"Worley shouldn't be in there! No way he's our best chance at winning!"

"Playcalling sucks! It's so vanilla! I don't care if they can't execute simple plays, open up the playbook!"

"Lane is so much better than Neal!"

"O line is sooooo overrated! Won't miss them much next year!"

Let's end the argument there. Don't see a need to continue. I'd say Jones has made plenty of us Vol fans look stupid.

P.S. Dawgs down! Florida down! Bama down next week! Ish!

The negative things said about Worley was justifiable. I just didn't like everyone saying Jones was dumb for sticking with him. I also worried about playcalling and decision making early on, but then again they just beat a legend coach who coached a bad game.

I really think you are failing to acknowledge that Worley has gained confidence since the second half of the GA game. That doesn't mean I think he's the best thing going, but when a player believes in himself their coaches tend to allow them to do more. Worley runs this ship. When he plays bad we have to go to simple formations. When he plays good you get play calling like the GA and SC game. We live and die by Worley's average arm and passing decisions. The best thing we have going for us right now is that Worley's performances continue to get better and better each game. Lets hope that continues after the Bama game, because we need to find two more wins somewhere.

The players are showing progression, a sign of good coaching. Fans were showing frustration which, believe it or not, is a good thing. Frustration builds from passion and passion means we still care. Every fan wants what's best for the team, we just don't always see eye-to-eye on what's best.

The demeaning of fans around here is far worse than the demeaning of coaches. Especially after a win.

I questioned Worley's ability to play at this level as well. Hard to have nothing but respect for the kid.

I'm confused on how I failed to acknowledge this. Did you quote the wrong post?

I was one of the ones calling for Worley. I have to say he has played extremely well since the second half of the uf game. Glad I was wrong.

As far as Jones and the play calling. I've not had a single complaint. Same goes for the o line. They're not all world, but they've played extremely well imo.

My response to your points:

1. Worley may be our best chance at winning right now, but let's not kid ourselves and think he's played great. I really hope the FR develop in the offseason because we need more from the QB position.

2. CBJ does seem conservative with much of his playcalling. That's not always bad, but we are a fan base desperate for wins after so much losing. We want to see some chances taken. It seems natural to me after the seasons we've suffered through recently. That said, CBJ only has to keep winning for the fanbase to stop criticizing.

3. I still like Lane better. No offense meant to Neal.

4. What happenned to Tiny today? Clowney was in his head or something. Coaches need to get with him and help him get his head straight because he is a much better player than he showed today.

5. I don't think CBJ has made any Vol fans look stupid. He's a man doing his job. We're fans providing the revenue that pays his check. Fans complain about what they see at the moment. CBJ knows what he has to work with. Ultimately, he wants to please us. The best way to please any fan is "just win baby".
