Another Year, another bad decision at QB

[lifeisdeep]

There is no place for logic with this bunch of experts

Anyone trotting out the argument at this point that Bailey is on the bench because of brilliant coaching is not exactly revealing a capacious knowledge of the game of football.

 

[lifeisdeep]

Bailey can’t be put in because if he does then cjh could have a qb controversy

Or it could be that we just have another incompetent coach who doesn't want to be revealed as having been wildly wrong and thus cares more about his pride than the success or failure of the team.

I still think Milton is a stud QB.

Like a male model stud? He blows at qb.

Obviously the coaches don't believe he is their guy so move on

Yes, because fans are supposed to be sheep and accept whatever we're given regardless of how incompetent the coaching decisions behind it.

No.

The offensive scheme from the first to the second quarter of the pit game shows what happens when the play-callers abandon the deep ball because the quarterback can't execute. When Milton got hurt they brought in another one who can't see the field.

Bailey is the only QB that can execute a passing offense. Lets just run the triple option if we keep Milton as our starter.

It's aggravating after watching JG for what seamed like eternity.

We have a serious quarterback problem.

 

[GB987]

How many times did Milton overthrow his receivers? I wasn't counting.

At least 3. I had to get up and take a piss a few times so I probably missed a few

Put him at tight end

Not as bad as what we’ve had the past 3 years

Child please. Watch Bailey on the sidelines and at practice. His teammates don’t even know he’s alive. Kid lives in a shell. Look at his Instagram. Only cares about himself. Can’t hide that from teammates and coaches. Not a leader.

 

[tennesseeduke]

We don’t know if Bailey can, Heupel won’t give him a chance. Could be a reason for it

Best QB is Bailey. Coach has to adjust his coaching style to get the best players on the field not coach how he feels and put players in that fit a system!

There's reaching, and then there's this. Did it ever occur to you that he keeps to himself at this point because he realizes the absurdity and dishonesty of his coach keeping him on the bench for these other two clowns?

Maybe so but he would have 3 TD passes in the 1st quarter and the game would have been over!

If I remember correctly, Hooker got us into the end zone 3 times in the second half. The pick was a big no no, but he definitely moved the ball in the air and with his feet. I liked what I saw from him overall. A couple more starts and he might very well settle down and do the job. If we go back to Milton, get out the life rafts because we’re screwed.

 

[orangemadam]

2 really bad plays that cost us.

Hiatt misses another ball that hit his hand, and Hooker's int..

Agree completely. If Bailey had been the QB, we would probably have been up 21-0 in the first Qtr. Milton is a freak athlete, but he's not an elite QB, maybe not even a serviceable QB. Special teams and D played well enough to win but couldn't overcome dismally poor QB play. I saw enough of Bailey last year to know he gave us the best chance to win this game. The rest of the team and the fans deserve better from the QB position. Milton and Hooker have been given a chance and there is no way Bailey could be worse, so why not give him a shot?

No.

Your wasting time

Not here to argue I'm just curious what you plan to do about it. I may want to help, if it's a good plan.

 

[AlcoVOLic]

I think you’re right. The play calling wasn’t atrocious tho. Poor execution by Oline and skill positions. Really missed Mays and Evans. We also had little slot play when Hyatt went down.


Sometimes (sometimes) you look good losing. This game wasn’t one of them...It was Pitt.....we looked like a sub average team with an abused, beat down fan base.

Hooker looks uncomfortable but embarrassingly better than Milton who is a totally liability at QB. It’s gonna be years till we can compete again. I hope to god it’s this coaching staff that can turn the tides... I do feel better than Pruitt-era football ((Pruitt was an idiot)) but have my doubts. Come on Vols

And yet they kept letting him throw it.

We don't need a different QB, just taller receivers - preferably 8' tall or better.

 

[ventoniof]

True, but still missing the bigger picture that Bailey is and has always been the best an on the roster

Please !!! Bailey couldn’t escape midgets chasing him

 

[ventoniof]

At least JG could throw the deep ball fairly well

BS!!!

 

[ventoniof]

I wish they’d just throw Bailey out there so folks on here would just

He's got one now! Two guys that have not gotten it done and one that looked pretty good last year as a freshman in spite of having an incompetent coach.

With Milton at QB, all the D has to do is play press man-to-man and load the box. Milton can't beat a team deep, so all you have to do is stuff the run and take away the short passes, which is what Pitt did. If you've got a QB that can hit the deep pass (Bailey), the entire field opens up.
