He thinks he still has Bama’s supporting cast.In the very early weeks of Coach P's tenure of HC at UT, he was asked in an interview about the importance of the quarterback position. He quickly replied, in general terms, that the position was not any more important than any other position. You all and correct my memory.
I don't believe he would make a similar statement today..........

On 3rd/4th down that year, the question wasn't if the opposing offense was going to convert, it was how many yards and if they'd get a TD or not.I remember being in third down situations and not even caring no matter the distance. We had the ability on offense to gain any yardage necessary. CP was amazing to watch. EDIT: Unfortunately, our defense was the same way, no matter the distance, 3rd and Sunseri.
And Jerry got some coaching/assistant work out of the experience.Yep. I know the family and had an insider's angle on that battle. Heath had more physical talent but the mental part came easier to Jerry. They were friends and Colquitt helped Heath with the playbook iirc even after Heath became the starter. I think an opportunity for Jerry may have also played into Heath's decision to leave early.
Peterman never threw a TD. Wow.Interesting... ranking of QBs based on passing efficiency since 2000

Bray had so much potential to do great things here, he was just a victim of time and circumstancesTo get rid of the one offs...here it is listed with multi year starters listed by winning %

Man we were spoiled having Peyton, Tee and Iceman back-to-back-to-back. That run of successful QBs will probably never be duplicated in our program.
Kelly, Dobbs, Clausen, Bray, Ainge. Are all under appreciated because we have a large section of our fan base that are ignorant and say “remember when he threw that interception” or “remember when he didn’t shake my hand at the Vol walk”Josh Dobbs will go down as one of the most under appreciated QBs at UT, maybe even the conference
Well, they say what your team is. Olszewski's record doesn't look good but he was tough as nails and I would take him as our Qb right now. Same for Cockrell.I've seen all but the first two on this list play and have to say that the records pretty much sum up that you are what your record says you are.
On the OL he played w 3 future NFLers, Jacques McClendon, Ramon Foster and Chris Scott. He also had on the offense Arian Foster, Montario Hardesty, Bryce Brown, Denarius Moore, and Luke StockerName that tune.
The only remotely possible group is WR... and UT is much deeper this year. The OL had two walk ons and a 275 lb RS Fr with a painkiller problem. Hardesty was the only RB and his knees were gone.
I'll give you Stocker. He was a more complete TE than any on this team that we know of.
Where do you disagree?
