Joe Milton quote

[VolFreakJosh]

Most student athletes don't spout off unproven BS

That’s BS and you know it.

A quote by a different J Milton has a bit of bearing here

Love that quote❤

 

[OrangeTsar]

That’s BS and you know it.

I see what you did there

 

[KeyVol14]

He’s got the highest ceiling of any QB on the roster and it’s not even close.

 

[Matt2496]

I'd rather him be over-confident, than under-confident.

 

[fossilfiction]

All he said was he can do everything and then said it was all about executing.
He has the talent. He just needs to use it properly. I don't think that is flex that some think it is.

 

[JWilly]

I think Peyton Manning would feel cocky too if he had just beaten up Bowling Green!

 

[OrangeTsar]

I'd rather him be over-confident, than under-confident.

Confidence and humility are NOT mutually exclusive traits Peyton had all the confidence in the world but was very well mannered and careful in spreading credit across the team. He used the pronoun “we” much more than “I”

 

[dcm3w]

You are overanalyzing the quote. I don't think he means he did anything special but the fact is he has all the tools to do everything.

 

[Rockytopvol86]

I’d rather have confidence not cockiness

 

[Orangeburst]

But he can do it all. He can stand like a statue, he can stare down his receivers, he can be the least gifted running QB we’ve ever witnessed.

True.

Still though, I think people are making a mountain out of a molehill over this quote.

 

[Other_Guy]

I wasn't a fan of how he answered Keslings question of how he played. Almost acted like he didn't struggle.

 

[OL SMOKEY]

Such is the life of competitive athletes.

They say something like this, there's going to be people who claim they're cocky/arrogant/whatever.

They offer a humble/meek response, will have people saying they lack the killer instinct needed to win at a high level.

No real winning for them.

Then how about just keep quiet and let your play on the field speak for itself.

 

[OrangeTsar]

True.

Still though, I think people are making a mountain out of a molehill over this quote.

This is TENNESSEE. Molehill expansion is what we do best you know
Maybe when we get some wins we can unclench our posterior sphincters just a wee bit

 

[VFL1953]

Coming from a guy that lost his last starting job, a little more circumspection might be in order.

 

[Iam4utalways]

He told on himself when he said it was all about execution.

The tape shows his level of execution and it looks like he owns it.

I’m glad he is confident with his skill set and aware of the lack of execution to perfection.

I blame him holding the ball so long on the OL. If they hadn’t held their blocks so long he would have been forced to throw earlier, take off or take the hit.

 

[Bloodrunsorange27]

To be honest, I’d rather have a QB with confidence than one without.
GBO!!

Me too if is any good. When he’s not it just tells you he has no self awareness and doesn’t realize he needs to improve dramatically

 

[VFL_JB]

From 24/7:

This remains to be seen, IMO. Had some really good moments, but this quote seems to be a little bit less than humble at this point, especially with the next game opening at home as a slight underdog (currently +1.5 from what I last read).

Good Lord. I guess we’d rather our QB have zero confidence. I mean I get it, the guy didn’t have a great game but, this is just REACHING.

 

[VFL_JB]

How does this quote make him sound cocky?

Most student athletes think the same way. Would you rather him come out and say he sucks?

Y’all kill me.

It truly is pathetic. I’m in absolute shock at some of the posts I’ve seen.

JG is definitely the least gifted running QB we have seen.

 

[VolInDayton]

It seems like he is overcompensating with false confidence because his last stop didn't work out. If he doesn't believe in himself no one will

 

[1Volnation]

These days it's all about me...

Already been posted and talked about

And Milton has since criticized his performance

He criticized himself after Heupel likely had a convo about leadership and humility. Go check your tape of what yhe convo was when Milton came off the field after his superman and Cam pose. You think he said good job ? I find it doubtful so he is teaching so thats a positive
