I typed several things here, and deleted them all.

Because honestly, I have no idea what's going to happen with the QB battle. I don't think Butch has a clue either. I mean, a Gatorade Player of the Year, the Best QB in Florida for his year, a 4.0 Aeronautical Engineering major who mastered his offense in HS in a single day, and a guy who has lost 2 games in his entire career. Oh and a guy who is walking on who set records in TN, and won at least 2 State Championships.

I mean, I would LOVE to say that I favor one of those guys....but I honestly don't see how we can lose with that kind of accomplishment, at least at the QB position.

I'm sorry, but I'm not going to miss Bray's emotionless demeanor on and off the field either. I wish him the best, but I'm looking forward to a QB with a competitive fire and leadership skills! Go Vols!

I don't care if our QB literally moons the camera so long as we win ball games.

I agree, it's a new day. Pretty exciting to see that kind of talent and leadership ready to compete for the job.

I hope Bray does well in the NFL. He is an exciting player much of the time. But the Bray years will be marked by 3 losing seasons in a row - the low point in Vol history that he contributed to as well. He was not a beacon of light showing the way to success that rallied his teammates. What I hope this group gets is that the QB is the leader on offense and one of the top ones on the team. Act like it. Best man wins the job.

I just don't see us complaining no matter who the choice for QB is. We're going to have the best OL in the country protecting him. If he wins the battle out of those 5, then he's obviously a good decision maker, protects the football, knows the offense, and is going to make plays. Having a good OL this year will only give him the confidence he needs when the next year comes and we won't have James and Tiny most likely.

Whoever the QB is....he's going to have a hard road to get there, because he's going to have a lot of competition.

But that's a great thing. And honestly, I won't feel too nervous if we have an injury. I really think that these 5 guys can hold their own, even if they are partly freshman, and all unexperienced. They are winners. They know how to win. I just feel good about that.

A slow QB cant run the SO Jones uses :question:

Well, Peterman is an inch taller and outweighs Connor Shaw by 20 pounds. He also runs a 4.8 -40 yard dash, compared to Shaw's 4.6-40 yard dash. From that I would say that he could possibly become a bigger, slower Connor Shaw, if we are lucky enough to have a qb who completes 2/3 of his passes like Shaw.

True, TB was no Johnny Football in terms of leadership . It wasn't all his fault the big stat sheet didn't add up to many victories.
The dark clouds are gone and we should be both excited and optimistic about the potential of our young QBs. Whew! :yes:

Peterman reminds me of Tebow a lot. Similar charisma, bigger dual threat QB, looks similar, and a man of faith. Not saying we've got a Heisman Trophy guy, but this guy seems to have a lot of leadership capability.

VolFan4Life87's point is that trashing Bray is unnecessary instating your admiration of Peterman.
Now, you say you're not going to miss Bray's emotionless demeanor on and off the field. yetthe fact you're harping on it says otherwise. if you're not going to miss it, why talk about it?

When Bray was doing his cocky cutthroat act, walking horse gait, and so forth, he was condemned. When he turned it down and acted quiet and controlled his mouth, people like you still damn him. He can't win either way.

There's stuff about the guy I didn't like either but it doesn't justify me to come in here or anywhere and declare him to cohort of demons. As a matter of fact, and though our season didn't go like we hoped, I thank him for suiting up. Had we a better defense, we'd have won probably 8 or more games. You'd likely then be singing Bray's praises in soprano and worshipping his bowel movements.

What I'm saying is, the guy is gone. We got new people we can appreciate (at least for now) without spouting hate about former players. If you're going to talk about former players recently gone, wish them the best of luck in their future endeavors. If my post seems harsh, it's because I'm just fed up with the repetitive can't let go harping about Bray and other departed players. It isn't needed.

My best GUESS is that by mid season, Worley will lose his job to Peterman or even Dobbs. Worley will be able to keep his job against Western Ky. & Austin Peay but not against Florida, etc....

I like the idea of Peterman too. But i think too many people here are selling Worley short. You don't get to be Gatorade player of the year for nothing. As much as I hold no vendetta against Dooley, I don't think Worley was allowed to play to his strengths. He is by background a spread QB but was asked to be a pro style guy. Under Butch, Worley is going back to his roots. the only negative for him is possibly having a weaker arm than Peterman. So no Bray-like distance throwing but great at short and mid range. He will move the chains without being flashy or highlight work. Butch is a results orientated coach, and Worley will prove to be a results orientated QB. You guys are mistaken to think he's lost the job already.

I dare say that whoever is QB, Tennessee is in a enviable position. If one goes down we will have at least two if not more very suitable replacements. if we have a defense this year, we going to get some paybacks in several games.
