Who is our Quaterback next year..

[Mallicoat]

I would like to see Ferguson.. I have not been overly impressed with our Qtb play.

 

[vols_fan_68]

Worley

 

[fade route]

I would like to think that Ferg's arm with another year of learning the offense would catapult him to the 1 slot.

 

[PEPPERJAX]

Most likely Riley Dobbs or Josh Ferguson.

 

[RollerVol]

Dobbs.
GO VOLS!

With Worley, we beat South Carolina (now ranked #6 in the country), without worley, we lost to Vandy, Auburn, Mizzou and barely handled Kentucky.

So I'm going to say this job is Justin's until he graduates -- then we can figure out who's NEXT.

 

[hohenfelsvol]

Don't think even Butch knows until spring ball and maybe even waits until they get into fall practice.

 

[1truevol]

I'll just say that Riley Ferguson will get EVERY opportunity earn the starting spot...and I'll be very surprised if he's not the guy headed into game one.

 

[#16s Dad]

I say who ever works the hardest and does the best in practice.

Practice is where you earn you're playing time or that's what my coaches always told me.

 

[VolFootballlover]

Dobbs.
GO VOLS!

Please Lord no. Let us have a QB who doesn't throw it to the other team every other time we get the ball

I would like to think that Ferg's arm with another year of learning the offense would catapult him to the 1 slot.

Just for arguments sake, what has anyone ever seen out of Ferg to warrant him leading this team? Please do not bring up high school stats and ratings, means nothing. Worley and Peterman were both highly recruited and top prospects, how has that panned out. Now having said this, I would really like to see Ferg become the next great qb for the Vols, however I for one have not written Dobbs off. The kid came in under tough conditions, played through a couple injuries, leg and hand and still showed some positive signs. Regardless of who gets the job, I hope that their is enough talent at qb to force continual competition.

Go Vols!

I'm going by reports I've read from those who have seen all the QBs in practice and scrimmage situations both on here and other media outlets like the Nooga, etc., and most seem to agree that Ferg has the best arm. After watching Dobbs and Worley throw during the year, its clear that neither have the arm strength of a top caliber SEC QB. Dobbs will need serious work on his mechanics to win the job imo.

 

[vol_in_ar]

Probably Worley

 

[oregonvol]

We played three guys. They all looked awful. There's not much reason to conclude the guy who didn't play was any good. I think the real question is not "who will play?" but "can they develop any of these guys?"

 

[butchna]

Wish Charlie High was still here :cray:

 

[OJ]

Based on Ferguson's junior and senior highlights. He's going to light it up.

 

[PineyBluff Vol]

Wish Charlie High was still here :cray:

You mean Charlie Short!

It baffles me that people think Fergy should start or should be in the mix given this year's results to go by. A coin toss away from being 4th string.

It baffles me even more that people don't understand how good Worley was playing. He almost beat Georgia and did beat SCjr and would have beaten Vandy no problem at all.

It's JW unless something crazy happens in the spring.

Ferg was injured. If he wasn't, Dobbs would have never been given the chance.

 

[Volunteer forever]

Based on what I saw this year I would say Worley

 

[VolFootballlover]

Believe this kid ...because he's never been wrong in his life,lol

 

[k-town_king]

Dobbs had passsed him up before the injury. Dobbs out performed him in every game situation. Before Dobbs passed him they were tied. 2a 2b.

Dobbs has the leg up on being the starter.

He started against way better teams than Worley and didn't have the guy (North) who won the SC game and was our only threat for the last two games. Playing better competition than Worley and a true fr to a jr he completed 60 % to 55% and 20 less yards a game.

Comparing him to RF he also has an advantage. He had already passed him up on the depth chart. Every scrimmage or game situation he outplayed him. Now he has the experience edge also. Played well for a true fr against three top five teams. His hs film was also more impressive vs way better comp than RF played.

I wouldn't be surprised if any of the three start though.

Worley was playing well but he has a lower ceiling and less playmaking ability than Dobbs and Fergy IMO, based on what I've read and heard all year long. Worley was the day 1 starter because he understood the offense, could get them in and out of the right/wrong calls and protections..... not because he was a more talented qb with better playmaking ability.

IMHO, it's either Ferguson or Dobbs depending on who shows the better ability to command the offense. I have to believe that with an offseason and another spring and fall camp under their belts, that they separate themselves from Worley based on physical talent. They should close or eliminate the "mental gap" part of the position that Worley had on them this past season.

If Worley beats them out then we know neither of those guys are the right guys to play QB at UT.

Who ever it is I wish just 1 time I could see a over throw on a pass play, Dobbs needs to pump some iron this off season, what kind of arm has Riley got.
