I don't want this to sound bad. You can go back months and even to spring and find that I've always liked him personally and as a player. I believe he's a talented guy... but I think you will see a string of "gifted talents" benefit from Heupel's system and more importantly Heupel's leadership. Hooker was average to above average for VT. No one anywhere that I'm aware of predicted he would be as good as he's been.
Do not agree. The knock against Hooker in the draft will be he played in a simplified offense and was not required to make complicated reads. He needs another year to continue to develop his skills and to run a more developed offense. Hooker’s biggest asset right now is a guy named Heupel who will make him the top QB in next year’s draft.
Heupel can easily develop the next QB to a level similar to Hooker next year. He has done it before. Replacement does not concern me.
One more year! One more year!It's been a long long time since we have had a QB lead the nation in any stat. Hendon Hooker has been a huge surprise this year!
Happy Thanksgiving!! Go VOLS!!

Jones' era would have ended in 2015...For some reason my gut feels like he will return for one more season. He's had a great year for sure, I just feel like his draft stocks would shoot up tremendously if he could add on to the success he has had this year and do it again next year.
Can you imagine the Butch Jones Era without Dobbs to bail him out?
I don't know what his current draft grade is, but with the NIL deals he could potentially be in line to receive, I'd say the financial compensation could be comparable. If he comes back next season he could potentially be in the conversation for the Heisman and break all of Tennessee's single season passing records. I'll go out on a limb and say if He returns, UT will be playing in a New Year's six bowl.

What do you not agree with. I think I stated "big if" meaning he likely will not leave. Replacement does not bother me either, but it would be nice to not have to go through "training" a guy in live play ever year.Do not agree.

Do not want him to go but I stated the reason why he should not do so. I do not agree with the replacement theory you suggested. Hooker was an average QB at VaTech and Heupel polished him up and will do so with the next average QB we start next year.What do you not agree with.
