Kiffins eval of Boyd looks ludicrous at this point. Boyd is putting up spectacular numbers at Clemson and against quality opponents in Auburn and FSU. I like Bray, but until he get's that signature win he is considered good, but not great. :shades:

Auburn isn't a signature win for anybody except maybe a Vandy or UK qb

God love Terry Fair who was a great Vol and a pretty good NFL player. During a televised game last yr, he said that Mobley was a legit D-1 player. But I'm sure as you said, the "East Tenn scouts" don't know everything. But I'm thinking Terry Fair knows more than both me and you.

Boyd winning against AU is about equivalent to Bray's wins over UK and Cincy.

Regardless Auburn was ranked going into Death Valley. Clemson then turned around and beat FSU. Whatever spin you want to put on it when you beat 2 ranked teams at the time you play them is considered a quality win. Point is that Tajh Boyd is playing phenomenal, Tyler Bray is playing good. I believe both will be playing on Sundays down the road, but at this point there is a difference. :shades:

They don't want to hear that Sly !!! Sure there is a difference. Anytime you have a double threat qb over a single threat qb it makes a difference. I don't care if it is Peyton Manning. Yeah, in lots of ways I thought T Martin's running the ball is what helped us beat Florida and win the NC ! No question.

Watched him play last night. Mobley is a man among boys out there. He didn't even look tired. Will that translate to college success? Idk. But he did look impressive.

so do you think tee martin is a better qb than manning because he beat florida and can run?

Why does it have to be about who's the better QB? Manning is definitely better than Tee, but Vick is definitely better than a lot of pocket passers. It's really a matter of preference. Some people like the added dynamic of mobility but that doesn't mean they think pocket passers are lesser QBs

Well I'll be at all the rest of his games this year, so he'll have plenty of opportunity to test his ability

i agree. but his argument was boyd is better than bray because his team had a bigger win and he can run. and as you said that does not always make the qb better.

Dy'shawn Mobley 6' 210 lbs, Powell High School, Powell, TN.

Anyone have a clue why Tennessee isn't looking at this kid? He's already rushed for 1143 yards in 6 games and has 19 TD! He only played in the first half of the game against Anderson County last week and had 192 yards on 10 carries and scored 6 TDs! He's got break away speed with runs of 30 yards or more in just about every game. These are not slouch teams Powell is playing against either. This is against the likes of Oak Ridge, Anderson County, Rhea County and Austin East.

He has and offer from Toledo and Kentucky and Miss State are looking at him as well.

Rhea county is a joke haha

Rudy Stinson was an incredible athlete. Powell HS has had several very good players including Daryle Smith and his son Lee Smith who is currently in the NFL (Buffalo I think) and John Bruin come to mind.

Lee lives across the street and 2 houses down from me. Good dude.

There are 120+ D-1 schools, so it's very realistic that he may be a "legit D-1 player", but not at UT, nor any other top-shelf SEC program. Sorry, its just the truth. There is a reason Toledo is the only D-1 offer he has.

I knew you would come back with some ridiculous come back. You obviously were not watching the game. Fair wasn't insinuating that he was Toledo bound. He felt the boy was LEGIT.

Yea, They also (Kiffin) told Boyd, qb for Clemson, he was not good enough to play to Tennessee also. He is one of the best quarterbacks in all of college football today. Wonder how many stars we have lost because "they were not good enough to play for Tennessee" ? As a life long Vol fan it doesn't appear that you have to be too good.

Kiffin didn't say Boyd wasn't good enough. He said he didn't fit his system. Two different things.

I just cannot understand why a head coach would want a pro style qb that cannot run and chew gum at the same time. I would want a qb that could do it all like, Boyd.

So you would trade Bray for Boyd right now??? Really? Like UTC said, being able to do both doesn't make you a better player.

Tennessee was ranked #3 going unto the 2005 season. Big deal. They finished with a losing record. Rankings in September mean nothing. You think anyone was impressed by a win over that Tennessee team at the end of the year? Auburn is just not very good and FSU played without their starting QB. Clemson is a good team, but let's not sensationalize what they have done thus far. It's not as if they beat Auburn of last year or FSU at full strength, so let's put it in perspective.

If your evaluation of Bray thus far is that he is merely playing "good", then I will respectfully assume you are either biased or difficult to impress. He is either 1st or 2nd in the SEC in almost every category despite having played 3 games. How is that only playing good? Projecting his stats over the same number of games as Boyd, he has more yards, better completion %, and the same number of TD's.

Finally, I have serious doubts as to Boyd playing in the NFL as a QB. 6' tall QB's are rare in the league. Not impossible, but the odds are stacked against him because of his size. If he had Bray's size, I could see it.

And I should have known you would completely miss the point. Saying he is a legit D-1 player is pretty freaking vague. I'm not putting words in Fair's mouth. I'm just pointing out that his opinion is open to interpretation. Your interpretation of what he said was that he could, and should play D-1 ball at a BCS level school like UT. I disagree with that notion. Now that I know that you live in the Powell school district, it does draw your objectivity into question.

Who gives a sh!t about how long they make it in the NFL? All I care about is winning at UT. Making millions on Sunday does not always equate to victories on Saturdays. Boyd's a heck of a quarterback. Better than Bray? Not likely, but at that specific point in time, Bray wasn't our top QB target. He was in a different class.

Btw, 99% of the posters here were gushing over Jake Heaps the year we ended up with Bray.

:blink: Were you sober when you posted this? I never addressed "how long" either would make it in the NFL. The NFL comment was in response to whomever stated that both would play in the NFL, and it had everything to do with whether or not he would pan out in the NFL, not how long either would last. Not sure why you quoted my post and bolded that portion of it as a reference to your point.
