Worley has not hit a wide receiver in stride yet this year.

We knew coming into the year we would rely heavily on the OL and RB, but Worley throws the way he has the first two games against quality defenses he'll average more complete passes to the other team than ours.


Yeah he did. Did you not see him nail passes to Josh Smith and Johnathan Johnson? He even turned them into bullets instead of the limp passes he'd been throwing earlier.

He ain't great right now but he's serviceable and very good with short passing and should improve. If he doesn't improve on that (and part of it is also on our receivers catching balls they should catch and running better routes) then yeah, he's going to be in trouble when he makes the big throws. It's obvious Worley is a timing QB right now rather than one who is improvisational (he needs to get better at getting the ball there when the timing is off or the route out of sync). But oddly enough, he's great at some of the harder throws for QBs but not so great at the long ones. Hopefully, he gets better sooner rather than later but he does have some skills and knows how to manage the game.

Remember, despite Bray being coached by Doolz and being too stubborn and immature to do more than rely on his arm, he's probably the most talented QB arm-wise we've ever had (at least since Peyton). Worley, any QB really, is going to look awful compared to that, especially during the growing pains.

Peterman looked awful during the AP game. So for now, Worley's our man.
