I think everyone is shell shocked from the last 5 plus seasons. No one wants to get too excited because they are afraid to get burned again.
CBJ holds players to a higher standard. He is not a sunshine pumper. It may take all 3 qbs to get through the season. He is just trying to get them ready. I am sure he could care less what everyone else thinks about his methods.

I understand this to a degree but I don't see everyone's rush to start beating themselves up either. Manning was very high on Worley coming out of the Manning passing academy. I'm going to hang my hat on that till Jones specifically says otherwise.

With Quez and Hendrix both wearing 8 at times it's hard to tell them apart. That's one big ol WR right there.

Oh, I agree with you. I do not understand the panic except for the fact we have been Dooleyed. It has made everyone skeptical.

Looks like Worley has hit his ceiling as a college qb. If the race is close I wouldnt be surprised if they started dobbs or peterman. They can get better, but I don't think Worley can, he should be hitting fade routes by now, as a senior. And was terrible on the read option last year. I could be wrong but it looks like dobbs and peterman have way more upside than Worley.

I've changed my mind and honestly think we should go with Dobbs if no one separates from the pack. Hopefully he takes care of the football a bit better this year.

Looking at peterman and not thinking about the Florida game last year, he is looking better than the others. He looked pretty sharp in the videos today. His release and footwork is very nice. One thing I noticed that I like is when he got that snap he got the ball up high ready to through way faster than the others. It was catch and on the shelf ready to fire.

All of them except Wolf and Helm. Those two have caught almost everything and have made some tough catches as well. Pretty apparent that they became the best TEs on the squad as soon as they stepped on campus.

In day 5 practice Wolf made a nice 1on1 play after being bested in 1st attempt. He looks like he's going to be a physically imposing guy on the field.

Until I read about him throwing against 1st string D the UF game will be all I think about

That's also a good point. I forgot to take that into consideration. However even on air he seems to be more accurate, today anyways. And again we only get to see a small portion of what goes on.

Has he been cleared to play? I don't think I've ever seen confirmation one way or the other.

Another good shot from utsports today.

Do walk-ons have to get cleared to play? He is practicing, so I assume he is enrolled, but not sure

Few thoughts specific to QB worries.

Only a portion of practice is open to media. Who knows what we don't see.

Many have said 6 wins is the likely scenario. You don't need Andrew Luck for 6 wins. You need a competent game manager.

Aaron Murray was very successful for UGA and he was notorious for horrible deep balls. In 2011 at Neyland they would have blown our doors off had Murray connected on several poorly thrown deep balls to wide open recievers. He still got the win on the road.

We have lane and Hurd and a stable of very athletic recievers to bail out whoever is QB

Our secondary is much improved from last year and will create problems for this offense in practice

It's gonna be what it's gonna be.

He's also a better runner than both Worley and Dobbs. If the oline struggles through fall camp, that has to factor in to CBJ's decision.

I call it like I see it - and I think Peterman is firmly in the race.

He looks crisp.

Agree 100%. You know he just wants one more chance.

Who wouldn't? Easily the worst single game performance I've ever seen from a Tennessee QB. I can only remember every game from '93 on so that's not a huge sampling, but I'm sure it ranks pretty high up there all time.

It's ancient history at this point. He looks like he wants it more than Worley and Dobbs right now which I'm sure has contributed to CBJ's negativity toward the position so far.

It's not a knock on Peterman as much as frustration with Worley (and Dobbs to a lesser extent)...

Johnathon Crompton performances has to be the all time worst QB play.

So y'all think the ships sinking after practice#6 , it's going to be along year.

I don't think the ship is sinking at all. I actually think our D will be better than I originally thought as well as our oline. We just have to have a qb that can distribute and take care of the football.
