putting foreign substance on the glove?

 

[JCVol00]

It was hell

Sitting in the stands that day as he just let the clock run out on the plus side of the field or whatever it was. There was plenty of time too. Whole stadium booing.

Hated that guy man.

Which coach/year are you referring to?

I've seen so many draft people describe Joe Milton as having "prototypical" NFL arm strength. And then you've got people saying he should make the move to tight end.

Joe has top 5 NFL arm strength right now... today. He's not a tight end. I don't personally see him putting it all together to be an NFL QB but it has been weird to see people gloss over his freakish arm talent while pushing AR all the way up the draft boards last year.

AR was as much about ability to escape and be a threat in the run game.

I never understood people thinking AR went high, so regardless of how Joe does his last year, he'd go just as high. They're not that alike. Folks were looking for the next Vick, not Leaf.

I think its interesting. Looks like majority of folks on here think their music sucks, or dont enjoy it.

There, I said it. The Beatles music sucks.

Figured you’d love them after John said they were more popular than Jesus. Just needed a poster of Stalin in the background?

 

[Devo182]

I think AR flopping (as we all knew he would) hurt Joe a bit this year.

wut?

He's been in the league 1 year and was injured and out by week 5.

Twice in 2 days I've seen someone declare a player dead in the water after 1 year. Vol fans should know better.

 

[DD4ME]

She sounds hideous

 

[Vol423]

4 of the other 6 were DE’s. I guess it just depends on if the team has a young QB.

No. It doesn't just depend on that. It depends on that AND on that team not making a trade out of the #1 spot to a team that does need a QB.

Duplicate

Watch them give Sanders the top pick

Give?

Nfl franchises have everything riding on such a pick

But yes SS is a semi-regular favorite, from what I've seen, to be the #1 pick next year. Not new news. Nor is Vegas in the business of handing money away. Just predicting where the GMs

Damn. And I was rooting for them because I thought that was better for us. Friggin cheats.

[Nash_Vol97]

To be fair, if Mullen was the one still developing them maybe they would have been drafted.

 

[VolGee4]

No. It doesn't just depend on that. It depends on that AND on that team not making a trade out of the #1 spot to a team that does need a QB.

Well, sure. But that’s happened like 3 times in 30+ years and twice in the last 22 years.

The Bears did it because they still had a young QB they wanted to see play more, and the Panthers gave up a lot.

 

[Jackcrevol]

We're seemingly on the verge of landing 2 top-10 players. Not sure when the last time (ever) we have done that.

5* wr last year. QBs as follows: 5*, 4*, 5*, potentially another 5* in 2026.

I'd say...we're doing ok Offensive players have shown no reluctancy

Lets roll!

I think it’s because AR was a “true” duel threat. Joe could be but just doesn’t prefer to run. Which to me makes the tight end talk dumb, square peg round hole type of deal. So he’s an incredibly strong, somewhat inaccurate and sometimes entirely misguided, arm. That doesn’t do much in the NFL (see Jamarcus Russell). It took a qb whisperer in huepel to make him serviceable for us. It will take that and then some to have him able to read NFL defenses and learn how to tweak his drop back and delivery to deliver a timely and catchable ball. Odds not in his favor but hope for the best for him. He was clearly a joy to be around here and hope he can work his way into sticking around the nfl for a bit (and save his money if he’s smart).

Gotcha makes sense.

Here's one for you fascists.

How does Hitler tie his shoes?

With little knotsis.

 

[vol_in_ga]

Excited for him. Was clearly talented based on the stops he was at. Put it together his last year. NFL coaching should do him some favors. Hopefully he can build a solid career.

Pearce value

Weak qb class. Beck the only one I’d consider capable of top 5 pick. I guess allar and dart have the tools but I don’t trust them to be graded high enough on everything else to make them a top 5 pick. Maybe why so many went so high this year. If I were a betting man, which luckily I’m not, beck/hunter/pearce are the ones I’m eyeing from that group. Though personally I think it’s quite likely it ends up being an OT not currently on that list.

 

[vol_in_ga]

Well that’s 40 seconds of my life I’ll never get back

Lady Vols mafia to call for Kim’s immediate firing now that Candace is available

Lady Vols mafia to call for Kim’s immediate firing now that Candace is available

I think we made the right call.

 

[knoxvol52]

Candace has her career lined up in Television.

She will eventually take over one of the spots on TNT pre game show.

Barkley retires in a couple of years imo or Kenny Smith. Shaq making the free money he isn't going anywhere.
