I saw that as a Worthy problem as much as a QE problem. Worthy quit on routes, refused to extend for passes he could have caught. I threw things at my TV over this guy.

If he's the best we have, we're in trouble.

He dropped a lot of passes and can’t track a deep ball well.

Trevor Lawrence was raw first year freshman,yes had good D but not offense. Lawrence had 65 % completion rate that hid no threat of run. QE had all American RB,promising TE,all American WR comin back,Worthy got frustrated  he was overthrown so much. Should just said QE was shell shocked by Bama and was never same. 

That offense Lawrence led had a first team all American RB and ACC player of the year, veteran OL, WRs that all made the NFL (Higgins, Ross, Renfrow, Rodgers).   Lawrence also didn’t start right away and eased in the first few games.  They also yes had an amazing defense.

QE3 had lots of talent around him but a lot of youth on the Oline.  That did not help.  I don’t think Lawrence does as good either on last years texas team  but he’d be much better than QE3 in some of the games.

 

let’s face it back then Clemson was a machine.   Texas is still struggling to get back and learn how to win.   Let’s hope 2023 is the big leap.

Worthy didn't seem to have those issues as a freshman. It's hard to know what happened,  after his freshman year Sark raved about his work ethic and his striving to always improve. I don't know if it was a mental or physical issue, but hopefully he will be able to get back on track as a under coach Jackson.

There was two things different for Worthy. coach and QB.

2 things that you can easily identify.

He was coming off a successful freshman campaign which much bigger expectations then he faced as a freshman.  It could be that he ate too much rat poison,  or was listening to a fat girl friend telling him how great he was. He may have had personal challenges that we have no window on. 

It's easy to think you know what the likely reason(s) are, maybe the QB or the coach were significant factors,  but maybe not.

[Eastexhorn]

Soph. slump, do not like getting hit, mad at the coach, just doesent care, All and many more reasons why he regressed.

I see where some are saying Worthy was fighting through a broken hand last season. Anyone else hear this?

I guess a broken hand could make it hard to adjust your route?

[Billybass]

No cast for a broken hand ?

I agree.....sounds like excuse making to me. I just wondered if anyone else saw this.

I did hear about that too. I believe it was all based off of some comment made by Brennon Marion on a social media post saying something negative about Worthy.

Or it could have been he was frustrated  running down field for almost every deep ball and being overthrown  continually.

Looks like Worthy caught a lot of passes for a lot of yards, and TDs.

Where's the Career Drops? The Career Rout Give Ups?

You can see his actual stats in the below link. You can see he regressed last year in every category. So thank God for his Freshman year or you probably wouldn't have wanted to post this.

He has had his share of drops. As for as route runing how can one tell with  out the playbook.

Still only two known differences Coach (now gone) and QB.

[Billybass]

He’s gonna be alright, you’ll see

So you're attributing his failures to outside factors, not on him. Interesting. Not.

If I were QE, I'd find a couple other targets who will do what they're coached to do in case Hollywood decides to continue his 2022 ways.

I think we're going to see marked improvement with the chemistry between QE and X. As long as QE stays healthy, that's when things went sideways, after his injury.
