Footage of Ferguson

[Oskie Volum]

DeerPark12 (have a strong hunch on who DP12 is, by the way, and if I'm right they are most definitely an AD insider).

Just a heads up man....everyone nows that DP12 is actually in the AD. No need for people to wait for u to confirm your hunch, Sherlock Holmes style, to be the final verdict. The guy has been posting for yrs, and doesn't hide it.

Is it just me or are many of Ferg's passes short? I see the WR turning around/adjusting alot to catch some of those. He looks like a helluva playmaker but some of those just short & inside passes would've been picked by an SEC DB.

The only way, it seems to me, anyone could not be impressed with that tape is if you have your mind made up before hand to not be impressed. Dobbs may win the job and if he does I will support him as I am a Vol fan but it does seem like this kid has the it factor to me!

IMO, that's a worst-case scenario. If CBJ has a young QB who can start next year, they have to start. If Worley starts, it can only be because he was absolutely lights out (lets face it, that isn't going to happen) or because the young guys just aren't that good.

CBJ has one more year before he has to start winning. People can post that he gets 4 or 5 years, but the reality is, he doesn't show significant progress in that 3rd season, he won't see a 4th or 5th at UT. And he will not want to risk that crucial season on an unproven QB.

The only way Worley starts next year is if none of the freshmen can play at all. We've seen what Worley has, and no one can honestly say he's taking the 2014 team anywhere special. He's - at best - mediocre.

Has to be one of the young guys next season.

Worley 4-4 Dobbs 1-3, but I wouldn't be surprised if JD or RF win the job. CBJ will put the best one out there that can win games now to turn the perception around and get the recruits he needs to compete. Bowl next year, 7 or 8 wins the next with improved talent and most will give him years 4 & 5 to get us to the SEC championship level. He will play for right now and if everything goes as planned the future will take care of itself. I won't be surprised if Worley is the starter nor will I be surprised if one of the freshmen end up the starter. Malone saw what all 3 can do and realized they are all capable and the main thing is that the coaches told him would be featured in this offense. 5* featured as a freshman. Why wouldn't he want to come?

This magical depht chart document had JD 2a and RF 2b. Its known that RF went only because JD simulated Driskell on the scout team. Neither was gonna play that gamr no matter what. RF did the normal game plan. Other games that was reversed. At no point has any official depth chart had Fergie ahead of Dobbs. Why will people not accept known facts?

People don't like facts and logical reasoning. The Fergy lovers want to continue to use the oh Dobbs didn't travel to Florida so RF must be better. The facts are nobody knows who is going to be the starting QB.

And I would bet that most of the people who are calling for Ferguson as the savior are the same ones that called Dobbs the savior.

When ferguson beats out Dobbs, I hope you don't have a mental breakdown. Dobbs was 4th string. Accept it or not. He also looked like a 4th string qb, so I hope that ferguson is a better qb because if not then Worley will start again next year. Dobbs was not very impressive 6 int 2 tds 59% completion rating and your calling for him to be the starter?

No you just refuse to accept fact. Not once did Butch Jones ever announce that Dobbs was 4th string. Did he struggle? Absolutely. Its easy to sit back and say RF would have done better when he never played a down. If RF is the best of the bunch I will support him 100%.

Hopefully you don't have a mental breakdown if Worley or Dobbs wins the starting job. Also whats so bad about Worley starting? If he hadn't gotten hurt, we would have went to a bowl game. Your post is a pretty lame attempt to facilitate Dobbs and Worley hate.

I can only laugh at someone who suggests that Worley is capable of playing "lights out". He couldn't have started anywhere else in the SEC last year, apart from maybe KY.

Barring injury, he'll never start another game at UT.

The guy set records in HS and was known as a precision passer. The recruiting svcs dissed him supposedly because of his throwing motion (which is not bad) and because he supposedly didn't have arm strength (we now know he does).

But the QB is not just the guy who does the job physically. He's the guy that has the right influence on his team. The drop off by the whole team was significant when he went down. There were probably other factors... but he was a big one.

Worley was very solid in his last two outings and played part of the USCe game with what we now know was a pretty serious injury.


The short answer is... you are simply wrong.


PS- since HS highlight reels, rankings, and offer lists seem to be acceptable "proofs" in this particular thread... I'd remind you that UT beat out ND for Worley. He had a very good offer list in spite of committing early and showing no signs of wavering.

I literally just saw his/her insider legitimacy being questioned the other day on this exact issue. I never claimed to be a detective. I have zero intentions of ever attempting to confirm who it is, directly or indirectly, nor do I have any interest in outing whoever it is were I somehow to figure it out. I just have a guess that I think is fairly good, but it's totally irrelevant to anything.

 

[sjt18]

FWIW, Jones repeatedly said that neither Dobbs nor Ferguson was ready to play. He had no intentions of playing either until Worley got hurt. Regardless of which has the better arm or was 2a instead of 2b.... Jones consistently said they weren't ready to play.

Dobbs will hopefully develop into a very good QB... but his performance suggests that Jones was telling the plain truth.

I'm embarrassed for you.

You should be embarrassed for yourself.

It should also be mentioned that it is very difficult to assess what these YOUNG men will be able to produce on the field in the Spring much less the Fall. As these YOUNG men develop their talents into a skill set anything can happen. To predict what will happen 4 months from now is worthless. We have a general assessment of what Dobbs could produce this fall under difficult circumstances, Worley and Peterman, also for that matter, nothing more. As far as Ferguson, we have nothing but speculation and high school films.

 

[volger]

The depth charts always had them listed as tied for the #2 spot with an "OR" between their names. In all such situations on the depth chart, the two tied players were listed alphabetically.

The coaches were exceedingly careful not to put one in front of the other. It was pretty obvious that the intent was to redshirt both of them. It seems that the coaches were careful not to name a favorite for fear that one of them would transfer.

Once Worley, Peterman, and Ferg were all injured, Dobbs was the only option. It was easy to see he could have benefitted from a redshirt season.

I don't remember which game it was. Wasn't Dobbs left at home for a road game early on? And wouldn't that say Ferg was ahead of him?

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

I'm embarrassed for you.

You do realize that Dobbs would have never seen the field if Worley didn't get hurt right? And if he hadn't gotten hurt we would have beaten Vandy. Also if Jones started him against UF we probably would have won.

With Worley healthy we go bowling this year. But you're right, he sucks. :crazy:

I am really embarrassed for ou.

Gee, imagine that, the head coach who watches the freshmen throw every day and repeatedly told the media that neither of them were game-ready was actually telling the truth. I, too, agree that Worley would have finished out the season were it not for his injury.

I said I hope Riley ferguson is a better qb than Dobbs because if not then we will go back to having a very mediocre qb in Worley. I think your right that had Worley not of been injured we would've made a bowl. That being said I think he is an average qb, and that Dobbs is just not very good. So yes I do hope that Ferguson is a better qb than both of them for the sake of having a good qb who can consistently throw the ball downfield, and give us a chance to have a respectable offense, which is something that we lacked all year with Worley and Dobbs.
