Could you really not tell that he is much better than Worley?

Thought the same as well. He ripped of a 30 yard run that was called back because of a holding penalty. Not downing Worley in any way, but does he have 30 yards rushing total for the year?

No, at this point Worley is better. I see Dobbs has a tremendous amount of talent and could develop into an outstanding QB. He showed a weak arm and inmaturity last night. He is an extremely smart kid, he will learn from the mistakes he made last night.

A weak arm? I'm sorry. We must've been watching different games. His throws were anything but weak and often made on the run. He made some poor choices at times (as does Worley), but he also made some gorgeous throws and big run that were often nullified by drops and holding penalties. It's not even close. Dobbs >>Worley

You ask the question. Answer is because they are idiot, self serving, low IQ football dreamers. Dobbs played great yesterday. He will grow and be better.

Anybody that thinks different is not very bright.

can't believe there is a debate about Dobbs skillset vs Worley. Not even comparable in any fashion. Dobbs has a better motion, better release, quicker release, throws a more accurate intermediate pass, throws a better deep ball, scrambles better and runs better. The staff has even said their playbook and options are more open because of his skills.
Accuracy and being a true freshman in a new system held him back. He still needs work of course, especially on touch passes and short passes, which is normal for a young qb.
Can't understand how someone would want to see Worley again after yesterday.

People are down on Dobbs bc they clearly have already forgotten how miserable, incompetent, and hopeless we were with Worley.

My good man, the folks who are down on Dobbs with morbid rapidity, belong to that too numerous faction of Vols fans who are ass jacks. They use their heads to jack up their azzes and little else. Certainly not for rational thought. Research and experience shows this condition is impossible to cure because it has a genetic foundation. Even genetic engineering only results in the condition multiplying for some unknown reason. My personal theory is that species Homo Australopithecus did not fully die out but adapted in cosmetic appearance to fit in visually with homo sapiens sapiens but not mentally. A number of which exist on the board. However, no direct or official research has been done to verify or refute my theory.

I, for one, am proud of Dobbs. He was pressed into service on the road against Alabama, and had to follow it up on the road against a motivated Missouri squad. Did he make a few mistakes? Sure, but that was to be expected. However, I also noticed he kept his poise throughout the game. I believe he had 2 INTs, and one of them was as his arm was being hit. It's not unusual for the most seasoned pro QB to get that pass picked off. He had a few off target passes, but I am not sure how many was on Dobbs, and how many were bad routes. With his inexperience, he needed the rest of the team to rally around him, and they fell short.

I saw two things that were glaring last night:

1. Lack of discipline. Way too many false starts. It was like one just led to another. Almost like the upperclassmen were hearing Dooley's voice in their heads. Blown coverages in the secondary. Blown gap assignments by the DL and backers. Dropped passes, most noticeable the Smith drop that forced a field goal.

2. Need for speed. Missouri seemed to have linemen that were faster than some of our skilled position players. Receivers got past coverages way too easily, and the front seven was too slow to close the gap against Mauk. This is why everyone in the recruiting forums is looking at 40 times at every position.

As for Dobbs, I see lots of potential in him. If he stays healthy, he will get it going. It is just a matter of him finding his groove, and leading the rest of the offense to it.

Dobbs played a great game yesterday for his first start. It's not his fault josh smith can't catch the damn ball. It's not his fault the D doesn't know how to rap up and is slow as molasses. It's not his fault the O-line got no push yesterday and we couldn't run the ball. Dobbs had the most completions by a UT freshman in his 1st start, and you got people in here saying "you now know why he didn't start". Man I wasn't even on the Dobbs bandwagon till last night. He was the only one that came to play. If anyone is dissing Dobbs and blaming the loss on Dobbs you're an idiot.

The first int Dobbs pass was under thrown, he was under pressure on that one. The deep ball he threw for the int was way under thrown. To me he has a weird throwing motion. I stated that to my wife in first quarter last night. I am not knocking Dobbs. I see a tremendous amount of talent and think he could develope into a very good qb. He is a freshman and not an early enrollee on top of that. He has worked very little with the team because of that. He made freshman mistakes that he can correct.

I see no problem with Workey's arm strenght or his throwing motion. He has an accuracy problem. Dobbs problems will be much easier for the coaching staff to correct.

I respectfully disagree. First INT was underthrown because his arm was hit. The 2nd was overthrown and he forced it. No knock on Worley but Dobbs' arm is stronger without question.

Dobbs was a big improvement over Worley last night. No he is not the next greatest college QB to come down the pike but he is way better than Worley. His up side is a better arm and better legs than Worley. One of his down falls last night was not running the ball enough. He was all positive yards when he used his feet. We were not suppose to beat Mizzouri so nothing changed there. You need a defense to win road games against good teams and we have none. Our defense has a habit of making 2nd team QB look like all stars.

Got to give him more than one game to form an opinion. He played ok last night didn't get much help from WR's or Offensive line. We had several good drives going that were either killed by penalties or an Offensive line that was couldn't block anybody.

Its funny that the Worley haters blame him when a receiver drops a pass or runs wrong route, but blame the receiver when it happens to Dobbs...those that are anointing him the be it all future are the idiots...we have yet to see Ferguson who was ahead on depth chart until he got hurt n practice...now when Ferguson gets a chance THEN we ALL can make a decision, an INFORMED decision on who will be our QB of the future

When receivers dropped balls on Worley it was usually because they throw was offline. Dobbs seems to be more accurate than Worley has been.

Haha again, more defending Dobbs while blaming Worley for same thing

if you can't tell who has the better skill right now, pick up another sport because your eyes don't understand this one. Dobbs has thrown as many good passes and hit as many receivers in the numbers in 2 games on the road against the best team and another top 10 team as a true freshman with an OL getting shoved around than Worley threw this year prior to his injury. He also surpassed his rushing total for the year.

I'm certainly not annointing him 'The Future", the only argument I, and most of the Dobbs apologists on here are making, is that Dobbs is plain and simple a better QB than Worley. We're not "Worley hating", we're saying Dobbs is better. How is that so hard to understand?

I bet it is none of the current QBs on the roster.
