He was Doug William's before Doug Williams!!! His arm was 2nd to none . Still have the S.I. he was on the cover. Been watching Tenn. Football a long time...other than ofcourse Manning, Robinson had all the skills!!!I could also watch clips of his completely average backup, Daryl Dickey, going undefeated and putting up better and more efficient numbers than he ever did while winning Sugar Bowl MVP. Y'all associate Tony Robinson with an era of Tennessee football that won games, but he's not really as great of a QB as you say he is. It's just like Tee Martin.. great teams, decent QBs. I don't get the different era argument.. QBs were putting up numbers in the mid 80's. Maybe not like they do now.. but definitely more than 14 TDs in a season lol
Also that 85 team gave up only 34 points total in the last 7 games of the season.. they didn't need Tony and it showed lol
Those teams were good.. not saying Tony wasn't a good player, they seemed to play just fine without him. Generally speaking, that means the team itself is pretty strong. I don't see an argument where he's a better QB than guys who put up way more numbers and stayed healthy.
