Anyone who thinks a qb can't grow from junior to senior year look at Zach mettenberger. Kid after his junior year was a lost cause and look at him now. In that case worley is the man or so I hope

Worley still has less than one years experience under center. I believe he has more upside than he's being credited for here.
Although, the 2 young QBs both have better wheels and that is important in this scheme. Regardless of who wins, I believe our QB play will be much improved over last season.
* Worley: Whole year in offense. Was improving a lot in the UGA, USC games before getting hurt at Bama. Expected starter at least early.
* Dobbs: Almost as much career PT as Worley. Showed + flashes last year, and FR realities too. Should be much improved.
* Fergie: Who knows, outside being the alleged top FR last yr, we just don't know. Would love to see a star leapfrog everyone, but it's just unknown.
* Peterman: If he gets another shot under the lights, he better take full advantage. I see him xferring after getting recruited over. But, I snickered at the idea of Matt Simms playing in the NFL too. TIFWIW.

I think Worley is the leader going into Spring. I've also read a lot about Dobbs doing extra work over the holiday's and so far during Winter workouts. He seems to really want it. While Ferguson seems to have many physical and mental attributes that people really like and see could make him a great QB, he's been pretty publicly quiet over the Winter workouts. In my opinion he would really have to make a huge splash this Spring to unseat either Worley or Dobbs as the starter.

If either Worley or Dobbs win the start with Ferguson and Peterman as 3rd and 4th I think one or both of Ferguson and Peterman would transfer.

Ferguson won't transfer man even if worley gets the nod. If he does because he can't face competition then I don't want him anyway. God I hope something good happens vol football somewhat made me an alcoholic and I've been sober since the vandy game or after at least. I need good football

I think it's going to be Worley, for all of the reasons already stated. But I wouldn't be surprised to see Dobbs sub-in as a situational option.

Would love for Ferguson to emerge as the superstar we all want -- probably just a bit too much to hope for. But I don't think we need to pin all of our hopes on that, because I think Worley (or Worley/Dobbs) will be able to get the job done.

How in the world do so many people think Fergy wins the starting job right away? I think the guy could be golden and will probably start eventually. But if you think he will start over Worley or Dobbs who actually have experience playing college football under Coach Jones, you're nuts.

I picked Ferg but I honestly think it will be Worley. He had some good flashes in mid-season and he has another year in the system. Won't rule out Dobbs or even Peterman.

Worley will probably start. And with more weapons this year he may be able to hold on to it. After the Peterman experiment, I doubt BJ will have a quick trigger to pull him even after a couple of losses. But I am curious to see how Ferg will compete after being healthy and having a full year in the system.

That's just it, the OL development may push the replacement of Worley sooner than later.

I base my pick on what I've seen on the field, and I haven't seen Ferguson play, so I say Worley will start.


Of course with an all-new offensive line I figure we might see Dobbs and Ferguson sooner rather than later.

....Dobbs’ first three games were at Alabama, at SEC Eastern Division champ Missouri and against Western Division (and conference) champ Auburn. So you say you want to play college football, do you?

The experience could pay dividends in 2014 for Dobbs, an engineering student with a 4.0 GPA who has plenty of smarts and drive. Ferguson, a Charlotte native who redshirted in 2013, is the more natural athlete and passer. Odds seem high that both quarterbacks will play while one finds a groove in what could be another challenging year in Butch Jones’ transition. Bear in mind that it’s essentially an all-new offensive line in front of whoever wins the job. That has a way of making the QB look bad, even if it isn’t entirely (or even remotely) his fault. ....

The only thing that appears to be new information based on the results of this poll is that apparently Nathan Peterman has a Volnation account.

UT played their two best games in 4 years with Worley under center and had the programs biggest win since 2007 with him under center as well.

I'm going with Worley.
