No, virtually the same team. Some people have a hard time giving Tee due respect. I am glad you do. Tee was the right QB for the job. Some QB's are for college and some are for pro. Tee is my favorite QB to ever play for the Big Orange.

As much as I agree Tee was great in his role for that '98 team that's what it was, a role. He was not a great individual player, though certainly a good one. AL Wilson was a great player and had more to do with the '98 FL win than Tee did.

You do know that Tee's stat line in the '98 FL game was 7 of 20 for 64 yards with 1td and 1int, right? Heck, we only had 235 yards of total offense and 57 of that came on one run. How many games does Manning win if FL gets held to 17 points?

For an individual talent at the singular position of QB (what the "team" does is a team thing, not an individual talent thing) it's Manning by any possible rational measurement.

who do you guys think is the best QB in Vols history. i know alot of ppl are going to say that peyton manning is the number one QB in Vols history, but i think andy kelly is the best QB in Vols history. when he left UTK, he held almost every single passing record at UTK.

Tony Robinson will always be my favorite.

Well, if you could classify the (tailback) in the single wing as a quarterback, I would definitely have to say Bill Wallace.

Even though Tony Robinson was playing a decade before Peyton, I just wonder what he would have been had he not got busted. Then again, look at Shuler. I remember when everyone thought he was the greatest ever and once he left for the NFL, everyone basically forgot about him.

I have to say I enjoyed watching Shuler more than any Vol QB, because he was an excellent passer and runner, and tough-minded to boot. He could do it all. Robinson was immensely talented but "troubled" guy.

Speaking of Joey Kent, I would call him one of the most underrated players in the history of UT football. He was an outstanding college receiver...

I agree with Kent. I just wonder though if it hadn't been for manning if kent and nash would have still been the college players they were.

You bumped this thread from 2008 to post this incoherent jibberish with random punctuation and capitalization? WTH?

Heath Shuler was the best overall quarterback as far as being a dual threat along with Jimmy Streater and Condredge Holloway.

Shuler is when I started following the Vols. Peyton was an afterthought. A great pro but I thought this was about college play. Prior to that I have no clue.

I never saw him but Condredge Holloway needs to be in the discussion. This is based on my dad, granddad (a HS football coach for many, many years) and fellow VN posters opinions. I had the pleasure of seeing Manning, Shuler, Clausen I, Martin etc but they saw both and really don't think it's close.

Holloway was probably the most fun to watch of all those to wear orange. He was magic! Every snap, I was on the edge of my seat as a kid. At half time my brother and friends would hit the yard for a brief game, and we'd all fight over who got to be Condredge.
