Who is QB1? (Merged)

[mudhen]

So do we even HAVE a quarterback for next fall?

 

[DaddyChad]

We’ve got a few of them

Not to hear everyone talking about it.

Chris Low said yesterday that he does not think either one of them will be ready to play next year.

Cannon for an arm this guy

James Banks have any eligibility left?

 

[rocketskates]

Likely will be GMac and Heupel will have him ready to go. There’s plenty of criticism to go around, but Heupel has proven that he can develop QBs. I was more worried about the defense but we’ve been shoring that up with dudes.

Okay, but why do we keep losing QB's in the portal?

Where is the whipped cream ?

 

[Heupel's Side Chick]

I think Heupel figured out he actually has 1 year of eligibility left and that's his end game...

Sad,, but true! There has to be a greater plan I'm just not seeing it.

Sad,, but true! Looks like we got Beau...yippie! There has to be a greater plan I'm just not seeing.

We did not get Beau….

 

[orangemadam]

I read that Jadyn Davis entered the portal from Mich. Any interest?

 

[toyovol]

Can Huepel develop his own QB? We are about to find out, come next season him and Joey Sideburns better figure it out.

Merk left because he knew he would never be a starter here, we lost on leavitt because we weren’t willing to pay a ridiculous amount for him, I suspect we lost on the kid for Missouri because Virginia offered him more or he knew there was a better chance of being the starter there as well.

You mean other than Heupel taking a discarded backup QB after spring practice and turning him into a top 8 all time Vol QB, developing him and teaching him an entire system in about 2 months? Nah, never happen for ole Whuple.

Hasn’t he already proven that with Sam Bradford, Landry Jones, and Drew Lock?

 

[madbamahater]

I do trust a guy who was a Heisman Trophy finalist, National Championship winning QB that went on to a lengthy coaching career that has developed multiple QBs to a high level more than I trust myself or anyone else on VolNation to do the same.

To be fair to Josh......do you think cornbread would have developed Hendon Hooker and pulled of what Josh and Co. did that season?

Thank you and I corrected. It was posted on the Knox. News Sentential. I should have known HA

Developing a QB and having a QB friendly offense are two different things. Joe Milton was the same QB in his third year here that he was in his first. Joey was known as a gunslinger with high highs and low lows at App St. and he was still that here, just in a better system. Stats are not necessarily equivalent to development, they’re more indicative of the staff knowing how to utilize existing skill sets.

Hendon is the only QB here that’s really made any noticeable progress from one year to the next since Heupel’s been here. I’m hoping we ride with the young guys and he proves he can do it again.

Chaney may have developed Hooker if Pruitt stayed out of his way.

That’s a big difference in the two coaches. We see Heup bringing in a DC and letting him build that side how he wants. Whereas Pruitt thought he could micro manage both sides of the ball.
