The fumble can be attributed to the tackle that got beat on the play.

Don't forget Dormady's 2 wins.

You think 33% outshines Dormady's performance?

I believe it was Trey Smiths man that knocked the ball out..

May have been. I thought it was the right tackle's. I could be wrong. Regardless, it was a lineman that allowed the defense to push him back into arm's reach of the qb.

 

[trampas2bad]

So Greg McElroy and Craig Krenzel were "elite QBs"?

Okay. Have it your way and make a list. I hope I'm wrong. Let's rehash this after the last game of the season. As far as your list goes, they were elite enough to get the job done. Don't bet your paycheck on a non-elite QB leading UT to any championships this season. Just saying.

Al's right, it was Trey. First time I've seen him let his assignment get to the QB. He looked crestfallen about it, too.

(since I couldn't see his face through his helmet, I'm sure I'm probably making up the emotion, but I want to believe he was crestfallen and pissed off; maybe his body language said 'crestfallen')

Based on? This keeps getting regurgitated but what tells you he has more upside?

If you can't tell the kid is more athletic then that's on you.

Great. Schaeffer was more athletic than Ainge, James Banks more than Clausen, Stewart more than Manning, Martin more than Manning. Doesn't mean he's a better quarterback.

This.... I saw a mobile QB with a strong arm, although inaccurate, and not the best decision maker.

Literally said he is a year away. This offense only thrives with a mobile QB so we all should hope he develops into a solid one. Which I think he will in a year or so. But go ahead and compare one of the best damn quarterbacks college or the NFLs ever seen to our current situation.

I'm not talking about the post before that. I'm talking about the post I quoted where you were simply talking about athleticism. What about all the other ones who had backups that were more athletic?

And this offense has done fine so far with Dormady. It has a stable of running backs who can do their jobs, very athletic receivers who look great when they do their jobs, and quarterback who can be trusted to make the pre-snap reads and checks, and can make the throws. As long as the line keeps getting better, along with everyone else, a run-first (Dormady is mobile enough, so I'm not using that word) is not needed.

And you seem to be saying that athleticism is the end all, but clearly history says that's not true, because if it was Crompton would've been better than Ainge.

When did I say the offense wasn't fine? So far...we've yet to play a solid defense so who knows? Dormady is a hell of QB but will he excel with this staff and offense? We've had one wide receiver have a breakout performance so let's not get carried away. You compare the likes of Brent. You do realize that we no longer run a pro style offense right? So comparing the past is irrelevant. Butch wants to run a spread? He needs mobile QBs.

That was two without looking anything up. They weren't in the neighborhood of elite and they weren't solitary examples. History of football is dotted with such. I'm not a gambling addict but thanks for the advice. Just because YOU have rendered a verdict on Dormady doesn't make it case law btw. Take your loss and call your mother. Just saying.

 

[EweTVol]

When he got to play he looked like he did in spring... not was good as he was hyped to be. He isn't ready

 

[Grudenator]

I think Butch was sending a personal message to him that he wasn't ready just to bring him back down to earth a little bit.

JT Barrett is Elite......Athletic
Oh wait buckeyes have lost 2 of last 3 and trailed Indiana first half

I'm glad JG got to play in the game this week, if for nothing else than to solidify in my mind that QD is our starting QB without question.

This is saying Dormady isn't a mobile QB, and in that the offense can't thrive under him.

No, he needs a guy that can still make the reads, make the checks, and make the throws. He's got that. Does Dormady need to get better? Absolutely. But he very easily can thrive without being a mobile QB.

Alright. We will see this weekend when we play a defense worth it's salt. Have a feeling they're just going to pin off on John Kelly every play.

 

[Orange_Vol1321]

Everybody was CERTAIN JG was THE MAN. Now, suddenly, he's not the man.

That's because we have eyes and can see it.

His screen pass touch is good. His deep ball touch is good. But he needs to learn his medium passes don't have to travel at 500MPH. He is going to be good, but he isn't ready yet.

 

[whobethis16]

And if Dormady becomes the first qb to beat Florida his first game against them in 13 years, I'll be right here saying suck it.

 

[volfan102455]

I think Butch was sending a personal message to him that he wasn't ready just to bring him back down to earth a little bit.

The bigger message is probably to the fans who are bent on JG being the starter even if JG did not win the job and is not ready. Some of those fans and some in the media are feeding the frenzy even if it means trashing the other guy. Not good for Tennessee football.

We should all be wanting QD, who is the starter, to improve and for the offense to get better. This will lead to a potential of more reps for JG so he can work on transforming to a good QB.

 

[Volfan2012]

I expect Butch to go with Dormady entire game at florida barring injury. We should see JG again vs Massachusetts. We need to get JG all the reps we can in games we get a good lead in because he has the talent still doesn't have decision making abilty and neither does Dormady although he definitely has a slight edge over JG right now.

 

[johnrlansford]

And pick off the passes that Dormady looks down his receiver the whole time, oh wait that is every play!!!!

Don't get me wrong, I think he can be ok but he hasn't been good thus far. No to the level he needs to play for the SEC. He can get better but his decision making and vision of the field needs to improve quickly!!

 

[Backwards K]

His screen pass touch is good. His deep ball touch is good. But he needs to learn his medium passes don't have to travel at 500MPH. He is going to be good, but he isn't ready yet.

He is a very talented freshman who has no game experience. Even against a very bad, slow team, he struggled with making reads and making plays. But, to be honest, his WRs struggled to get any separation against slow DBs too.

JG just looked very frantic on the field. He will be good once he figures it out. But, he is not nearly as athletic as Dobbs.

 

[sjt18]

You can say it over and over and over... it still isn't true. He's made mistakes. But you guys either don't understand what it means to stare down a receiver... or are watching a different game.

QD has made some bad decisions and reads. He's made a few bad throws. He's also had receivers make poor reads, slow down, or not run routes correctly.

SOME of the plays have two receivers working the same area with the QB reading off the reaction of the D in that area... that is NOT staring the receiver down.
