How big is Dobbs? He looks like a little kid compared to Worley and peterman. IMO, he really needs this year to mature physically.

He will be fine. I hear that he is going on the Bray diet. Give him a couple of months.

Im not claiming to be a QB expert but after watching several highlight videos of Dobbs I just dont see where all the hype is coming from. He seems to have a weird motion when he releases the football, dosent appear to have a very strong arm, and cannot throw a spiral for nothing. Has anyone else noticed any of that? Im sure I will get bashed for this post but oh well.

Pssht...craziness. He's gonna start day 1, put up Manziel numbers, and lead us to a championship. Cause he's smart.

Worley. He ran a similar system in high school and won national player of the year. He is much better at this style of offense than Chaney's. quick decisions and accurate. He has trouble when he has to read coverages and hang in the pocket for longer routes to develop.

I agree. As much as I like NP and believe he's going to see playing time regardless, the SEC in general isn't kind to frosh QBs. Plus JW is a lot better than folks here are giving him credit for.

No, haven't see that but you just described Billy Kilmer.
Had a pass that sportcasters said looked like a wounded duck, but he won games and got into a Super Bowl, was a pro bowler etc.

Well it dont have to be pretty all that really matters is that you win in the end. I just have the feeling people are going to be disappointed with Dobbs. He had alot of college offers but not many from the big time elite schools and there is a reason for that.

imo Worley will start....but we'll see Peterman also.

Last year at cinci Legaux threw for 1700 yards while Kay went for pert near 1300.

Side note...both rushed for over 300.

I think Tyler Bray only had 2 offers, one being San Diego State. I wouldn't read too much into that.

So we have Peterman and Worley going through spring. Obviously Dobbs and Ferguson will be here this summer.

What QB do you see getting the nod after spring? Worley or Peterman? Obviously, it will be hard for a true freshman to come in this summer and turn any heads over 2 guys that have been here.

I wouldnt at all mind seeing Dobbs or Ferguson blowing up as that means theyre doing something right. They do all get to start fresh with the new offense so that levels the playing field some.

What does everyon think? Ive been craving some QB conversation.

Heres my opinion. It's between dobbs and peterman. Sure Worley has a touch more experience than peterman but he has it with a completely different set of starting receivers in a completely different offense. I'd venture to say that most people would agree that when a new coach comes in with the plan to change the offense at any school that the most crucial recruit in his first cycle is the qb he takes. It's got to be a guy who fits his system and will make the transition easier and that seems to be what dobbs is, peterman also fits seeing as jones pursued him really hard while at cincy. I feel like jones knows that the next two years, although important, are not make or break for him however year three is the big test. Because of that I think he would be more
than willing to let either a redshirt freshman or even a true freshie take his lumps early on so he can have four years of continuity on the offense. Why go prostyle for two years under Worley and then risk a transition nightmare like Dooley faced in his year three debacle because of his defensive shift. I think worleys limited experience is vastly overrated when you factor in the athletic ability and intelligence of dobbs and peterman. All of that may be way off base but that's how I feel. Sorry for the rant.

Oh no, Déjà vu all over again! LOL I think JW will be given every chance possible to win the job, but at the end of the day, CBJ is going with the guy he thinks gives him the best chance of winning. For the first time in quite a while, there will be a real competition at QB this spring. May the best man win.

Im not, im basing my opinion off of all the videos I have seen of the kid. Im not saying im right either, because its not like im some type of QB evaluator. Im just not very impressed in what I have seen of him.

I expect Worley to be the starter unless Peterman somehow outshines him in the pre-season drills. But, many folks seem to be hoping, even anticipating, that Dobbs will be the second-coming of Johnny Football. It's a good 'problem' to have and it'll be quite interesting to see how all this plays out.

If I am not mistaken, Jones doesn't really treat the QB position that different from any other position. I believe he has used co-starters and a 2 QB rotation. I believe he has also replaced established starters who weren't underperforming with guys who proved they were better.

I personally like that approach.

Nope , Jones has strictly been a 1 qb guy . Lefevour was his guy all three years he was at CM and Collaros was his guy for two years at UC and Munchie was his guy last year until he was injured

I believe going into spring Worley is the starter, but I believe throughout the spring Peterman becomes the starter, CBJ will give him a long look, after all he wanted him in Cinci so there is something there he likes.

Actually Kay didn't play at all ( 2 passes 5 rushes ) until the Syracuse game when Munchie was injured . Munchie missed the last five game and that is when Kay got to play

Neither! Gunner Kiel is heading to K-town, according to inside sources!

Nice news break - just saw the article on ESPN. While intriguing, I'm not sure that a guy who couldn't succeed in Brian Kelly's offense would all of a sudden be the savior of Butch Jones'.

I think we will see a two QB system until a true starter is picked kind of like with Ainge and Schaeffer.

I read this entire thread and didn't see the name Riley Ferguson. Why is it that he was the best thing since sliced bread at one time, but since Dobbs came along he's all but forgotten? And when we get a QB in this coming class, folks will wanna turn the team over to him.

If we start either of the freshman this season will be a flat out disaster. I just wanted to get that out of the way.


As for the REAL battle.. Worley or Peterman? One really couldn't go wrong picking either guy. But I'm gonna ride with Worley. Experience against top SEC opponents counts for quite a bit IMO. And he has ability...let's not write him off as some rag tag player who can't beat out a freshman.

I want to be first in calling "shotgun" for that ride with Worley. I'm with you.

All of them scare me. Maybe we should run the ball like Kentucky did with it's emergency QB/WR and see what happens. The Orange and White game did little to alleviate my fears. Either our D is unbelievably good or our O is unbelievably pathetic. Peterman and Worley looked awful.
