TN - Comes in making a split decision to put in Peterman because of QB issues, we end up putting Worley in and still lose. Bad decision on Butch from get-go.

FL - Comes in with Driskell as starter and complete gameplan but within minutes he is out. Back-up QB played like he was the starter anyways. 2nd half, coaches tweaked gameplan to make it easier for him. We got out coached.

Agree???

You do realize these QBs were facing different defenses, right?

TN has a Junior QB. TN has 'young' WR. TN has big experienced line. The difference is Bama hired an elite coach.

TN has a junior QB ...but not a junior QB with a 6 win and 10 win season under his belt . This is our junior QBs first year as a starter ...it is very rare for a QB to come out and do well in his first season ..not even Peyton

We do not have one of our career record setting receivers currently on the roster . North has alot of potential ..but we do not have 3 freshmen of that caliber that we can put on the field. We have some walk ons , 2 guys that were running back less than a year ago

Our O line is in the same ballpark

We do not have two RBs of the caliber that they had. ..not even close.

You are comparing apples to oranges. Saban walked into a ton more talent than Butch did...Saban walked into a talent pool more in line with what Kiffin did . Even with that talent he still went 6-6 and lost to La Mo.

Every situation is unique , but I would expect improvement as the season progresses and into next season.

Of course the coaches get the blame; they should, and they take it and would be the first to admit it's on them.

Some people have/ or had their expectations way too high...this year was NEVER going to be a walk in the park. We are starting at the bottom and have a heck of a long way to go...I know in the age of "instant" everything, many think we should be pulling rabbits out of the hat already... just ain't gonna happen. It's going to take time.

The best thing we can do as fans is support our team and players through this growing stage. We all need to simmer down, as painful as it is sometimes, and let's give them the encouragement and support they need and deserve(will also be good for recruits).

One positive I saw yesterday was that our players didn't give up...that was huge, in my book, compared to last year...baby steps, folks, baby steps.

just my 2 cents...

They are both bad, but I thought they would have gone with Worley to start based on him having a edge of experience and not throwing Peterman into the den of Gators in his first start. Most fans felt that this was a gambled risk by CBJ and it failed. CBJ has more of a job right now in getting that kids head back on right. You know Petermans confidence has to be low right now.

I personally think we would have had a better chance if Driskell would have played the whole game....

Your probably right...he wasn't 100% and he is known for making bad decisions and he probably wouldn't be much of a threat on the edge. if anything we just possibly helped make muschumps chair get a little warmer...as I don't think the rest of the sec except for kensucky will have a very hard time containing him.

I agree that you shouldn't be left alone with dangerous equipment.

He was damn if he did and damned if he didn't. If Worley started and we lost people would be screaming why didn't we start/play Perterman??? He made a decision, live with it. It's just a simple fact we are not that good. Give CBJ sometime.

two games we might've lost if we were having a up(good) year. 2-2. Fire the coaches. its all their fault, its a conspiracy. maybe obamas in on it and doesnt want tennessee to win. Really this thread makes me like tennessee football more but some of the fans alot less. Go VOLS try anything you need to win CBJ. I'm all for it. Our offensive line is still a great offensive line, although they did get beat. Listen, anytime a defense is not being threatened by a qb in the secondary, they bring the fire and rush the qb, which makes our line vulnerable to failure every play. All we need is a better qb or worley to grow over the season. CBJ is doing exactly what he needs to be doing.

All I see is us getting better right now, no one should've thought we'd be undefeated at this point. I'm hoping the target on GA's back gets a little more realistic as October 5th nears.
