Impressed with Worley

Worley might not be the best QB in the world but he makes the throws and doesn't turn the ball over (this year) without help... a la croom not making the catch, the LT not making a block, the OC not making the right call.


Dude is a lot better this year at making the throw though. I cant speak to his decision making as I'm not a college caliber QB and I cant read that **** as fast as it needs to be. Maybe there is a better throw to be made every time he throws the balls. but judging on the throws hes making they are solid. If you put this years worley on last years bama I don't see them losing any more games than they did. Just thinking out loud.

Proud of Justin. Played very well in that storm.

Told my son during the game ... "he's playing as good as Peyton Manning did in the super Bowl. Very similar.

Noticed Stoops ran right out to speak to him first. He knows the way he played against that onslaught. Looking forward to a big year from him. If he's not broken into that is.

I too was impressed by Worley. Could you imagine if he plays like that all year long and doesn't get crippled?

I sure can and it reeks of a bowl birth.

Then the SEC is full of mid level QB's. Other than the TAM guy, I've not seen any others appreciably better than Worley. If your OL can't give you any time to breathe and your receivers still drop balls and aren't making any YAC to speak of, I'm not sure what an QB can do?

Name a more gutsy game you've ever seen from a UT QB than Worley last night.

Change your name to Chumpyvol because your a chump of a fan. :thud:

I would ask him to keep the ball in the read option about 10 times/game please. It'd really help his running backs.........

Can't do that if you expect him to remain healthy for the rest of the season. The OL is letting him get hit way way too much for him to also take on more hits from additional running.

Put your Football cleats on and show us how its done!
I try not to fuss at stuff I see posted but this hits a nerve.

I'm not good at spelling or English, but I will take up for him.

We have way to many NCAA Football game players trying to coach that's never played a game. Win or lose he represents our football program. He was hit hard tonight over and over. I would just about say 90% of the people fussing on him would take one or two hits and would quit.

I know that's what he has picked to do and as such he deserves our support! I'm not saying he is the best QB in all of football, but he is our QB and needs us to get behind him. I'm proud to call him Tennessee's QB!

I like to yell at the T.V. too, I'm just saying that after the game they just played and the beating he took we need to pick him up and encourage him, not kick him down every time he tries to get up.

he's a tough kid and it is obvious that he is what we have. i just don't see where everybody thinks he is a good QB. in big games he makes turnovers. this is the SEC you are going to get hit and hit hard. he is a senior not a freshman. since he is all we have it makes me wonder about next year. if dobbs is that bad who will be our QB.

As bad as the young O line was last night I was much impressed with the direction of the team. We had two turnovers in the end zone, one of which was returned for a touchdown. We had opportunities to score and make the game competitive. Can't wait for SEC play

Yup it is the SEC.. But even in sec QBs don't get hit like justin did yesterday. I mean no protection at all.
He gave it his all on the field for Tennessee..
Bye week comes at the right time for this vols.. They will be ready for Georgia

Worley took full control of this team last night in the loss.Quotes by Josh Smith told me all I need too hear.He tweeted I love my qb.It's game on.now boys these kids are all in.When your qb is also the toughest sob on the team good things normally follow.I am pumped and wish we played this week.

Think the Worley love needs to cool down a little bit. Yes his performance was gritty and he made some nice throws but he made critical mistakes and he's very average. He has absolutely ZERO pre-snap read ability. Now the coaches deserve serious blame for not doing something to prevent 19 from flying at Worley untouched for almost two full quarters, but it's not like he didn't make his intentions known before every snap and Worley still didn't pick it up. Also he has horrible athleticism and who the hell throws into triple coverage in the end zone???

He looked glassy-eyed on the sideline due to the pounding he took. How he could endure that and still make good passes (most of the time) is astounding. My only critique of him other than what has been said ("...throw into triple coverage...") is his read option decisions. I mean, at least 2-4 times a game, keep the dang ball and gain 4-5 yards. That action would loosen the game for the RBs and vice-versa. When their D knows what you're most likely to do, you're going to be in for a long night. That is what I hoped wouldn't happen but that is exactly what happened most of the night.

Exactly when did he have time to make a read? Striker was in his face mask all night. Some of you guys really don't know as much as you think you do. Especially when you make statements like that. Hell he was being forced to try to get the ball out with a two step drop. Think about that.......two steps and your getting hit.

Its 3 games in with one big game. Don't bring up last year, its gone and he is a very different QB than 2013.

We played the #4 team in the land am I the only one that sees this picture?

A mostly freshman OL facing a very seasoned D.
He was sacked 5 times, hit to many to count.
He was 21 for 44 with 2 INT. Just two...facing the #4 team, He did dang well. He's not a star QB but he is a good one.

Did you know stat wise he is ranked 16 in Tennessee passing? That's from 1956 - now. That's one below Condredge Holloway and 15 above Johnny Majors. I'm not saying give him the Heisman, but I'm saying give him respect.

If we had won that game, It would have been "Worley is great" from everyone. Vols fans are a two edged swords. You can win 100 games, but the 1st one you lose or make a error they hang you from a tree.

Same thing in 1997 in the SEC camp game, at half-time I know people that would have paid to have Peyton's head. Then after we won he was the best QB ever born.

I say we go to a bowl game this year, and we should be very proud :)
