Reasons why Butch Jones is staying with Worely as the starter.

I don't see Worley as bad! He's just not confident. When he settles down and makes a decision he has thrown some very nice passes! But after the third int. Last week he lost the little confidence he had and started over throwing receivers again! I think he has potential, we will only see if he lives up too it!

That was my thought the first couple of games too. But the more I see him the more I am believe JW is afraid of getting hit. His really inaccurate passes are the ones with a little bit of pressure.

If he can get over this thing with getting hit, I believe he becomes more accurate(by stepping INTO his passes) and might even keep the ball on the read option occasionally.

That would prolly make you happy, but in reality, he's not planning on next year being a disaster. But, here is a plus for you. There will still be many things for CBJ to turn around and build up which you can be negative about.

If he starts a redshirt next year with no experience what are you expecting? If Worley starts what will you expect?

He's the coach so he knows more than me. My only issue is if peterman is out hurt, he's gonna have to use one of them if something bad happens.

This is my only current concern with the qb situation as well.

I am expecting progress at the position and not Peyton Manning at the position. If Worley starts, I will expect him not to consistently throwing into the dirt or air and IMPROVE. No disasters, just improvements.

But if Worley doesn't what do we have as the alternative?

New Offense, new receivers. Worley is the only one with experience. It's sad really. If he stays with him and he makes through these next 3 games healthy, it will be him all year. We're not going to get the new guys snaps unless he gets hurt. They'll be no mop up duty unless we're getting our doors blown off, we're not blowing anyone's doors off. So that scenario isn't happening.

And, quite frankly, Georgia's defense is one that, if Justin can avoid inopportune turnovers, could facilitate that mutual progression of confidence on the part of our quarterback and his receivers.

Agreed but my worry is that the run game will get stuffed and the young receivers will get whipped in man coverage. Worley will again look like a buffoon... without necessarily deserving all the blame.

I fully expect UGA's strategy to be man to man and throw everything else against the run game.... force Worley and those young WR's to beat them.

If I were Worley, I would write "18" on everything I owned. I would have a pocket card with "18" on it. I would change my background to a picture of Croom running. I would use my MP3 to say "18" to me as I slept... then I would look for 18 all day long vs UGA. He may be the only one of the WR's who can hold up to the kind of physical coverage UGA is likely to throw at UT early.

These freshman not getting any playing time is gonna hurt! And I don't see Worley getting us to 6 wins so that will put us another year behind! I think coach is gonna ride Worley out to save the redshirts. The also think worley has been told not to run to save injury!

So you think Jones was a bad hire then? A liar?

If he's tanking the program or lying then what kind of coach is he going to be?

I think the guy shoots pretty straight myself. I am still hoping he's the guy but waiting for proof. But if you really think he's botching the QB situation that bad having FAR more info than either of us... wouldn't that make him the wrong guy as far as you are concerned?

Not decided yet on the hire! Not impressed at all with the vanilla offense 2 runs then pass on 3rd and 8. My thought on the Qb is he is gonna let them grow with the class we have coming in! Jmo

I just find it funny that alot of fans want to see the freshman because worley is not playing well. when more than likely if we threw one of them in it would turn out just like the Florida game.

Trying to redshirt two true freshmen quarterbacks in the same year when your starter can barely complete a pass beyond five yards and the back-up behind him is injured & out is ignorant, I don't care the excuse. He won't have the luxury to not play one of them anyway before the season is over so it will be a failed effort. I would like to be behind Jones but I'm really bothered by how he's handled the QB position. While the team is lacking skill, talent, and depth it's not nearly as bad as our performance would indicate. He may very well turn this ship around but, up to this point, he has been a huge disappointment (save for recruiting) and this season has gone down in flames and will continue to burn while he redshirts two quarterback that--if they're not better than what we've seen from the two ahead of them prior to the UF game--we wouldn't want or need either of them for five seasons anyway.
Plenty of freshmen quarterbacks make an impact in their first season, although often with inconsistencies and growing pains. There is no way neither Ferg or Dobbs can offer the 2013 Vols a better chance at victory or just simply a better performance overall--maybe not if thrown in against a Bama or Florida defense, but against South Alabama, yes. Spot time against a suspect UGA defense, yes. Bring them along nicely and slowly and the anger from most fans will dissipate. We need hope. Right now there appears to be none.
But don't believe me. Just take Jones for what he says. One day both QB's play, whether here or at another school, will confirm what I've said. They are a better fit for the read option, better passers, and better game presence. Game management only comes with experience, which they are not getting. Worley doesn't need another year. Jones doesn't have the option to sacrifice 2014 like he appears willing to do for 2013.
But go ahead, take whatever he's telling you as absolute truth. They'd suck even more than what we've been forced to see the last five games. Keep in mind that Jones showed a tendency to hold onto a struggling QB at cinci, too (Legeaux, for one, prior to his injury). Flame away.

Young Recievers combined with a QB situation is usually a recipe for disaster. Especially combined with RB's that aren't very fast or crazy strong.

Lets be honest: We all expected to be 3-2 going into the Georgia game. We always hold out hope that we will beat Florida even when we know we won't especially in the Swamp.

That being said, if we come out for 4 quarters and play good on both sides of the ball we do a have chance of beating Georgia. Our defense is a lot better than it was last year.

If we can move the ball against their Defense on the ground and Worley can play his best game then we have a chance. The one thing that we absolutely need is for the young recievers to play their best game and 0 drops.

He took over a dumpster fire. Year 1 and 2 are going to be bad. He won't have any quality depth till year 3. On top of all of that every team in the SEC except Kentucky, Miss St, Arkansas and UT will go Bowling!

he is not going to have the depth he requires until he has a roster of players he has recruited.

He took over a roster that is not adapted to his system. Until he recruits his players he won't be able to execute what he wants. Once he gets a freshman class and can redshirt about 75% of that class, he will them have quality depth.

I highly doubt any coach will ever redshirt 75% of a freshman class & regardless of who he recruits they will have to be coached up. The key is getting talent & that's it.

Don't diss the Voice. My wife went to high school a few short years ago with the country singer Justin Chains that wowed Blake.

How do I know? What what?

This was common practice not so many years ago, indeed it was a measuring stick of just how deep your roster was. You are correct, however, that it rarely happens today, with so many juniors going pro.
