And neither would be a good fit in this offense. Guarantano is a better running threat than Dormandy and has just as good of an arm, if not better

So, sight unseen, you'd rather have JG than Manning and Clausen as Tennessee's qb....and QD for that matter?

Gonna stick with my original thought that a QBs 40 time has absolutely nothing to do how good he's gonna be as an SEC QB, don't care what type of offense he's running. Still much more important to be a good, quick decision-maker and accurate passer

If it's Butch's offense then yes. Manning would have been crippled before he went to the NFL if he played for Butch

Nah. Even in Jones' offense, a qb who can make quick, correct decisions upfield with good accuracy/ball placement is more important than a qb with good straight ahead speed/a great 40 time. If either Manning or Clausen were Jones' qb, you'd see much, much less zone read run game and much, much more downfield passing imho. And you really might wanna re-evaluate your statement that you'd rather have an unproven rs freshman qb who's yet to take a snap in the SEC over one of the greatest to ever play the position.....it's a bit foolish imo.

Butch would stubbornly run the read no option and let the defense collapse on the RB, just like he did with Worley

Man I hope this kids the real deal. I couldn't care less who wins the job. Just put the best one on the field CBJ and lets the chips fall where they fall.

Well, you might actually have a point there. Very little faith in Jones these days, although he did adjust well to the different types of qbs he had at Cincy.

That's difficult to say. Dobbs ran the system to perfection at times, and Worley did not.

The big difference between Worley and Dobbs.

Dobbs had to run for his life at times.

Worley couldn't and got beat to Hell.

He was slow, but he had guts.

That's not what happened. Worley rarely ran the read option. He got hurt trying to pass when we could not pass block. The Oline issues have been here that long.

They ran the read option alot with Worley it was just never a true read he always handed it off I think he ran the ball less than 10 times(estimate) before he got hurt.

But he did get beat up alot.

Noticed on Twitter today that JG mentioned he will be working with George Whitfield over spring break. That's encouraging since the QBs he's worked with usually turn out to be pretty good.
