Milton’s future role

Sample size is too small. Often a kid with an arm like that can take time to tame it in a season. He’s throwing all these long balls perfectly in practice, but overthrowing it in games. I’d bet that hitting just one long pass would put him on track to hit a lot more. Our coach knows the QB position. I’m guessing he’ll figure it out.

I know there are those that will want to answer the question with the response of bench warmer, I think he could still have some value.

He does well on passes to the flat and he is a bruising runner.

I think he would be great at short yardage situations as you would be working to his strengths. Maybe even a good tight end.

I could be wrong, but I think he still has value and can contribute to this team.

So everybody is comparing Milton to Cam Newton........ the QB without a job who lost out to the Bama freshman. Cam can't throw it in the ocean.

Yet he won't a National Championship in college... So? You're saying Milton can lead us to a chip?

I think Heupel trots Milton out as QB1 next week. Why? When asked at the presser what his QB plans were he said some like he was going to review the game film and see if Miltons failures were something that can be fixed. Heupel seems to be fixated on Milton and his strong arm. It’s like a guy that has a beautiful wife that’s out of his league. Although she screws around on him week after week, he takes her back because he thinks he can’t live without her. It’s sickening to watch from the outside looking in.

If Heupel starts Milton next week then I will have lost all hope in Heupel’s unbiased evaluation abilities and I’m done watching UT football until we get an actual QB. I have better things to do than watch another train wreck within the UT football program. I’m sick of UT being nothing better than Vandy. I can’t image Milton making it past Alabama without being decapitated or his legs broken.

He tweaked his ankle and we're playing a cupcake. I would be shocked if Milton plays.

I think his value is the incredibly deep hail Mary. If you have to throw it 80 yards, he's your guy. Other that that, TE looks to be a good option, or he can continue to be the backup QB.

It would have to be a fly pattern not a Hail Mary because the Hail Mary requires that you get some air under the ball. Milton throughs and 80 yard missile like a leftfielder throwing somebody out at home.

He’s a bruising runner? Are you joking? Do you know a damn thing about football? He runs like he’s afraid to get hit. Good lord.

Well Mullen stuck with Franks until he got hurt & UF was losing that game and slow-footed Trask came in brought them back to win and ended up a Heisman finalist. Franks transferred to Arky and Trask is Tom Bradys backup but at one time millionaire, HC Mullen had him on 3rd team.

Franks is a back up on the falcons.
Burrow wasnt burrow til his last year.
Zach Wilson came out of nowhere last year.
Trask seemed to seize the opportunity. Give Mullen credit for creating a pretty good passing attack with a not so mobile QB which is his style.

"Bruising runner"...tell me you're joking! He "tip toes" when contact is coming!

Right, it would be so tricky when he comes in. No one would notice that the 6'5" QB just entered the game. No one would suspect a thing! So when they direct snap to him, everyone would surely be caught off guard.

LOL! That made me chuckle. Of course, that scenario would likely work against us.

100%. HB isn’t a trash QB like some of the guys on here think that are in love with mobile QB’s. At this point, if Heupel won’t give HB a shot, I’d love to see him go to a team UT will play in 2023 and go something like 34/40 for 600 yards against UT. As you pointed out HB has a 70% completion ratio but he’s a throw away QB to many because he’s not very mobile.

Bailey isn’t getting a shot bc he’ll get killed behind our makeshift OL! He’s not mobile enough or physically mature enough to survive or succeed. Heupel would be ruining the kid the same way Pruitt ruined Maurer.

Have you seen our OL play this year? Are you aware Cade Mays is injured? That we’ve got no depth? Did you see all the penalty yards our OL racked up against Pitt? Once we got past the 1st Q our OL got OWNED by Pitt’s DL.

Milton’s and Hooker’s biggest game extending plays were runs not passes! Bc they were running for their lives. Bailey can’t do that.

A mobile QB isn’t an infatuation this year it’s a necessity.
