Even at APP State one of Joey's underrated statistics is how often he took sacks, which wasn't very much. He has still thrown one or two risky balls into coverage the first two games, so you want to limit that. But, he offsets that by avoiding negative plays and getting the offense to stay ahead of the sticks. Will be interested to see how he manages this weekend against a top defense.

Can't have the overthrows though.

I care.

I have a morbid curiosity in whether UT comes ahead in all this. We always had skepticism about Nico - this is one of those rare natural experiments, where you get to see what WOULD have happened if you had taken the other fork in the road.

The fact that Nico and Joey swapped spots is just the cherry on top of such an experiment. Like the old movie with Eddie Murphy and Dan Akroyd, Trading Places. "What if we took a pedigreed 5-star quarterback on a really good team, and a scrappy 0-star quarterback on a really bad team.....and just swapped them?"

I’ve enjoyed watching UCLA suck and the fact that Big Nic hasn’t been on twitter since the spring.
With that said. I’m done with the Nico hate watching.
Imagine the pain of not getting to play this Saturday against Georgia with game day in attendance. 100k+ screaming fans and the pageantry.
I have to figure Nico is hating his current situation. That’s enough for me

I honestly believe the only pain NiNope is feeling is his checking account and what coulda been.
He didn’t just take a massive paycut he went and left a state with no income tax for a state with a massive one. Not to mention Oregons coach had already informed CJH that NiNope and crew was shopping around and trying to get out of UT.

And he had that really nice throw against Oklahoma too. My father was born in May of 1940 and it was the first time Tennessee had beaten Oklahoma since before my father was born and obviously the first time in my lifetime as well. I'm happy we have Joey and I'm excited about how well he's played, but I also appreciate the things Nico accomplished on Rocky Top while he was here.

Ironic, you have 5 star heart under your username and trying to appreciate a QB, a captain for the team at that who showed absolutely 0 heart.

Lmao!!! And Benedict Arnold was a true Patriot…nominate this for post of the week.

Few men associated with the Revolutionary War accomplished more for the Continental Army than Arnold and few men who survived the war sacrificed more for the Continental Army. He was a commander during the capture of Fort Ticonderoga and was perhaps the most important commander during the Patriots' victory at Saratoga. He was wounded twice in combat and spent the rest of his life walking with a limp. He sacrificed his personal fortune to finance military expeditions and supply his troops, falling heavily into debt as a result.

Several men with fewer accomplishments but better connections got promoted over him, including St. Clair, who lost Fort Ticonderoga to the British. The Continental Congress didn't properly reimburse Arnold for his expenses. Arnold was just someone who originally thought the Patriot cause was the better cause, and he fought bravely and sacrificed dearly for it until the Continental government betrayed Arnold before he betrayed it. Oh, and to add insult to injury, part of his court martial was a politically motivated accusation of war profiteering after he had sacrificed his personal fortune and went into debt to finance the rebel war effort. I don't blame Arnold for what he did, and I would've said "eff these effing chumps" and done the same thing a lot sooner than he did had I been in his shoes. He was a lot more patient than I would've been, but it's human nature to fall for the sunken cost fallacy during a war, so maybe that's why he took it up the poop chute from those guys as long as he did.

You have to keep in mind that America back then was a lot different than it is now. Whereas all Americans celebrate 4th of July today, at the time of the war a significant percentage of Americans remained loyal to the Crown, including a majority of the people in the state of Georgia, a majority of the people in Charleston, SC and a majority of the people in NYC. The Patriots were sort of like the DPR & LPR militias that the American propaganda demonizes in eastern Ukraine, with a majority of the people in the Donbas supporting the local militias and a lower but significant percentage supporting the Ukrainian government. It was like that in America. It wasn't like Americans were practically all on the same side like during our 20th and 21st century wars with him being the odd man out. Benedict Arnold was a British citizen as all of the Americans were at the time. Every Patriot was a traitor to the Crown. Arnold was just unique that he was a traitor twice over, turning his back on both governments during the war. Arnold had experience living under both governments and, unlike the Loyalists, he decided to give the Continental government a chance and risk everything for it until it proved itself even more corrupt than the British government.

Nico's situation isn't like Arnold's at all. Tennessee never did Nico dirty the way the Continental government did Arnold. But Nico's like a lot of us who quit one company for another in hopes of more pay. He didn't get more pay, but from a moral and ethical standpoint none of us who have changed jobs for more money, myself included, are any different or any better than Nico. Most of us just make less money than he does.

It’s time to move on from Nico. We have our QB for now and should have one for the future next year. He was a failed experiment, and thank God we were able to get rid of the anchor that was holding the offense back

Everyone was jizzing their jean shorts when Nico ran up to the back of the scrum to help push Sampson into the end zone against Kentucky. We're saying he played with no heart only after he left, not while he was here. We're emoting instead of making objective observations because our feelings are hurt. I was sad to see him go too, but as long as Aguilar keeps playing the way he is and stays healthy, things turned out well. Nico's making millionaire money playing a game he loves near his hometown so that's good for him, and Aguilar is playing like he's an upgrade for Tennessee at a lower cost, so we should be happy too. People are searching too hard to find negatives when there's a lot to like about the situation, at least at this point in the season.

This post is so dumb.

First of all Nico and his trashy family made their decisions to shop around, and helped seed chaos in our program including right before our first ever playoff game, then again in spring practice. His selfishness cost the team, and he's getting his karma as we speak and yes UT fans should revel in it.

Secondly, even though there is some truth to your description of Arnold, he WAS doing war profiteering (even if there were others doing it at the same time), and whining about not getting a post or assignment to the point that you let your traitorous greedy wife talk you into betraying your best friend as well as your entire countrymen for spite and some $$$$ is the behavior of a scumbag. Thankfully he will always been rightly assigned as a traitor and coward. Too bad he escaped like a B**** before Washington was able to hang him himself

I'm rooting for both quarterbacks to excel, but of course I'm pulling for Joey more as he's currently on the Tennessee roster whereas Nico is a VFL playing for another squad.

I need help understanding this. How is someone that agreed to come under certain circumstances but then threatened to transfer if he didn’t get better circumstances but then later tried to hold the team hostage the day before the orange and white game to change the circumstances again a VFL. he was a Vol For Money…not For Life.

What are you a fan of Arnold based on the show series TURN because that’s the only way I can imagine someone being sympathetic to him because the show series definitely portrayed him a very favorable way.

Benedict tried to surrender West Point on the Hudson River to the redcoats and then once his plan found out fled to Britain’s army before he be could be court marshaled and that’s where died was in England. Yes he was Washington’s most brilliant tactition but was also Americas worst betrayer. He was one of Washington’s closest friends for God sakes.

Before being court marshaled and dying in England he led a British attack on his home state, commanding troops to raid New London, Connecticut. His troops destroyed the town, supplies, and privateering ships and attacked a fort, killing surrendering Continental soldiersI!!

won’t even bring up what he did to Richmond.

Benedict Arnold lived better than most the soldiers. He would have been paid what was owed and probably ended up with a secretary of war title or something. All America had to do was win and by 1981 they were in a position to but he still turned traitor.

He was a leader of men who call each other brothers.

So no matter how many redcoats Arnold killed or however TD passes/runs Nico threw at UT either way he was a Benedict Arnold.

I like this take, and while it doesn't negate the need to limit the risk (Heup called him over after that long Matthews TD), it at least keeps the CB's honest and he has guts to trust his receivers to make a play.

But yea, those risky ones will be INT's against top tier SEC teams.

Well said. There's no way this situation goes away soon, later or ever. It is the defining case study in the NIL era to this point. It'll still be talked about 50 years from now.
