You mean a 10 game season and an offseason? Or just spring practice a full summer and fall camp… either way I’m not happy with Milton but at least add some realistic perspective on the subject. Because Corral also threw almost 11 ints in 2 games. This place would be crucifying Jesus Christ over that if he started the 3rd game.Lane Kiffin taught Corral touch in one offseason.
No, I mean in the off-season prior to the 10-game season. Corral was balling immediately, and was dramatically improved.You mean a 10 game season and an offseason?

What is there to teach, according to Milton after his first game in the interview, he can do it all.Is this teachable? I don't know but I would have set up some kind of high bar in practice for him to throw up and over to help him with this issue. I guess a lot of drop shot practicing??? into buckets or something from multiple distances??
There was hype video before the season started and it showed Milton throwing a long pass for a TD. Not saying it didn't take multiple times to get the shot LOL but he did it and CJH said he's making the passes and plays in practice.
I don't know...may be Milton needs to go see a sports shrink , wearing that Red shirt may be giving him the confidence he needs knowing he won't be hit. Then game time...locks up
No clue but I did see more air under his ball last week game compared to the BG game so I think he's open to learning.
Still think my suggestion to rollout 5-10yrd backwards and then throw fixes his long ball though
Touch can be taught, watched my son at Peyton Manning's camp for 3 years where they hounded touch. While I like Ainge he's wrong on this. Finesse on the other hand can't be taught. You either have it or not. Touch is all about timing and trajectory. Squaring shoulders and keeping your core aligned to target but finesse is the ability to drop the ball in the bucket. Milton has to want to change to get better but I think he has developed too many bad habits to do this. Maybe he can but I won't be holding my breath. Hooker is further along with both and HB well I'll keep my unpopular opinion to myself. Maybe this all works out which I hope does but right now I don't see it. Enlighten me.

Did your son start in high school ? Did he play in college ? If you have an unpopular opinion that you are keeping to yourself - Is that from personal observation ? Or what is the basis of your unpopular opinion - just curious since I feel that you probably know more than most about qb play. Your son of course is going to know more than you do. At least I believe that to be true.
I agree that we should not assume CJH is as stubborn as Pruitt.Disagree, Heupel made a change after 3 games and started Dillon Gabriel for UCF. History doesn’t support your theory at all.
You're right...In reality until the L's turn to W's, it's going to be dissected in every imaginable way. BG doesn't count...that was more the manner of how we made mistakes against much lesser opponent. If we beat Pitt and were up by safe distance when Milton got hurt, it would be more about "hope we get him healthy"Let me get this straight yall are upset with QB the completes 50% and 36 points a game.
But thrilled to death with a 70% completion and 18.5 points a game
Give me 50% and more points....cause eventually it will rise higher

JG was terrible and JG is twice the QB Milton is so far.Unfortunately there seems to be a comparison with Milton and JG. Both are great practice players but cannot transfer it to game day. We just have to hope our new coach is not like Pruitt and be so stubborn he won't bench him when needed. Which may be now.
