I'd take Heath Shuler right now. He twernt no rocket surgeon.

 

[MSCE09]

That seems a little over the top. He was a freshman. Overall freshman year in engineering isn't that hard if you went to a decent high school that prepared you for college level calculus and chemistry. Not saying he isn't a smart kid, but anointing him a genius seems a big leap.

 

[Biopsyman]

But can he ball

 

[lexkyvol]

man, this kid has some HATERS!

 

[TNVolunteerGrad]

What about his football IQ? His pocket presents and fast twitch ability? These are the real questions.

 

[Hamptonvolfan]

It is his pocket "presents" that concern me.

Pocket presents!

 

[skasper06]

I hope his presents provides many presence this season.

 

[vollygirl]

And Vol fans immediately find a negative. At least you stay consistent.

and Ferguson named one of 14 dumbest.

Pocket presents!

Pocket presents- when one places their hand in their pocket and finds a piece of candy or spare change that they did not know was there.

Da'rick would have made the list

 

[TNVolunteerGrad]

I mean, the kid is clearly very intelligent. I really want to see him succeed on the field and off it. He has all the tools.

Really? Very classy.

 

[TopDog4TN]

What about that pocket presents against Michael Sam :unsure:

 

[mgu7]

Da'rick would have made the list

Most definitely.

I appreciate the positive press, but I do agree with this reply. If this was an underclassman ranking, it would be accurate, but it's not really fair to compare Dobbs taking 1000 and 2000 level classes (even in a tough major) to other players taking 3000 and 4000 level classes (even in an easier major). Just the difference in time spent on them outside of class is enough to make them more challenging to handle along with everything else.

Funny, I didn't see the word genius in the article. Is your Dobbs hate so strong it has an imagination of its own?

 

[Hamptonvolfan]

I saw Dobbs in the Kentucky game and the Orange White. Clearly improving by a lot. I think he will be a much better QB than many think. He seems a little slow on his release but that will improve with experience.

So inferring the word genius from a list of the smartest requires hate? I guess I'm missing some history between you two. :dunno:

 

[Majorvol23]

nice to be ranked in something

 

[CountVolcula]

As long as his Speed and Trajectory calculations are correct

 

[vtvol98]

I can see why Ben Rhyne of Stanford is rated as the number one smartest football player in 2014. How much physical contact does a punter actually get?
