This is pretty accurate. When teams were smart and shut down his ability to run, or extend plays with his legs he struggled. When he has the ability to move he's pretty effective, but when forced to beat a team throwing the results are mixed.

Like who? When?

I never saw this.

Iowa had plenty of time and film to prepare for him and still got smoked to the tune of 200 total yards and 3 TDs

They didn't shut down his ability to run....Like Missouri and Vanderbilt.

When he can move and extend plays he's dangerous. When he can't...well maybe he is, and maybe he isn't.

I like the guy, and hope he excels. He's our best chance at a great season.

He easily rushed for 50 yds in the Mizzou game. Stats don't show it because of the negative yards attributed to sacks. It was a good pass rush and a bad offensive line. Even Hurd only rushed for 40. He also passed for 200.

The vandy game was just crap all around. Entire offense played like crap. He can certainly share in that blame.

And just because Iowa didn't shut down his ability to run does not mean they weren't trying. No major conference coach would have watched film on Dobbs and said "yeah, no need to gameplan around his running ability"

Good thing teams didn't load up on the pass when Peyton was here. Teams would have made us beat them with his legs! Or else coach would have benched him for a "dual-threat" QB. :thud::thud::thud:

KB? Need some help...we defend Dormady's potential to BUTCH'S OFFENSE BULLIES on one foot and these guys start shooting at Dobbs'....foot. Can't win won't stop so they can't either. :loco:

There are so many holes in what you just said, I don't need to poke any in it. I appreciate your assistance in illustrating my point.

Have to believe that Dobbs will improve on some level in the passing game by working as a starter for an entire offseason.

His passing definitely concerns me a bit, though. It's amazing that Nick Marshall, a converted CB, had a better deep ball than Dobbs who has played QB his entire life.

I agree with you about Dobbs likely progression, but we must wait and see.

Now I'd like to welcome you to the dark side. You're a marked man for that second paragraph. The list of your detractors will now be long and distinguished.....

Haha. I'm a huge Dobbs fan, actually. I think he will be much better as a passer this year. And if he is, he will be one of the best QBs in the country. His elusiveness is something that you can't teach. He had it going back to high school.

He didn't win anything with his arm. Opposing teams are going to make him beat us with his arm, I pray he can do it. If not don't waste any time and put Dormady in.

He didn't? Kinda recall him winning the SCar game, more with his arm than his legs. THREW for 300 yds and THREW the tying TD pass that led to overtime. I think that counts. Then, the next week, threw for about 300 yds and 3 tds in 3 quarters vs Kentucky...won that game so that's 2.

Threw the ball pretty damn well vs Iowa on his way to winning game/bowl MVP....that's 3.

It's amazing to me that you can post all the fantasyland, pie in the sky, Pollyanna stuff you do about the Vols that has no basis in reality. But then consistently hate on our QB, the guy who's arguably our most talented player and who is by far our most important/indispensable one. But yeah, if Dobbs throws 3 straight incompletions or God forbid a pick early in the season, by all means let's not waste any time....pull the junior leader of the offense/team and dark horse Heisman candidate out of the game pronto and get the unproven true freshman in there. Great thinking.

Yeah! Let's bench the guy whose uncanny escapabillity is the only reason our OL didn't give up 70 sacks last season!

It crazy to me that people think a QB who has never taken a snap in a College game will be the guy who leads this team if our "proven winner" junior QB can't.

I remember a guy named Ferguson that was going to be the next great QB at Tennessee. How many snaps did he take at QB?

Dormady will have to be ready incase of injury and the coaches want to make sure he is, but if Dobbs goes down the season expectations will have to be adjusted. 8+ wins becomes more like 6. I do believe that Jones has learned his lesson though, if Dormady isn't effective look for S. Jones to get snaps this year as well.
