Miltons future?

[Hunerwadel]

CJH thought he was good enough to be the starter when the season began. He has talent but made a few mistakes. He may need to play enough to get settled down. If Hook leaves he may surprise us next year. We have the right guy in place to coach him.

 

[TJVol95]

He’s a terrible QB. Did a great job on the bench.

that's where he was our biggest asset

 

[Fullfillmer]

I’m just curious, and this is a serious question-why does everyone think that he has sky high potential? Where does this belief come from?

Much like JG - he does not have sky high potential - if he did, we would have seen some of it in the first 4 years that he has been a college quarterback.

 

[Fullfillmer]

Does he stay or enter the portal?

I am thinking his future might be at tight end. Just a thought.

My thing was Milton has had 3 years at 2 of the richest Sports driven Universities in the Nation. All the resources that you ever needed with access to QB guru's etc.. If I'm him I hang in there but on the outside looking in, I just don't think he will ever be a difference-maker at a major P5 program. I think he has the yips and his style he needs to have more Tim Tebow in him when he runs but looks like Tarzan runs like Jane. He turns his back on most runs and prepares himself to absorb a hit.
If he had come from a University (lower level) I would have a different feel but the Michigan people I talked to said they were all in until they just weren't.

 

[PEPPERJAX]

Like maybe the guy he had at C. F. Who has entered the portal?

Certainly one to keep an eye on.

Not terribly uncommon to see a Nuke LaLoosh QB....some settle down, take coaching, and become stars (Favre was a prominent example), and some never do.

Bonus points for the Nuke reference.

I was watching him close during warm-ups. He has an absolute rifle for an arm. He was flinging it 50 yards like I would 10 yards.

Yes, he’s got one of the best arms I’ve seen. But he’s like a pitcher with a 110 mph fastball that can’t find the strike zone. It’s very unfortunate for him.

 

[Zues1]

He’d make a great TE.

You mean a big ole tough guy that likes to block people to the ground. Out physical dbs for passes, run over people?
I don't think so.

Mark Wohlers comes to mind.

 

[Illinoisvolfan2]

He’s a physical freak. It’s such a shame he doesn’t seem to have QB instincts. Probably won’t ever at this point.

 

[HiltonHeadVol]

If Kiffin were to leave, I think Lebby is promoted on the spot.

Agreed

 

[robow]

Be to wild but I bet he could throw it 101mph

101 mph would be his change up. lol

 

[jeff1vol]

Milton is as soft as cool whip and has ZERO dog in him. Dought Heupel can coach any into him.

 

[loservol]

Hopefully his future plays out at a different school.

 

[i2amavol]

Physically he may be the mosy gifted guy we have seen here. Since '89 i dont think we have had one guy that can unload it like Milton.

However, if he doesnt get some help from a sports psychologists he is likely never going to reach his.potential.

IMO of course

I agree, he needs to work on the mental aspects of his game. It could be the difference between moving on without football, or making millions in the pros. I do wonder, with his physical capabilities, if he could convert to TE. It is just a shame to waste his talent.

I agree with others though, I'm just not sure it is worth the risks for Tennessee to keep trotting him out there, after this season is over. He needs to show mental improvement or move on to somewhere/something else.

 

[utchs81]

I will say that one positive to having Milton on the bench certainly disproves the age old belief that the best QB on the team is the one on the bench

 

[Volfan1000]

On the Sports Source show today. the panel thinks that Milton will transfer and Tennessee will look to the portal to get another quarterback.

 

[VolMack——————$]

I occasionally catch footage of some of those offbeat competitions where people throw various things like washing machines and stuff. I’m sure there is some Irishman someplace who can throw a football from the power T into the river, but that guy isn’t being courted to play QB. Was Milton a similar project to Kongbo, or Tacko Fall, or one of those track guys who they occasionally try to teach to catch and run routes? I’m literally not being an ass on purpose, I am genuinely interested as to what his appeal was back in high school. I’m not seeing anything in him other than a guy who doesn’t miss a rep in the weight room. No other real QB traits, other than he can throw it a mile. His path to being a starting QB at two historically great schools is a curiosity to me at least.

Best post on here...with a understanding and questioning to not hurt these little pansies lol.

That’s what’s best for the dude.! UCF or a Memphis or........Somewhere alone those lines

So you are calling our HC an idiot for naming him the starting QB after the fall competition? And for keeping him squarely at number 2 when a five star was also standing on the sideline. Just does not compute he does not have the potential. He might never realize it, but coach has to see something.

 

[utvolford]

Milton has no touch. He is reasonably accurate, but often too much zip on the ball.

Can throw the ball 70 yards. Unfortunately, the receiver is only 60 yards downfield.

I don’t think I called anyone an idiot. I’m just asking what people see in Milton. Just because I don’t see it, doesn’t mean that he isn’t lighting it up every time he gets on the field.
