Why doesn't this guy get offers by the week? Does he and it's just not mentioned or has nobody offered him recently?

Who else does he need to be offered by? Bama, Auburn, OSU, plus a bunch more that I can't remember. Once he committed to us, most teams saw the writing on the wall and backed off.

I'm becoming increasingly interested in and hopeful about the idea of JJ being our next QB. I love Dormady, but we know one thing about running QBs: they have a much better shot of taking a mediocre offense to the next level. They can handle playing behind a less than stellar offensive line, and they can make plays happen even if nobody else is pulling their weight.

JJ may not have the ceiling of Dormady (though I don't know for sure that he doesn't). And he may have a better chance at not being a good SEC QB. But, I think that he could step in and give us a better shot at upsetting a few teams and at keeping our offense in the game for the rest.

Not to mention, he has been putting up some impressive passing stats, and has looked very good in the highlights that I've seen. I'd love for him to keep it up and to come in and get some action for us in 2015, allowing Dormady to redshirt, and to see him start for us in 2016.

Yeah, I started to jump on board with that the first time I saw him live. Seen him three times now and been more and more impressed each time. No knock on QD but I would be surprised if Jennings isn't the quarterback of our future. And I can't wait for it.

You don't schedule games like that to sit starters either. That is a marquee game for Tennessee and Alabama HS football in general.

They'll get embarrassed if they don't.... Hoover is a national HS powerhouse. He'll have his hands full with that D-line for Hoover. It's loaded with a Bama commit on one end and an Auburn commit on the other.

I've thought for awhile that QD will be the better QB at first and with him being an EE certainly helps, but in the long run I think Jennings will prove to be the better weapon due to his speed and athleticism..

Kinda like how great Peyton was when he was here but it was Tee Martin that won the big one..

pro style qbs are highly technical yet so limited . Been waiting on this move for a long time.

This kid's balls hang in the air too long. This is an arm strength concern. :)

Huh?!?!?

What balls are you talking about? The ones where he is rolling left and flicks it 50 yards downfield on one leg....yeah arm strength scares me to death!

They haven't seen him in person. He's got a cannon. He will thrive in this offense.

Yep...I just love it when people take hearsay and message board conjuncture as fact and keep spouting it over and over when there is no basis in fact.

If I am going to critique him on anything that he needs to work on for the next level it is his release. He needs to quicken his motion up a little to throw against SEC defenses, but that is a fixable problem....as Dobbs demonstrated tonight.

How can you not be excited about this guy? Has all the tools plus might be a little faster than Dobbs. Will get to sit and redshirt behind him and will get a couple of years of S&C.

He's improved greatly with this already. He will get there.

fyp. :)

Yes, now that they have burned Dobbs' red shirt, he will be a rs Soph when he has his shot with 3 more years to play. That is just about an ideal scenario....unless we have even more injuries at the position (surely not 3 years in a row).

What's Dobbs speed compared to Jennings?

I think Jennings has a better frame. Get him to 220-225 and he could be really difficult to brig down.

That being said, the thing that has impressed me about Dobbs since the first time I saw any of his tape is that he has great shiftiness and escapability. He's not the biggest or the fastest, but he has a knack for making guys miss.

I would have thought that Jennings would be faster than Dobbs considering a lot of people project him at safety, and think he could be a very good one at that. Either way I am rooting for Jennings even more after last night. We saw what a QB who is a threat to run can do. I'm not sure exactly how fast QD is, but I want a QB who can run. Dobbs helped the offense out tremendously. He made the offensive line look a lot better too.

That is the only critique I had as well. They will have that corrected his first season. Bright future ahead IMO.
