What's everyone's obsession with Josh Dobbs?

If Butch runs what he did at Cincy, I want a QB that is able to run. We're not gonna pick apart the SEC with that offense using QBs like Case Keenum and Graham Harrell. See Colt Brennan vs. Georgia for confirmation.
Although I do like the fact Jones is very committed to the run. Very refreshing.

Thats because an sec defense was going against an OL from the WAC and had 8 sacks lol

And graham harrell lit it up at TTU

You’re what, just out of high school in 1998? You have no idea of the predominant mentality of Vol fans over the years re: black QBs. Sterling Hinton, Holloway, Martin, Jimmy Streater, Schaeffer, Moses Collins, Robinson et al...the feeling among fans was black QBs give UT an advantage because they are superior athletes.

Guess what, they were and in many cases they are.

In 1998, this was confirmed and let me tell you straightaway, I was one of those that agreed. I predicted a NC -dare I say it - once Peyton left after seeing Tee in the closing quarter of the Nebraska-UT bowl debacle.

The only black QB in UT history that might, not was, but might have been considered less athletic was Jerry Colquitt. He lasted one game with a severe knee injury in '94 his 5th yr but at no time was there ever any excitement that this 5th year Senior was a superior athlete.

UT fans who post to this board are youngsters, UT fans who have voice, opinion and understand the history of black QBs at UT are not on this forum.

Has nothing to do with race and everything to do with reality.

Henton was replaced by Andy Kelly after the 1989 Bama debacle. The offense was a well-oiled machine for the rest of Kelly's tenure. The only black QBs that stood out over Kelly are Holloway and Robinson (who was a pocket passer). Not even Martin did.

He weighs 160....He isn't a duel threat, if he runs a LB will destroy him. Even a CB would light him up.

There's a difference between dual threat and being mobile he will be the most mobile qb we got when he gets here. If any of our qb's try to take on SEC LB's regularly they might get destroyed. If the O&W white game was a real game some of those times Peterman tried to run he would have gotten lit up.

Just because he is black doesn't mean he is a scrambler. Why can't people get that through their thick skull? He is a pocket passing QB, he is very smart, and he learned the playbook in a whole week!!!!

Zach Rogers = "possession receiver"

He is smart. He can throw on the run (which we will need after our linemen leave next year). He is our future at quarterback. Why not have a little obsession?

I've got really bad news. We're already in that neighborhood.

And neither Ainge nor Schaeffer were EEs, and were co-starters by game one with QBs on our roster with more experience than Peterman, and just as much if not more than Worley.

I definitely think he will have his head screwed on straight. I love this kids approach to studying the game and his work ethics. Hopefully one day his name can be mentioned in the same paragraph as the last "student of the game" qb we have had!

His skin color is no where near what Vicks is. All Black people don't have the same skin tone or look alike. This whole thread is dumb.

People want Dobbs because out of all QBs we have he is the biggest, fastest, smartest and most highly ranked.

Saw this posted on TOS; tidbit from Cleveland last night

"Butch was talking about the starting QB and leadership tonight and he stated something along the lines (and this is paraphrased to the best I could remember), "You know the freshman came in last week, and during a team meeting (entire team), I asked a question to the entire team and the first hand raised to answer the question was...... and that spoke volumes of the kid." in reference to Josh Dobbs

I think the actual question was, "If you have pocket presents, what would be in the box?" And Josh's answer was, "I'd pass on that, coach but instead I'll take the question and run with it." :dance:

The last NC was won with a black QB. Any other questions?
Click to expand...

That could make plays with his feet. Remember the first game of the '98 Season against Syracuse?? If Tee Martin wasn't a QB that could scramble when flushed out of the pocket, the Vols lose that game. Give me a mobile QB over a 5.2 40 yd. dash QB anyday

Not sure how people on this thread got off talking about skin color, maybe just all joking, but regardless of wether he had Vick-like skin color or not he's got it. He has just an amazing skill set and the leadership/intelligence to go along. I can't wait to see him take the field!

Blacke qbacks arenot to good with reading defences, In my opin, But there pretty good at running to buy time from sacks. Also they sometimes arenot accurate as Most white qbacks.
