Concerned about our QB situation!

Every snap he takes in games he's going to get more experienced and better (hopefully.) Why don't we just enjoy the fact that he's played pretty well over all. I mean we could have a guy like Driskell as QB. Then we'd have reason to be worried.

If Driskell were in a better situation, he'd be a good QB.

I think the Gators have some Clawson level issues with the OC and head coach not meshing well on their philosophies.

As concerning as the Worley situation is, the defense is worse.

The turnovers were nice but they still nearly managed to give up 400 yard to WKY and had offensive guys running wide open in the secondary more than once.

It is kind of hard to replace a guy when were winning by 30 points per game. I am sure Butch has his eye on the QB situation and will replace Worley if that determines to be necessary.

Are you basing this on the 45-0 win or the 52-20 win?

Without reading every response, I must agree with this comment/question. It is obvious that Worley may not have the strongest arm in the world, but we have two wins, by comfortable margins. Sometimes, a QB is more than his stats. Sometimes much more.

Now, time will tell if this is going to continue. I have a feeling that after two more games, we are going to know if we need to audition some or all of the younger guys. I definitely feel that this guy has earned his opportunity though. Lets just give him his chance.

The QB has to be a threat to run or at least be serviceable. If everybody knows the RB is getting the ball on every read option run play we are toast. Hell even the Ole Mess QB can get about 50 yards rushing per game to keep the D honest.

Worley was, what, 11/19 yesterday? But a lot of the completions were bad throws that our receivers turned into good catches. Hopefully, they can continue to do that, but SEC teams are going to expose Worley's shortcomings and capitalize on them. The coaches obviously feel Worley is the best we have right now and that is cause for concern.

Coaches know better than us fans the qtb situation. Hang on! all will be revealed next Saturday. Worsley is green lack of experience. Maybe TN will stay away from the long balls. Worsley has other hood attributes. Support TN .. go vols..

Your first comment is incorrect. Driskel is a poor man's Tebow and not ever going to be successful, regardless of who else is there.

Your second statement is correct. Florida has probably already got feelers out for a new OC.

Homer fans like you that accept mediocrity are the ones that need to be replaced. Worley sucks b@lls and you could see that if you werent blind or in denial. We want to win so we don't sugar coat things like you sitting back there making excuses for a junior that obviously can't play in the sec.

This is absurd. If Worley sucks balls, then the others must suck worse right now. Just because another QB has more talent doesn't mean he can play better right now. Our fans are ridiculous. Worley gives us the best chance right now, plain and simple. Are people really this stupid? Maybe if we are 3-5, then we try something else.

The offensive Cordinator will need to match his strengths of Worelys game. Worley though doesn't have that cannon of an arm but appears as this far a fair QB.

Having a crew of freshman and inexperienced recovers does not help matters. Worley gives us the best chance right now

Imagine how bad it could be with a freshman QB who doesn't know the playbook throwing to freshman receivers who run the wrong route?

Reality is about to slap you and a lot of other people on this board across the face next week. Worley is awful. When top tier defenses start keying on our run game. ( because we have no threat of beating them over the top because our qb can't throw) the run game will struggle. I hope one of the freshmen pick up the offense soon.

I'm really concerned about our QB situation. I love Coach Jones and I'm sure Worley's a great kid BUT.....I don't think he's the long term answer. Yes, he can "manage" the offense and make the intermediate throw (although not very accurately)...but I seriously doubt he's going to be the playmaker that we need under center. His arm strength seems to be a serious issue, as does his ability to handle pressure in the pocket. I'm sure many may disagree and say "he's young, it takes time, yada yada...but I've seen too many young and inexperienced QBs make serious noise for their respective teams. I'm betting we have more "talent" waiting in the wings....even if they are "young and inexperienced" themselves. Go Vols!

What a concept! Another vol fan that thinks they are the coach! I'm sure bUTch is only putting Worley out there because he wants and desires to piss everyone off! I'm quite sure he has no clue who the best QB for the job is right now! I'm sure he has no plan for the future!

Good grief vol fans it's not about you it's about what coach thinks gives us the best chance to win!

Sorry coach Jones but I do believe you know what you are doing and I apologize for some of these other idiots on volnation and in volnation!

He can't suck too bad if he's the starting quarterback for a division 1 school. Does he need to improve? Absolutely. But he doesn't deserve that type of criticism from some of the tools on here.

Let's just hope he doesn't have the kinda outing the WKU QB had yesterday.

That's what I like about Worley, he doesn't make the big mistakes, at least evidenced by the spring and fall camps. (He had an exception INT yesterday, though I don't think that will be common.) I understand the argument that his underthrown passes will be taken advantage of but I have faith he'll correct that.

Exactly. You'd think that Coach Jones would know what he's doing in this situation. Worley is the best pick for starter as of right now and especially against Oregon. For those saying they should pull Worley, what is it that you've seen that convinces you there is a better pick for starter?
