if worley gets hurt,i can say we will have a good back up waiting,thers something about peterman sticks out.
between worley and peterman wes which 1 can run and pick yards up instead of throwing the ball to the head coach?
alot of times last season if bray would have just tried to run the ball instead of throwing mile out bounds,he could have picked up yards. thanks wes

How many career rushing yards did Bray have? I'm willing to bet 8.

I guess Worleys 1 TD was the Pick 6 at Vandy?

I thought the same thing looking at the pic!

Little mistake in the article. Dobbs is not from Lassiter HS in Marietta. He's from Alpharetta HS in Alpharetta. Coincidentally while reading this and thing about Worley I thought of Georgia's backup Hutson Mason who is from Lassiter. He and Worley both played in offenses where they slung it all over the field out of the shotgun and set all kind of passing records. Neither has had an opportunity yet. Interested to see if they pan out in the SEC. Another similarity was they weren't recruited heavily by the instate school. If I recall Spurrier didn't offer Worley. And richt didn't come to the table for Mason until the 11th hour. We'll see. Go vols!

Yes, slytyger, I noticed it immediately. And both from the same area in Florida. Four guys on scholarship will be on this team next Fall who can play QB with anyone. That's almost a sin of plenty. Redshirt Ferguson. Dobbs will graduate as a junior when Ferguson will be a redshirt soph and Ferguson will have the team for his Junior and Senior years. Patience guys and injuries could make it happen sooner. I remember two QB's going down in the same game, I believe against Florida, and a young freshman named Payton Manning took the wheel and never gave it up. The second of the two QB's that got hurt that game went on to become a perenial Baseball All-Star for the Colorado Rockies, Todd Helton.

Anyone think we will see a 2 QB system like we did with Ainge and Brent Schaffer (I think I spelled that right lol)? Either it be with Worley/Peterman, Worley/Dobbs or Peterman/Dobbs? I don't think it would be with Peterman/Dobbs because they have the same skill set but just throwing that out there. Do y'all think Ferguson could see some playing time if we went with a 2 QB system?

my thoughts exactly.. I dont like rooting against Worley, i like him, seems like a good kid with a good head on his shoulders, but it would be nice to get a guy who can make some plays with his feet. I just think the way the game is played and officiated now, teams with athletic, mobile quarterbacks are so much more difficult to defend. And it's not like Peterman doesnt have an arm..

I hope we don't have a 2 QB system. We need a full time leader at QB that has command of the offense. Like Wes said, hopefully one or both of these guys will step up and earn the starting job. I personally think that both are going to put on a great show this spring and make it tough for the coaches to choose their number 1 guy. They both seems like really hard workers and smart young men.

I have faith that the coaches will find the QB to give the team the greatest chance of success. I am guessing that Peterman and Worley enter spring neck and neck. I know Peterman has zero game experience; so Worley has the edge there. But Peterman can sling the ball and is more mobile; so he has the edge there. It will be interesting to see who can bring the most complete skillset to the table.
Vols!!
