It is not about burning a red shirt. If Dobbs was good enough he would be playing. This whole idea Jones is "saving players" while the team is losing is nonsense. The best combination of players is currently on the field.
CBJ likes Worley man even though he knows Worley isn't the future.
OP. Wow. Really?
The OLine is having serious issues getting push in the running game and protecting our QB. And that is Worley's fault? I just don't understand that. The OLine is going to develop. They will get better. But, dude. Stop. Justin Worley is the best man for the job. Coaching from the cheap seats is for the birds.
Go back and watch that game and then tell me how many times Worley could have run the ball.
It's true, but only because the coaches decided from day one of spring practice that Worley was the starter. QBs improve by taking reps with the guys they will be on the field with. Peterman apparently got only a handful of first team snaps and Dobbs got none. This is why Worley is playing with more confidence, and therefore better than last year; but his numbers are almost identical to last year, i.e. mediocre. The line DOES make way to many mistakes, but Worley does too.
And, since I keep hearing the "Dobbs is third string so he must be lousy" argument, I'll say: coaches sometimes make mistakes. They have odd biases and pet peeves and, especially at quarterback they don't always play the best guy. Some of them lean toward seniority. Some of them are always looking to stick the young guy in. Some will always go with the guy with the bigger arm. Some always go with the mobile guy. And some seem to use a Ouija board, lots, coin toss or some such.
Nice to see others on the board who know what's really going on.
Just what do you guys think Dobbs will do better than Worley? Have you forgotten how lame he was last year? He couldn't throw or run and that was behind a legitimate Oline.
You'll find out next year.
He wasn't lame our receivers were. He was hitting our guys right in the numbers and they were dropping the balls.
