Remember this ??????

You can thank Dooley for that. I think it was the Alabama game he put Worley in in the last few minutes of that game.

Yes it was. I was like "what in the heck are you doing this for". I wasn't really questioning Dools at that point, but I remember thinking how pointless and stupid that was. It was a death warrant against that D and with our young OL that year. Simms was running for his life like Worley this year, performs terribly due to it. So what does Doolittle do ... burn the unprepared FR redshirt. My frustration has come full circle.

There was a lot of hating on Worley last year and now look at him. I hope we all remember what can happen with time and experience, Peterman may very well be the next QB to make drastic changes towards being better if given some time to gain valuable experience.

Yep. I think the run of 1st yr QBs from Andy Kelly to Shuler to Manning to Martin to Clausen to Ainge/Shaeffer distorted our collective viewpoint somewhat concerning first time signal callers. Take away the awesome supporting casts from that era and then trot out Crompton, Simms, Bray, and Worley. You have a recipe for a lot of disappointment.

Wish he had another year.

From 247 Sports: Ranking the SEC Quarterbacks

13. Justin Worley, Tennessee- Worley has a good arm and won the Vols starting job thanks to his command of the offensive system, due to his starting experience. Tennessee has a lot to replace on the offensive line, though, and Worley is a quarterback you HAVE to protect because he isn’t mobile. Obviously, if Tennessee can protect him there is enough talent at receiver for him to be higher.

WHAT A STINKING JOKE !!!!

I CAN'T THINK OF ANY QB IN THE SEC (OR THE CFB NATION AS FAR AS THAT GOES), THAT I WOULD RATHER HAVE UNDER CENTER. KID ISN'T PERFECT... BUT HE'S AN ABSOLUTE WORRIOR !!!!!!!

(And pretty darn good too)

Other than the number 13, the write-up is spot on. He's buying some time, hitting his receivers, and working his way up the list.
