The Continue To Pile On Nico Thread

[Tman44]

Gotta say it....

THANK YOU NICO IMAGONANALEAVEYA!!!! We would probably look like Florida if he and fam didn't get the greed bug. Thanks to CJH for taking the firm line. What a blessing we now have with Joey!!!!

When I see how our offense looks with Aguilar vs what we saw with Nico last year, I have to wonder what our offense look like this year if Nico had stayed? Not saying UCLA is ripe with offensive talent, but having a qb like Nico really hamstrings what talent you do have around him. He's not going to make anyone on that offense better, and he's certainly no leader. I'm going to enjoy the fresh air surrounding this years Vol squad regardless of the record. It's like flying in storm clouds then you elevated above them and things are calm and clear. You take a deep breath and are just glad you decided to pull up on that stick and remove yourself from the muck and mire.

Who are you and what have you done with @CAVPUT ?

This whole thing has the makings of a very ugly, very dark, 30 for 30 one day.

The reciprocal episode has Joey considering dropping football to become a firefighter but working his way up through every level of the game until becoming an SEC starter (and hopefully playoff quarterback)

I somewhat feel bad for this kid. His father is more than likely to blame the most. He should be ashamed of himself

On post game interview with Nico, he was asked what his thoughts were on being 0-2, when last year he only lost two games all season in the regular season.

Did Mullen not get Miss State to a #1 ranking at one point ?

Mullen is a good coach, how many other coaches can do what he did at MS. He was 69-46 at MS.

 

[BreatheUT]

It's not even worth a lot of discussion anymore. It was funny last week, but I wish the kid the best.

But to be a fly on the wall when his dad is being honest about the current events would be something.

 

[cgrish]

This is just a sad situation for Nico. I didn't watch the game but looked at box score. It looks like he had a decent day passing but was also the leading rusher after getting sackedH

He will bail if any team will take him.

 

[cgrish]

Tough end to the game there. Nico seemed to have a decent 2nd half. That last throw was a bullet.

And off target, threw behind the receiver

Anyone else know nico sucked by the 3rd time he started including the first year? Always got 20 replies saying I was an idiot. He had an injury and i said i hope he gets better and love every player, people worried about it, said season over, i said we cant get a worse qb, 40 deplies on that one

VN has 0 foresight. Was about the only Nico hater early on. Always said here "he is equal to JG but JG has excuses" "100 replies" if I had no life id pull it all up and expose 90% of you guys

I don’t specifically remember your posts, but everyone who posted any Nico critiques was attacked with “he’s just a freshman” ignoring that he enrolled midterm then red shifted the next season. I’m sure a lot of the ultimate Nico defenders are now singing a different tune. JMO

I was in Orlando, he looked great against Iowa. That was probably his best game as a Vol

“I’ve seen enough it’s definitely time to bench Nico Iamaleava this guy sucks,” a fan said.

I thought something along the lines of this.

Nico has had everything given to him to his credit. He has never really had adversity in his college career. Even him being here would be a 10 win / CFP playoff appearance on auto pilot. I think it would have been likely he would have improved with another offseason with Heupel. We have to believe that because Heupel has proven his qualifications in QB development.

However, I don't think Nico ever got put in a position to be hungry. Meanwhile Joey Swaguilar was at App State and thinking of being a fire fighter. He just seems like someone who isn't going to risk or screw up his opportunity.

This is why I think the days of 5 star QB recruits being the hot commodity are a thing of the past. They never really have faced adversity and it is easy to go out in the portal and get someone who has experience and has developed some.

This is where I think Heupel could really get on a crazy run.

We have a quarterback here now who has done very well.Why must all you idiots rave over how bad Nico has looked.Support who is here and wearing the orange and white and let Nico disapppear into the past.We have georgeaa this week and I would love to see us put a red clay hound ass -whipping on them dawgs.We need more on this week than last season.

who the hell is georgeaa?

 

[perico]

I don’t care all that much other than it’s given me a good chuckle when I’ve flipped over.

I just want to know if Joel Klatt has opened his mouth lately?
