Rumor is Tenn starting QB quit today

[57stratdawg]

Not good if true, Butch

The backup was the #1 dual threat guy in the country coming out of HS. He gets to start against USCe and Bama...good luck kid

Watched some SEC Inside the other day with Butch Jones....he is not a great motivator. I would be embarrassed if I was a TENN fan.

This is a guy who talks about getting "mental reps" and "any rep is a good rep." No it's not Butch. If the reps are bad, they aren't good reps.

He seems to be in the "everybody gets a trophy crowd."

I was wrong on him when he came to Tenn. I thought he was from the same cloth as Mullen, Frank Martin, Saban, Leach, etc. The type of guys who are so competitive and determined to win, they will win at whatever they do. Boy was I wrong.

And if you're only 16, you don't even have a rep yet.

Per 247:

[FONT=proxima_nova_rgregular]Redshirt freshman [/FONT][FONT=proxima_nova_ltsemibold]Jarrett Guarantano[/FONT][FONT=proxima_nova_rgregular] is expected to make his first career start Saturday against South Carolina, and previous starter [/FONT][FONT=proxima_nova_ltsemibold]Quinten Dormady[/FONT][FONT=proxima_nova_rgregular] is considering his future with the program, multiple sources told GoVols247 on Tuesday morning and Tuesday afternoon. That was the plan as of Tuesday afternoon, anyway.[/FONT]

Sounds like Butch named the FR as the starter for Saturday and Dormandy isn't too happy about it.

I don’t think those two QBs get along. From what I’ve seen and heard, it wasn’t a friendly competition.

Play better then douche. Tenn probably better off telling the guy to quit than causing problems with the team

Yep. Sounds like he's already been a problem. If you're going to have an attitude, you'd damn sure better produce on the field.

Dormady has out performed Guarantano so far this season. The reason the umass game was close was because Dormady built a lead. Guarantano came in and did nothing most of the game. Dormady came back in and closed the game out.

In one of the earlier games Herbstriet spent some time pointing out Guarantano pouting on the sideline. It is a case of Butch being indecisive and allowing a QB debate to dictate the starter.

According to the kid with no eye brows who played QB for Tenn last year he didn’t have a QB coach while he played at UT.

In dormady’s 2 sec (Florida and Georgia) games, here’s his stats...

32/62 339 yds 5.5 yds/att 1 td 5 int

Maybe he has played better than the freshman, but he hasn’t been good.

That's how Memphis got their QB. One Jones ran off

 

[TheStateUofMS]

Is he a player?*

Must have been struggling with those “leadership reps”.

Jones has said repeatedly this season that quarterbacks are a byproduct of the players around them, and Tennessee redshirt senior receiver Josh Smith said Tuesday the blame for the team's offensive struggles doesn not fall on the quarterbacks.
"It takes timing, spacing, our routes," Smith said. "Some of the receivers are not doing their jobs. There's blame in everything. But if one guy doesn't do their job, it just messes up the play. But it shouldn't just be focused on the quarterback like that. It's ridiculous."
Tennessee lost leading returning receiver Jauan Jennings to injury in the season opener, and the passing game has struggled while relying on a group of young receivers in the Vols' first two conference games. Running back John Kelly leads the team with 22 receptions, and sophomore Brandon Johnson is the only wide receiver with more than eight catches (18).
Smith said people want to blame Scott or Dormady without knowing "the meaning" of a play.
"Ya'll just see the quarterback, 'oh well he's about to throw it.' They don't see the receiver who has to run a 15-yard dig and he's running a 12-yard dig or vice versa," Smith said. "You've got to put it in that perspective. Our plays don't just revolve around Quinten."
