i thought you were talking about completely changing our system.i agree we could have a dual threat in our program but it would only be good for 8to 10 plays a game maybe even less.if i'm still mis understanding,its not on purpose.

no, I am not a spread fan, unless it is a woman. I'm in my mid forties. I like real football. Bartkowski, Staubach, white, SYoung, Montana...those are real QB's that could pack up and run WHEN it was time to make that decision. Well except Bartkowski. I just liked him anyway

We were successful with manning because well he was manning and our line for four years only had to know how to hold a pocket or get a block executed to free one of our REAL running backs we had then.

Seems like Dooley-Chaney are more set on pro-style offense, so don't see them going after that kind of recruit unless they would be thinking about restructuring entire offensive scheme.

One of the reasons Hamilton made the hire. Didnt want to change tradition by going to a gimmick offense.

Pass first, run second. But be unafraid to pull it down. Tee Martin and NC comes to mind.

Yes that would be awesome and help our running game tremendously.

I'll take a hybrid Heath Shuler, Tee Martin, and Tony Robinson.

We should have repeated with that team. Everyone forgets Tee was the QB in 1999 as well.

I don't care if they run a 5.0 40 or a 4.4 40, as long as they have the intangibles to win, that's all that matters at the QB position.

Anyone who would choose a strictly drop back QB, over a duel threat QB who is just as good a passer plus has the ability to run is just stupid, period.

name one...I have never seen a dual threat that was just as good a passer as the pure passer QB's, other then that you would be right.

But what happens is dual QB's usually develop the running talent portion of the "dual" due to the fact they are forced to, because they don't have as much of an arm, or the accuracy...

It took me a second to figure out your angle here, but I got it. Yes they both had tremendous defenses and defense wins championships. Tee was a far better QB than Trent ever thought about being though IMO. Trent fell into a great situation as well as Tee.

The one thing that I don't get about Tee, and I know that I am going to catch a lot of crap over this, is that Tee had the same team as Peyton more or less with a "lesser" running back and did more. Granted a few things went UTs way ex: Stoerner fumble. But, no one talks about Tee. I'm not Tee is a better QB. Just look at their records. Peyton is the best QB of his generation IMO, but Tee won a NC. Just my opinion. Don't murder it too much.


As to the accuracy, didn't Tee break one of Peyton's recordse against USCe for accuracy?

no he did not have the same team as peyton.....our defense was absolutely demolished by Nebraska in the bowl game.......it made our players and chavis mad......we changed our entire approach and came back with one of the best defenses in the country.

Yes tee did set the completion record but it was against an absolutely pathetic gamecock team.

Amazing that it took 83 posts in this thread to come up with those 2 names. It shows the lack of "experience" of most fans.

The problem with a "dual threat" QB is always the potential for injury. It seems that a drop back type QB can hit his thumb on a helmet but there isn't the high potential for a season ending hit that often. A dual threat QB means there must be dual QBs ready to go.

I was being polite to myself! I've been going to UT games in various capacities since the mid-50's. I watched the transition from single wing to pure T to wing T and right on through to today. I saw all of the Majors boys play. I watched the emphasis shift from linebackers to QBs to wide receivers. I am experienced. To many I might even be old!

Personally, I like a pocket passer. Although some teams with running qb's are good teams I just hate watching those offenses.

Would you like for Tennessee to recruit a dual-threat type QB next time around, or are you happy with the pro-style pocket passers that we have traditionally seen? I enjoy watching what we have now, but I also wouldn't mind a fresh look with a dangerous runner at QB in a few years.
