SR. Josh Dobbs - He has won some and lost some

[VinnyWho]

I'm proud of Josh and his accomplishments at UT. He gives his all and his teammates recognize that. After this TD vs KY, he was swarmed and lifted up. https://www.flickr.com/photos/meshpoint/25328173949/in/dateposted-public/lightbox/

I'm gonna miss him

He is the straw that stirs the drink called UT football. I genuinely appreciate him.

I'm gonna miss him

Me too. I don't think he has NFL skills (hope I'm wrong) but he has Heisman level skills for college ball.

Running a mix of passing and a true zone read coupled with a dedicated QB coach.....he could have been scary good. Love the kid

Whether he's competting for an NFL roster spot or designing airplanes, I'll be cheering for him along the way.

Going to miss his monster runs, miraculous scrambles and most importantly his unselfish attitude. We've been lucky to have him in our program.

I'm going to absorb every minute of his last few games as a Vol.

NFL or not, I wish him well. He's the type of kid you want representing your program on and off the field.

Amen. I'm often critical of Butch, but he's brought in some fine young men to this program and none finer than JD

 

[VinnyWho]

unselfish attitude.

Is Josh.

Legit VFL

GO VOLS...RUN THE TABLE!

It's hard to tell exactly how he does it because he always seems to be gliding, not really running full out, but doggone if he isn't one of the most slippery runners I have ever seen. Tacklers think they have him and he just slides away. Teflon Man!

He truly has. I'm proud of the character this football team has.

I know right!? I have been on the sidelines during his career and I'm shocked that he is still standing.

He was what was needed coming out of the Dooley years. Will have mostly fond memories of his career here.

That said, making really poor decisions this year.

That's one thing I've noticed and I didn't truly notice it until the Florida game last year as far as his speed goes. He looks like he's just jogging but he dusts almost everybody on the field.

Josh, I remember watching your High School highlights and thinking "Man! how talented he is!" Now, I know the depth of your person, and it makes me proud you are a VFL. Sure gonna miss you when your playing days are over, but you will always be a Vol, and wherever you are I will be rooting for you!!!

 

[KBVol]

Outstanding player and great representative of the program and university. Definitely gonna miss him.

 

[Volinnooga]

how many were saying such nice things about him after the SC game?

 

[hooperj75]

Just watched the show the five on Fox News. One of the hosts Lisa Boothe is a UT grad. At the end of the show each host get to show a clip of something they liked in the last 24 hrs. She chose to show highlights of Josh Dobbs against KY. FOX NEWS LOVES US!!!

Don't get why you couldn't have just stopped at "here".

Given the success of a guy like Dak Prescott, I'm sure he'll succeed in the NFL.

Dobbs will be the best Tennessee QB in the NFL since Peyton (which I know isn't saying much).

 

[volfannbama]

One of my favorite Vols ever. Wish I could make the game to show appreciation.

 

[VFL-82-JP]

21-11 (65%) as a starter at UT, en route to a likely 24-12 (67%) career mark.

The on-field catalyst of Tennessee's return to relevance in college football.

One of the three most prolific QBs in Volunteer history, after only Peyton and Casey.

Embodiment of the phrase "student athlete".

Most importantly, though, huge heart and a warm spirit.

We love you, Josh, thanks for being a Volunteer for Life.

 

[quadlee21]

Going to miss this kid. I love the way he plays. He is all heart, plus probably the smartest athlete in the country .............model citizen and will be a true VFL

2014 South Carolina

2015 Georgia

2016 Florida and Georgia, and should have been A&M

Of course the bowl games as well.

He's been behind some amazing games that I'll never forget. The 2014 South Carolina game is one that I'll especially cherish forever, just because of how ridiculously improbable it was.
