I love the talk of QBs that "fit" into the system but I find it interesting that his last year at UC he benched the QB that "fit" his system and won with a passing QB.  Perhaps the real issue is our QBs?

Clearly Jones will go with the QB that he thinks is the best option, as he proved this year by starting Worley.  That said, it was refreshing to see Dobbs shred the nation's no. 3 defense with his legs, and have a QB that is a running threat in an offense designed to let the QB run, for a change.

As some have said, defenses can now scheme for Dobbs running, but hopefully that will open things up elsewhere.

If nothing else, he can certainly avoid the rush better than Worley and with our OL that is downright essential.

There's a disturbance in the force. I agree with Pirate, Herb, and Creek all at the same time.    Pardon me while I re-evaluate my position on these matters. 
Me too

If he can improve his downfield passing ability, he could really open things up for us.

Yeah, it's not like Worley's vertical passing game has been impressive, unless I missed something.  Not counting Chattanooga, since that nice seam pass at the end of the uga game, I haven't hardly seen Worley throw a thing downfield. 

Good defenses have something to do with it, but....
