I think both of the freshmen are talented. Trent Dilfer said both are BCS caliber quarterbacks. But I think a freshman starting in the SEC is the exception not the rule, especially if they weren't in the two deep coming out of fall practice.
Tennessee has one redshirt freshman and two true freshman QBs on the QBroster, do you really want another one, and could you recruit one that could come in and start next season?
This is an interesting discussion IMO.
Heres what I have gathered from what I have seen regarding the current and future of the QB spot.
1. The staff sees Worely as the best option despite snatching a start away from him at UF, coupled with everything we have seen on the field.
2. Its obvious (from the staffs stand point) that the FR are not in the ballpark given some of the QB play we have witnessed to this point with neither getting a sniff.
3. Im not a recruiting guru by any stretch but it appears that we have been selective in QBs with this current class, with no one on the current radar that I have seen.
Having said all of that, one has to kind of wonder what the future looks like. This season is pretty cut and dry going forward IMO. I dont think you see a FR taking meaningful snaps this year short of Worely being injured or pulling a Peterman for an extended period of time Anyone that follows football with any sense knows that its not ideal in anyway to start your average FR at QB, but given some of the play we have witnessed its hard to figure out how far behind you have to be to not really be on the radar either. Biggest question for this staff in the short future.
