Those guys were all taking first or second string reps from their very first practice. Dobbs was taking 4th string reps (aka 3 or 4 live scrimmage reps per practice) for more than half the season. Unfair to compare. Based on physical ability, I think he could be a good QB. He has a good arm and good speed/elusiveness. His brain wasn't ready for the SEC, and his accuracy definitely needs some honing. Definitely was the QB in most need of a redshirt for development purposes.
Just wasn't in the cards. If he wins the QB battle (which I doubt he will), it will not necessarily spell disaster for us. Sometimes it just takes a little while for it all to click.

I agree with all of this.

You think they want to rank Bama as anything but #1?

I checked the Rivals site, thinking the composite score is the only thing keeping them ahead right now

You get bonus points for things. They have more 6.0 four stars than us, etc. Also 1more five star. The bonuses put Bama ahead. Out of the top 20 players that count, we have 16 four stars, 2 fives, and two 5.7 three stars. No way this isn't top 3-4 by signing day. That's assuming we don't lose a few 4*'s.

It is unhealthy how much I want Adoree.
It is amazing to me that Butch and the staff got Malone on board considering the trash we have had at quarterback the past few games. Miracle workers, I tell you.

Best recruiters in college football. I honestly think we get Adoree.

I know <sigh> Just hate seeing Bama #1 in everything...except the BCS poll lol

I figure we'll lose a few of the commits to a smooth talking recruiter from another school. It always happens, but I'm not sweating it since we can do the same to others. Shouldn't pop us down too much.

But I'll take a top 10 class no matter what. Considering how we've dwindled down the past couple of years, it's time to get back into the fight. And hoping these recruits make an impact from the start.

There are some commits we can NOT afford to lose IMO. Lambert and Blair for example. If somebody pulls a commit from us Butch REALLY wants, it will be because they did some serious work.

I don't think we can lose any of them myself. But that's me being selfish lol

I may be proven wrong, but I really think if any were going to bail they already would have. After each loss, I held my breath waiting for the mass exodus to happen. Instead we kept getting new commits. Mind boggling.

Butch can sell, no matter what.

This is one of the reasons he gets a partial pass this year for field performance. Dooley could recruit okay players, but just couldn't make them perform on the field.

History has shown that Butch can though and even the players he leaves behind are doing great. Look at Cincy this year. Those are mostly his players he recruited so he knows talent.

Yes it is. I despise Urban. It makes me happy to see him get his wittle dweams squashed.

I think it's more fitting that the Big 10 finally gets to see their weak strength of schedule coming due. And with their first half performance on both teams last night, they would have been slaughtered in the first half by Auburn.

I'm still on the fence about FSU and how good they might be.

I can live with Auburn vs FSU. I expect Auburn to run the Noles out of the house like they have everyone else.

After seeing FSU put the brakes on Clemson earlier this year, I think they might be just good enough on Defense to slow Aubbie down a little. There is no way the barn is stopping Winston the Great. I see FSU winning by 2 TDs unless the Plainstigerwareaglemen continue their freaky luck streak, and a bunch of freaky weird stuff happens. FSU is an SEC team in a weak arse conference.

Hmmm, wouldn't quite go that far. I mean, without Winston, you think they would be running over teams like they are?

You take a great QB off any team and they are going to suffer. FSU is a really good and very talented team, who draws their players from the same region as the SEC. They are for real, and they will win this game IMO. :hi:

Great post. My dad is a huge FSU fan, and I like them because of my dad, so I keep up with them. They have great team speed. Auburn will NOT make them look like a *****.
