'18 GA QB Emory Jones (Ohio State commit)

[Dobbs 4 Heisman]

But you can say JG will get the job even though he has never been in uniform for a college game?

He's the more talented player (higher recruiting rank) and is a better fit for the offense.

Saying the more highly touted guy who fits the offense perfectly will start isn't much of a stretch.

Saying a less heralded prospect whose fit with the offense is questionable will start is more of a stretch.

Dobbs 80 yard TD pass to Malone versus Kentucky was better. Longer throw. Better competition. And in stride for a TD.

Also Dobbs pass to Malone against South Carolina that should have been a TD was also better.

He had some really nice throws in the Bama game as well.

Experience and growth stomp your rankings and fit bud.

Guarantano will have 1 year in the system by the time fall camp 2017 rolls around.

I think he'll be fine on the experience front by then.

Aren't the services player rankings garbage? I thought that's what you said anyways.

It's just more handcrafted fiction courtesy of the gang that knows Butch's offense better than he does. :lol: The offense is adjustable to each QB's strengths. No QB is "perfect" for it. The quarterback that masters the offense will have it PERFECTED for him.

If Dormady starts over JG in 2017 I want you to change your name to "Dormady4Heisman."

If JG takes it from Dormady a JUNIOR, then I will change my name to "Bendsoverfortacobell."

deal?

To be honest, I could care less who was higher rated in recruiting. That has no bearing on who runs the offense better.

I happen to believe, as you do, that Guarantano will ultimately take the starters role in 2017. Not because he is higher rated, but because he presents more of a weapon in the running game.

Screw it, I say Zac Jancek.

@ALLVOLNEWS: We just offered a 2018 QB as we are told to be on the lookout for a decision from 2018 QB Emory Jones. Take it as you wish.

 

[SouthKnoxVOL]

Exactly..Dormady will take over the next 2 years after Dobb's leaves then JG is up after. Our receivers will be much better utilized next year and put up much bigger numbers.R really excited about QD.

Our offense will take a step back next year. That's just the reality of it. Now, our defense will still be damn good though.

 

[Volunteer forever]

He cant be the starting QB. Too tall

 

[PassedOutAwake]

That's left to be determined. Weisman is the only SR OL we will lose. We may lose Dobbs, Hurd and Kamara, so our running game will definitely decrease, but we could become heavier in the passing game, which could in turn put up bigger stats. And with the type of receivers we have coming in, that could be a possibility. I think we will be more of a home run threat type of team next year.

Told ya Dooby.. You knocked the crust right off that turd....

 

[BigBadVol]

What about Sheriron Jones? Loves the program, excellent athlete, strong arm, impressed in limited practice reps,........:dunno:

 

[volinbama256]

do not expect Dormady to start by default... JG and Jones will push hard...

 

[volinbama256]

Then Emory Jones comes in an pushes JG....

The QB competition is going to be at least half the fun of the next offseason.

 

[BaldBiker]

The QB competition is going to be at least half the fun of the next offseason.

To be honest, I'm kind of hoping we don't have a fun QB competition next Spring. That would mean we won a lot of games by enough points that Dormady got a lot of game time reps (guessing the days of vanilla play with the back-ups is over) and solidifies himself as the starter for '17.

If that doesn't happen, then by all means, let em all compete and best man takes the reigns.

 

[BondJamesBond]

What?

We haven't even seen him in a competitive game yet.

How could anyone say something like this?

Nor have we seen Garantano, bit that didn't keep you from coronation him two posts earlier. "Highly touted" means nothing unless it is highly touted by the Tennessee staff.

 

[Big Orange Jeff]

Dormady is more than capable on his feet to do what needs to be done to run this offense well. He's a hell of a talent throwing the ball though.

What? We haven't even seen him in a competitive game yet. How could anyone say something like this?

Literally two minutes earlier...

I'm confident it'll be Guarantano. He fits the offense better and was more highly touted.

 

[butchna]

Are you alleging that his schtick is inconsistent? hmy:

 

[InVOLuntary]

Does one of QD or SJ transfer if they don't win the starting job next year?

 

[CrunchingTheVolz]

Does one of QD or SJ transfer if they don't win the starting job next year?

I'd bet on it. If Guarantano wins it by chance, I could see it a possibility BOTH transfer.

 

[butchna]

Does one of QD or SJ transfer if they don't win the starting job next year?

IMO Butch plays a shell game. If Guarantano out and out wins the starting nod, he may not be the IMMEDIATE starter. If Dormady gets the initial start, SJ would be less likely to bolt ala Colorado. He would have hope he could eventually beat him out. Now if Sheriron wins out of Fall camp, I think Dormady sees the writing on the wall and moves so as to not waste that redshirt year and uses it for a transfer. Of course if Dormady CLEARLY wins the spot, SJ may reevaluate. Butch tried to maximize eligibility for Dobbs and steal a year by treading water with Worley and Peterman. I doubt he goes down that road ever again.
