AP - top qb power rating

[Fullfillmer]

Good news continues to follow our former Vol quarterbacks - top rated qbs across America include the following:

#4 Paxton Lynch - Memphis
#6 Baker Mayfield - Oklahoma
# 14 Coker - Alabama
# 23 Nate Peterman - Pittsburg

Perhaps those reports coming from practice a couple of springs ago that Peterman and Ferguson were more accurate and outperforming Josh Dobbs were accurate. I am excited and happy that Dobbs is leading our team, but I think Ferguson and Peterman were unfairly criticized because everyone wanted Dobbs at the helm. Turns out all 3 of these guys were good quarterbacks and glad to see Nate and Riley doing so well.

That's great Mrs. Peterman...

I thought folks wanted Dobbs at the helm because he was the only one people thought would keep the ball occasionally, to keep defenses honest in the read option.

I thought Peterman showed signs of a strong and fairly accurate arm here. But our line would've given Tom Brady trouble looking good.

Could be worse - I could live in Cleveland.

Agree - I thought Worley got absolutely killed.

I'm sure Dobbs would be above Peterman if he played cupcakes every week. ACC is a joke.

 

[Lefteye]

True and probably true

 

[Special Ed]

Peterman's Pittsburghers are getting their asses handed to them by UNC right now. The same UNC that lost to SC.

 

[UT-Rex]

And Matt Darr just hit a biig punt vs patriots.

 

[montanatenn]

Watching NP right now. Not really lighting North Carolina up.

 

[midtnvol2]

Congrats to Nathan, I hope he ends his career on a good note in Pittsburgh.

 

[Titans4Vols]

Coker the 14th best QB in the country?

lol

Kind of hard to make fun of NC at 6-1 while we are sitting at 3-4.

We would be 7-0 with their schedule

 

[Fullfillmer]

We would be 7-0 with their schedule

I agree - but being a starting qb for any d1 program is saying something - I also feared he might be scarred for life after that Florida game. Good comeback / resiliency story.

 

[VFL-82-JP]

Nate doesn't look world-beating, but he doesn't look bad tonight. Glad he found a pond of the right size for himself.

 

[vol1981]

We would be 7-0 with their schedule

Careful, you're going to wear that line out.

 

[Dragon18]

If you've been watching the game tonight you should feel comfortable that we have the right guy taking snaps for the Vols. Peterman is just like I remember him here. Those balls he throws are picks against SEC speed. They just take too long to reach the receiver.

Agreed. 100% agreed. Again, glad he found a pond of the right size for him.

Me too JP. I'm happy he's found a good spot. Seems like a good kid.

Pitt is around their average total offense tonight..this should keep them in the middle nineties in total offense ..they also haven't beaten any team with a winning record and ACC is 3-15 vs top 25 teams this year...Dobbs was right choice

 

[Fullfillmer]

Pitt is overachieving - no receivers and the entire staff has turned over every year for the last few years. It is amazing they have done as well as they have.

The acc coastal is just awful. NC or Duke will likely win that division.

Tyler Boyd from Pitt is an outstanding WR, one of the top WRs in the country. I remember the staff wanting him badly in 2013, got Paul Harris instead.....Pitt definitely got the better of that deal.

Peterman was not cut out for this offense. I'm not sure Russell Wilson is either.

Agree - I thought Worley got absolutely killed.

Worley was throwing some pretty good balls conserding he was getting knocked on his but half the time. I was really impressed with Worley in the GA game. He showed a lot of heart to come back in after he got throttled! He just about threw us into a W between the Hedges.
