Man, I hope Worley's ticked off...

Worley is not mobile enough for Jones' offense. You have to be able to run. Dobbs is faster and more elusive. Worley will not start.

It's a complete myth that it takes a dual threat QB to run our offense. At its core, it's a West Coast offense.

Why? With all of the other weapons on this team? Maybe once or twice, but why do we want our QB to run the ball? He did outrun Maybin in the spring game so he may be more athletic than we are led to believe.

I Hurd we beat the 6th ranked team in the country last year, with Worley at the Helm.

He's been a loyal soldier and a great Pearson.

He won't carry this team mAlone and with a great supporting cast, has a Gaulden opportunity to Wolf down his critics and lead us to a Medley of Berries and Cream(er).

To be fair, it was a list of QBs with the most to prove. I think there is a lot he has to prove and he certainly can do so.

Don't think he should be last but......what has he done in the off season to improve? The 1st time he throws the ball behind our receiver or doesn't check down to secondary receiver I'm going to have to agree with the ranking. He is a Sr. He should be playing like one this year. Hope he shows up with big boy jock strap this year.

What a BS set of rankings! :banghead2:

I believe Worley beat SC, which ended the year ranked 4th in the nation, correct??? :blink:

Wouldn't say Worley beat SC. Was more North bailing him out on a great catch on one play and another great catch that saved an interception. I really dont care who plays QB and if it's Worley then great. But he had a long way to go as a JR and hopefully has improved his accuracy. Not much he can do about the lack of arm strength so accuracy needs to make up for lack of arm and so far hasn't shown that. We have too much potential and weapons at WR to not be able to get the ball to them. Way too many times last year guys were running wide open for big gains and TD's and missed on way more than he hit. Hopefully him and Dobbs working with that QB guru has helped them both with their accuracy with the lack of arm strength both have. Can't wait to see how much improvement has been made working with that guy.

If he can complete 60% of his passes and have a 2:1 TD / INT ratio... And stay healthy we will do well.

We would have had an extra win plus a bowl game if he's stayed healthy last year.

I think you are probably right. Think we probably win the Vandy game if Worley had played but really nobody knows for sure. We could have scored 21+ with him or with his int prob could cave flipped it the other way. But will say that Vandy game was one of the worst QB performances in a game since the clawfense. That is prob the only game we could have won but a bowl game would have been huge. Definitely important that we get to a bowl this yr, which I think we will.

Definitely not all FR at QB. North, Croom, Howard, Pearson, and others who played a lot of snaps. Malone wont be needed to come in and be the man and if he does it's a bonus. Hurd and Scott will be needed though, especially with Lane's prone to getting injured. But if Lane stays healthy I see a really good yr coming from him. Do see the 2 FR TE's being heavily involved, especially with all the great reports from them both. Watching these kids develope will be fun to watch for yrs.

Did you actually watch the SC game? The offense was Marquez North catching jump balls. Worley didn't beat anybody. He was missing key throws all day.

Exactly, been saying that since last yr. Worley did nothing the second half of the SC game. Worley saving an int on one horrible pass then that unreal one handed catch helping to set up Palardy's FG. North and the running game won that game for us on offense and a solid game from the Defense. I wished we could say Worley was the reason we won that game but he wasnt. But both Worley and Dobbs putting in the extra work with that QB Guru can only help. He is one of the best around and if he can't improve them then really nobody can. Looking forward to seeing if the work payed off.

Worley is not exactly known for his arm, legs or accuracy but since he has shown good game management skills, he should do a lot better with some running weapons and more receivers to open up the playbook - that is IF the O line can keep the D off of him. I cant see him in last place at the end of the season, more like 8-9 is hopefull/realistic IMO

+1000..And that has been mentioned a thousand times on here but some still think we gotta have a DT QB to run the offense. The QB's the Coach's have heavily recruited prove that. Way more pro style offers to guys that are pure passers that guys that are DT QB's.

If he does start I hope your right. Definitely don't see him as the worst SEC QB. He should know the offense in and out by now, just like Dobbs should. You're right he definitely will never be a guy that will have a good arm or be very mobile. He just needs to be a game manager and become more accurate. Also not turning the ball over as much, when he got hurt he led the SEC in int's, believe it or not. If you aren't blessed with an arm and the ability to use your feet then accuracy and good decision making needs to be really good or you won't be an SEC QB for long. Look at guys like McCarron, C. Clausen, Danny Wuerfel and even like a Chris Leake. None of those guys had great arms but were accurate, didn't turn it over much and were winners, which means good decision making. Think that is what is expected from Worley. A senior should be a leader and play like a Sr. Jmo.

Just saw this FoxSports ranking of SEC QBs and Worley's dead last at 14. Granted, Worley is not the next Manning but they rank a bunch of guys who've never started or even played in the SEC ahead of him. I hope he's really ticked off about this and plays with a chip on his shoulder this year.

One question, where would you rank him on what he did last year, and in the spring he did not look that good.:unsure:

a good point for sure,North should stand out this year and hopefully the rest will too,I'm like others though,the O Line is a big concern

what do you think about them ?

and who is this QB guru you speak of ?

They ranked QB's that have never played over a QB who led one of the worst teams in the History of the Vols to upset No.10 USC

I don't see how people who are payed to do this stuff can be so stupid.

Not saying he should be highly ranked... but that list is crapola on a stick

Love this.. Worley didn't look good scoring against 1st team defense.. but Dobbs was AMAZING when he only played against the 2's of a depleted undermanned defense..


I do not get some peoples logic :crazy:
