Joe Milton III performance

[Franklin_Vol09]

He has made the touch passes this year when he played.

He made it a few times but they were easier, pre snap read passes.

 

[KeyVol14]

One would think Squirrel white takes Hyatt’s spot.

 

[posivol]

He has made the touch passes this year when he played.

and he's putting that shoulder down w/ contact on his runs.

 

[RavinDave]

Vols should find the fastest track man around teach him to catch the ball next year and just say run and tell Milton to out throw him to the endzone every play hahahaha

They should run that at least once every series when the line of scrimmage is on our side of the field.

 

[driscokid]

If he can do it when the pressure is on then we have a monster next year

 

[DrTNT]

Beautiful point is you reload straight to Milton with a monster arm and an understanding of the offense while nico gets groomed, bulked up, and learns. Ball passes from one great to the next to the next

That is always the goal with recruiting have a guy waiting so when the current guy leaves, you’ve got a guy ready.

 

[nomads-11]

It's his job to lose, and I doubt it happens. It's very nice to know you have a QB with the skills and two years in the system to take over. I hope he has a similar outcome as Hooker has, but realistically we may lose some production from the position. But it's nice to know he can rival it. It'll give the other two quarterbacks more time to acclimate. Very nice to know the all important QB position has a solid outlook for the next couple of years.

What'd help A LOT is if the defense can make a big, not incremental, jump next season. That'd obviate any drop off in the offense, if any.

And then the squirrel gets sniped. Crazy throw and catch

I think it came down from so high it knocked squirrel down.

 

[Sarms58]

Milton could be incredible if he’ll work hard

I think he has been working hard - Heupel develops QBs. Joe will continue to work hard and will be coming to take names and kick ass next year…

 

[Smokey7]

Excited to see Milton light it up next year (hopefully he returns)

 

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

He made it a few times but they were easier, pre snap read passes.

He showed he can do it. We will have to wait till we see him do it next year. No need for doubt at this time.

Milton certainly is coming back from what I heard here.

 

[IndianaVol]

Ive been one on here stating to expect a step back in the offense next year because Milton doesn't have the "tools" Hooker displays.

From what little I've seen in the UTM game and today's tilt against Mizzou, I might just be eating some crow (I hope).

I'm excited to see more of Joe in the USCe and Candy games.

 

[WoodsmanVol]

The Milt Man delivered.

Passing - Joe Milton III 3/3 105 35.0 1 0 100.0

Rushing - Joe Milton III 1 11 11.0 0 11

 

[LordBolton]

I was impressed. He's giving me thoughts of JaMarcus Russell lately with that monster arm and size. He has the tools.

 

[GAVol21]

Actually, it was 60 yards in the air. Tennessee 35 yd line to Missouri 5 yard line. Announcers got it wrong.

Actually, doing a little math shows it was roughly 62-63 yards in the air. He was on opposite hash and threw to other side of field. Hash marks are 40' apart, field 53.5 yds wide. 60 or 67, hell of an arm and throw!

 

[Braemar_Vol]

Zero, he has the strongest arm in the country, we are lucky to have him next year. Zero drop-off at the most important position. Yes, Joe can be that good, as good as Hooker this year.

While I certainly hope you are right that Milton can be as good as HH, I just don’t see it…he is an amazing athlete & has a cannon for an arm but there is more to QB’ing than throwing the ball as far as you can…time will tell and I hope you are right but I would pump the brakes just a little.

 

[DrTNT]

Keyton, Bru, Squirrel, and Holiday

I don’t think Hyatt leaving is a foregone conclusion, plus add Merrill, Nimrod, Webb, Leacock, Seldon, ?? Spillman

 

[LordBolton]

Milton almost had a many passing yards as Levis did vs Vandy. That's first round talent

Can't be, Levis is the 2nd best QB in the draft! Maybe 3rd best now that he lost to Vandy.

 

[voltnh]

Last year, this pass would've been completed to a POTS trumpet player....

 

[BelieveTheHeup93]

Hyatt is projected as a first round pick. He’s not coming back. I would love to see it happen, but it doesn’t seem likely

 

[DrTNT]

I was impressed. He's giving me thoughts of JaMarcus Russell lately with that monster arm and size. He has the tools.

Only Milton does something Russell never did, he accepts coaching and watches film…

 

[Franklin_Vol09]

Here is my hot take (and wishful thinking).
Milton will show out vs UF in Gainesville. All the talk will be about AR15 but Milton will steal the show. 100 yards rushing 300 passing.
That will be his real big coming out game next season.

We may have our choice of anyone in the portal too.

 

[Franklin_Vol09]

He showed he can do it. We will have to wait till we see him do it next year. No need for doubt at this time.

Difference in pre snap read passes, and making a decision on your 2nd or 3rd option and delivering a timely and accurate pass.
