Tebow had a rocket??

Like a V2 rocket from WWII. Not that fast, and not that accurate.

Or maybe a SCUD

Accurate enough to win the Heisman.

By the way, your second favorite team sucks.

I don't know if I should be terribly excited or terribly depressed.

Its practice lol they don't win every rep

Huh? Not a familiar trend?

I like Dobbs. He's a great leader. He's as good as they come as a student-athlete. He's one of the greatest running QB's to ever play at UT.

BUT..... him underthrowing receivers and particularly on vertical routes IS an all TOO familiar trend. I have no doubt at all that he has worked at it and continues to do so.... but the lack of an effective vertical game could be the difference in this season.

Absolutely agree. The vertical passing game will make or break us this season. We have the potential to be as prolific of an offense as you will find but that hinges on Dobb's being able to stretch the field. Just not sure if he can't do it by now if he ever will. He has shown flashes of being able to do it just needs to do it more consistently. TN and LSU both will be in the SEC Championship if they get better going vertical.

His mechanics are very average.
Not clean at all. He fights against his body a lot.

I just.... nevermind.

And he continues to take unnecessary risks several times every game it seems instead of just taking what the defense gives.

Just watched the UGA game again last night.... one pass in particular comes to mind. I think it was supposed to be a deep out.... it hit the ground at least 5 yards in front of the WR.

I remember several passes he threw short on vertical routes allowing them to be defended. Honestly.... I can't think of even one he over threw. And this of course takes in that he doesn't throw vertical often.... which is probably a statement on the coaches' confidence.

So since your memory is $#!+ Dobbs has never overthrown a ball. Got it 🙄

Tebow had a rocket??

He was amazingly accurate at the 3 yard jump pass.

Very glad Shoop is working with the Safeties himself.....

We've had very poor play from that position for years!
The Big Eye don't lie.....obviously Shoop has seen something there that he wants to "coach" himself!

I don't disagree that we've been lacking at safety, but Your last point is moot since Shoop has worked hands on at safety at his previous stops too. It's his pet position.
