Without Sampson and our DL we would have been a 7-5 team. It wasn’t Nico winning these games. I hope he has a great season, but reality last year was Sampson and the D and not Nico. A couple of years ago it was Hooker and not the D or running game.I’m indifferent on this. I guess I hope he stays. On the other hand our offense was held to 7 or less points for entire halves most games last season. Shutout for entire halves several times.
How ever it plays out will be fine with me.
Son I just provided you with the stats that Tennessee uses, you want to use google then by all means do so and I will just continue to stats from NCAA and cfbstats.com since they're official.Or you could just Google SEC QBR ratings. No ones lying to you. You’re getting upset about raw mathematics. He had a replacement level season last year. I wish he had played better. I’m bringing you a tangible statistic to back it up. I didn’t even bring up intangible points like the fact that the kid is apparently a non factor in the locker room because I can’t prove that. I didn’t make the weather. I’m just reporting it. Hope that helps you on your journey.
I've been in support of Nico through his up's and down's but... cut the bait. Take anyone that wants to walk away with you. STOP RENEGOTIATING WITH PEOPLE THAT HAVEN'T EARNED THEIR CURRENT NIL DEAL... MLB pays for what you did the prior year... we are getting raped by players that haven't done anything, ever.
Keep up yourself with more than the article. He already had his first year to year renegotiation. This is his second since January 1, 2025. Guess it’s an every quarter type of play so Will do it again this summer and right before the season starts.My God some of y'all are such drama queens. Did you even read the article? We have this gem where he says it MAY or MAY NOT impact whether he enters the portal. Wow thanks for bringing us such in-depth details! Nowhere in the article does it say Nico is considering leaving but we have tards in here saying "ok bye!" You think his NIL deal is not going to be evaluated each year? This is likely standard for nil deals which are year to year.
Pete Nakos of On 3 reported Thursday the Volunteers and Iamaleava are undergoing "active contract negotiations ahead of the 2025 season" that may or may not "impact whether he enters the spring transfer portal."
What’s his SEC numbers ?Some of yall act like he's as bad as Guarantano and Worley sheesh.
I'm not sure what world you guys think a 64% completion, 2600 yards, and a 19/5 TD/INT for a RS freshman with the oline we had isn't impressive. If you think Merk or GMac can do close to that next year than you are completely clueless.
Yeah he's not Hooker (so far), but it took 4 years of Hooker being in college to have the season he had!
What throws can't the 2 highly rated backups not make that Nico can? How is that tanking the season with this schedule? With Merk or Mc we're still looking at 8-9 wins, IMOSome of yall are morons. Let him walk and tank our season? Lmao. I get it. No one likes it, but welcome to college sports in 2025. Adapt or get left behind.
You can post all the stats you want. He’s still mid. Hes a good game manager the stats say that. Good for youSon I just provided you with the stats that Tennessee uses, you want to use google then by all means do so and I will just continue to stats from NCAA and cfbstats.com since they're official.

Dawg one of my two cats would have led that team to the playoffs. That was one of the most dominant defenses and running game combos we’ve had in 30 years. Also our schedule was favorable. What you have is a game manager and if that’s good enough to you for 3 plus mill a year than that’s your own opinion big man. But Nico didn’t “lead” us to ish. You know it, I know it, and his family knows it and is why they’re trying to get all the money now. Nico’s value is gonna drop big time this year and maybe some other dumb program can get held hostage by his little league fatherNothing has been substantiated but some fans are ripping our qb who led us to the playoffs in his first full season as a starter. Let’s see how this plays out but nothing so far has suggested he isn’t all vol.
