QB competition..

haven't you been to lexington, kentucky? that place is like the bermuda triangle for common sense and logic.... anyone with half a brain disappears. thats why all UK fans end up going to University of Louisville for school.
 
Dobbs is a sophmore, Ferguson is a RS Freshman, and Peterman is a RS Soph. Never said they are not allowed to improve I hope they do. But if you think they are ready to be good enough to be one of the best in the SEC you are wrong. You should not want anything but the best because this school used to be the best. None of those guys are true freshman and even if they were they do not compare to Manning, Clausen, Ainge or even Bray in their true freshman years.

Seriously, Ainge and Bray thrown in with Manning?

Only Ainge had to face the meat of the schedule in his first starts, as Dobbs did last year. Actually, none of the above had to face as tough a plate as our multiple qbs did a year ago.

same thing i was thinking

hey, nothing means nothing
smh.....but i'm wrong according to some
 
Hey dudes...I've got faith that Butch can do this. No need to stress about it.

Your faith... can't relieve anyone's stress...:)

That said... It is a game. We're just fans.

I argue here mostly because it provides a release for me on something that is intensely interesting... but in the grand scale of my own life and most of your lives... isn't terribly important.

I enjoy debating and arguing. Some people like to be challenged in other ways. Some people like to build furniture, play guitar, or the Lion's Club. Being a fan and arguing football works for me.

Anybody think Ferguson's skill will improve greatly by August?

His skill isn't in question. It's his decision-making and poise.

And no, for the guys who have already written him off and evidently hope the kid never plays a down at UT, the answer is no.

Coincidently it always seems to be the same people that think Dobbs is the current Heisman front runner.
 
I ask a fair, unbiased question and I still get sarcasm. :)

Do you think his "decision making and poise" will improve KB?

Learning to read defenses will improve decision making and poise. I don't think that will be vastly improved by August. He's got to get in the film room and stay there all summer.

Tee Nartin? I see you posted on 4/20. Coincidence? :crazy:

Honestly not trying to be sarcastic.

He's a redshirt freshman who's never played in a college game. I have no reason to believe he won't improve in those areas over time with good coaching and experience. Question is when is gonna get the experience? Doesn't look like it'll be this year unless he plays due to injury. Guess he can improve over the summer but not to the point that he's named the starter by Aug 31 IMO.

Seeing that it looks like Worley will likely be starter, do you see any of the other QB's looking to transfer?
