Here is my opinion:
He was thrown into games as a true freshman/sophomore and looked more than competent behind a terrible O line (especially last year), and was able to move the ball with his arm and with his feet when the pocket broke down, which was often.
He has a live arm, good feet, and good pocket presence. In addition, he seems to be a high character young man who's carrying a tough class load on top of football.
My only knock on him is that he sometimes forces passes, which isn't out of the norm for young QBs. People rave about him because he has the tools and is expected to naturally progress to better decision making/more command of the offense.
I agree with everything but the pocket presence business. The Vols need to keep him healthy, at least through October. The better QB is Dormandy. That guy can be really good with a little experience and the UT receiving corp. I would rather face a duck and dance Dobbs any day.
