Worley quote is telling

You are right on. Even if we brought Dobbs in for 1 series a game, then our opponents would have to spend part of their practice time devoted to stopping his running capabilities. Now all our opponents have to work on is Worley-->and that doesn't take too long.

I agree burn the redshirt - there are other QBs coming in next season -- does one really think they will be content sitting for 3 years

My thoughts exactly. If QD or JJ aren't SEC ready than Dobbs by their junior season (or Austin Kendall by his soph yr), which would be Dobbs's last year if we were to burn his redshirt, then they never will be, and we're in trouble.

I'm not saying Dobbs will come in and play better than Worley, but it's worth a shot. I'd rather burn his redshirt than let Peterman touch the ball again.

Dobbs came in and played better than worley last year, yet a lot of folks still wanted worley as the starter so Butch gave it to you.

WORLEY: They did a great job of disguising everything the ran. The made it hard on us.

I think he has said this after most every game this year. Makes me wonder if he has trouble recognizing coverage schemes or he's not getting the coaching he needs from Coach Jake to do so.

He's doing his best to not throw his o-line under the bus mid-season.

"Its not our o-line's fault, they just played good defense"

No redshirt is worth more than a few wins.

Butch needs to walk the walk. Hugh Freeze had a lot less talent and did a lot more with it in his 2nd year.

Those at the 2013 spring game saw how bad our Qb play was and 1.5 years later we are no better. None. We failed to recruit jc olineman who can actually play. We are pretty good everywhere else. Our rebuild time is based on getting a real Qb. When we do we will be good. Until then we will not. Jones failed to reel one in last recruiting class.

Can't see and read the field, only good on short timed routes... need to stick with what he is good at and avoid making him something he isn't.

Go Vols!!

With that O Line, Peyton Manning would not have been able to beat Ole Miss

You are wrong my friend...Peyton got rid of the ball on an average of 1.8 to 2.3 seconds and delivered the ball on time on short routes(which is why his receivers was able to make good plays).

Worley hangs on the ball way to long and delivers the short routes late and/or a harder ball to catch.

Bottom Line is Worley hangs onto the ball 3 to 4 seconds. The OL is only solid for 2.8 seconds. 3 to 4 seconds the line is already broken up.

Just speaking the facts of our current situation. If you watch Bryce Petty of Baylor, his line isn't really any better, what makes him so good is he throws the ball with air and allows his WR to do there job. If Worley could do that and our WR run the correct route the catchable ball will be delivered to there route as they make the cut. That is where Peyton was a genius, he hit his WR as they made there cuts/turns.

Will Butch have the type QB next year to fit his system?
Next year will be his 3rd and it would indeed be nice to know he is getting the type QB for whatever the name of his so called offense will need.....or will next year quickly become the year after next?

In your opinion, you claim it as if it is a fact as most do on here. Fact is Worley is just not very good playing behind an even worse line, not a good combination.

The most mobile out of the group. About like Dobbs id say. The competition he plays is meh. I think they play Hoover. That'll show all we need to know.

Most mobile of the group? Most people are recruiting him at WR or Safety so he's fast enough

Worley does not throw the deep ball well at all. He does not have an arm to do that. all of his deep balls have been short and been either broken up or intercepted. his decision making is not good at all.. he does not run when he needs to and he holds on to the ball too long. He STILL does not throw the ball away to avoid taking the loss. Tennessee will need a more mobile QB if the line can't hold it's blocks because Worley is not getting it done.

I think Dobbs has done well the times I have seen him on the field.. he certainly ran the read option better than worley... we need a QB who will run the ball at times to take some of the pressure off.

Burning Dobbs redshirt for two wins this year is insane! We need Dobbs in 2016 when we can go into double digits with wins. Redshirting Dobbs now is going go gain us atleast 4-5 wins in 2016. You cannot rely on redshirt freshmen to come in. Winston and Manziel are unique cases. This is exactly like business, do you trade 2 or 3 wins right now for 6 in the future? I don't think so.

I don't care if he's redshirted or not; he's not a better option than Worley.

I believe that dobbs had more rushing yards than worley and his arm is just as good if not better. If he is more mobile and IS able to run the read option, he is DEFINITELY better option than Worley.:zeitung_lesen:

False. Peyton would carve up that defense so badly they would be jumping off-side every other time after he would establish the rules of the game on the first couple of series - Peyton would make sure receivers and TE's are running the proper routes and he would not need 10 seconds of protection to get rid of the ball because everyone is clueless in terms of where they are supposed to be. But then again, Peyton is the best QB to ever play the game and also one of the best OC's of all time, while our current OC is a bearcat.
That's all.

I know I jump on Justin quite often on here. Last night I was watching some of the replay and I just wanted to iso on Justin to see what I thought might be his problem. Yes I have coached. His biggest problem Justin has (imo) is his footwork. By that I mean Justin does not respond to what the line is giving him at a particular moment. Numerous occasions I watched replay of him not stepping up in to the protection he had. Granted the protection was not there for a very long time. He continually tried to avoid the rush moving in the wrong direction.

Worley playing very subpar now.. Peterman can run .never given game time reps since Florida last year...with Worley or Peterman Tennessee record
probably the same.. Worley makes mistakes every game...poor offensive line plus Worley mistakes = no touchdowns..try running the quarterback and run the ball more. The defense is fantastic. Offense horrible.. Must try something different..big question ..will Jones burn Dobbs redshirt?

Early in the season I had thought he was navigating the pocket very well. Avoiding the rush stepping up and making the throws. It seems like now that despite his words he has lost faith in the OLine and starts to panic instead of navigating the pocket like he should. Of course he has taken a lot of hits I would imagine that is playing into it.

Dobbs came to UT to play, not to sit.... I agree we have QBs coming in next season. Put him in and he still has two more years.... what are we waiting for? We can't throw bombs down field anyway(no time), so Dobbs just needs to stay mobile to give our WRs another second or two to hit those 10-15 yd routes, which he can connect on easily.... DO IT

Not saying Freeze is or is not a better coach but have to disagree with the "Freeze had a lot less talent" remark.
Wouldn't pull RS on Dobbs either. :hi:
