'26 NC QB Faizon Brandon (Tennessee commit)

[MemphisVol3]

Great point here.

Joe was decently accurate. Super talented deep passer that could hit windows that most college QBs could not.

The issue was that he was a bad TOUCH passer. So his misses would look really bad, which made everyone think he was inaccurate to all levels of the field, which really wasn't true. He lacked finesse on some of the "easier" passes, and those really stood out and were triggering

Hit the nail on the head.

Truncated playbook due to lack of trust? So now you resort to conjecture. Excellent. Milton was far from perfect but he was better than you and some others want to think. WRs main function is to catch the football. The past who years they have been terrible at that. I guess your limited vision missed that

Did Milton miss reads? Yep. Over throws? Yep. But I reiterate again our WRs have been bad the past two years

Are you incapable of seeing the playbook was shortened?
Or are you incapable of accurately assessing why?

 

[85SugarVol]

Aww arent you cute. Well I guess maybe you need a history lesson about our QBs accuracy. Here ya go champ:

Dobbs best year- 63%
Clausens best year- 64%
Brays best year- 59%
Ainges best year- 67%
Cromptons best year- 58%
Martins best year- 57%
Shulers best year- 65%
Kelly’s best year- 63%

Milton’s best year- 65%

Have you forgotten how many of Milton’s completions were within 5 yds of the LOS?
Or are you incapable of seeing that as well?

He knows. He's just a troll.

 

[orangebloodgmc]

He’s not playing this year unless things go off the rails badly. He just isn’t physically ready.

Dunno. By mid-season GMac might be just as physically ready as Bray or Ainge were as freshmen.

Flip flops opinion to whichever sparks the most argument.

Seen all and no. Unless they’re putting him on the 80s-90s Nebraska “training program” he isn’t going to get big enough fast enough.

Steroids. The name of that program was steroids.

Yes, THAT one was.

But it don't take steroids in this day n age for a D-1 footballer to gain 15-20 lbs of muscle, in 6 months between Spring game and mid-season following that. That that can be done, with our training tables and weight room is not even debatable.

David Sanders did it.

Kind of a blanket statement. All body types are different. Some guys really struggle to gain muscle, even in a good S&C program. I would say most can do it, but probably not everyone.

100% on a ton of screens per game helps that % to be completely fair

RIght. I was replying to guy a few posts back who claimed it could NOT be done.

Yep.

Dude is a clown.

 

[Bigorangefaninga]

Yeah, I went back and looked at average per throw and some of those guys with less completion % threw for higher avg yard per pass. I loved Milton and I’m not sure he was all that inaccurate, as said before he had no feel for the game at all when needing to throw a touch pass instead of a fastball.

Agree completely. His touch passes were terrible and he wasn’t that good at reading defenses.

Hmmm interesting. So if that’s the case then his Y/A, A/YA and Y/C should be extremely low right mr know it all?

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

What was his Y/A, A/YA and Y/C then?

I think steroids builds MM in some folks.

It raises the floor for most folks. At some points, at least to me genetics takes hold. Ric Flair has been very open about it. Had he devoted himself fully to it, probably wouldbe looked like UW, who competed.

Having read Arnold's memoirs, I mean. He knew early on what his goals were. Nothing would stand between he and that. Look at Lou Ferigno compared to AS. Its apples and oranges. The dedication, type A gusto, ego, and sheer attention to detail as well as an iron clad regimin got Arnold the nod. Hell even arnold admited Lou was a genetic freak.

Gaining 15-20 lbs in a professional, yes pro type environ at UT should achievable for most folks who put in the work.

Getting folks over that hump earlier, is what anabolic steroids does. IMO.

Context. Always omitted.

Bray was only slightly higher than Tee, but his offenses were quite prolific. He threw downfield. Big chunk plays. Long 3rd down conversions. Helmed some of our best offenses prior to Heupel. On a 59% completion rate. Terrible.

Milton had a decent completion rate because Heupel designed around his weakness. He was fine. I'd gladly take him now. He was nowhere near the level of HH and no amount of scheme will make him that.

Think a lot of folks were/are frustrated at the conservativeness. Perceived as holding reigns back on Milton and Nico. Perhaps coaches disnt trust them? Perhaps it really was Golesh's thumbprint on this offense.

No. It was fear of picks. Heupel didn't suddenly become a ruthless scoring machine when Golesh arrived, and he didn't stop being one when he left.

I agree, most.

When I was in my early 20s I worked out 5-6 days a week. There was this skinny dude that worked out at the same gym who was there every evening. He busted his butt every day. I mean he was working hard. After a year he didn’t look like he had put on an ounce of muscle.
