We want Joshua

[VOL6479]

I mean Worley is a Red Shirt Junior he should be a lot better than he is. We need to plug another player and get ready for the future. Worley just doesn't have it. He needs to be helping the coaches call in plays because he doesn't have the physical tools to play at a SEC level.

Worley was never redshirted.

 

[friedeggsammich]

Riley is ahead of Dobbs people!!!!!!!

and i assume that its because he is ahead of him at this point. but i guess, like most things on here, that is too much to grasp for some. im glad to see that you understand at least

 

[FLVOL_79]

Worley has the ability , I bet none of the naysayers ever wore cleats

Do soccer and/or golf cleats count?

 

[YorkVol]

With Ally Sheedy?

Yes, yes I would

Young and quirky but not the old and crazy one, amiright?

So you are saying Jones is the wrong coach, correct?

If you think he is this wrong on possibly the most pressing decision facing him... then he cannot be the right coach...

Jones thinks and has said that all 4 QB's have talent. You disagree.

Jones thinks Worley is the most ready QB on the roster. You apparently disagree with that too.

Jones thinks neither of the Fr are ready to be "plugged in". You disagree.

Jones has thoroughly studied Worley's film. He has very likely by now looked at every strip of game and practice film since Worley arrived at UT. He says AND has behaved as if he believes Worley still has alot of untapped potential. You disagree.

But then again... what does Jones know about football and QB's compared to you?

 

[ETNVol]

so they took the 4th string QB to Gainesville instead of the 3rd string?

also do you have a link to the UT travel roster for bama? Would be interested in seeing that

Someone who prefers Dobbs posted that as a possible reason that Ferguson traveled and Dobbs didn't, then a few posters have taken that up as the actual plan of the coaching staff.

 

[sjt18]

hell yes. would be a good reason to watch. maybe at least a little hope

Umm... hope? A team suffering from inexperience at the WR position gets "hope" by adding a Fr QB?

 

[sechamp2012]

Texas A&M knew that johnny football was going to win the heisman. k:

Jamesis and Johnny football were both redshirt freshmen like Peterman they ended up doing a little better than Peterman. Ferg and Dobbs were not EE's and have just been here 3 or 4 months.

looking for any hope bro, no matter how small it is.lol. to me worley is just a loss so there is none with him.

 

[slobberknocker]

With Dobb's frame he would get broken like a synder's pretzel.

 

[seaofORANGE22]

I would love to see Dobbs. I just don't think its gonna happen. If he was ready then he would be playing. He's obviously not. But man I would love to see him and Rajion run the read option.

 

[Freak]

Sorry, can't buy your argument. No UT coaches have reported so much as a single word, so nothing else counts until they actually do. Ferguson goes to Florida and Dobbs to Bama. It's called taking turns.

You have less evidence that the freshman are taking turns than I do that Dobbs was fourth string at the time of the Florida game. If Ferguson doesn't make the Bama trip come back and talk to me.

Because Dobbs didn't make the trip to Florida and every media report has seemingly unanimously agreed that Ferguson has been better in practice, to me, that equates to Dobbs as fourth string.

Regardless, the point was if Jones thought Peterman was the best option, and he failed miserably, I don't see him rolling the dice again anytime soon by starting a quarterback who he perceived to be further down the depth chart than Peterman.

That's my opinion based on what I know. You're free to disagree.

champy... I have been reading your posts for awhile. You're probably a great guy who is far more "hopeful" in real life than you express here. That said.... you are not a poster prone to "look for any hope". You are a top 5 most "glass half empty" poster on this forum.

Worley has improved. He made his best throws of the season last week along with some errors. If the D does its job... it would not have been the big topic here that it has been. In fact, many who are condemning him would be saying that 20/36 for 204 with 2 TD's was "good progress" but that he needed to clean up the INT's.

He and the receivers are improving and having growing pains as they take more chances to make plays.

The D didn't do its job. They preserved the victory with a pick but hardly slowed USA in the second half.

I have intentionally chosen to separate what Worley did from the game's margin. The O should have scored two more TD's... but the D should not have allowed more than 17 pts.

Worley doesn't play D.

 

[thebjd]

Please don't anoint this guy yet. We don't know anything other than high school performance. I really would rather have him be confident and solid down the road and not thrown on the field to play against three top ten teams.

 

[k-town_king]

Butch Jones himself said that Rf going was not because he was ahead of JD. Neither fr were going to play and JD traveled to Oregon. The depth chart tells you all you need to know. RF is not ahead of JD.

Maybe Butch is playing politics. He has his hands full trying to keep these young quarterbacks happy.

Again, I perceive Dobbs to be fourth string because of the reasons I mentioned above. Depth charts released to the public aren't legally binding documents. As I recall, Worley was listed as the starter during Florida week and Peterman started.

My original point stands whether Dobbs is fourth string or co-third string. Both positions are further down the depth chart than Peterman was.

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

The fact that were debating on if he is 3rd or 4th string and in the same thread debating on if he should start is comical.

True.

It's more comical to me that two players who have never taken a college snap are the most popular guys on the team.

 

[VOLINVONORE]

True.

It's more comical to me that two players who have never taken a college snap are the most popular guys on the team.

Not unusual when it is quarterbacks in the discussion. The QBs on the bench are always the bet until they get to play. Then the next one who has not played is the best ,etc..

 

[volsfansince4387]

The second string quarterback didn't get it done so let's give the fourth string guy a shot. Makes sense.

We just got roasted at Florida by a guy who had played 3 downs in 2 years and was only second string due to transfer.

And?

 

[sjt18]

We just got roasted at Florida by a guy who had played 3 downs in 2 years and was only second string due to transfer.

Correct me if I am wrong but isn't that guy a 4th year Junior with two years learning the current system?

 

[orangepit]

The qb for FL state is a redshirt freshman

not, his a true freshman from birmingham, alabama

i can agree with most of that, but i still have little faith in worley. one throw right on the money with a cannon arm. next he is 10 yards off. i would love to see dobbs, atleast for a few mins i would be excited.

 

[DD4ME]

The last sentence is not true.

As to the point, if Worley WAS starting for a team with experienced talent at WR.... he would be in the top 5 of the conference.

Some of the problems are him. Many are because of the WR's. All involved are progressing. They're working their tails off.... while fools throw stones on message boards.

Top five? No way. If what you are saying is accurate then you should instead say that he will be our starter next year because if he were a top 5 QB that's what he'd be.
