'16 LA QB Deuce Wallace

It's a long time to football season, but will get to see him play a couple games when it gets here. What I saw last year did not warrant an offer yet IMO. Will see.

Would be an interesting discussion.

Top tier:
Manning
Holloway
Shuler
Martin (Win Natty = make list imo)
A. Kelly
C. Clausen
B. Scott

Probably next tier:
Ainge
T. Robinson (wish he'd have stayed clean)
Dewey Warren (The Swamp Rat)
Jeff Francis (Not a personal fav but a decent qb on some mediocre teams)

Could probably be talked into shuffling the list a tad but I think those are the names. Tyler Bray... amazing arm, great stats, head full of gravel.

Dobbs could very well make this list if he starts 2 more seasons and the upward trajectory continues.

Swingin the ship back to Deuce... probably not a spot for him at UT unless we only get 1 of Kendall/JG/Oden.

All jmo.

Clausen is #2. Holloway never played on a competing team unless you want to count the Bluebonnet Bowl. Clausen consistently beat Bama and Florida on the road. He was highly underrated as a collegiate QB.

When both programs hit the skids (full credit for 2001 win over Spurrier though). Played horribly against the mean machine that was the Francione era for the Tide in 2002. Got spanked by Mark Richt his senior year in Neyland.


Martin 5-1 vs Bama, Florida, UGA- undefeated at Neyland.
Clausen 6-4 vs Bama, Florida, UGA (not including games he missed from injury)

Ainge had as good a record against those three as Clausen did.

Look at who is virtually 2nd in all of the QB stats. Again, Holloway won a Bluebonnet Bowl. Big Deal! Martin did not play the same teams that Clausen played. He had the luxury of playing different coaches.

2001 UGA game was lost by Fulmer and Chavis and had nothing to do with Clausen. Remember the squib kick and Mustang package?

I would like to see some data to back up your list.

Holloway was 0-3 vs. Bama, never played UF, and was 1-1 against UGA. How does he get to #2 on the list?

I'd say Peyton Manning,Condredge Holloway,Heath Shuler,Dewey Warren and whoever wins out between Tony Robinson and Casey Clausen for top 5 (I lean Robinson)...some would convincingly argue Tee Martin to displace one of them but it would be decimal points...then you have Jeff Francis and other than Erik Ainge who else? Easily top 10 QB in TN history and that's praiseworthy...bonus that he's a Tennessee boy.

Think mine would be Peyton,Clausen, Shuler, Holloway, Robinson and Tee tied for 5. And just doing mine off guys I have actually watched play at UT. Casey was a warrior for us. And if not for the majority of his teammates not showing up for the LSU game after we beat UF then he would have played in a NC game that yr. To this day I will argue we had zero business losing that game. Hell we knocked Rohan out and it should have never been close after that. That was when my hate for Saban began. But that team was as good as we have had in my time. Had future NFL guys all over the field and still think that team was better overall than the '98 team that won it all. Especially on offense.

We couldn't adjust to bootlegs from the backup Mauck...with two NFL first round picks at DT. :pinch: Still hurt from that.

Wow Northwestern is the Vandy of the big ten. Worse conference and far from home. Tells you how much he liked Vandy

A Mountain Press article on him this AM had him undecided. It obviously was written before the visit to NW this weekend since Rivals now shows a solid verbal. lol at Vandy!

I think being tied down to an anchor effected his decision.

True!" Vandy has too much talent though and will upset us in Neyland. Plus they own us of late"

Fact: We won the basketball series and football "series" so shove it Vandy
