From Rock Hill...biased much?

I mean...yea...Worley is better than Peterman at this point but...

Based on what we saw yesterday which was probably the worst QB performance EVER in one half of football at UT, Peterman should not be taking up a valuable scholarship on this team.

I wasn't on the Peterman, Ferguson, Dobbs train. I was on the "try anything else" train. I was dead wrong. The coaching staff knew better in playing Worley up to that point. They are smart, I am stupid. Lesson learned.

Apparently the staff wasn't that smart after all. I'm still behind them 100% but I said before the game started that starting Peterman was a bad idea. I would have started Worley and brought Peterman in if he struggled. Way to go me, looks like I was right on this one, wish I hadn't been. I hope BJ didn't make that move because of fan pressure but truly because Peterman had a better week in practice. From what I've seen it wouldn't be hard to at least look better than Worley in practice.

I mean smart to have played Worley first 3 games. I honestly got the sense that he wanted to stick with Worley, so maybe it was pressure, but I hope not. I think if they stay healthy (big IF), they still win 7. I really do.

Let me see if I can explain the Worley thing. When he was really young he was asked to come in and fill in for Bray when he got hurt. He wasn't ready for it and he made a lot of mistakes. His way of fixing it was to become a "game manager" style quarterback, which basically boils down to the idea that "If I don't throw interceptions or fumble the ball then I did my job because I didn't do anything to help the opposing team win."

Generally this is a good thing but what happened in the back of his mind is that now he doesn't believe in his arm or his ability to put a football in a tight spot when he has to. The way to fix this is to come out in the South Alabama game in a 4 wide hurry up shotgun and tell him to throw the ball. Do not hand it off just so that the opposing defense can stack 7 or 8 in the box to stop Neal and Lane.

Let him throw the ball around 40 times in a game and have a good day as a Passer, not just as a member of the team. His problem is fixable because if he has a day like that, it will give him his confidence back as a man and a leader.

Butch Jones kept saying during camps that he wanted the veterans to step up and be leaders. Worley can be a good QB for this team but he has got to start having faith in his ability to throw the ball downfield.

My 2 cents.

Dude gtfo he's making his first start against one of the best defenses in the country. His OLine missed assignments and his receivers weren't open. He had a terrible game but he is definitely scholarship worthy. Get out of here with that nonsense.
