Parents do this too. It's only natural for them to want to read about themselves (or in the case of their parents, their son). Obviously these kids wouldn't lend as much significance to message boards as they would to spoken word from the head coach. That is what really matters in the end. Truth be told it wasn't the hire everyone was expecting (including from those outside our fanbase) and Bajakian leaving may have ruffled some feathers with the Kendalls, who knows. Butch seems to be pretty good at smoothing things over (see Drew Richmond) so I think in all likelihood this kid ends up sticking to his commitment - doubts about DeBord or not. :crossfingers:

GBO!

He's kinda right though. Dobbs is Matty Mauk type erratic. Until he shows some consistency, people will express their doubts. IMO if Dobbs has a lackluster year with all our talent at the receiver and tight end position, you could very easily see a legit battle for the QB spot in 2016. Unlikely, but definitely possible - especially if one of our 3 newly signed QBs steps it up and shows he's ready to lead the offense.

Dobbs was one of the limiting factors in the downfield passing game last year. Butch has shown that he is not afraid of replacing players with better players. These all-star receivers we have will want someone who can accurately get the ball down field or there is going to be a lot of frustration in the future.

Why do you think Butch started Ferguson for two years?

Will Barker play at Ky? Seems like he's trying his best to get dismissed.

Well, I just looked up both of them from high school. Barker was ranked the #5 QB in the nation (105th overall player). Kendall is ranked the #3 QB (27th overall player). Seems like Kendall is ranked much higher than Barker in high school.

He will. Report came out saying that the 2nd incident is a little different than initially thought. Probably still deserves some punishment but he should, and hopefully will stay.

I'm assuming you're using rivals? I was using 247, where there is a big discrepancy among the rankings on Kendall. On 247, Kendall is 178th, Barker was 109th. Like I said though, I do think think Kendall is better at that point in comparison. But Barker will have a bit of an edge when it comes to replacing Towles in a while. Kendall certainly has a ton of talent to compete anywhere, would be lucky to have him at UK.
