Had zero choice last year, he was the last man standing....apples and oranges imo. Is anybody, anybody really comfortable turning the fate of this season over to Peterman down the stretch? If it's only the Bama game then ok, that's a beat down loss anyway, let Peterman go and get us through that disaster. But we're still in contention for a bowl game after the Bama loss. Peterman is NOT gonna get us the 3 wins we need if Worley somehow can't finish the season.

This year, he's available if needed and he's clearly the better option to get us to 6 wins than Peterman. We have 2 young Qbs coming next year. Dobbs will still have 2 years eligibility remaining with the idea that the 2 young studs coming in next year and Kendall coming in 2016 will be ready to go after his senior year if not before.

UT is gonna need a "decent" (used very lightly) year out of either Dobbs or Peterman next year to at least allow the Fr some room. After that Jones better hope one of those FR are legit.

Dobbs is not that great of a runner.every pass he threw was off .You guys act like he is John Elway.

It's not that Dobbs was great, he wasn't. But in realityville, if Worley can't go then we have 2 choices.....Dobbs or Peterman. Are you really willing to hitch your wagon to Peterman? He may practice better, but Dobbs was about 9 light years better last year on Saturdays than Peterman was. Period. Neither is optimal, but one is much better when the lights come on....Dobbs.

Btw, Dobbs isn't a great runner, but he ripped off a 30+ yd run vs Mizzou, Auburn and Kentucky. He also ran in what should've been the winning td vs Vandy. He's plenty good with his legs to add a dimension to the offense that Worley has refused to except for vs UTC.

Play them all. Barring a miracle, we will get beat anyway. To continue doing the exact same thing and expecting different results is crazy. None of the quarterbacks are future all-pros so pull out all the stops. Use the wildcat with Hurd and even AJ if necessary. Our TEAM is probably not ready to beat Alabama yet anyway so throw the kitchen sink at them. Whoever the quarterback is will not lose the game because our TEAM is probably incapable right now. Peyton gets a bad rap IMHO, because he doesn't win every Super Bowl but he doesn't play 1 vs 11. Even he needs teammates to pull their weight. So do our qb's.

Do you not watch football? Players usually get better with time. Dobbs was less than a year in the system.

Runs like a stiff tree? I'm pretty sure he had longer runs that both Peterman and Worley last year.

Amazing. 38 minutes of playing time and people can determine a players playing career.

Worley has gotten into a bad habit of that at times as well. His last pick vs UF is one that comes to mind quick.

I have disliked the play of all of our QB's. I support all of them playing a quarter and just run wildcat with a rb in the 4th against Bama. That would make a certain loss more entertaining to discuss.

I think the wildcat with Pig and Hurd for about 15 snaps a game would help relieve some pressure on whoever the QB is.

You mean the small windows of throwing to defensive backs and having to let Croom rip it out the UK player's hands? Those small windows?

SMDH. There were plenty of examples but you're hopeless. Lemme ask you this? Why do you hate this kid? Did he pee in your cheerios?

I want all our QBs to succeed.

It's just as simple as he has a crush on the guy who can't even move the ball forward.

Uh not its not. Dobbs came in down 35 when we received 2nd half kickoff. Clinton Dix and Collins and a lot of their starters were off the field.

Dobbs came in when Worley got injured. Not sure but I think it was in the second quarter fairly early on. Don't know what the score was.

Then why are you automatically saying Dobbs Dobbs Dobbs when we have a healthy 2nd stringer that will see the field before Dobbs. The only reason Dobbs is getting reps is because Worley is a no go and we aren't going to risk Peterman getting hurt and not having a back up practice this week. Dobbs does not play unless Nate is not able to go in due to injury. Even if it's 52-0, Nate stays in. Butch made the mistake of listening to the fan base once, he won't do it again.
