Dooley needs to play the best player, whoever that is Worley or Simms.
Redshirt is a good idea, if you don't need the player but why redshirt a player if it is hurting the team?

Except it's not hurting the team to use the redshirt here.

This isn't like he announced something like "bray/Worley/whoever should sit because he's the best player we have, end of story"

Worley needs the redshirt, let him learn while be have people in front of him. Can't say he would do ANY better than Simms. He hasn't played. He VERY well possibly could have done way better. Who knows? Let him continue to learn and be redshirted. I would like to see Nash Nance though.

If Dooley put in Worley, there would be a topic started about how Dooley should be fired because he burned Worley's redshirt. ***** about everything won't ya?

You think Bray would have been worse this year if he had played every game last year?

Of course not. But he sure as he!! wouldn't have been any better, point is he could have been worse if he had spent the first 6 games getting killed. Anyway our situation is somewhat different this year. I have been thinking about this however since I posted earlier, and I don't know if I feel the same as I did. Seeing how Bray getting potentially injured is always just a bad play away, it may be better if Worley goes ahead and gets a trial by fire now, as long as it wouldn't kill his confidence. On the other hand if he comes in and performs anything like Bray did last year, what would happen then? Would Worley be content just sitting there for 2 years being the backup? Ehh..it's all just hypothetical anyway.:thumbsup:

While Simms made some bad plays, he knows and understands the offense. Worley has never played a snap. You don't want to do that against bama. Why risk it? Worley may and may not be the answer, but it's not worth the risk for just a few games.

No qb has lasted 4 qtrs. against bama yet. We still redshirt, its a marithon not a sprint. Kiffin shucked players and then left the bench bare right with or without Dooley we are better in the future for it! He won't screw the school next year for a couple wins this year.

He'll be second string next year. Doubt he will be able to redshirt at all in the future.

You never know if Peterman can come in and wow coaches you never know who the backup will be. Most likely Worley but who knows.

In a word, Hellno. It would be crazy to start him. No experience, ruin a potential redshirt year with no better (and I'd say worse) chance to win than with Simms in.

Simms is going to be the guy because he has playing experience and knows the offense better. Worley could be the better quarterback, but if we put him in against Bama you wouldn't know because they would tear him apart. As much as some of you hate to hear it, Simms is the starter unless he gets hurt.

Keep Simms in.. As terrible as he is, Worley needs to stay redshirted. No reason to burn it and waste his year. Not really fair to him. We have Nance we can play also.

ALL this redshirt business is moot- what qb's need are snaps and experience. Bray is not going to make it to his senior year IMHO. He is just too good and will go pro. Worley is the heir apparent. However QB's at the SEC level are always a gamble. Find out if he has the Bray-juice or not. He will make mistakes like Bray did- but you could see that Bray was on the next level even in his mistakes last year. Let's find out with Worley

Shoot- for an ironic example, just look at LSU's Lee- his freshman year he was AWFUL- however, I think those snaps he took groomed him for his chance this year. He seems like a solid QB now (not elite- but good). If Worley is in the same category as Bray, this could be valuable experience for him.
Besides, I would not mind having a QB controversy when Bray comes back. It could not hurt in recruiting or keeping the team together
either. Simms can NOT go thru progressions. He missed so many blown coverages it made me sick. I like the kid but he just does not have "it."

Pretty stupid. If you think there would be a QB controversy between Bray and Worley. Freshman vs Soph with no game experience....OMG.

It would be dumb to burn his redshirt. Save it & let him backup Bray next year & get some PT in games that doesn't matter on our way to the SEC championship.

I saw Auburn play three quarterbacks against Florida yesterday. None were Tyler Brays but each had their strengths and weaknesses. Their first string guy was awful. The freshman running gb was OK and they put in the third string guy and things came together and they won. Florida did not scroe a touchdown the whole night. I bet the 3rd string guy plays against LSU this week. We will need someone ready to play at Alabama next Saturday. I will be there but will be crossing all fingers and toes that we don't get too many people hurt. Dooley will get the depth back you just wait and see....He started with little to nothing and is building us a winner...Patience is a virtue and we need to have a lot of it for a while.

I get all the "support Simms! Stay positive"...look yeah supporting him is good and junk but he's just no good. I hope the guy does good in life but when it comes to games...screw it. He's not accurate, he freaks out too much, and he throws too many interceptions.

I say play the QB that gives us the best chance to beat Alabama next week. If that burns the kids red shirt so be it. Noone nows whats gonna happen next year. Bray could go down with an injury the first game next year(heaven fobid) then everyone would wish he had a little game time experiance. PLAY TO WIN TODAY! If Bray looks even better next year as he does this year whos to say he doesnt go to the NFL F***k a redshirt

Please join us in reality. There is no QB on the roster (including Bray) that gives us a chance to beat Bama this year. No matter how much cyber ink we spend discussing it we win 6-7 games this season.. period. I don't get it why people get all bent out of shape when we lose games we are supposed to lose.

CDD has not lost to a team we were supposed to beat in his tenure. In his time he has done the best he can with what he has. We play good teams a lot better than we should and then depth catches up to us in the second half.

Simms is the logical choice to start. Trust in the fact if Worley was playing better than Simms he would be playing but he aint so he aint. Dolley has a track record of playing guys he thinks should be playing. The fact DY is getting offensive touches is proof of that. The fact Bray played last year is proof of that.

I am with everyone in the "support Simms" and it's a good story, blah blah blah. But the guy is just NO GOOD!! Put in Devrin Young at QB for all I care! Nobody can be worse than Simms. I don't mind losing games, but I just can't watch Simms play anymore. It's sooooo painful! Please give someone else a chance. He can't do WORSE!

He potentially gives us a better chance to win than Matt Simms. The kid's got the heart of a lion, but he can't lead an SEC team to victory against a quality opponent. Why not take a chance.

This would be one of the dumbest things we could do. Thank God you are not our coach. We would burn his redshirt for a guarenteed losses against Alabama and Arkansas. The only game which might make a difference is against South Carolina but still we haven't seen the guy play yet and you are calling for him to start. Not only that, but Bray should be back by the time we are playing Vandy and Kentucky. Burning his redshirt is just retarded. We would waste a year of eligibility. Your knowledge of football strategy is beyond retarded. Also, Janzen Jackson got kicked off the team, why do you have him as your avatar, or did you even know he was on the team any more?

I want to know what people here have seen from Worley that tells you he's better than Simms right now? Zero. The only time anyone other than the coaching staff has seen Worley play is the spring game, and he wasn't better.

The potential to redshirt is NOT the primary reason Simms is playing over Worley. The coaches watch practice, message board posters do not.
