Joey Football > Hooker

[foolonthehill]

I agree that he is probably more suited for the NFL than Hooker. When I think about it, there aren't a ton of great prospects this year which bodes well for him. Him being a "gamer" helps matters

Nonsense

He is a gamer, busted plays look more like opportunities with Joey vs oh heck here comes a loss of yards or the ball. Im glad the Vols have Joey this year. Hooker was almost the man-ning. Hooker was what the Vols needed then, Joey is what the Vols need now or similar

It's hard to tell because this team is so much better than the 2021 or 2022 teams. Especially at OL.

But my first instinct is that Joey is a better thrower of the football, while Hooker is the better overall player given his elite mobility. The offense just had a entirely different level with Hooker's running ability.

JA probably doesn't have the arm strength to get drafted early. And it's rare someone goes from a nobody at a small school 1 year before the draft to a 1st round pick without being an elite athlete like Josh Allen.

30 TDs 3 INTs, 27 TDs and 2 INTs. Hooker had the same number of INTs in 2 years that Joey has in 5 games. You can say the WRs dropped some but he throws high a lot. I like Joey, but he's not Hendon.

Recency bias is way too prevalent in modern sports.

Nonsense

You're right. Neither are NFL quality

Peyton’s records really don’t mean anything.

Zero titles.

Because he never beat Florida

Peyton’s records really don’t mean anything.

Zero titles.

He won an SEC Championship, back when that mattered more than now.

 

[EastTNVol6240]

Hooker probably wins us the Georgia game. Joey had two bad turnovers.

Georgia wasn’t on Joey or a kicker. It was on scared coaching.

 

[Stacmot]

I like what I have seen so far from JA. My only gripe about him is lack of arm strength. Hooker had a much stronger arm

 

[Jackcrevol]

Prove me wrong

Different player, different skill sets. Hendon was a different type of leader. Joey may be more cerebral. Both throw a catchable ball.

Doesnt matter how you get there. just that you get there.

Prove me wrong

Sorry, but Aguilar has some work to do, to beat Hooker. WR's weren't having to come back and slow down to catch Hooker's deep ball. Hooker is a much better runner and Hooker didn't have the supporting cast that Aguilar has. Aguilar may become better, but as of right now, Hooker has the better resume.

he's got to beat bama and florida first
