Nico is legit. His numbers weren’t gaudy yesterday, they didn’t have to be. Would have been better if his receivers wouldn’t drop balls that hit them in the hands or stop running routes.
He scores 4 TD’s against what was being reported as a top 5 national defense, in his first start and first meaningful playing time. He has an internal clock. Reads his progressions. Is on the money with his passes. How many times did he miss wide open receivers? Once on the first pass of the game maybe? Watch the pass to Keyton on the run on the sideline. That is elite. Only knock is taking some sacks, but that will improve with experience and O line play. His running and scrambling is sick. 0 turnovers to boot.
Idk how anyone could watch yesterday’s game and not be pumped about what could come. He’s the best talent we've had at QB since Manning.
Guess he is projecting hope and success as an overly Positive Vol fan instead of hopelessness and defeat of greatness as an overly Negative Vol fan. We have members of both of these poll groups in our fan base along with the fair and rational larger middle ground segment. Oddly the positive guys are not as prolifically repetitive with their thoughts.How on earth is he surpassing Bama or Georgia next year?
Yeah, I was pretty sure you would only care if Nico stunk it up, the revamped defense collapsed and the VOLS lost. Your tendencies are what they are. You are once again solidifying your position as a leader of the NegaVol movement. A larger than needed segment comprised of folks with varied motivations for sharing their negative observations. And YES I am aware every fan base has them.Bama is losing like 5 starters and only 1 on offense. Milroe will be better. You see the OL is still very shaky and the secondary isn't going to transform overnight.
Who cares what Tenn did to Iowa. Who isn't having a complete 2nd half collapse against Bama right now
He made numerous passes today that JMIII would have overthrown or at 100mph. I saw glimpses. He's a much better runner, but held the ball too long several times. That can corrected in the off season.I believe in Heupel, absolutely. Do I believe in Nico? No, I'm not sure. I saw nothing today in his passing game to make me believe. But yes he's young and super talented
