Reasons why Butch Jones is staying with Worely as the starter.

Johnny Manziel prior to last season was a RS Fr and former 3* recruit that almost no one had ever heard of...

Sometimes a RS can be EXACTLY what a player needs rather than immediate playing time.

So another year of off-season lifting, studying the offense, a spring practice, another fall camp and simply maturing physically and mentally would be worth nothing?

You're mistaken, IMO.

Yea hopefully they get as good as Peterman.

worley is not the guy.

if the coaches believed in worley, they would never have benched him after oregon.

they don't have a viable alternative, at least at the present time.

I disagree. The one and only thing that makes Worley "the guy" is that he is best option they have available.

It seems perfectly reasonable that Peterman presents himself nearly equally well in practice. If the two were close, I can see them giving Peterman a shot. You never really know what you have until you put them in a live game situation. I assume the coaches didn't expect Peterman to respond to live fire the way he did.

As for not playing the Frosh, I don't know how CBJ could state it anymore clearly. He doesn't think they are ready, and it's his call.
