I love off season threads!

In light of the new information posed here, I must ask about the "athletic as all get out" line. What exactly is the OP talking about? His best 40 time is 4.94. Even Crompton ran a 4.8.

Huh?

Both Rivals and Scout rate Dobbs, who runs a reported 4.7 in the 40-yard dash, as a 3-star prospect. ESPN lists him as the nation's No. 18 dual-threat quarterback.

Although he's listed as a pro-style quarterback, Dobbs can still move, as he's been clocked at 4.7 seconds in the 40-yard dash.

No one has still explained how being offered by Ivy League schools equals success in the SEC. The argument doesn't make sense. Help me someone.

My guess is that they think that you have to be intelligent to get in an Ivy League school. Also, they equate intelligence with ability to play the QB position. Therefore, they conclude that a smart qb equals a good qb. I don't necessarily think that follows.

Furthermore, I don't necessarily think that everyone who attends an Ivy League school is that brilliant. I have an ex-wife with a Master's from one of, if not the best Ivy League schools, and I was around her classmates for a couple of years, and around her for much longer. It is a deeply flawed concept.

If intelligence measured success Dooley would still be here....and he was a lawyer. I'll throw in Ryan Fitzpatrick smart guy (went to Harvard) bad quarterback.

Thank you. Someone may want to explain that to Bama. Also doesn't Worley have a 4.0? So shouldn't he be saying the same thing about him. But of course the man crush runs deep with this one.

Sure the EX part hasn't affected your evaluation?

Actually, most Ivy League schools offer almost everyone a free ride due to their huge endowments. Harvard's endowment is over $30 BILLION (with a 'B') and they're required by law to give away so much every year so kids whose parents make a combined $250k a year still get a FULL RIDE and a free laptop. Kids' whose parents make more than that still get 75% of there way paid. The brightest kids in the UK, who were considering Cambridge or Oxford but chose Harvard instead, also get to fly roundtrip to the UK for free at least once a year. So if your kid is bright and can get into one of the elite Ivys, don't sweat the payments.

You've obviously done some research or have first hand knowledge...perhaps the Ivy League has modified one of its founding principles and that is aid is based on need...years ago I did graduate work there and my daughter recently did undergrad and grad work which included a residency with the athletic department here...

I do know they are making more aid available to students, probably from all concentrations, IE sports, the arts, law, you name it....and much of this based on the abundance of money in the coffers....

She wasn't stupid, and I didn't mean to insinuate that she was. Neither were her classmates. I was around people at U.T. who were just as bright. So, no I don't believe that the EX part affected my evaluation. I have been divorced from her for 30 years, and harbor no ill will. The Ivy League elite are no smarter than they think they are. Trust me on this.

A play on words from me...no intent to get into your personal life...I don't have any insight or interaction with an Ivy Leaguer myself

You guys want Dobbs to start so bad you're predicting the Simms Tyler Bray scenario. That's two different situations and Worley is not Simms. Dobbs will get broke in three pieces. The boy is skinny as a rail. Somebody needs to introduce this kid to 10 Krystals for 5.99 and a bucket of KFC with the bones.

I ate the bones...I ATE THE BONES!!
