Plain and simple... Peterman needs to start

Thanks to a "run to the garbage can" Sal Sunseri defense.

That is a hilarious post for someone getting on here bashing others for their football knowledge.

And how many yards and points did this "great defense" give up*Saturday, yet people are blaming Worley. It goes both ways.

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.

Very well said. I generally agree with that sentiment. However, it does scare me that Fergy/Dobbs aren't better than Worley right now.

14 points will win us a lot of defensive battles....

If you notice, I never actually said that I think he's played great. He hasn't. However, he has not lost a game for us. He's a game manager with crap talent around him. If you put the talent of Alabama around him, he'd look similar to McCarron (for those with reading comprehension deprivation, I said similar, not identical). He doesn't have 3 NFL receivers or an NFL tight end to throw to like Bray did.

No in the hell he would not. McCarron can sustain drives. Worley can not. McCarron is at least a threat to throw the ball deep. Worley can't throw 20 yards.

A Benz and a BMW are similar, not a Benz and a 94 Ford Taurus. They both are cars....the similarities end there.

Consecutive 3 and outs against a fast pace team like oregon will completely drain our defense.

Alabama would've scored two maybe three times in the amount of time Oregon scored 6. THAT will drain a defense. The amount of time it took them to go 3 and out was longer than it took Oregon to score.

According to the people filling in for Ainge on his show there are rumors that the qb competition will be opened back up at practice today.

to his credit, worley made a really nice sideline throw in the WKY game but croom dropped it. and his TD throw against the quacks was on the money. so he is capable of being adequate, but apparently gets headlocked by brain farts that result in floaters and dirt balls.

a read option with only one viable option out of 3 is going to get torched in SEC play -- but i'm sure that the best coaching staff in america can figure that out.

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.

Some people are just not very good practice players, but play great in games and some people are great practice players and terrible in games. I wasn't a good practice player. I would catch about half of the balls thrown my way in practice, but in the games I rarely missed a ball that I got my hands on. I believe the main difference for me was the extra focus I had in the game. The coaches would even joke about it with me. That maybe how Peterman is, but you won't know unless you give him a shot. I still think Worley will get the start, but I wouldn't be surprised if we don't see Peterman in the near future. I don't believe either Freshman will see the field this year baring an injury to Worley or Peterman.

To his credit, Worley did not fumble, throw interceptions, or take sacks...against a pretty good Oregon team which made a lot of our players look like chumps.

As it should be. I think we now know what we have with Worley. He's not a threat to run or pass. We need to find a qb that can at least do one or the other pretty well. The tough part about making a change now is whether or not you want a new qb to make his debut in the swamp, or do you want to wait until S. Alabama.

And Saturday's loss had nothing to do with giving up almost 700 yards to the Oregon offense?

Hard not to give up that much when you have shallow depth on defense, and an offense that can't do much better then 3 and out. Defense needed a rest.

He would look similar to McCarron in the way that Ryan Leaf looks similar to Peyton Manning.

Drain them of what? Oregon scored in under 2 mins, what, 6 of those 8 touchdowns? They weren't on the field long.

2 minutes of literally no rest. It may only be 2
Minutes but those are the most tiring two minutes of football that could possibly be played. Button line is we knew the only way we could win was to make sure oregons offense doesn't have a lot of possession. The constant 3 and outs were detrimental. They may have only had drives of around 2 minutes but they had a
LOT of drives. In some situations, the best defense is a good offense.

Giving up 40+ points to Troy, Vandy, Missouri is outrageous. Giving 59 at Oregon may be discouraging, but oregon is the toughest offense any of these kids will
Ever have to play for the rest of their tennessee careers.

I'm sorry but this is just retarded. McCarron is a Heisman candidate and a potential top 3 round NFL draft pick. Saban isn't throwing a game manager like Greg McElroy out there this year. McCarron is a star.

Worley on the other hand... no need to harp on it any longer. The verdict has been reached. Give me someone new. ANYONE new.

My guess is that one of the freshman are about ready to step up. My guess would be Ferguson because of his arm strength and mobility. Could be Dobb's though because of his intellect and ability to learn the offense, not to mention he is apparently our true dual threat option. But then again..... Who know's? I think a change is needed. I love Worley's attitude but sadly I don't believe he has an SEC arm.
