Am on the only person here that thinks that this guy is getting to much credit? I know that a lot of you think he is the second coming of John Elway, but I think he is getting way to much cred...Just wonderin' if anybody else feels the same.

God Bless and Go Vols

He looked pretty good to me. Just giving credit where credit is due.

I wouldnt say NOTHING without Hackney, but he's definitely the best player to wear the green and gold.

Remember, UAB went into Athens and almost beat UGA a couple years ago (and that was without Hackney).

Hackney is not overrated though. You'll see as the year goes on. I'll try to keep you all updated on his stats and such.

I think he's just that good! Parys was all over him all day, parys got 2 late hits. The guy is Good!
He dumped off some junk, to a guy and he was wrapped completely up. The only sack he gave up, it took one of' if not the best DT in the SEC late in the game to get.(Jesse dont play tag)

It did look like the O was his, If he got in position to be dragged down the WR'S came back to the ball. UAB didnt even have a run game for crying out loud. He's preprogramed to ditch would be tackles/sacks and make a play.

Lets applaud the Blazers for the up right fight they came in with, and grow from it.
Any, and all of my could'a, shoulda's i left in the parking lot saturday eve.

it's just you. Hackney is great, he is a franchise type player and will possibly be the first qb taken in the draft next year.

Hack was the best QB on the field Saturday. Not to take anything away from our 2, but Hack was incredible.

UAB gained a lot of respect in my eyes. So, go home boo birds or celebrate a win. Let's be classy vol fans and give credit to a very good team that gave a great team a run for its money.

Blazer, take pride in your team, and the huge talent you have under center.

He will be taken in the first couple of rounds, the only real knock on him is that he does not quite have the height you would want in an NFL QB.

Thanks. We know we really have a star in Hackney. It's funny because our next opponent, Troy, thinks that Hackney has 0 NFL potential and that he's not even among the Top 25 QBs in the nation.

I clearly don't think Hackney is getting too much credit - here's why:

1) His passes were accurate both from the pocket and on the run. Some of the tightest spirals I've seen. On their second drive, he made an awesome scramble and threw across his body to a receiver cutting across the middle - the pass was perfect.

2) He spread the ball around - took the best option on many plays rather than trying to force it to Lindsay. On there last 2 big drives only 2 players handled the ball more than once (both Lindsay and another got 2 touches per drive).

3) He adapted to a lack of running game - game plan changed.

4) He never got rattled.

5) Look how a good QB (Ainge) can struggle. Hackney was on.

The only knock on Hackney for the pros is his lack of height. Otherwise, he may be the best QB we face all year.

Good point. Hackney really did spread the ball around. I believe 10 different Blazers caught passes from him. I really wish we could have seen him air it out more. You guys never really got to see his strength. Sure you got to see hit short bullet passes, but you guys should see the kind of touch he can put on a 60-70 yard pass.

Just out of curiosity, when did 6-1 become too short for the NFL? Guys, that's a new one on me. Methinks Hackney will be making more $$ per year beginning next season than the most of us make in a lifetime.

according to a couple of posters on this board Hackney is not that good and if what they say is true what does that say about UT's defense and how pathetic they are

Never said "too short", but the prototypical NFL qb seems to be moving to the 6-3 to 6-5 range. I still think he will be a first or second rounder...but a couple of inches would boost his stock.

I agree - he's not too short to play but his height will affect his draft status. He's actually closer to 6'0" than 6'1".
