Somehow I keep seeing people saying they'd like to see our 4th stringer start off the season. Would someone please explain? I'm an ol country boy and am trying to honest to goodness figure it out.

Worley starting clicking and went from gosh awful to a QB that almost lead us to 2 upsets before going out with the injury. No way they lose to Vandy with him. So someone please show me the light lol

I think you're confused. People have mentioned how we ended our season with the 4th string qb, but not how we started it.

There is no way to tell what our QB will be come next fall, spring will be wide open. But if "almost" is something you can hang your hat on then Derek Dooley would still be the coach here. And by my count worley was 1-4 against ranked teams as the starter this year so that stat nor his personal stats are exactly wowing anyone

Well he DID beat one ranked team. Josh Dobbs stunk it up.

And he doesn't have to run. Its is not required with this offense.

I think it's safe to say this spring will tell a lot. Worleys problem is the way he throws. He has a big wind up which isn't good when your on the run. Tim tebow was a big guy and could run the system great that's how he could get away with his awkward throwing. Worley must learn to run, he lacks a lot of confidence. We can't have a qb that lacks confidence. In this system arm strength is a must.

Are you being serious? So it's his fault Pig fumbled away a victory? I'm not talking about the Oregon game. I'm talking about how he started playing well when he got hurt.

This is a retarded post.

Lol yea Dooley wasnt very good at career changing games. The QB run isnt a requirement with this offense but it sure helps when you arent one dimensional in your run game, if worley is the starter I would say go back to a power set. Another thing that concerns people about worley is arm strength but dobbs didnt exactly have that either. And i see people worshiping Ferguson but can anyone on here say theyve seen him play a college snap to make that judgement?

Let's be honest. Worley played one really good half of football against UGA. He looked shaky against SC and we won because Marquez North made three insane catches.

Worley was a good game manager because of his experience, but he played safe a lot. My concern is that he seemed to play scared. He is a decent qb but he has to learn to not play with fear.

Good point OP...imo worley or ferguson wins starting job...too many ints and close calls for ints from dobbs....some folks on here will say yea but dobbs showed improvement in ky game...but they are not taking in consideration that dobbs threw a couple passes that ky missed ints on because they can't catch...I think dobbs will improve tho..just not sure how much. Worley seemed to show improvement with each game...if butch would have taken a gamble and started worley against fla then I think we win that game! jmho GBO!!

Why shouldnt the QB competition be open? What did worley do to reach out and take control over it? The answer nothing because if he did people like you wouldnt have to be on here in december defending him when we are 4 months from spring practice dip sh!t

What he's got to do is become accurate so he can move the chains. He'd be fine if he'd just make the stick throws on those 7 yard slants, 10 yard crosses and 5 yard outs. He missed way too many.

Yes it is. For Butch's offense to be running on all cylinders, at an optimum level, a good running QB is an absolute must. He doesn't have to be Nick Marshall, keeping it on designed qb plays, but he must be efficient and a threat to keep the ball on any of the zone read plays, whether its 2 or 20 times. Defenses must respect the qbs ability/threat to run or the offense will never reach its potential.

. I completely agree, and that goes back to playing scared and lacking confidence. On those plays the defenders are in your face fast which is why you have to get the ball out quick, but he would never step in and he second guessed a lot.

Right now Justin is the most stable qb we have. I just don't see the intagibles in Dobbs...and remember Brent Schaffer could run as well...and he ran himself right out of the program.

In spring, every position is open period. I remember Lewis at one point in spring was listed second, but a lot of that has to do with motivating ur players to tho.

I'll say this for Worley. As shaky as he looked early on, I don't think he was getting a lot of help from his receivers.

What did he do? Well let's see... played a solid half against GA and would've won had Pig not fumbled it away.
Then beat SCjr with no turnovers.
Dobbs lost to Vandy. So it's pretty obvious Worley did something to prove he was better.

Actually, I think it was Schaeffer's brain and a baseball bat; not his legs that caused the problem.

This. Butch even routinely talked about how his receivers were running routes long and short. Not to mention, he got just as many drops as Dobbs did.

But none of this matters. This board will always be madly in love with the QB that's riding the bench. I would bet that had this board been around in the mid 90s, there would be those wanting Peyton benched.

I wouldn't bet on that.
