Been thinking about Hooker

...and how she done me wrong...

I've been taking engagement farming lesson from VolTwitter.

VolX.

 

[peaygolf]

I think about them often?

Don't know about the Heisman, but that Sampson wasn't even a finalist for the Doak Walker award is a travesty.

Sampson should have came back.

I totally agree with you. Hendon statistically put together the best season we have ever seen from a Vol QB. That’s not up for debate. The injury killed his momentum. Daniels won the Heisman last year without any sort of championship, and Hendon’s team in 2022 was more successful than Kelly last year.

Daniels had almost 5000 yards of offense and 50 TDs in just 12 games. As great as Hooker was, he wasn’t in that stratosphere statistically. Those insane stats from Daniels made up for the one game difference in record.

I think I know where this is going. You want to know whether you should tip huh?

I'm not sure he could raise his draft stock very much, no matter what kind of stats he has next season. Couple that with the real risk of injury making his draft stock go down next year, and I can't really see why he would stay.

Him not being invited to the Heisman ceremony was just another absolute abomination by those guys. Even worse than the Peyton snub. He was the best player in the country, and I am not sure it was even all that close.

From John Majors to Peyton Manning, Tennessee has had a few Heisman whiffs.

Imagine how Arizona State fans feel.

Caleb Williams won the Heisman in 2022.

Exactly why the Heisman is just a popularity contest. For what it’s worth, they got it right this year though imo.

Never underestimate Volnation ability to hold a grudge

Maybe? The real issue is whether or not it's worth burning an SEC OPOTY level season (nevermind risk injury) in a year that's pretty stacked at the RB position this draft or come back and try to build on '24 in a class that likely isn't as deep.

As a Vol fan it's easy to want him back but it's hard for me to say he "should" have returned.

Yay more Hooker jokes

 

[Dansky]

With the Lions signing Bridgewater, might he be demoted to 3rd string?

That could be telling. Hope the best for Hooker. Will he be another Josh Dobbs? Good income and if you can make it till nfl pension kicks it, not awful. Still I think he has potential, or maybe my orange tinted glasses.

Imagine Fightin' Hendon Hooker vs. (Kenny) Pickett's charge....

 

[deezvols]

I didn’t know Hugh Freeze was a VN member

 

[LegionnaireOfTheMiserable]

I’m well aware. The guy I was responding to brought up Daniels winning the next year despite his team being “less successful” than our 2022 team.

He was solid. Not the best player based on the results UGA and USC game.

We'll see, but it is unlikely anyone would trade for him to be QB1. It's not going to happen for him in Detroit. Even if Goff got hurt at some point, Hooker is only going to sub until Goff got healthy

Always the last part until proven otherwise.

I remember watching a live pd type show and a woman police officer was arresting a hooker. She said "I have never seen a hooker that looks like Julia Roberts"
