Y'all better be glad he's here. He gives us stability, health and someone that can make plays at the position. By the time we play Florida one of the youngsters might be ready to command the defense. They will be backing up Jumper and vetting reps.

Why say he wouldn't start at this school or that school? Who cares. Kirkland got hurt and it is what it is. The team and fans have to roll with it. We haven't even played a game yet, get behind them.

It's like Coach Fulmer used to say: sometimes the best ability is availability

Very original.
Jumper is starting and you guys constantly pissing into the wind isn't accomplishing anything unless you're just into that sorta thing.

Daniel Bituli was a 4-star and is a fantastic athlete. If Jumper is starting, it's because he's earned it, not because there are no other options.

It's pretty comical.

I'd love to see Jumper to do great this season just so we can rub it in all the doubters faces.

He doesn't deserve all this criticism when literally, he's probably better than most these people on this board when it comes to playing football.

Bituli has looked better in his limited roll than jumper. We know what we are getting with 53. Everybody wants to cheer for the next feel good story. It's about winning.

The problem is you are comparing him to volnation posters instead of the rest of the SEC. That's what's comical, is that supposed to be a compliment to him? 😂😂😂

Congrats 53 on being better at football than nationdom and dobbs4heisman.

I'm behind the team, always have been just saying we should have better options by now.

Your post was about better options, daddies and walk-ons. If you want to argue that you prefer Bituli, then you should have said that.

Both have looked good at times.

All I'm saying is, the "his daddy donates" cheap shots are silly. Shoop has made it pretty clear for a while that he likes what Jumper brings to the table. I certainly think Bituli is the better athlete, and they'll both likely play, but let's not pretend like Jumper doesn't have some ability.

I have to agree here. The water boy could blow past me, but that's not gonna get him very far.

Let me guess Alvin Kamara didn't derseve playing time the last 2 years?

Why is it hard for people to admit that Butch Jones has had a history of poor personnel decisions. Hell it goes back to 2015 when he played Colton Jumper over DKjr against Oklahoma.

We must have had some recruiting failures then. He has some ability not SEC starter ability.

What's your point? Kamara played. Hurd was a solid back for 2+ years. Kamara should have played more.

Bituli will play, so will Jumper. Just because Butch may have made questionable decisions in the past doesn't mean every decision is automatically questionable.

I'm not even arguing that Jumper is the best option, just that the "his daddy donates" cheap shots are just that, cheap shots.

If you want to blame Butch, go ahead, but don't rip Jumper for earning the starting job.

Obviously you're too ignorant to understand what any of us are trying to explain.

Jumper's spot wasn't "given" to him. It was earned just like every other player has to go through in practice if they want to play in an SEC game.

His fathers money doesn't have a damn thing to do with him getting playing time at the MLB position. If you think Butch is dumb enough to play Jumper only because his father donates money to the University, then you're about as clueless as I thought.

The fact that you continue to throw shade at the kid like he stole your lunch money in high school or something, is ridiculous. He gives it his all for Tennessee despite not being the most talented. He's going to play this season whether you like it or not.

He was dumb enough to let Jalen Hurd remain on the and become a cancer in the lockeroom. I don't have to like it hopefully he makes some plays while he's in I'm just saying we should have better options by now.
