You may be able to pay a fee to break the lease.

I wonder how much that would be.

Take care of your grandmother bud. If your girlfriend has an issue with that, she's probably not a keeper.

I can see her issue with it. I wouldn’t want to give up my independence to live with her grandmother. I would just pay for the apartment so she can stay there and I’ll come by when I’m not watching her, but I can’t afford it. I quit working full time and went to a make my own hours schedule with my school district so I can focus on her health, and that will definitely make where I live now irrational to keep paying for.

Does your confidence in us go up or down if Milton starts over Hooker? We know where Bass will be on this. Does anyone feel worse?

I'm honestly just neutral. I think Hooker has played fairly well, but I can see the argument for stretching the field.

Ultimately, HH feels like the safe option. Milton is a boom/bust outcome imo, but jeez the confidence they have him. I want to believe he's just a snap away, but I have to see it first.

My confidence is not high no matter who starts. However; the only chance we have is to make chunk plays down the field. One QB gives us a better chance of that. But if he’s still missing, play Hooker and hope we can find a run game

No difference in my confidence level. Either guy we go with is in for a long day most likely. HH, despite the two lost fumbles and interception, seems like the more consistent player to this point. Plus, he's shown the ability to turn broken plays into big plays with his running ability.

I also understand and agree that Milton has more potential to stretch the field because of his arm strength, but outside of the jump ball pass to Tillman, he's not really shown he can connect on downfield throws any better than HH. Still, the high ceiling is probably tough for a quarterbacks guy like Heupel to go away from. All that to say, neither are great choices. Both have shortcomings. I would go with Hooker, but I see the rationale behind going with Milton.

We'll see if it happens or not, but it feels like Tennessee needs to have the quarterback situation settled coming out of Gainesville. Missouri and SC are both tough but winnable games. Winning them will be a lot harder if we go into them without some certainty at quarterback.

Because he can launch the ball 500 million light years downfield and if he can connect it makes it hard for Florida to stack the box and play man to man.

I'm not convinced our OL will give the WR's time to get far enough downfield for Milton to launch it, and we might be better served to dink and dunk it quickly and use YAC for big plays with fast receivers.

Milton played terribly against Pitt and that was the only decent team we have played. And he is still throwing for 50% and overthrowing everything. Stats and play on the field show who is better.

I'm not for either one strongly. Im good with whatever the coach decides. I'll personally take overthrows over turnovers every day of the week though. Now if Hooker cleans that up, yeah I would probably lean him. But our offense also runs a fraction of it's intended pace with Hooker in, whereas it's fast with Milton. Dunno how much that matters ultimately. Just an observation.

It goes down for me a little tbh. As mentioned just a second ago, I think our big plays in the receiving game are going to have to come from YAC, not throwing yard. Simply because I'm afraid Florida's DL is going to give our OL a rough time.

Hooker is the safe option because he's a veteran and you basically know what you're getting (turnovers expected). He's not going to win us the game imo. Game-winning will have to come off big plays on D/ST and a WR or RB making a huge play.

With Milton, I just don't know what I'm getting. He's Boom or Bust... in theory. At least JG had some boom games. I haven't seen Milton have a boom game.

Personal request for advice here. Keep in mind I’m 25, and my girlfriend is 23.

My grandma needs 24/7 care now so i might have to move in with her since I’m the only one out of her 4 kids and 10 grand kids willing to help her. Do you think they will let me out of my lease to live with her for medical circumstances? My girlfriend and honestly my primary concern is our sex life disappearing and that would put a strain on us for sure.. but at this point I’d rather the ole lady get fed up and leave than not do everything I can to keep my grandmother alive as long as possible.

Get married, that will solve the sex thing.

Oh yeah I know someone said the line was responsible for Milton being injured but it was actually Wright. Wright stepped up into the wrong hole and completely let the defender come untouched.
