After 3 games it's pretty clear to me that Worley lacks accuracy, throwing on time and arm strength. CBJ needs to promote the "next man up" and give him a shot.

Also, the read-option is a complete waste of a play if the QB never runs it. Worley is not very fast, at least Peterman, Ferguson or Dobbs have some wheels and could actually keep the defense guessing actually running the read-option.

I agree let somebody else take a shot at QB just because they might get out done in pratice doesn't mean they want do better in a game. Some guys step up and play better in the game. They want know unless they try. Hopefully they will Worley is not getting the job done

I agree with everything except putting in Ferguson or Dobbs in...honestly that would be more or less waving a white flag on the season. If Ferguson or Dobbs were ready they would have played. The fact is they aren't and I doubt very seriously that will even happen UNLESS one of the two quarterbacks are hurt. The goal ain't to mortgage the future just for the sake of the present.

I said Peterman should start but I believe Ferguson or Dobbs needs to play too. One of the freshman needs to play some behind Peterman and redshirt the other. Worley is not the answer based on what I have seen so far this year.

OK and I said it probably won't happen---it probably won't mean anything towards the win column and it certainly won't end well for Dobbs OR Ferguson. It's not going to solve the overall problems with the team or mean anything other then signal Butch is going to give up this season. He's not going to do that. He's going to focus on winning games now.

It wont take long to find out if any the other QBs are good. Players at this level just dont develop a ton. You either have it and are good or you dont.

A freshman quarterback is not going to change the team or the win total ; even if we have the second coming of Johnny Football on the team.

Eric Ainge excelld as true freshman...contrary to what most say wehave weaponsat WR who were open several times yesterday and we have a great oline line toprotect thefreshmen...let them take their lumps and get better....it would be impossible to be worse than Worely...impossible....any legit tru freshman QB could perfrm better than Worely...they might turn it over some but at least they will complete some passes...Worely is a complete zero...

What leads you to believe this? What happened when Tyler Bray took over for Simms? Freshman quarterbacks make an impact every week in college football. This is one of the most idiotic posts I've ever read on this site.

Correct me if I am wrong. When Worley won the QB battle over Peterman CBJ said it was very close and that Justin was just a little bit better?

Peterman deserves a shot if it was that close. Worley has not proven he is the man.

Peterman seems like a no-brainer at this point. I'd rather have a QB who can keep the chains moving with his feet and is inaccurate than a QB who is about as immobile as Bray and also inaccurate.

I don't think it's time to start the freshmen yet. Give Peterman a chance against the meat of the SEC schedule. Jordan Rodgers at Vandy wasn't a great passer in 2011, and yet he kept drives alive with his feet. That's all we need Peterman to do. Scramble, run the option efficiently, and complete 12-15 passes per game.

If he can't get it done, or at least give us a better chance to win than Worley, bench him and start a freshman against South Alabama. And then start trying to pull a committed QB from somewhere else, because both the upperclassmen will transfer.

Ainge had an elite arm. Ferguson supposedly has a gun.

OK well if you think one freshman quarterback is going to impact this team then you have to be the biggest idiot poster on this site. Our problem is the entirety of the team---it's a complete lack of talent on the entire roster. Throw the freshmen in you troglodyte--still ain't going to mean **** on the win total.

If you throw in a freshmen at least we have a punchers chance. Worley does not have the ability to play division 1 college football. If we play a qb that actually moves the ball it gives us a chance to beat the Missouris auburns and vanderbilts of the world. If we stick with Worley the only teams left on the schedule we beat is south Alabama and maybe Kentucky . If you think Worley is the answer your football iq is hovering somewhere around 55.

The schedule got easier. There wasn't a single game Bray won in 2010 that Simms would not have.

And you know this how?....I mean after seeing only Peterman play of the 3 how do you know the other 2 have wheels?...Dobbs doesn't for sure, I've seen his tape...He is a drop back passer style of qb...Peterman hasn't shown me any wheels either for that matter so where do you get this assumption?

Peterman looked pretty quick in the O&W game. He had a few runs that were TDs had it not been touch downs on QBs.
