Hooker, and there is no second place. His stats indicate that if he'd had the same amount of time as Manning at UT, he'd have challenged every record Manning set.

That system would’ve been interesting to see what Dobbs or Casey Clausen would do in this system. Bray also would’ve been very good in Heupel’s system.

Hooker is the best I've seen here and I've been around a long time.

His TD to INT ratio will not likely ever be matched. He threw a better/tighter ball than Manning, was way more athletic, and made better decisions with passes, thus fewer ints/fewer incomplete passes. He never had close to the offensive talent Manning/Clausen etc played with either, especially at OL and really at WR and RB.

We used to field teams full of Jaylen Hyatt types and our RB room was stacked with NFL all-pros.

That's not trying to down Manning. Hooker was just that incredible. You can also add in the 1000 yards rushing he had and 10 rushing touchdowns. Hooker had 68 touchdowns total in less than 2 seasons.

We've seen now with Milton and Nico that Hooker was just that great and not a system QB.

I must say Hooker is the best QB in my life. Peyton was playing with a top 5 roster every year and the SEC was basically UT/UF for the Manning years. Bama,LSU,UGA, OLE MISS, ETC were lucky to be bowl eligible. If Peyton were to have gone to Ole Miss and do the same as Hendon, that would be a good example. Hooker was a pimp.

For a long time I said Dobbs...his Sr year with 40 combined TDs is a school record (I believe). It's impressive what he did with such a poor offensive system and no position coach.

But Hendon took better care of the ball and took things to another level, so I'd definitely say Hooker.

Hooker

hate to say it, but Josh's offense has look pedestrian with any other QB he's had so far not named Hendon Hooker.

Milton and Nico were okay at best in it.

Hooker made that offense really work and established Josh's rep as a genius offensive mind. Hopefully he can find another guy who can do that, but so far, Hooker has been the only one to operate it at an elite level.

Dobbs was the best given the circumstances. Tee Martin had the most team success and Hooker had the most statistical success. Put Dobbs in either of their spots and he does better. That's why he's the best.

Comparing apples to oranges anyway. The game changed for QB's. Manning, Martin, Ainge, Clausen, Milton all were still prototypical NFL style QB's. Dobbs & Hooker have been the only true dual threat QB's on a UT roster. Well and Shuler but that term wasn't a thing then.

We used to recruit sprinters to the track team that could catch a football, and fund their scholly through the football program. That concept died out, and the track team has suffered because of it as well. In the 70's and 80's, and maybe into the 90's, half the receiving corp was probably sprinting for the track coach. UT used to be a top destination for men's track.

i guess to me Peyton will always be my number 1 he is a true vol for life because he chose to stay and play his senior year and risked getting hurt and never playing again. to me that showed how much he love Tennessee and their fans. casey was a true vol. and so was Eric Ainge. but for this type of offence H.H. WAS AS GREAT a QB. as anyone could want. my hat off to ever QB that plays for TENN. i will always root for everone that play for the BIG ORANGE. GOD BLESS
