Why Do We Still Not Know A QB? Concerning.

I keep getting some dopey version of this. Do you not realize we play a quality opponent Week 2 against Pitt? Why not make them prepare for all the QBs? They likely have a weak opening opponent as well, so why would CJH help curtail their video study and game prep?

That's some craziness right there.

We prepare for TEAMS not QBs and every other team prepares for our TEAM not our QB.

Like Heupel is going to change his offense radically if it's Bailey or Hooker or Milton. Jeez...... there's not a QB in college football who "makes a difference" in how their opponent prepares for the game.

QB is not the only position on the field. If he announces QB1, then why doesn't he announce all of the starters? Then why doesn't he announce all of the number twos? There's probably still competition at some positions. Some will be situational or rotating.

You SERIOUSLY think Heupel has Milton plays, Hooker plays and Bailey plays a team would need to prepare for?

Of course not.

Yes, I, and most who even tangentially follow football, know that there are specific game plans and plays for QBs with different skill sets.

But you keep doing you. You don’t look ridiculous at all.

Hehehe. The QBs even SAID in their interviews that the playbook wasn't huge, it was simple, Coach Heupel had specific things for them to execute that weren't complex.

Don't be silly. They will each run Coach Heupel's offense with the same plays. You're dreaming.

The REASON Bailey isn't right for this offense is his skill set. Heupel isn't going to change the plays to suit Bailey if he's in or Milton or Hooker.

Some guys EXECUTE the game plan better.

So let’s use your last few sentences. Little analogy time. South Carolina plays us and Clemson every year. Do you think Muschamp liked at JG and Trevor Lawrence and said, well there isn’t much difference between the two so we don’t need to prepare any differently?

No he didn’t. He looked at the skill set of JG and TL and knew he had to prepare differently. QBs have different skill sets. While JHs offense isn’t going to change that dramatically between the 3, it will change because they are different QBs with different strengths and weaknesses.

Kind of hard to imagine you cannot grasp this simple concept.

For starters, I am usually optimistic and still am.

CJH said this morning that “they will announce a starter when they feel like they’ve (QB) earned it.

Why does UT never announce a QB until 10 mins before kickoff? It seems like we are the only team in CFB who never has a clear cut starter.
It never turns out good when we play this game. What is the secret? Are all 3 not that great and you’re just picking at this point? Concerning that at least 1 of the bunch hasn’t stood out.

I hope I am wrong, but it is never good when you don't know who is leading your team, 10 days before kickoff.

How soon we forget that JG was the unchallenged unquestioned starter all off season and we see how that worked… y’all get bored during the off season and start complaining about nothing lol… as many have stated just because the public does not know does not mean CJH and the team do not know… relax GBO

He will most certainly use different plays if Bailey is in.

I know who it’s not and that’s the most important thing to me.

Different TEAMS, yes, as I said.

Heupel's offense isn't going to change per QB.

Dabo's offense wasn't going to change that much if Lawrence was pulled, except in execution.
Pruitt's offense wasn't going to change that much if JG was pulled, except in execution.

Kind of hard to imagine you cannot grasp this simple concept.

That's why Bailey won't be in much. He can't execute the offense Heupel wants to run. It's EXACTLY why Maurer is leaving...... not because Maurer sucks as a QB but because he's not a good fit for this offense.

Joe Burrow didn't leave tOSU because he sucked but because Haskins was better at executing the offense at tOSU.

The coach determines the offense, perhaps, based upon the skillset of QB1 but it's lunacy to have one offense for QB1 and a radically different offense for QB2. There's a lot of guys BESIDES a QB out there. They need consistency so a coach has an offense....... a QB executes that offense.

Lord this fan base 🙄🙄🙄. Can someone please explain why it matters that JH hasn’t announced a starting QB?

I checked WebMD and discovered that a large faction of Vols fans suffer from self-induced paranoia. It's triggered in part by a misguided notion they have to know everything, even more than their coaches know. Also, a rumored factor is that some of them drink a cocktail of bacon grease and Jack. However, one medical expert's diagnosis was simply: "They're Vols fans."

A) why do you need to find an advantage over a 3-7 team?
B) why do you need to find an advantage over a BG team that is 3-14 over 2 years?

If they're (BG) as bad as you seem to think, then it doesn't matter who QB's it's a win and the QB's are still prepping hard for Pitt. He will trot 1 of the 3 out there to start the game and see all 3 if BG is as bad as you and others think. The players subconsciously know who is leading the comp. If you've ever played you just know. Then the coach gets to see them in a real game vs Practice Heisman.

Not to point out the obvious but it really doesn't matter what WE know. All that matters is what the coaches and players know. I promise you, by the time we kickoff against Bowling Green, ALL will know. Before that, knowing or not knowing by us is irrelevant.

Regardless of who is named starter you still need depth, and with the new transfer rules you’ve got to handle these things right. Milton is the starter based on everything we’ve heard. That’s assuming he continues on that trajectory. The reality is you never know how a guy will respond to competition. Someone could bloom at the right time. All this hand wringing is pointless. We’ll have a starter soon enough.

What if we are going to run a set nobody has ever seen in college football? 3 qbs in a wishbone formation or something. The Defense will never know which one to sack and they can lateral it to each other until a receiver comes open.
