So why has Torrance Gibson been UT's top choice for QB in 2015 class? I guess it has nothing to do with his mobility and running ability or the fact that he can "break ankles".....
:good!:
I'd really love to see your coaching resume. According to you there is no one more knowledgeable about Butch Jones and everything that he does than you. What's the possibility of you renting TB Arena to sign and sell your autograph. You could get rich in one day according to how you feel about yourself. I guess if you weren't demanding a $12 million per year salary Dave Hart would have hired you!![]()
The majority of my posts within this thread concern CBJ's QBs rushing stats over his career as a head coach. I did not make those stats up or pull them out of the air. Those stats show that his QB's usually account for over 20% of the total rushing yards for his teams with the exception of last year. And last, CBJ and his OC said numerous times that Worley needed to "keep" the ball more than he did which would have increased the QB's rushing yards. Even Worley made this comment a number of times before he was sidelined with an injury.
I do not understand why so many on this board refuse to acknowledge this...... It will remain to be scene whether QD has the mobility to run CBJ's offense. I have also said that QD has the looks of a good pro-style qb.

Long time lurker but time to throw out some logic here. Why put all your eggs in the Gibson basket and take the chance that you could be left without a qb come February? Who knows whether we could've pulled Gibson or not. We didn't have the luxury to wait on him. I'm not a coach but Dormady's film looks good to me and he was only a sophmore. I think we're lucky we got him and should be happy to have his talents. Pretty excited about the future of the program.
A few points....
He runs a 4.15 shuttle and around the same 40 time as Dobbs. He shouldn't have any trouble keeping a defense honest. Also with him being an EE he'll have a lot of extra time to learn the intricacies of the zone read.
I also don't see how it's so far-fetched to think that CBJ is wanting to scale back the amount his QB runs now that he's in the most physical league in the country.
Finally, I'd rather take an athletic pocket passer and teach him the zone read than take a super athletic DT QB with a questionable passing game and have to coach him up on that. Much easier to teach scrambling and zone reads than an up tempo spread passing game. I would have loved to get TG, but you can't deny that he would have been a project as well.

we do understand,what you fail to understand is with 5* WR's,4*TE's and a 5* RB,that the read option spread will probably not be run as much if Dormandy is the QB and he will only run it just to keep the Defense off balance from time to time... not 20%,more like 3-5%
247 Top 5 QB even though he didn't play as Jr...check
strong arm, fast feet, accurate passer...check
Dormady is a QB and not a WR...check
Butch likes Dormady....check
Gruden likes Dormady...check
Dormady likes UT........check
Saban wanted Dormady...check
Dormady didn't want Saban...check
some on Volnation didn't want Dormady.... :loco:

I think the fans have the right to be miserable over with the results over the last 8 years or so, Doc. CBJ seems to be hitting home run after home run on the recruiting trail but until the improvement shows on the field, they'll always be skepticism. Patience be running thin around here.
How well did Worley learn the zone read from the time CBJ stepped on campus until he was injured? He was very reluctant to "keep" the ball when the defense gave him the run.
Worley didn't run the ball at all before, so keeping it any was keeping it more. I bet he'll keep it even more this year now too. It won't be 20% of the rushing though.
No coach in their right mind WANTS their QB to carry 20% of the rushing load. Even if the QB does carry that much of the load, I doubt tat the coach WANTS it that way.
Back when UT went 10-1 regular season then beat the Razorbacks in the Cotton Bowl, people wee still *****ing. I think Coach Majors got kinda fed up.
I understand his frustration.
Only time I get upset is when coaches or players do not give their all... Ie dooley, sal, bray, etc
