It’s time to move on from Milton. We won’t do it until after this year though. We can’t score points offensively this year unless we run the ball. Hooker spoiled us.

Silly comment. Maybe Nico can put more than points on the board and help TN sustain drives and make a game out of it. Milton's lack of QB play adds more pressure on an already sucky defense

I don’t blame JM i blame the coach that sends him out there every game . JH is like a cancer to this team he doesn’t care win or lose.

Milton is a cancer too. Just slowly eating up the offense while acting a fool on the field

I watched the game and saw Milton was as effective as the defense. So if we agree the defense sucked then Milton was right on the heels.

Save his redshirt? Lmao if he is the real deal, he won’t be here for more than 2 more seasons. Redshirt don’t matter.

That is "IF." If he isn't the guy, its wrong to have him burn his redshirt to play a meaningless extra game or two.

Maybe Nico can help get 1st downs so the defense which is crap anyways doesnt have to stay on the field all but 3 plays of the first quarter

Maybe Nico can get close enough to Banks to whisper in his ear "Schrader. He's the white boy with the number 7 on his back"

These remaining 3 games are meaningless if we let Joe finish them. Moving on to Nico Atleast gives this team a head start on 2024. I have no fear for Nico’s health and safety starting vs Georgia in Neyland.

I can lay some blame on Milton for : 1) throwing rockets instead of a catchable ball---at least 3 x tonight 2) The poor, predictable game plan( as others have stated on here that CJH doesn't trust him to do anything but the simplest plays) #3) not being able to react to what the defenses giving him ( poor pocket presence). Overall I lay some blame on CJH for not preparing the team better, on both sides of the ball. I wouldn't put Nico in w/ Georgia but Vandy for sure.

Its better to send a message by showing faith and sticking with your SR QB. The Vandy Game already is meaningless no matter what. Still not worth it regardless.

I get that. But at some time, it’s going to end for Joe. Heupel loves the guy and I get it but his soft spot for Joe doesn’t trump the duty he has to the program and its future.

I’m not saying the problem was QB, but experience at QB matters and if we aren’t careful next year will be worse than this and probably most likely will be. Nico needs to be on the fast track for development or we’ll miss the opportunity to make a run with the best RB in the league.

Yes, but I don't think he is to blame either. Sure, the 4th quarter spiraled out of control on him, but he was fairly efficient fir a good amount of the game. It was unfortunate fumbles, a lack of a running game, and the defense's inability to get a stop and good foeld position that led to this loss. I don't think the team would react positively t9 benching him.
