It really is. WRs doing their job. All on #7.

Ehh WRs getting open but 2 drops already too. When Milton is good, they are off. When they are good, Milton is off.

We’ll get on track

 

[Govolsman98]

Play Bailey

 

[I4Jay]

Not much improvement out of Milton so far. Need him to make some throws.

I think he has improved already. He’s not holding the ball and he’s converted a few 3rd downs

 

[OrangeBlood4life]

I see improvement on Milton. He's gettin air under his deep balls now

 

[RiseToTheTop]

Is he just not capable of taking a little off? How can you do that 500 times in a row and still think “ya know, I’ll just keep throwing it 100mph” like man make an adjustment. These DBs cannot run with us and a lot of teams won’t be able to run with our receivers.

 

[Paper_Towel]

It seems like they might want to give him more shorter throws to get him in the groove a bit.

That makes too much sense.

 

[drvenner]

Well, I guess we've given up on our clear advantage in the running game

They are stacking the box.

 

[volfanCLT]

Well, I guess we've given up on our clear advantage in the running game

Yeah would like to see the run more. We were running it very well early on

 

[jave36]

Play Bailey

He's 3rd string.

 

[VolGee4]

Seriously. Next drive has gotta be Hooker or Bailey. He’s done

We are up 10-0.

 

[VolNRaleighNC]

Too much arm is not ok. He’s either too far or too fast.

 

[berryvol]

Milton is going to be insanely good. There’s clear improvements from last week. Heupel gonna have him rolling soon. People wanting him benched are touched in the head.

 

[Ashevolle]

Seriously. Next drive has gotta be Hooker or Bailey. He’s done

Lol. He has us up 10. We should fire Heupel today if he pulls Milton now.

 

[Jackcrevol]

They are stacking the box.

see my last post moran.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

We should/could have 21pts right now!

We have to make them pay when they give us a chance.

 

[I4Jay]

Milton isn’t bad. he just has issues with the deep ball. Everything else is really good.

Bingo

 

[Vols2DaWall]

Milton isn’t bad. he just has issues with the deep ball. Everything else is really good.

It’s bad if he’s already throw 7 deep balls and not even close. If you can’t hit a wide open guy 20 yards down the field, you are not an SEC QB

 

[Nash_Vol97]

I can look past a couple missed deep shots, but when you miss 4-5 open shots with one of them being a wide open 20-25 yard wide open TD with no pressure in the pocket.. I start to lose my patience.

 

[jave36]

They can’t catch it if he does. How many drops did we have last week….

He shouldn't have tried to lead Tillman. Just put it on his chest

 

[rjd970]

Based on what?

I’m frustrated by the long ball misses too but he’s making a number of plays as well.

Based on how he played last year, receivers being open, and he doesn’t have a hulk arm that he can’t control.

I’m not ready to pull the plug on Milton, but I think it is clear that last game wasn’t an anomaly. I’m hopeful he gets this cleaned up because dude has insane talent.

 

[Vols4us]

Urging patience is not my normal thing. But I am urging patience on Milton. He's not missing as bad. For the most part it is 2 year overthrows versus 5-10. It's not good and if it continues you have to replace him. But the gap is narrowing.

 

[jordan4vols]

Guys please stop with the “need a new qb” stuff. Heupel is not going to change them like this. Especially when we’re up 10 points already. He missed a couple. Hyatt should’ve also caught a perfect one. Not every qb is going to hit every throw

 

[ChattownVFL]

Keep Milton in there. I think he will get it in control

 

[jave36]

Lol. He has us up 10. We should fire Heupel today if he pulls Milton now.

He has us up 3. Punt team got 7

 

[beneVOLence]

Dang Milton, even a blind squirrel finds a nut every once in a while.
