Starting QB

Butch can't and won't change QBs and it's all because of 1 thing.... his ego. If he were to give JG a real chance and he tore it up then it makes Butch look like he can't evaluate QBs and he can't have that.

We run a read option offense that is either a pass or RB run. Not much option there if you ask me. Without a QB who can keep the D on its heels were a simple offense.

Long season fellas it may go down as one of the worst in history

Looking at Ferguson light it up yesterday and what Peterman did last year tells me we are in a tough spot in that we have young and talented qbs who will be successful. But looking back, these guys who transferred looked below average when they were thrown into the fire early, but they developed well given the opportunity. I would give JG and Dormady 50/50 snaps this week, with an increased mindset of run first...it's what we do well. Dormady showing good and bad but must continue to develop both. Let's face it, if not for the last play, we prob win in over time, and we are talking about how resilient the team is. TURNOVERS and a few isolated poor play calls on offense sunk us. Shouldn't have been that close of a game.

Do what we do well against UMASS? Just the opposite. We need to practice WR getting separation and QD getting the ball to them in stride.

I hit my mid irons straight. My short game is solid and I never three putt. I hit 3-4 balls OB every round off the tee with my driver. Which part of my game do I need to work on?

I don't care if the QB is Peyton. On first down at the one yd line and Kelly running like he was, you give it to Kelly. period.

Hey... remember last year when a lot of people on here wanted to throw QD in every time Dobbs didn't go 24/22 for 500 yards??😂😂😂

Come on guys, there is no way you can blame the int when we were on the goal line on QD. If you do, then you truly have no clue about football. QD is throwing to a spot he expects our receiver to be. As a WR, you have to get in front of the db on the slant. That is taught in middle school.

Palmer quit on the route and the pic is solely on his shoulders.

I am honestly glad Dobbs is gone. Dobbs was good enough to overcome our coaching and get us a win or two where we didn't deserve it. Now that he's gone we can watch this miserable coaching experiment end.

Anytime an interception is thrown its on the QB. If the receiver ran the wrong route throw it in the dirt. I think we need to start JG against UMass and let him go the entire way!

If QD doesn't play lights out against our next cupcake game this Saturday I truly believe you have no choice but to play JG.

Sure he may not be 100% ready to start SEC ball but neither was Dobbs and look how he turned out. And Dormady obviously isn't ready either.

With JG and our run game I think he could have a more explosive offense since teams will have to worry about him with the read option. Throw in some run/pass options while feeding JFK 20+ touches a games and I think we could see a different team and confidence.

I had high hopes for dormady, but he's 3 games into being the starting QB @ UT and he literally looks the same as he did in the GT game. He shows good flashes but that's not enough. I saw some complaining about the WRs yesterday saying they are the reason for those INTs but I disagree. Dormady threw that one to Callaway for example and the dude had to jump 5 yards just to get a hand on it. High throw. Dormady also got Byrd a concussion after the GT game also. 50% passing doesn't cut it for a Junior.


Play JG.

I don't understand why everyone is all about JG... I believe the kid has the physical tools to play the position... i want to see him continue supporting the team when he don't play though... the Georgia Tech game left me with questions about his maturity. If you're part of a team, support your team mates even when you're not on the field if you are to be a leader. I believe Sheriron Jones was a far better example of how to act on the sideline than was JG this year. I will say, I've seen more effort in this area from him the last couple games & hope he continues to make strides there, but he still has some maturing to do before being the starting QB.

Sorry, but you clearly have no idea what you are talking about. Do you understand timing routes, do you understand he is releasing the ball before Palmer even turns to look at the ball. Come on, give me a break.

QD is and should be the starter, he has done nothing to lose his job. Two of the interceptions were on the receivers. He had two touchdown passes dropped,bad coaching is what the problem is not QD!

QD has been shaky and I've been very disappointed in his general accuracy.

That said, everything you wrote is right. Palmer was awful yesterday in dropping a TD pass and running the wrong route leading to one pick. The ball to Callaway was high but Marquez got both hands on it and should've come down with it.....that pick 6 never should've happened.

QD wasn't great by any stretch, but the TD pass to Wolf was a thing of beauty and he did a very good job late leading TD drives, and checking the ball down to Kelly, who is 90% of our offense.

Well that's complete bull ish. How about the pick late on the goal line when Palmer didn't run the slant he was supposed to and lazily jogged straight into the end zone? That Dormady's fault? Get out of here with that crap.

Lyles team,offense,players, etc.... It's why he won't be coaching here in the future. Especially when Neyland stadium starts dipping with below average tickets,like the Doofus years, that be Lyles ticket out.

QB's are coached to throw the ball away, and not force throws. You don't take points off the board. You don't have a throw, it goes into the stands. Blaming it one a coach or play calling shows your lack of football knowledge. Everyone wants to blame coaches for bad execution. You execute the play that the coaches call. If he'd thrown a TD, no one would be saying a word. He threw an INT on the goal line and people still sing his praises.

I'm not saying that JG should start, but some y'all are acting like QD didn't struggle yesterday. Aside from his TD to Wolf, none of his throws looked that good. Also, about half of his yards came from Chandler and Kelly out in the flat. Two of those INTs were QD's fault. The pick-six was a bad pass; he had time and is capable of making a better throw, which should have resulted in a first down. The other was a bad pass over the middle to Chandler. The other pick is on Palmer for inexplicably cutting off his route. Not only that, but Dormady misread the zone read multiple times and took an ill-advised sack when he could have stepped up and moved out of the pocket and thrown it away (which then resulted in a missed field goal by Cimaglia).

We have a great back in JK and two good options in Chandler and CFA. Dormady doesn't need to throw the ball 40 times a game for us to win.

On a timing route. You throw to spots all the time. Palmer ran it wrong. The other two were bad throws but that one was on Palmer. Don't comment on things you know very little about.

While we are on the subject of backups, I look forward to seeing the Will McBride kid play when he gets his chance. Hopefully, he'll redshirt. He is small (6' or 6'1") but in his HS video he appears to be a natural leader, athlete, gamer, competitor with an unusually strong arm for his size.

Do you really think he had time to realize the receiver ran the wrong route on a two step drop, quick slant? Wow.

Though apparent JG not as polished, 3 ints wont cut it for Dormady. Think about it, the int going into the end zone and the pick 6 is 14 point opportunity to improve.

Let JG hand it off and run it, and sprinkle in some passes...then we actually have an identity.

Hate to keep beating a dead horse but the Dawson int on the goal line was NOT Dormady's fault. Basic timing slant route. Dormady throws to a spot Palmer should be at before he makes his cut. Palmer screwed him by breaking the route off.

Dormady definitely has room for improvement but the receivers have got to help their QB. Dormady is NOT this teams main problem..
