I fully get your point! I even said in my post that many (not me) WERE calling for Branndon Stewart to play. This isn’t new. Find one post where I “bash” Nico. You won’t because there aren’t any. I have never called for him to be pulled and he is our QB no matter what happens and I fully support him. All I did was correct your errors (around PM) in proving your point in comparing Nico to PM. Mostly about tying the entire W/L record to PM.
Then also saying it’s not a 1:1 comparison. Redshirt rules are different. Back then you couldn’t play half a season and retain a redshirt. That whole extra year makes a difference. If Peyton had been here a whole year before being made the starter, he likely would have performed better. But we‘ll never know. If “pumping up Peyton” translates into “bashing Nico” in your mind, then maybe you shouldn’t open the door by comparing him to a HOF. That’s not fair to Nico. I “get” the full careers are yet to play out but like I said, that’s a HUGE hill to climb.
PM is my favorite Vol of all time. I get annoyed when people say crap like “he went 0-4” against FL.“. No, he only started 3 games and those FL teams were all top 4 or better. ”Tee is better because he won a NC”. How many would PM have won with THAT defense? “Peyton went 8-4 he freshman year”. No, the TEAM did. He went, 7-1 and basically “righted the ship”.
Don’t presume to tell me what I would have done with PM because I supported him through every snap of his entire career. Don’t tell me to continue to bash our players because I don’t bash our players. Like I said in my post, I would LOVE for Nico to have or exceed the career PM did. The jury is definitely out and let’s just let Nico be Nico without bringing PM into the discussion…..
