After seeing the depth chart for this week, it honestly doesn't surprise me that Milton is number 1.
It's weird but clearly last game seems to be an anomaly from what the coaches saw in practice. Hooker isn't the answer even though he showed flashes. His deep ball is just as bad as Milton. Milton throws it in the stands and Hooker's deep ball is plain ugly. Hooker has also turned it over 3 times in the past two games. Also, Hooker is not going to win any games with his arm. Take away his ability to run, and he wouldn't play anywhere in America. Honestly, Bailey has the best deep ball of the three, but lacks in other areas.
If Milton connects on just one deep ball, this is a different conversation. I'm not saying Milton is a good QB, but the coaches seem to think he needs more time. Hooker is what he is. Milton may be what he was at Michigan (I think he is). But Heupel seems to think Milton is the guy we roll with and I'm going with his judgement over my ignorance.
I think this gets revisited after a few more games. Milton needs a little bit more time, but not much. One thing that worries me about Milton is that it is often believed that you can't teach accuracy, and Milton does not have that beyond 15 yards. We are in another QB quandary boys.
