Well, you have told me something I had not heard.

And yet, I've never seen anyone receive the snap with just one hand, and almost always both hands are on the ball while dropping back to pass or on a pitchout, and handoffs might involve either hand. If he had trouble with any of this, whether game or practice ... I could see him getting replaced by somebody else.

I'm not really good at grabbing pics from the internet but you can Google and see him in a big cast on his left arm.

Yeah, because he's a big guy with good sized hands, controlling the snap should've been pretty reasonable but the MI line sucked and he spent a bit of time tucking it, needing to secure it, etc.

To be honest, he made some lousy plays at MI that can't be pinned on anyone but him. I liked that in the interview he said he wished some of his play wasn't on tape, but it is, and he isn't going to run from his mistakes. I'm not asking for a perfect QB or team but I think Joe Milton realizes if he is going to play on Sundays, TN is where he'll have to show he's ready.

What I think, is that we're going to get two magical years of QB play that we'll never forget...

Some people are so beaten down by the last 15 years of Tennessee football, hey are afraid to even think about us having a good football team. From what I have seen and heard, I think we will win 7 games this year, have a good recruiting class this Fall and a really good recruiting class next Fall. Don't be afraid to believe!

Remind me of that time period we dominated Florida. Remember, we’re talking football….not another sport

Nationdom may be talking about 1916-1953 when we were 10-0 against FL (13-2 from 1916 - 1971). Unfortunately, since the 1971 win, we are 7-28. We did win 3 out of 4 from 2001-2004.

Well dang go ahead and name Milton starter so I can get myself up for this season. This QB situation has been really stressful and I am just ready to see it end hopefully it's the last one we have to deal with for awhile. GO VOLS

I'm all for Bailey if he's the best, but all other things being equal, there's no doubt an intimidation angle for trotting out a 6-5 245 lb QB who has a rifle arm and threat to run to be accounted for...almost same height and weight of Cam Newton.

You could also add Jalen Hurts, Baker Mayfield, Kyler Murray and some others I can't think of......Sometimes guys just need to find the right fit for them to shine......Every QB CJH has had have put up numbers the guy knows what he is doing

Which is why I'm not terribly worried about doubting the starter he goes with. I've been thinking it's Bailey but it seems if it's Milton he'd have earned the start. This offense doesn't work without an accurate QB. We are definitely flying under the radar...absolutely no one outside of Vol fandom sees our ceiling over 5-6 wins.

Explain what him being excited about JG has anything to do with being excited about Milton.

For me it means he probably wouldn’t make a good coach. Can’t evaluate talent. However I hope it means nothing and that Milton goes into the records books, as one of the best ever at Tenn

Let’s temper expectations guys. I’m eager to see what this team does this season just like all of you. But don’t buy into the “the culture is changed” speech. I see a step in the right direction. A STEP! What does this team do when faced with adversity? How do they handle success. EA talked up JG aswell. Now from everything else I read JG looked like Peyton Manning in practice. That’s from other media outlets. You are supposed to play how you practice. We seen flashes of it over the years with JG but once the tuff got goin JG checked out. Hopefully Milton can truly lead his team to a competitive season.
