What happens to the two QB's that don't become starter or backup?

I think you mean based, unless you're Australian, in which case it sounds the same.

Also, while you're at it, say the phrase "rise us lights" and it sounds like razor blades in an Australian accent.

Depends on who's named the starter.

If Justin Worley is named the starter, everyone else stays put. Peterman is just a red shirt freshman and Dobbs and Ferguson are true freshman. Plenty of time for those guys to win the starting position in future seasons (or this season)

If Peterman is named the starter, I think there's a good chance that Worley transfers to an FCS school. He's a Junior right now and could come in and start right away at a lot of FCS programs. I don't see him being content with being the back up for his entire college career.

If either Freshman is named the starter, I think Worley transfers and Peterman MAY transfer. Though I hesitate to even list this one as an option. I don't see either of the freshmen seriously pushing to be the starter this year.

They will be sacrificed on the 50 yard line to appease the football Gods that have scorned us so...

Why all the backlash on the Dobbs excitement? I don't get why people feel the need to slam the idea that this kid may be the best option on a team with no real experience or stand out talent at the position. Isn't this the time of year to wear orange colored glasses and hope for greatness from unproven guys? Are you going to be proud you were right if this kid is a bust?

There IS real experience AND talent at the position.

Worley was just as well thought of as Dobbs coming out of HS if not more so and a better prospect than Ferguson. IIRC, he was a Gatorade HS player of the year at the QB position. His recruit ratings suffered because his throwing motion was a little odd. His production was nothing short of incredible. He ran a spread offense... faced and beat Clowney's team in HS on the strength of Worley's stat line. Kiffin and Chaney both loved him. He started games as a true Fr. He's now in his 3rd year of development in college football.

Peterman according to Rivals was a better HS prospect than any of the other three. He ran a HS dressed down version of an O very similar to Jones' O. He's probably the fastest of the 4 QB's in question and the most accomplished runner in HS. He's a year+ ahead of the two Fr in college level development.

NONE OF THIS is a disrespect of Dobbs. I think he is a great prospect with a great future... that will probably start in a couple or 3 years at UT.

I admit having limited info on the two Fr in particular. However every video including the recent practice videos I have seen of Ferguson... he shows a fairly average arm. He was consistently throwing low in the video recently posted here. Those were 7 yard button hooks... and he was consistently off target low. He may have a future. It may be at UT... but my guess is that he's the odd man out of this group. And I personally believe that Jones and staff saw this before NSD which caused them to go after Dobbs as hard as they did.

Worley will be the starter for at least the first 2 games, maybe all season. Peterman will see considerable playing time, and probably would get a shot as the starter if Worley doesn't get it done. I see neither freshman being in a game until later in the year , if at all. If either Worley or Peterman gets hurt, then the redshirt may get burned on one of them.

Next year, Worley will be a senior, and Peterman will have 3 years of eligibility left, and the 2 freshmen will most likely still have 4. If anybody transfers, my best guess would be Ferguson, if he doesn't win the job after 2 years in the program.

Nobodys thought of this what if old Worley kicks azz right out of the gate and lights it up, then we can start a tread whats going to happen to DOBBS.

I remember 1 time people saying Todd Helton was better than Peyton and he should be our starter, then to beat that one old BIRD MAN KIPER said in the long run Leaf would be a better QB than Manning, old Leaf still a running last i heard from the LAW.:ermm:

If Worley wins and holds it for 2 years, All 3 will stay for 2 more years and battle again going into their Junior or RS Sophomore years. The losers would probably transfer then.

If Peterman wins I see Worley transferring before or after the season to a FCS program so he'd have 2 years of eligibility. One of the other freshmen would redshirt and the other would be a the backup. (If Worley transfers pre-season.)

If Dobbs or Ferguson wins I could see a scenario where the other 3 transfer eventually. Maybe Worley or Peterman would stay to be a back up, but most kids want to see the field in their college years. The other true freshmen woudl redshirt.

Every year someone here overestimates the "new kid in town's" chances to become an immediate "impact player". Every year, they will write those guys off after they fail to meet those lofty expectations.

Physically, Peterman and Worley are ahead of the freshmen. Stronger arms. Bigger. More muscle development.

Mentally, they understand the pace of CFB vs HSFB. They understand the competition level. The actually have some experience running a CFB level offensive system with CFB level personnel vs CFB level personnel.

EVERYTHING, even the compliments being given to the two Freshmen, reflects them being behind the two returning guys. Peterman was a "playmaker" in FL HSFB. Worley set records at one of the better HSFB programs in the country. I am very high on Dobbs. I am far less confident in the physical talent/potential of Ferguson.

Wow!!! You know bunches and bunches of stuff. Have they already had that open to the public practice and you didn't tell the rest of us? Were you the only one there and that's why you know everything? Poor little'ol me. The only comments I've heard about the QBs from those really in the know (the actual coaches), is that one of the QBs needs to step up and be a leader. But if you got the inside info from your bunches and bunches of sources about who is ahead of who at this point; and for all those sterling reasons you pointed out; well; you can already tell I'm impressed.

That might create an outside chance of Peterman looking around but probably not if the team is winning. If they aren't winning... Peterman probably gets a shot.

I don't think Dobbs will go anywhere. If Worley starts then that actually helps Dobbs get caught up. By the time Worley is out of the way, Peterman and one of the Fr (probably Dobbs) will fight it out... assuming of course they aren't recruited over next year.

Don't really claim to know bunches and bunches of stuff except what is released publicly from as many sources as I can find.... and of course going from being someone that makes stupid statements like the one I responded to to someone who recognizes them.

Which just means I have more experience at this particular thing han you and reason and collate facts "bunches and bunches" better than you.

So the best case scenario is to keep everyone on board at least though the 2014 season... especially since we don't appear to be landing a top QB this year. I think most would agree to this. To that end, you want Worley to win the job, Peterman to back him up, and the 2 freshman to redshirt. I think that is the best case scenario and I think that is what is going to happen because I hope Worley and Peterman are simply better than the 2 freshman. Each one of them were highly recruited so the best thing that could happen is experience and age to win out and all are successful at UT over the course of their careers. Another interesting scenario is if Ferguson beats out Dobbs in year 2 or 3, Dobbs may very well stay put if he is truly attached to the academics side of his life. Seems plausible and would likely benefit UT having 2 gifted options.
