I'll Want to Fire the Entire Coaching Staff if We...

[WiseOlVol]

So you’d be upset if they got a Trevor Lawrence type of qb to commit? Think before you type

Lawrence ran well. You should watch football.

 

[WiseOlVol]

Well to be fair……….shouldn’t it depend more on system being used?

I mean really Hooker is a pretty good runner. If Tennessee was using more of a pro style or something different …..sure maybe you want someone who can move………but do they “need” to move like Hooker?

We haven't had that kind of talent since Casey Clausen was here. It's rare (unless you're Alabama).

...ever recruit another QB that doesn't run at least as well as Hooker.

A flat-footed QB gives the D an extra defender.

Simple math.

Fans like you should hang out with Alec Baldwin.

 

[WiseOlVol]

& OP would be good with JG as a recruit. He came out as the #1 or 2 dual-threat QB. So yes he didn't think this out.

JG was not Dual. Badly mislabeled. Did our recruiters put him on a stop watch? Obviously not.

 

[WiseOlVol]

Duel threat is the answer. We have had our fair share of no threat QBs.

That's my point. It's uncomplicated. Uncontroversial.

There are tons of dual threat QBs out there. We need 4 of them at all times.

 

[WiseOlVol]

Fans like you should hang out with Alec Baldwin.

Really? Explain.

 

[WiseOlVol]

Peyton Manning says hi

Let me know when you find another one that UT can get.

 

[WiseOlVol]

what happens when they knock ever loving **** out of your qb and put him the hospital? In the future you will only have two qb's, and one will probably be a lower classman, or frosh. You feel this way because you haven't had an oline since 2007. Get yourself an oline, and it's a different game. You need about a bakers dozen of olinemen.

We're not getting that any time soon. Last year we had 4 5* on the Oline. 3-7.

Heupel wasn’t the coach of those no threat QBs

 

[WiseOlVol]

The special teams coach and defensive coordinator will feel the wrath of OP if UT recruits another Peyton Manning or Casey Clausen.

Ancient history. Vols have lost too many games bc of its flat-footed QBs.

 

[WiseOlVol]

It’s simple. If you have great talent and depth at every offensive position, you don’t need a mobile QB. If you lack great talent and depth, especially on the line, you better have a QB that can get first downs with his legs.

Thank you. A brilliant comment offered by an observant fan.

No it’s not that simple. It depends on the team you have and the system you run. Your assumption that this offense cannot be successful without a DT QB is flawed and ridiculous. All we need is a QB with a high football IQ. One that is accurate, can read defenses and knows when to scramble.

Using your scenario, we would never have recruited a Mack Jones, Kyle Trask, Peyton Manning, AJ McCarron, Carson Palmer, Sam Bradford, Drew Lock.

No we haven’t

 

[WiseOlVol]

Tom Brady and Matt Jones both say, "hi" Both have the speed of your usual clubfoot and one is wearing the most recent version of NFL Superbowl ring and the other is wearing the most recent version of NCAA National Champioship ring respectively.

Brady plays behind an NFL OLine and is on PEDs for at least 10 years. Jones played behind an NFL OLine too. Let me know when our OLine is that good and deep (and I'll still tell you to get fast QBs).

Did any of those QBs play behind an average OLine and with a bad Defense?

On Manning, remember Steve Spurrier's line: Peyton Manning might be a great QB, but he can't throw the ball when he's flat on his back.

 

[WiseOlVol]

I'll talk with the athletic department and make sure they have recruits come to your tryouts.

What a stupid statement by OP.

How about we have our recruiters take a stop watch to HS practice? Would that offend you?

 

[WiseOlVol]

I'm not real sure their are any "flat-footed" elite QBs out there anymore.
The high majority of elite QBs can move around enough to not be a statue.

Not really sure the topic is applicable.

Harrison Bailey?

We don’t have a bad defense. Also, your assumptions are that we will always have an average OL. Hence why your arguments here are ridiculous.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Harrison Bailey?

How is Bailey elite?

 

[WiseOlVol]

Well, good for you.

Bailey is leaving. However, had Bailey clearly been the best ball distributor and operator of the O... then he could have been GREATLY successful in this O.

There are different ways for QB's to be effective. Mobility definitely helps. Brice Young doesn't run often. His "greatness" is solely based on his arm talent and ball distribution.

Did you watch the Alabama game? He ran all over us.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Brady plays behind an NFL OLine and is on PEDs for at least 10 years. Jones played behind an NFL OLine too. Let me know when our OLine is that good and deep (and I'll still tell you to get fast QBs).

Name the fast QBs that have won NCs in the past 25 years in CF.

Let us know when we have an Alabama-quality OLine. Until then, I'm for winning games.

if you watched the Cardinals and Packers last night, you see where the pro game is headed and the Cardinals are leading the way. They are running a good college offense! The time for the "PRO" drop back passer is coming to an end! Although the Cardinals lost on a last second mistake, they are the team to be watching as they take their place at the top of the heap! The new QB normal will be if you can't run you can't play!

Uh, bro calm down, the Cardinals lost that game.

National Championships? We can't even get into a decent bowl. Lost to Kentucky!

 

[WiseOlVol]

What about someone like Peyton or Tom? the best ever?

As Spurrier said, Manning can't beat us with his arm when he's flat on his back.
