If the concern is Faizon leaving, then Gmac should not get the chance to start and be successful......

There is a world where Gmac is actually good and is here into the 2028 season. In that scenario, Faizon doesn't see the field until 2029. So once again, why are we pinning the QB position for the next 2 years on Faizon possibly transferring?

No you're penning in a two year QB.

Heupel is not going to sit Fazion until 29, that's just crazy.

If Gmac is as good as everyone expects and succeeds and wants to play his senior season here, he is going to get that opportunity.

This notion that he is merely a 2 year rental at best is just asinine.

If Gmac develops well and plays well at Tennessee, no one is going to be in a rush to run him off just to get to Faizon. That's the dumbest thing I've heard today

Gmac is not going to ride the bench for two more years either.

Need a one year QB.

Okay that still doesn't solve your problem. One of our 2 heralded QB recruits sitting on the roster are going to ride the bench for atleast 2 years here. Given Heupel's track record, it will likely be Faizon and Gmac will start next year. If he is successful, he will start in 2027. If he is successful enough to be first round grade, he will go to the draft. If not a first round grade, good chance he comes back for senior year. In that scenario, Faizon is a non factor here.

I personally hate the idea of going all in on 5 star QB recruits. Most of them will bolt after one year for not getting something they want and hardly few ever go the Ty Simpson route of waiting it out.

If you are someone that wants to see Faizon on the field as early as possible, you are hoping Heupel gets a one year rental at QB via the portal for 2026 season and Faizon starts the 2027 season. That means Gmac transfers out this offseason.

Send a letter to Heupel about that.

Do you feel like Heupel can't develop his own recruited QBs?

The cincinatti QB who just entered the portal is on record as saying the one place he'd love to play is Neyland. He has family in Knoxville. Went to games growing up. I'd say if we take anyone in the portal is should be him.

Heupel is closer to having a warm/hot seat than he is to an ice cold seat. Given his track record, he would be better off rolling into 2026 with that schedule with a QB with a significant amount of playing experience. Gmac / Faizon don't fit that. I personally wish Hype would go all in on a QB with multiple years of eligibility left so he can maximize continuity with his receiver room.

This isn't like 2024 where he spent all of 2023 as a transition year with a top ranked QB taking over.

Heupel has to rebound in a big way in 2026. Rolling out Gmac with zero experience or a true freshman Faizon is suicide.

Worked OK for Michigan (minus the HC banging a person on the staff).

I do typically agree though, especially in Year 6.

He was pretty good in relief of Mertz when he went down in Tenn last year and a big reason why we won games at the end of the season we weren’t supposed to, he’s also is why we didn’t win the games we were supposed to this year, he’s regressed and assumptions are because of Billy but that’s yet to be determined for sure, good luck to him, no hard feelings, he hadn’t turned out to match the hype.

If I had my way, this would be our portal QB addition. The upside of this would be a big deal as he has 2 years of eligibility left. That gives Heupel STABILITY at the most important position on the field in a year that could really springboard him back into calm waters.

Isn’t he a Diva?

if Aguilar comes back under the Pavia Rule, I got a strong feeling that Gmac just leaves, and then Faizon starts in 27... simple as that.
And, on that note, I guess if we get ANY guy in the portal to start next year, we end up with the same result.

Just a personal feeling, I suppose.
