I mean...I can see what he means. The problem isn't Joe. The interception was, yes. But, the WRs not catching, the OL not blocking (biggest concern), and the playcalling (probably a result of the OL not blocking) are the biggest issues. Joe isn't the brightest guy at clock management and situational stuff, but Nico likely wouldn't be an improvement unless the other things got fixed.
The biggest addition and I think change for our team will be when Cooper Mays goes back. We need him 100% in a big way.
And it turns out that Joe is better than all of those guys and Heupel is better than Pruitt.We may be in a situation mirroring JG.
Sure, JG was not what we wanted to see but it turns out Harrison Bailey, Brian Maurer, and JT Shrout weren't either. A couple of those guys were "sure thing" QBs too who, with the exception of Shrout, are in complete obscurity.
Heupel and Halze made Hooker what he was. So now he doesn’t deserve trust?And Heupel also believed that Milton was better than Hooker and thought Milton was the clear favorite last year. But after we all seen Hooker play, we all knew right then that Hooker was the best by a long shot. If Milton doesn’t get hurt, do we see Hooker when we did, or is it after about 3 more games?
Yea ********!! Last year it took 461 total yes and 2 TD’s by the QB to get the job done at home and only still won by 5 points.
I agree. And I think Nico will be good also.And it turns out that Joe is better than all of those guys and Heupel is better than Pruitt.
But your comment sounds just like the things people said when defending JG. A good quarterback makes the entire team look better. Butch played Tyler Worley through the first half of Josh Dobbs freshman season until he was injured. It was the same narrative… Worley gives us the best chance to win (ie experience, playbook knowledge, etc). But the fans knew Worley didn’t have that it’s Factor.Not sure where the upside would be for Halzle to say " Milton sucks, Vol Nation is 100 percent right ".
Having lived through the abomination that was the Guarantano era, I'm all for QB changes if warranted. Milton isn't great by any stretch of the imagination, but he isn't the only problem with the offense.
Having the OC dress down the QB to the press is counter productive though.

Same thing here. To say well… Milton isn’t the ONLY reason we aren’t good says all you need to know. Your quarterback is either the reason you’re winning… Or the reason you’re losing. It’s that important of a position.
It’s almost like saying our basketball team is awful offensively. But it’s not the point guards fault. He shoots 35%. He doesn’t really have any assists and turns the ball over some. But he makes 1/3 shots so he’s not the reason we aren’t good?
