Joe Milton 2.0 (merged)

How much money is the QB coach paid? If it's more than $99.00 a year then he is making too much. He should be fired by 8:00 am tomorrow and the second string QB moved up to first string by 8:01 am. Maybe give Nico a second chance next year. Maybe not. We want our opponents to do things like that, not us.

Everyone who wanted Nico over Joe last yr and Nico does the very same thing Joe did by running out of bounds instead of throwing it. Are you joe haters now Nico haters? Will there be a bench Nico campaign like it was for joe? Are you guys ready to admit the OC IS the problem?

In Heupels first year here, Milton struggled the first few games. We were scheming guys wide open and he was simply missing them. That’s hasn’t been the case the last 2 years. Our receivers are not streaking wide open downfield like they were in 2021 and 2022. Not sure if it’s playcalling or other teams getting a handle on our offense. But we have got to figure something out

Nico had multiple missed throws on the right read but also multiple instances where he didn't settle down and read an open receiver. Slants looked terrible with almost all of them being really low.

Just on the last drive:
He missed the throw to Kitselman that would have likely sealed the game.

He panicked and rolled out and in doing so missed at least 1 if not 2 open guys in the end zone. One was WIDE OPEN. Instead of attempting a throw he runs out of bounds. It's unconscionable.


I get he's on his 6th start but he's a guy who has been here for over 1.5 years. He should be able to read and hit a slant.

I think Nico realized he scrambled too far and could no longer throw it, and by that point it was game. Frustrating mistake, but he will grow. He led us down the field to be in a position to win, but bad clock management & play calling killed that last drive.

Don't scramble too far then. Get someone who is smarter than that.

A RS freshman QB does that.

Dude, he’s 20 years old. He’s been in our program now for 22 months. That’s something a middle school QB should know not to do. Throw it into the end zone and let it get intercepted.

An interception over the middle to a defender that fell back in coverage and it was some new wrinkle to a defense is something that a RS QB might do. Running out of bounds without at least throwing it up to our receivers is concerning about his football IQ. We knew this in 2021 with Milton when he did it against Ole Miss. At a minimum, Heupel should’ve told him to be sure to get it into the end zone somewhere.

It’s clearly just to save face. It was a stupid mistake. The moment was too big for him. It sucks but we gotta move on and hope he doesn’t let yesterday stick with him

He exposed his football IQ to us on that play. He needs to go to like Miss State. These people wanting him to continue as a starter are limp wristed losers. If no change is made Napier will bring Florida in here and whip our a.s just like he did two years ago. See if I'm right RockyTop140. A week from today just see if I'm right. Heupel's achillie hill is not making changes when needed just like the 2 coaches before him. A great coach, a great leader has zero tolerance for someone who is incompetent. If Nico starts next week then one thing I know for sure is that Josh is not a great coach. Hanging onto Martinez was a big red flag.

You’re going way overboard. It was a stupid play, yes. I hope he will be in the film room all week learning and growing. Anyone declaring any absolutes about Nico at this point in his career is trolling

What that tells me is that he is more concerned with his personal stats than winning the game. That play right there will come back to bite him come NFL draft day though.

I see it differently. I think he is afraid to make a mistake.

Either way, you can’t win that way.

He’s obviously trolling. I made the mistake of responding to him, too. I won’t repeat that mistake.

Stop acting like you’ve been contributing to anything because you haven’t.

Fans have nothing to do with NIL? Wrong. You can literally join the Volunteer Club and pick how much you wanna pay per month to the NIL funds. Stop acting like you know what you're talking about because you don't

The Vol Club is maybe 5% of the total NIL funding. Most of it comes from the rich boosters
