I don't know too much about the kid at Notre Dame but I will say you MIGHT be right about Guarantano. As a college QB, he has a good chance to be better than Dobbs. First of all, he's more physically talented than Dobbs. He's slightly taller, slightly faster, and has a stronger arm. However, Dobbs is more elusive as a runner and for now has better passing accuracy. With that said, what made Dobbs special in my eyes was his elite intangibles in terms of leadership, work ethic, intelligence, and competitiveness. I think Guarantano will be better in college cause he should be supported by a better supporting cast than Dobbs had the last 2 years (primarily along the offensive line). However, I doubt he'll be a better pro QB than Dobbs because in the NFL intangibles matter a lot more.
My NFL comparison for Jarrett Guarantano is 2012-13 Colin Kaepernick. While my NFL comparison for Dobbs is Randall Cunningham. 2012-13 Kaepernick was awesome but prime Cunningham was better.
With that said, there is no guarantee Guarantano starts this fall for Tennessee. Tennessee has another QB (Quentin Dormady) who is older and more experienced than Guarantano and many on the staff believe he is an NFL QB as well. So seniority and not much of a difference in talent level might help Dormady get the starting nod to at least start the season. I believe its likely you see Tennessee employing a 2 QB system next season.
