Newspaper article: Jones has confidence in Worley

What did you expect CBJ to say? ..."Worley stinks worse than the sweat on a dead man's nads?"

Worley's issues are mental ones: confidence and butterflies... When he is relaxed, he has a nice passes and much better acuracy. I suggest hypnosis, or something off the wall to build up his confidence, etc. Hell, I'd make him practice in his 3 day old undies or a pink thong. If he can practice through that, he'll be fine on game day.

LOL... MANY of you cling to this inherent contradiction. Jones is the "guy" but he does not know how to select a starting QB or coach them up.

Dooley realizes as at least a few of us do that the problems in the passing game are more complex than Worley not being a good QB. The WR's are improving but are still very inconsistent. Worley needs to work on the underneath throws and hit them 100% of the time.

These are coachable things. Worley is sufficiently talented to be a good QB. He's not a guy who can make up for WR deficiencies with his own talent.

BTW, Worley once again looked really good on a couple of runs. He's not the statue many of you thought he was. He probably needs to do that more.

if dobbs and ferguson can't run the offense.then who can.that is why i am scratching my head.is cbj saving dobbs and ferguson for next year.

Jones recruited Peterman while at Cincy. He recruited and signed Ferguson and Dobbs at UT. He's starting Worley because he thinks he's the best of the bunch. So what gives? You said Jones is the guy, right? But then according to you he's recruited 3 bad QB's and chose a 4th one who has no talent.


You really can't have this both ways. Either Jones is the genius who will resurrect UT or he's the boob who cannot even figure out who to start at QB.

It's kind of funny.... I said before the S. Alabama game that Worley may need to throw those INTs to get them out of his system so he can stop overthinking and just play. Bray had to and kept throwing them even after. JW's biggest problem has been playing too conservative and overthinking throws when he should go for it. That's when his passes have lacked zip.

As ugly as it was in the second half, I think that game was a confidence building exercise for Worley and the receivers and that was the plan from the start (not for S. Alabama to make a comeback but for the game to be all about getting Worley and the receivers better in tune with one another).

As strange as it sounds, our schedule has made it so that was the first full game that Worley and 1st team WRs have played together.

Absolutely. He has been pushed by the staff to take chances. He stretched himself AND the receivers Saturday for really the first time this year. They now have some VERY coachable and correctable issues to work on whereas before... they did not because they had not tried.

Trying and failing is better than failing by not trying. I think it was a good step forward this past weekend.

I don't believe in worley or any of the other qb's. We need a qb desperately next year. This year is a wash. I just hope we can win 5 games, If we win 6, Butch gets a statue. Man I hope he can pull a spade out his rear end and get a good qb for next year.

Ok, I'll bite. What possible reason(s) do you have for not believing in the 2 freshmen QBs? They were both Elite 11 QBs. They havent played one down yet.

And don't say because they couldn't beat out Worley. They've been on campus all of 4 months. Ok, go.....

All four of the guys on the roster have talent.

Kiffin was a (fill in the blank with your own words) but he does know talent. Chaney knows talent. Both liked Worley and Chaney loved Ferguson. Jones recruited Peterman, Ferguson, and Dobbs and believed in Worley's talent enough to start him over all three.

The problem is that they are still integrating into the system while breaking in a bunch of young, inexperienced but talented receivers who are very inconsistent. If the WR's are inconsistent it would be dumb not to play the most consistent and mature QB you have.

I did NOT think this way after the Oregon game. I think Worley and the receivers have made strides over the first 5 games. It is coming together as Jones claimed it was a couple of weeks ago when it looked flat ugly.


Worley even looked good running the ball Saturday. He needs to continue increasing his confidence. How Jones manages that could be huge. Cut turned Ainge around after his was shattered.

The starter for the 2014 season probably has not gotten on the playing field yet and I think CBJ is hoping he doesn't have to go there. At least I'm hoping that player has not played yet.

I'm not dogging Butch when I say this but it's highly possible the truth is somewhere in the middle. There are a lot of politics involved with benching a veteran and starting a true freshman. Lastly Butch is the same coach that left Peterman in as long as he did when he was clearly floundering. That added to the politics he is facing in relation to playing another QB. If Worley plays like he did in the end of the 1st half and second half like he did last week he'll make it easier on Butch to decide.

I think even those who would like to see a true freshman playing can admit there really wasn't an opportune time to play one against S. Alabama.

Why not pick a freshman and do the occasional rotation.

Like urban Meyer did in tebows freshman year?

At this point until we see one of them who knows. I honestly think it's because he'll have a fan favorite before he's really ready. If Worley was THE guy as people like to allude then why the hell do you trot Peterman out against UF and then let him marinade in his filth for series after series.

I trust Butch but he's playing this one close to the vest.

Right. His confidence showed in the second half of the SA game. The play calling wouldn't allow Worley to pass any longer. I am relatively confident he can hand the ball off too

I honestly wouldn't mind seeing us pick up a kid that only has a year or two left and just needs a new home. You see QB'S leave programs all the time. Kinda like Russell Wilson or Cam Newton. I know sometimes you have a kid with some issues. Although at this point for Butch its about winning. So the faster he can win the better for him.

I disagree. When UT was up 31 - 7, I said "now is the perfect time to put in a freshman, while Worley's confidence is sky high and before he has a chance to **** it up."

Fast forward to 4th quarter...

All of you that are saying "put a freshman in for experience" dont get it, IMO of course. I dont think Butch is playing for next season, he is trying to win now, and hey, the seniors that chose to come play at UT despite Dooley and despite the lack of success we have had the last few seasons deserve that! He feels the best chance to win now is with Worley. This season isnt even half over yet and many of you have done give up on it. The freshmen will get their shot, either sometime this season, or come Spring 2014 when they are bigger, smarter and better prepared.

year 1 in a new system for everyone in the program, followed by 2 different systems in the last 4 years. We can barely execute base, I'd bet Worely has the best handle on the system and is still a work in progress. The other 10 guys on guys on offense aren't helping him any. The real qb competition starts post 2013.

He is recruiting the kid committed to NC State very hard. very hard. He might have decided he doesn't have anyone right now that can run this offense..
