I feel bad for Butch Jones and whoever is QB

[GLDunlap]

This fanbase is vile,smothering and the worst part extremely ignorant about football.CBJ won't have it as bad as the next QB, because he will be the player to blame for all failures. When the defense crumbles late in games, he will be to blame. When balls get dropped, he'll be accused of not reading the defense or hitting his checkdowns even if he throws to the FB alot. He will be accused of not having "Pocket Presents" and more importantly will never ever live up to the legend of Peyton the Almighty. When the losses come, CBJ won't have the benefit of a uplifting, encouraging fanbase to look forward too. Just a sad, bickering and clueless group of middle aged men who's own worth rises and falls with the W/L record. Godspeed CBJ and new QB.

I'm hoping CBJ will eventually win everyone over and actually change the culture around here. It will be a tall order but he does seem to be the type of person that can do it. Winning is the only cure all but I do think things will start to slowly get better. Most of the really bad whiners on here are casual fans that never go to games or invest in the program. It's my feeling that people who actually go to the games, the vol walk and enjoy our other game day traditions generally have more respect for the program then those that don't. It makes me laugh when they say CBJ will not win NC's here. First off they don't know that and I'm more concerned about being respectable and not having to worry about whether we can beat Vanderbilt, Kentucky etc. before I worry about that. We have won 1 NC since I've been alive and I'm 50 but these people are complaining because they don't think CBJ can win NC's.
