One thing I don't understand is how Bama can seamlessly transition between pro style and dual threat QBs.
You will experience many Vol Spring And Fall football practices where you hear about all of these GREAT changes that our staff has made.
And there will be all kinds of stories written on how such and such player and whosits this or that has really improved or come back strong from injury and how we are KILLING IT in the weight room.
How we have incredible depth in so many places despite always having the youngest roster ever and toughest schedule ever.
Our Qbs are extremely mobile and can throw it 90 yards, or so we are told. All of them are killing it in practice.
Same with our secondary. Tons better.
Now knows how to turn their heads.
Won't get beat anymore on the long ball.
Then , the season starts and:
We have two concerning lackluster wins before Florida.
Players with PREVIOUS injuries surface. Are now out.
Several other very important starters get hurt tying their shoes while crossing the street and are out for season.
But, still, there's hope vs Florida.
The Gators look to be very vulnerable and subpar in their first two games.
Several rapists, serial killers, etc. on suspension.
Then, we find a million ways to lose to Gators.
Terrible execution. Worse coaching moves. Sadness. :cray:
Then, word seeps out of campus that there is dissension and has been all during camp on Team whatever hell #.
Players hate Butch.
Former players hate Butch
Big donors hate Butch.
Your Momma and them now hate Butch. Bless his heart.
How, there was a lot of talk that this or that such and such assistant coach here or player group there have a dysfunctional room, can't coach me up and players are really underperforming, not that athletic, slow of foot and mind, smoked too much dope, hit their teammates at the dorm or roommates off campus, screwed the wrong girls possibly without permission.
How our qbs are statues with cement shoes.
Our oline again just not living up.
Our DBs still lost in translation.
SEC Network say Vols not a physical team - AGAIN.
Not a well coached team - AGAIN.
Booger flicks a booger while discussing our East chances.
Our fan base goes apoplectic over another Gator loss:
How Butch is MAC level only.
Not a smart individual.
Has lost the team.
Needs to go.
How much is his buyout?
Visions of Gruden, Kelly, Mullen, etc. Blah blah blah.
Sigh.
Being a VFL ain't easy.
Why can't I quit you my demon mistress- UT football.
You are slowly killing me. :thud:

Bama has not developed a QB since Saban has been there.
Their QBs all get vastly overrated because of all the talent around them.
They ask their QBs to manage the game. That's it. Hurts is the exception, as they seem to rely on one or two splash plays a game from him.
We don't have that luxury. Mainly, because that requires a sound scheme and sound execution, which Butch isn't capable of.
One thing I don't understand is how Bama can seamlessly transition between pro style and dual threat QBs.
Canales couldn't even get the OC job at his alma mater last year at Utah State. It was a cronyism hire by Jones, plain and simple.
I didn't expect anything awe inspiring from him with the QB's and he certainly hasn't disappointed.
A redshirt sophomore that isn't capable of taking a snap under center according to the head coach? Gimme an effin' break.
Both guys have the potential to be really good but it's going to be a slow process with either of them. Don't think Jones and his offensive staff have it in them to get drastic improvements out of them in short order.
Dormady has played only 3 games - and only 1 at home. And he did improve albeit the mental mistakes were prevalent.
But less we forget - Josh Dobbs was awful at times his first and even second year. Mental mistakes galore. It was not until his Senior season did he put it all together.
And if not for his ability to run, much of which forced upon on him by a porous line, he would have been woefully ineffective at times.
I would love to go back in time and see how many armchair QB's on here called for Dobbs benching only to praise him later in his career.
The only issue I see with Dormady - he is truly a pocket guy. They should line up and play that way.
