IMO Worley played great ubder pressure until the Florida game. IDK what's wrong with him but he's just trying to do to much (holding the ball longer than usual) andd making bad decisions. Perhaps his fatigue has affected his throws? I know Malone had a step on that early pick but it was simply underthrown. I feel bad for the guy.I don't think he specified a replacement. He's just saying that something has to give. Worley can't play under pressure, somebody who can move around and make something happen in a bad situation gives u a better chance to come up with a positive play. I think either of the two backups we have do a better job of this than Worley.
Could be. I wouldnt hesitate in that case. Id rather see where he is going into next year.

The best I remember Bray was not injured and Dooley still put Worley in for the last series of a game against Bama that was out of hand and let him hand it off three times.
Peterman has bad luck and Dobbs was horrible last year... Not sure why you think because they can scramble better we have a better shot at winning? Worley made some awesome throws up until his undoing vs Florida.It's ok to support Worley. Worley is a vol, and for that I am grateful. But the fact remains that Worley is not a great quarterback, and let's face it... WE WANNA WIN!
Nobody gives a damn about us getting a good star or moral victory. I want the qb playing who gives us a best chance to win. You know, a guy who can not stare down receivers, a guy who can sense when the pocket is collapsing, a guy who can scramble for 4-5 yds when he needs to.
They say doing the same thing over and over an expecting different results is insanity, so why doesn't Worley make an attempt to change the mistakes he's made all season that EVERYONE sees as well?
It's all good that he tries hard, but the results aren't there and here recently he has just made some really stupid decisions.
Ftr, I don't hate Worley as a person. I don't hate Worley as a football player. I don't hate Worley as a vol. I just want a better qb. I WANNA WIN!

Bray injured his hand in the 5th game of the season Oct.8, 2011 against Georgia in a 20-12 loss. The Alabama game was 2 weeks later. Bray missed the games against LSU, Alabama, S.C., MTSU, and Ark. Wouldn't you think that it would be a good idea for Dooley to "burn Worley's redshirt," and give him a few snaps, since his only other qb at the time was Matt Simms, and Bray was going to miss 5 to 7 games ???The best I remember Bray was not injured and Dooley still put Worley in for the last series of a game against Bama that was out of hand and let him hand it off three times.
I don't feel bad for him. A lot, not all, of his shortcomings are self induced. You don't keep playing a struggling qb out of sympathy.
Worley is not the kind that can do everything, but let's cut him a little slack. I heard today that Saturday is the tenth game versus a a top 10 team in Butch's first 20 games.
I dont care if he burns the redshirt, but hes not any better than Peterman. At this point in time.
Who played better last year? How about comparing their first starts?
Peterman @ Florida... 4-11, 5 yds, 0tds, 2 ints, "1" fumble, 3 carries, -3 yds
Dobbs @ Mizzou... 26-42, 240 yds, 0tds, 2 ints, 1 fumble, 7 carries, 45 yds
