Title: So... I guess we'll probably stay with QD?
Post by: VinnieVOL on September 17, 2017, 01:42:39 EDT
What's people thinking about that situation?

I think JG's athleticism would be lethal with Kelly and Chandler.

Honestly don't even care at this point.  Bring on Adrian Martinez (under a new coaching staff) as far as I'm concerned.

Maybe I'll feel different after sleeping on it.  But probably not.

I think he seems slightly above average.  Decent arm and accuracy, not very athletic, has made some awful decisions.  Inexperienced QBs will though.

I believe G will get a lot of looks against ZooMass.  After that, who knows.

Likely we stick with QD at least through bammer game.  But IDK....

Until today I thought Dormady was the clear-cut starter. I just don't know now. Way too many back-foot throws, way too many passes thrown behind his receivers. I think you put Guarantano in there for meaningful series and see if he can grow into the offense. Dormady had some nice moments late. The TD pass to Wolfe was beautiful. Overall, though, he didn't play well enough to win today.

that's just it, he has his "moments" but the overall game is not good.
He is no threat as a runner
As I noted in game at the slightest hint of pressure his mechanics go to hell
He forces the ball too much but unlike, say Ainge he doesn't have the accuracy to pull it off.

In his defense, the WR have been inconsistent as hell

On balance I'd like to see more of #2 going forward

Not in any way trying to trash QD. He is a Vol, and I'm sure he's doing his best to win games, but why did we recruit QD?  He's obviously not built for the offensive scheme that we employ. His skill set simply doesn't mesh with Butch's offense.

IIRC, we had a commitment from another more highly rated QB in that class (can't remember his name, he was from Indy) but he decommitted fairly late and we had to scramble.

We arent running the offense the same way this year. They have adapted to QD and it seems to have worked...late in the game anyway.

3 picks. The first and goal fade could easily have been a 99 yd pick 6. Decision making is quite poor. Open up the QB battle. A mobile qb does things for you in games that you can't see in practice.
