Wish him the best if this is true. The QB room just got thinner.

I wish he had stayed since no one has taken a live game snap yet. As we've witnessed for 4 years, practice cannot always reveal the best player.

The games kinda revealed he’s not the best player too so what dead horse would you like to keep beating now?

If he is truly 4th on the depth chart I don’t blame him. He wants to play and who can say if his issues weren’t lack of coaching the last few years. Good luck to him if he is leaving.

If he wants to play he needs to go where he can play. Tennessee wasn’t the place for him to play longterm as he was going to be recruited over each year. He filled a spot for his class but wasn’t the answer

The NCAA has made it so these guys can move around without much consequence, so 4th on the QB depth chart will always move on now. No longer a big deal unless the first three get hurt. I think the QBs in this scheme get the ball out though, so let's hope they don't have any freak injuries.

How can you say that and be absolutely sure? The last staff didn’t have a clue. He only got a chance when JG pissed daddy off bad enough

No, of course not. Are we only civil to people who are dead? Or do we treat all humans with respect?

You misspelled gravitas. Should’ve led with “I guess Jesus just needed him a QB! You’re my boy Blue!” 😓

Milton
Hooker
Bailey

in that order most likely.

I don't know about the order of the first two, but I would have one playbook that both my number one and two quarterbacks could execute. I think with Hooker and Milton, you can have that. Not so much with Bailey.

It’s really funny actually. You have 45% defend him, 45% dislike him, and 10% who don’t really care because he wasn’t going to be the starter in their opinion.

Right. Because it is completely hopeless to think a guy might have potential after some of the really good things he did as a Fr. It is only a "dead horse" because folks like you cannot accept that he has talent. It appears that Heupel thinks his energy is better focused on the other 3 at this point. I trust his judgment on that completely... and it still doesn't prove what you just stated. In fact, what you stated is false.

His problem has always been consistency not the "ability" to be the "best player". That "horse" is alive and well.

His problem is purely between the ears not his talent.

Well after listening to Swain I believe he should leave. A lot of gifts but not the maturity to do anything with it.

I've always defended Maurer as I have a lot of Vols and coaches when I thought people were being unfair to them in a way that didn't line up with the facts. But maturity could be part of it. He seems to need some success or affirmation to buoy his confidence. That became a lot harder with the addition of Milton and Hooker.

Harsh, but the only reason BM is a topic of discussion here is because of that long TD pass against Georgia.

Yeah, myself and many others, including the last 25+ coaches the university of Tennessee have paid money to evaluate such things, seem to have a different opinion.

A pacifier, the weight room, some sort of risk assessment and a sports psychologist for starters.
