Hurd and Dobbs

[1985Vols]

Something strange going on with this team. It's not just tonight but it has been all season. Hurd seems completely removed and Dobbs has regressed to being a below average QB at best. We beat both GA and FL for the first time in 12 years and lose to a bad SC team. After tonight I really don't think we will ever win another SEC Championship again in my lifetime.

Hurd wont play another down at UT imo ---

I think Hurd is hurt. He is miscast in this hurry and punt offense to start with. The line can't slow anyone down and the defense is on him before he even gets the ball
Dobbs is at his best when he improvises and makes plays with legs. But he has not done as much this year -- and maybe that is why he is one of 2 starters who hasn't been injured (knock on wood)

Dobbs has never been a good passer and defenses have adjusted to his mobility. Hurd has packed it in

That's the only good news from the night.

Tennessee football is over.. Butch way over his head, at best average QB, Running backs stink... def line looks like sieve ..Def backs worst in the SEC..play calling joke, nobody can catch other than Jennings, cant tackle anyone..... just sucks all around!

Dobbs has always had legs and that part of his game is what has kept him the starting QB the past couple of years. Dobbs has always been a below avg QB throwing wise.

No disrespect to him and I appreciate the things he has done for this program...but I am ready for Guarantano.

Dobbs is at his best when he hands it off or keeps it and runs. He is an atrocious passer inside or outside the pocket with or without time

Dobbs is too big to do what he used too. Plus the playcalling is youth league to say the least.

Hurd: see offensive system

 

[alavolfan]

I don't know, but they do seem off... like they don't like how someone is scheming things or something... maybe not happy with play calling and just not into it.,,

 

[greybone]

If everyone thinks back, the only time the offense looked decent is when Dobbs ran. What are they saving him for. He will never sniff the NFL

 

[Biopsyman]

Dobbs has been exposed.. make him throw the ball.. overall as a passer is mediocre

 

[SobeVol]

I'm sorry but Hurd is not ready for the NFL. Yes he has amassed yards and yadda yadda yadda but he did it against a week sec east and seems to have regressed this year. He seems to be too easy to take down at first contact.
I honestly believe it's in his best interest to stay another year, he has immense talent but really hasn't displayed it. His stock is falling

insiders not so trust worthy when it comes to kids arguing with coaches.

Well, if you have pancreatic cancer then I would agree. Otherwise that statement is a little ridiculous.

 

[vavolfan6]

Hurd has been frustrated for some time now with his role at RB and the scheme which he believes is not suited to his strengths.

As for Dobbs, he just mind-f***s himself throughout the whole game. I think he puts a lot of pressure on himself to be a successful passer, while at the same time overthinking everything.

 

[reeceb73]

Dobbs isn't very good. Never has been. Good athlete, below average QB.

Hurd is in the wrong system. He will be a good pro. Nothing left for him to do here. He is banged up and it shows

coach is listening to parents instead of team...not so good in sec as it was in his last stop.


failure to produce his his down fall...sec =muscle


jones forgot that this year
