A telltale sign at the Vol Walk

Yeah, because we all know that when one freshman QB (who is a redshirt freshman, btw) has an outstanding year, that means that all true freshman QBs should be measured to that standard and sent to their rightful place in Division 3 if they don't produce immediate dividends.

Hell, he probably isn't a VFL either. You see that kid yesterday? He didn't talk to the fans, and then he punted a baby that was wrapped in an orange blanket.

somebody did catch the blanket ? :blink:

i don't know,his record doesn't look to shabby

"He started 44 of 47 games at the quarterback position in his career and had a 14-1 record on the road with a 34-10 record overall. He played from 2000–2003 and led Tennessee to the SEC East Division title in 2001"

Exactly. How is starting freshman going to help. High school ball is totally different than sec ball. Coach needs to change his thinking and belittling. All show and no action!

You do realize our other QBs have been injured, right?

This kid does have leadership skills. If you will remember, or maybe you didn't even know, he went into an offensive line meeting and told the coach he wanted to talk to the team the week before the Missouri game (I think that was the game). He told them that he had confidence in them, and everyone was talking about how rare, and exciting to see a freshman doing something like that. Give this kid a freaking break. I hope you are not insinuating that we lost the game because of him, because we did not. I have met this kid, and talked to him a little bit, and he is one of the most respectful and nicest kids you will ever meet. Who cares how he looks at the Vol Walk. That has no indication of how good or bad they are going to do during the game.

And how well did that work out for him? Maybe he shouldn't have worried so much about impressing the OLine and maybe more time working on the playbook and completing passes.

I get he's 18 and a Freshman, honestly that's just an excuse, I remember two, count'em TWO true freshmen QBs coming and playing very well for UT. So what exactly is Dobbs' problem?

Is it confidence? Is it not knowing the receivers? Maybe his first visit should've been to the WR meeting and telling them he has confidence in them.

Also if you can't throw at least one TD in four games, then maybe you should play a different position. Shoot even Worley threw one against Oregon.

For the first time I got to be at the very front of the crown for the Vol Walk. It was great. I got to shake the players hands and basically be about a foot from all of them. Here's what I saw.

AJ- Cocky, laughing, slapping hands with everyone.

Rajion- Smiling, acknowledging the crowd

Lane- Same as Rajion

Maggit-Firing up the crowd. Talking to everyone. Telling the whole crowd Tennessee was going to take care of business.

Dobbs- Completely and utterly terrified. Looking straight forward. Hands to his side, not acknowledging the crowd.

I told everyone I was with it was a bad sign. This kid has zero confidence, zero leadership, and very little skill. He's not an SEC quarterback.

That is all.

Maybe he is shy?

so youve studied human behavior for how many years so you can tell the difference between nervous and focused just by looking at someone?

By God, if they can't win a game on the field, the least they can do is win the dang stadium entrance.

Maybe he isn't, but comparing him to Winston is all kinds of dumb. He obviously isn't Winston, and he will never be Winston. You know who else won't ever be Winston? Pretty much every freshman D1 QB in America.

I hope Dobbs is never involved in a police investigation, too.

Actually, the Freshman card is legit. There's a reason why the best teams are full of 3rd and 4th year players in the two deep. Freshman, especially 3rd string freshman quarterbacks, are not expected to contribute at a high level 4 months after arriving on campus. It amazes me the expectations that some of you guys put on these kids when 99.99% of us on VN don't even have half the athleticism of these kids.

so? why is this so important to some people? first of all you dont know everyones athleticism and second you eliminated all but about 15 people on the planet to be able to comment on or critique a qbs play. so only brady, manning, marino, etc should be allowed to comment???

We 150% lost because of him. That is not even close to disputable.

Didn't have anything to do with the OL allowing a 2 yard loss on 3rd & 1 that would have essentially iced the game?

Or not covering their best offensive threat with under a minute to go?

Or for the second game in a row, allowing a QB to prance, unmolested, into the endzone?

Please explain the game of football because after this claim, it's clear I have misunderstood the whole thing.

You left out an unnecessary block in the back that negated that terrible freshman qb's td.

It's hard to say a kid is not the answer when he's a freshman, not getting any help, & HE'S ALL YOU GOT.
