Adams' failed logic for playing Dobbs

I love to dislike JA, he thinks he is entitled to whatever he wants, and I loved that CBJ put him in his place with that comments "I don't think you understand....." classic.

GBO!!!

Ok, people, I think it's very well established that everyone hates John Adams. Good for you all.

The OP isn't taking issue w John Adams himself, he's taking issue with his assertion that Tennessee needs to reconsider their red-shirt plans for him. So can we actually discuss the idea like the OP intended instead of groveling about John Adams?

I don't think it's unprecedented that a smart student-athlete gives up his eligibility in order to move into the workforce. But for a potential starter on a SEC football team? I don't know much about the engineering field. Is there much value in having a masters degree?

No. Stopping these POS leeches that make a living off peddling their idiocy while tearing down the program we love is a more important topic than whether we should burn a redshirt on what will be a meaningless season. The whole topic was poisoned as soon as Adams was linked as the author of the opinion.

It's good economic sense for scholarship athletes to finish their undergrad work and work on a masters. A fair number do.

Since I won't pay to post a response to J Adams article on his logic for playing Dobbs this weekend, I make a response here.

The early step of his logic lost me when he said,
"Tennessee hopes to redshirt the second-year player. Then, he would have three years of eligibility remaining...As serious a student as he is, I doubt he will be at UT for five years — not when he can get a degree in three."

Dobbs is too smart to conclude with a BS. Dobbs didn't choose UT education just for the undergrad program. He is PhD bound. Redshirting is not misguided. He will still be studying at UT after his BS and playing QB. :thumbsup:

I thought Dobbs degree was a 5 year one

The very best thing that you can do with regard to Adams and UT football is refuse to read his junk and NEVER link it for others to read.

He stays employed in large measure because he gets a reaction from Vol fans like yours. The best way to get rid of him is to ignore him.

This. Stop clicking his articles and giving him free advertisement

It's clear that Butch wants to redshirt Dobbs if possible...so Adams is honor bound to write about how wrong a decision it is...if Butch had gone the other way?...equally honor bound.

Serious question. I thought that we already burned Dobbs redshirt last year, how is it possible to redshirt him this year?

There are multiple allowances for student-athletes to redshirt. Thus, it is understood they have five years to play four.

John Adams is a snarky little douche bag. He ranks up with Finebaum in people to just ignore. Adams also encouraged fans NOT to attend the UTC game.

I'll be there. Along with the rest of my Mississippi family coming in town I've converted.

There is nothing to gain by burning Dobbs' redshirt. If he was good enough to be QB he would be the QB and not the 3rd string.

I'm surprised that John Adams can even tie his own shoes. The only reason they keep him around is because he stirs the pot over ridiculous things.

It depends on the field of engineering you're going into. For example, it's essentially a must for civil engineers who want to work in the field with a structural emphasis. The field I work in, it's not really a requirement (or even the norm) but rather the exception. Simply having a PE license says more than having a MS in Engineering, IMO.

What is a PE?

Right on the PE; but the MS can be a nice addition, and depending on person/area the PhD is where to go. From what I've heard Dobbs may be looking at a PhD. And he specifically chose UT for it's strong College of Engineering.

Dobbs got sacked 7 times last year behind NFL line in 4 and half games.Worely got sacked 6 times in 6 and half games behind that lineDobbs would be a total disaster behind this years line let him redshirt, his confidence would be ruined like Petermans. Let this line get better and then he may have a good chance to be a decent SEC QB. Put him in now and he is a backup similar to Peterman the rest of his carreer. His QBR for last year was 34.4 so he needs a redshirt year. He does not need to get behind this line. As a team we have had 18 sacks 2014 , you extrapolate Dobbs sacks of 2013 to this year at best it would be 21 thats considering he played behind a NFL ine. Just guessing but behind this line would be more like 25 sacks.

These kind of posts make me scream!!,,,,so, Dobbs wouldn't be better this year? You can't extrapolate crap....totally dumb.

He didn't redshirt last year...so we didn't burn it.

It's possible that he'll go somewhere else for Grad, especially if he decides he wants to forego football and choose a new school based on an academic program of his choice.

Totally true. But UT's engineering department is pretty good about having a 5 year MS program where you can take grad classes during your senior year and finish off grad courses your 5th year. I'm betting that is his game plan.

Just bc Adams is a douche- doesn't mean he cant be right. Answer me this: what happens if Worley doesn't finish the year- as last year ? u want to put all our hopes on Nathan Peterman? I don't. A Peterman -led team might not win another game this year. If Worley wasn't so tough- he would already be gone.
