What I was thinking. If he can't beat out the freshmen, there is little reason for him to stay. Branisel might transfer as well. We really don't need more than 3 on the roster, and I think they have Alex Ellis there for depth, too.

I wish some vol fans would go for greener pastures. Hoping for someone to transfer who wanted to be a vol in the first place is not cool.

Where is your evidence he won't? It's your assertion. I don't have to show proof. You do. You're the one making stupid, unfounded statements...and selling it as fact.

He was the Offensive MVP in the state of Florida, coming out of HS. Butch recruited him. I saw him at the public practice in Neyland, last August. He looked really good then. Better than Worley. It's folks like you that try to base his worth on the Florida game. Worley looked like poo against Oregon the week before, and he looked just as bad when he went in against Florida.

It's a stupid knee-jerk reaction to state matter-of-factly that he's done. Far from it.

You claim he has the strongest arm and best mobility of the 4 QBs....you claim that Worley looked awful the second half vs Florida .... and I'm the one making stupid, unfounded statements?

Peterman's a good kid, obviously a resilient hard worker. He had a disastrous game vs Florida where he looked completely lost. He was injured and we didn't see him again. Fast forward to this Spring and there he is, doing fine but appearing from all reports to be the 4th QB. That's where I'm getting my information from.

You clearly have some emotional attachment to the kid. I don't. I wish him well, perhaps he gets a chance to redeem himself at UT at some point but the odds are against that. As it stands today, by virtually all accounts, Worley leads to be the starter, followed by Dobbs and Ferguson, with Peterman bringing up the rear. You don't want to see or acknowledge that then that's on you.

No, that's just not true. Better mobility than Dobbs? No. Stronger arm than Ferguson? Not according to every single person or reporter I've ever heard from who's seen the 4 QBs perform in person. He appears to be 4th string right now for a reason. The disaster at Florida is certainly one reason.....and his spring practice performance appears to be the other.

You are just going by heresay. If Ferguson has a better arm, it ain't by much. Watch the difference between the velocity on the ball when Peterman and Worley both release the ball at exactly the same time, at the 2:03 mark in this video:

Selfish, IMO. I want kids who can play and get on the field to stay. If some kids are going to be buried on the depth chart, then let them go to a place where they can play. You are only given 5 years to get 4 in, so I don't want them to waste it.

Let me turn this around, if you were at your job and you knew that there was no way you were ever moving up the ladder because the boss has already tabbed other people as his co assistants or whatev, you telling me you would stay because you love the company? Some might stay because they do like the company, but what about those who want to one day become managers? Should they stay?

Same for the players, some came to UT because they grew up loving the Vols. Those players will and should stay. However, some kids came to UT because it was their best option and they wanted to PLAY in the best conference. Well, if those kids aren't good enough to PLAY, then let them transfer to another team/ opportunity (emphasis on opportunity).

Your post has valid points no honest person can wantonly discard as being without merit. Now, let me turn it around again just to see what transpires. 20-30 Players not seeing the field opting to go and play elsewhere. They come enmass to the coach with their decision and it's honored. Off they go. No whining about having only 50 or fewer players for the team to compete with. Seems fair, why even wait until they opt for this, strongly encourage them to transfer to save time and give them more of a chance to succeed elsewhere. Do the pros do this? I think so. Why not CFB too? Fair is fair isn't it? We start paying players this may well be what will happen anyway. Get a jumpstart on it.

Heck! Why not start with Volnation. Transfer all negavols to Bama, Gator, and Russian Rugby boards. They aren't Vol supporters anyway, just Vol distractors with Bama bandwagon heart transplants. Even their excretion is crimson. Serves them right for letting a Bama surgeon perform the transplant and hook the artery tubes to the wrong end.

AWWW! Come on Woodsmanvol Talk sense. Who will be the next transfer???? SIGH! OK, it will be Jimmy Cheek to the University of North Dakota. Go Sioux!!!!

incredible sample size used as justification for your claims. If any QB leaves, it is Peterman. Just accept it.

Peterman has a stronger arm than any of the other QB's he also has better mobility....much better running the ball.
Don't count him out at all:lolabove:

JaMarcus Russell has a strong arm and great mobility and can run the ball also. However; I would not want him on my team.........

Christian Harris left. Clark on the DL. We don't know about Pig. Harris and Clark were probably recruited over. Pig has personal issues. Butch is trying to build quality depth. I don't wish for anyone that wants to be a VFL to be forced out, but some guys are going to leave for more p.t., to be closer to home, ect. The point of the thread was to find out if anyone knew who may be considering a move. I would especially like to see guys like Bowles stay. He is from all accounts, a great teammate. I don't see all 4 QB's staying. That is reality. I would guess from a PT stand point that a guy like LaTroy Lewis might be a candidate.

Dobbs stays because of the degree that he is seeking. To him, his degree is 1st and football is 2nd in the whole scheme of life.

Ferguson loves Tennessee. Has for a long time. He won't transfer either.



The best case scenerio for the q.b. situation is for (1) Worley to win the job. This way we don't have a starting q.b. next off season because Worley will graduate. This will help to attract Gentry to us. " The q.b. competition is truly open for the 2015 season, so you can possibly earn a starting q.b. position at U.T. your freshman season Gentry"

Keep Dobbs & Fergy as solid back ups......In the event that Gentry struggles early or of an injury...

Probably Worley who will announce he has concluded agreement with the Golden Bears to be their immediate QB. Something to do with the Cuonzo Coriolis Effect and a lack of Vols fans support.

My guess is Danny O Brien. The reason that I say that is that in the past 25 years, I can only remember about 5 players from the north who actually played for 4 seasons.
Most of them leave.

I only remember Peerless Price, Andy McC. & Munoz as the only northern players who stayed all 4 years.

Aldon Hill is the latest northerner to leave the program early.....

Ben Martin stayed 5 years

You're mixing my words with someone elses, chief. I didn't say he had the strongest arm, nor the most mobile. I said he had A STRONG arm and was ALSO mobile.

Yes, Worley too looked like crap in the Florida game....that's one reason why we lost. Cause their offense tried to give the game to us. So, yeah you are making bone-headed claims. You don't have a damn clue as to whether Peterman will play again. Let me remind you that Worley has sucked as badly as Peterman did many times BEFORE Peterman ever took a snap. Yet, many are claiming he's going to be the starter in the fall.

He's looked bad more often than he has looked good. That much we KNOW. Peterman is still getting adjusted to the speed of the game...as a redshirt Sophomore. Worley had more time getting adjusted.

So, there is no way to make a claim like yours based on one quarter of football against what was probably the best defense in college football at that point in the season.

Heck, if people judged Peyton as harshly based on a bad game against a great defense in the Superbowl, the NFL would be asking to take back all his league MVP's.

Ferg may love Tennessee, but I don't think he wants to be a backup. I predict he ends up at ETSU in 2015.

Why would he end up at ETSU and give up the starting QB position with the Vols. Don't make sense to me.
