Man, I love the posters who toss up the things like:
"Man, Peterman looked way more awesome than Worley!"
"His arm strength is looking far better!"
"Worley sucks!"
While ignoring the fact some of the times he's [Worley] has actually connected with receivers they've dropped the ball. Or the best quotes "Peterman came out looking hot!" When in reality he's come out, tossed the ball 12 times this year, connected with six for a whopping 40 yards.
Impressive...said in my best Darth Vader voice.
I don't know if Peterman or any of the RS Frosh guys are the answer. In the future, probably so. But in case none of you computer quarterbacks have seen, CBJ isn't running a huge pass attack offense. He consistently emphasizes the run. Now, I'm pretty sure Peterman can stand in the backfield and hand the ball to Neal or Lane just as well as Worley or the other Freshmen, so there is that.
But please stop saying "Peterman came out looking like Peyton reincarnated!" when in reality his stats are not that impressive. Had he come out yesterday tossing the ball around like Joe Montana, I'd be singing a different story right now. But he has not. And if he starts, he will make rookie mistakes as a brand new starter...wait a minute...rookie mistakes as a first year starter?
Kind of like another first year starter we happen to have starting like now. Oh, man, I went and did it. Yeah, we have a rookie QB in this year. With a bunch of first year starters at receivers. So combine the two and you're going to get some rough plays. So if you're going to sit there and talk about how bad Worley is, best remember there have been some pretty catchable balls tossed that receivers have dropped as well. Spread the blame around a little why don't you?
Worley has had an uphill battle since last year with much of our fan base since we are all excited over our highly talented recruiting class we got in Dobbs, Peterman and Ferguson. They had awesome high school careers and were all rated three or four stars...wait a second. Wasn't Worley rated a three star and had impressive stats? Yeah, there is that. I'll leave that alone.
He had a rough day yesterday. But even if he had thrown for 300 yards and rushed for another 100, it still wouldn't have changed the fact we were going to lose that game. "Oh, the score would look better at the end!" Yeah, the deck chairs on the Titanic would have looked nice pointing towards the bridge instead of away. I'm not saying he's our best choice, but the coaches picked him as the starter for a reason. But going into an important game like Florida you don't change your horse in mid stream unless you are certain your back up is going to get the job done. And nothing Peterman has done so far indicates he can do better than Worley.
So leave the kid alone for crying out loud. If he comes out and throws 400 yards against Florida, the kid will be a hero. If he can't get the job done, let the coach decide if he's not capable and needs to come out.
