will be named as early as late Thursday evening but most likely Friday morning.

I attended a speaking engagement this morning at the new Anderson Training Complex and Bob Kesling straight up asked him when he'll name the starting QB and he said that the guys are getting two days of rest (today and tomorrow) and they have practice Thursday, evaluate the tape and name the starter shortly after.

In an off topic observation of the new complex... it's really nice... my fav. part is the stadium seating auditorium/team room. the screen is massive.. while we were in there... they had a video of practice looping on the big screen... they were doing ol/dl 1-on-1's and I just so happen to see the battle between Big Dan and an O-lineman... i couldn’t tell who it was but whoever is was got ran over... I would say it was maybe Fulton or Stone (surely not Tiny...?) anyway Big Dan had this guy on ice skates for about 20 yards before throwing the poor chap to the ground :yikes: :clap: as the entire defense proceeded to jump on him in excitement as the o-line licked their wounds as they peeled their guy off the field. cool story bro, I know. :cool:

Do we have any QB prospects in the 14 class?

I'm growing tired of these shiny new things.

It'll be Worley, unfortunately.

I think I'm now wanting to see this turn out like the year we all thought CJ Leak would be the starter. Shortly before that UNLV game, Fulmer announced the two freshmen would be "starters". We all think it's going to be Worley, but I think if it was going to be Worley, he would have wont he job before a week until kickoff.

Peterman will definitely get snaps at the first game. It will be interesting to see if he lets either Freshman play any. If he does that contest is wide open. I mentioned in the controversy thread Butch played 3 qb's in 2011.

That is an entertaining idea. Leak was outplaying everyone one up to that point. I think a large part of him not starting instead of Ainge and Schaeffer was that Leak's dad had really ticked Fulmer off and he had enough of that family, so he rolled the dice with the freshmen.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I'd rather have a QB that's never taken college snaps as my starting QB.

A boy has to become a man sooner or later. If he's pretty even with Worley, let him start. He'll be better for it the last 4 games of the season, which will decide if we go to a bowl or not.

Based on this theory Peyton Manning should have never, never entered a game ever.

What the hell do you mean?

No freshmen has ever started anywhere for any college team at any school ever.

If a freshman were to start the first two games would that qualify for playing in college games and give them experience.

This is just stupid...........

Based on your theory you are comparing Peterman, Dobbs, and Ferguson to Peyton Manning as a freshman. Now that is just stupid. Peyton did not start the very first collegiate game of his career. The other QB's in front of him either were injured or just couldn't get it done. So, I'm not saying Worley will be the starter the whole season but he will start against AP.

another irrational and illogical scenario is this:

A mother once told her children to not go in the water until they learned how to swim.............

uummmmm....how do you learn how to swim without going IN the water??

Foolishness.........

nah, nope, no. I'm not comparing anyone to Manning. I simply used Manning as an example. He stood on the sidelines until he started by default. What does it matter if it is game 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 when it happens? Never playing means never playing.. Moreover; my point is that it isn't as rare as you may think for Freshmen start at QB from day one. Be that as it may, I feel Worley will be the starter too. But, your initial comment was irrational.
