Both of the qb's I saw today suck.

I honestly think we could have won today if we had a qb.

Worley did not look all that bad today. Not a superstar but i think he can get us to a bowl game. That should be the focus this year and build on it. We can win 6 games with him as the qb

I know everyone here wants at least a 10 win season but that isn't gonna happen and most of us understand this. We need a few years of real recruiting and coaching. It does take time to build a program.

Worley may have gotten over his fear of turning it over in this game.
Couple of good passes at the end but great defensive plays.
We can only hope.

I don't see us getting 10 wins, and I'm sure most fans don't. but, I think that 6 wins and a bowl game is realistic goal.

Like I have said all along, Worley isn't great by any means, but he's most likely our best option this year. It is what it is.

There's not an SEC level QB on the roster. That's on the previous staff. Our play calls and offense is horrid because of that and that alone.

Is there a decent 6' intramural quarterback on frat row this year? Does he/she have a year of NCAA eligibility left?

Sometimes getting benched is the best thing for a struggling qb. I expect to see worley improve from here. problem is he needs A LOT of improvement for us to be competitive.

10? I'll settle for 6, and that's looking like a minor miracle right now.

Fulmer trusted Ainge (True Freshman) enough to let him start the first game. Ferguson or Dobbs needs to be given a chance. This team has nothing to lose.

I actually think we did find a quarter back today. I think Worley got better today. I think our team got better as the game went on. I think we saw improvement from last week. You are going to continue to see improvement from this team, instead of the implosions we've witnessed the last few years. This team never gave up. The fans may give after this, but this team won't. They pull off an upset or maybe two this year.

I agree if we had a QB I really do believe we would have won the game. This was our chance
to end the eight yr streak. And we couldn't even beat them with a QB that has never even taken a snap.

I think one of the freshman maybe able to get in after we get through these next five games. We're looking at a long painful process though.

People forget bama went through a rough first year when saban got there. Our schedule is just freaking brutal and our fans completely unrealistic. We need to be patient and evaluate once some talent is in place. I know that's not what most want to hear.

I don't think anybody really knows which QB is the answer. Peterman was awful, but a lot of underclassman thrown into the swamp with a lack of playmakers and a lot of very raw talent would do the same. Now that he has that showing under his belt, who is to say he won't settle down and look reliable. Who is to say putting Ferguson into a game setting won't liven up the offense. Same with Dobbs. I hate to go back and forth, but we know what we have with Worley. I would be interested to work in some of the younger QBs to see how they handle the offense. Dual, or in this case potentially a quad QB offense may help us figure out the direction we go in the future. While we are playing to win every game this year, we are looking for gradual and steady improvement as we move to the future. We need to try some different things with the QB's to see who the man is going to be to bring the program back over the next couple of years.

I think it would benefit the offense to go with a dual qb approach. Slowly start working Dobbs in as a run option qb and on some play action plays. If Dobbs starts to produce on the ground and through the air, then he may play himself into the starting position.

CJ Leak, Clausen? Cooter?

Certainly not the freshmen that did start that year. Would Schaeffer be ahead of Ainge in that read option offense? Would Ainge have to transfer?

Point being, if this year is such an admitted rebuilding year, PLAY THE FRESHMAN!

As much as we wanted Peterman to succeed.. it just did not happen. It is Obvious Worley is all we have. Another sad fact is we have recruited Three other QB'S and they have to try to beat a man that has had three years to prepare for this position, and we are still unclear as to whom is the best QB. I have always thought it is not just the QB that wins games but in this case.. if you have nobody that can control the field it is hopeless.

We had every chance to win this game but Team blunders gets in the way. Our routes to tackle are Pathetic! Our Fulmer play calls on Offense are Obvious! We have the Middle of the field to exploit and it has not happened at all. It is obvious we are a lack of talent team. We should not be so critical here and I am at fault already..... my apologies. This is a time to Learn.... it will be a few years before we are relevant again if Jones REMAINS and we gain recruits. 2015!!
