True Freshman Vol QBs: Where does Dobbs' First Start Stack Up?

[jvol1982]

I thought it would be interesting to look at how all the true freshmen have faired in their first outings over the years. Dobbs did well in that comparison considering the quality of the opponent. Also, the fact that he was able to get yards running the ball is not reflected in this QBR calculation. To me, he looks ahead of the curve. Can't wait to see what he does in the last few games!

In order of QBR:

1) Brent Schaeffer vs. UNLV (9/5/2004) Win 42-17
QBR 206.32
7-10-123 yards, 1 TD, 0 INT

2) Tyler Bray at Memphis (11/6/2010) Win 50-14
QBR 190.3
19-33-325 yards, 5 TD, 0 INT

3) Casey Clausen vs. Alabama (10/21/2000) Win 20-10
QBR 172.88
17-24-213 yards, 2 TD, 0 INT

4) Joshua Dobbs at Mizzou (11/2/2013) Lost 3-31
QBR 100.38
26-42-240 yards, 0 TD, 2TD

5) Peyton Manning vs. Wash State (10/1/1994) Win 10-9
QBR 97.4
7-14-79 yards, 0 TD, 0 INT

6) Alan Cockrell vs. Colorado State (9/19/1981) Win 42-0
QBR 80.11
7-14-74 yards, 0 TD, 1 INT

7) Erik Ainge vs. Auburn (10/2/2004) Lost 10-34
QBR 76.66
17-35-173 yards, 1 TD, 4 INT

8) Justin Worley vs. South Carolina (10/29/2011) Lost 3-14
QBR 57
10-26-105 yards, 0 TD, 2 INT

I noticed that you credited Dobbs with two touchdowns.....I must have missed that part of the game.

By qbr he's #4...not bad at all.

Big difference is if you group the winning and loosing qb's together.

Pretty sure there are no loosing QB's in that list.

:good!:I was there when Peyton started, after the game I thought he might be over rated, but we see how that turned out lets give the kid a chance before we start giving him a rating, but if I was putting money on him for the long term, I would not be scared of losing so long term DOBBS is the man.:thumbsup:The TIGERS are a lot better than people are giving them credit for the only game they lost was after been up by 17 in the fourth quarter lets look at him after the vandy or Kentucky game what this week another top 10 team, what does people expect.

I too thought Peyton was just a kid riding his dads coat tails. I remember that game ...the coaches would not let him throw a pass ...just kept pounding the rock . I was scared for the program

Jokes on me

We need a ban on people calling bama O bama. The other infantile names need to go too. UGA , Kensucky, Candy. How old are you ? 8?

You forgot Gator, barn, and USCjr.

True.

I was just talking about the ones who lost their first game.

He did throw two TDs, receivers just dropped them. :banghead2:

Oh, well. Fixed my post to echo reality.

Better question is...How many starting QBs won against ranked opponents? Now the list gets very small!
