"Hey Kesling, you wanna take this one.."
All part of today's entitlement culture. I've heard rumors that Hendrix cleared out his locker because that bastard Butch Jones had the "Opportunity is Nowhere" sign repainted from blue to white, requiring the team to make their own determination whether Dooley was being sarcastic or not. Also heard it made Scott so mad that he broke his hand punching a wall.
I'd bet Riley Ferguson thought he was lied to, no matter how you want to twist it. IMO that's partly why he never materialized at UT. He just never bought in and or trusted the staff after what happened on NSD.
Riley was turning into bray 2.0. He wanted to be coddled. Dobbs, on the other hand, is mentally tough and a leader off the field as well as on it. If he continues to progress on his reads, he is (will be) everything you could ask for in a QB. Though not on par with him on the field, he's the most Peyton-esque kid we've had under center since the Manning-Martin era in terms of leadership qualities. A leader who isn't rattled by critics.
It was interesting to listen to a 4 QBs last spring. Worley, Dobbs, and Peterman all praised each other. Riley could barely string together a coherent sentence and bristled at the notion that a senior would possibly start next year, not to mention bother going to class or being a good teammate. It's harsh, but that was the impression he left.
Also Butch took over after he was already committed...much has been made out of the Bama offer...how solid was that? Was it more Saban trying to gum up the new coach's class? In retrospect it seems grossly unfair to peg Butch as "shady" for trying to get extra talent at a position that was depleted...the acknowledged MOST important position? I'm with Leb on the thinking that when you accept a commitment , it should hold, but Butch is ultimately judged on win and losses...I'll support whatever he has to do or compromise to get this program where it belongs. Neither Negavols or Sunshine Pumpers will accept warm fuzzy wins over actual ones.
I think Dobb's has proved that a running QB will have sucess in this offense. Dobb's is smart but Engineers think different from the average person its hard to explain but Im a drunk engineering major so I know what im talking about. lol
We think about thinks it terms of physics and the laws of engineering.
Dobbs's is smart from what I've heard but HE WONT LEAD US past 8-4.
for those who don't know engineering is one of the hardest majors to compete.
They take the highest level math classes with physics classes. plus engineering classes and it leads to engineering students going crazy!!! lol
When I toured UTK's engineering department my student guide told me Dobb's was type student that just showed up and got good grades. Not many ppl can do that.
I don't think it's a conspiracy. Just shady recruiting tactics. If CBJ pushes to sneak in the 3rd QB, I just hope that QD & JJ's parents are smart enough to see it playing out and advises the kids to take a step back. Unless CBJ gets burned pulling stuff like this, he will continue doing it. I'd rather not see it.
