Chattavol420,Have you not seen any of Joe's other games he has played in this year?Precision pass,on target,etc.Maybe the coaches yesterday did not want the possibility of him getting hurt,as that would leave Tavon as the only backup.This time of year,take the W,don't get hurt.and on to next week.

I think he will start the season just like he did last year...and he'll also be displaced as the starter, like last year, if he falters. Heupel has shown he'll do exactly that

The best man should play. I have watched Milton come in and drop dimes when he has had his chance. I have also seen a lot less timidness when he runs. He isn't afraid to truck someone if he gets loose now. I won't sell him short. We should all hope that he is ready next year to take the reigns. He knows the offense better than any of the youngsters. Have you seen the awesome plays that Hendo Cinco has pulled off? I formation and such? That is beauty. Joe knows this offense, let's root for him.

I will root for him but he should have shredded UT Martin's defense and he just didnt, he looked indecisive and couldnt find open receivers and there were open receivers he could have thrown to, I hope Im wrong but we wont win big games with him as Quarterback.

That makes entirely too much sense.

Yep. Bizarre that you would find an opinion on a fan message board. I’m sure this is the only one on the entire board.

Opinions are fine. And it is my opinion that it's delusional to believe you have a fraction of Heupel's ability to evaluate quarterbacks.

Jesus H. Chryst that was the absolute stupidest thing I’ve read all day. The obsession with Peyton 25 years after he last took a snap is just ridiculous.

1. Arch isn’t Peyton.
2. Even if he was, Nico is just as good if not a better prospect with at least an equal if not higher ceiling.
3. He doesn’t really fit what we are doing with our offense, while Nico does.
4. Nico may have the stronger arm and is mobile.

Nico committed to us before we became the hot ticket this year, while Arch never showed any interest, and he’s not any better than what we have.

I hope not. It takes a seasoned QB to run that offense effectively. A true freshman will not have the college game seasoning to do that. Starting out I think Nico will be number three and by mid to late season maybe number two.

I said he made a mistake in getting blown away by Milton’s physical gifts and went with him instead letting him amd hooker play it out on the field. Am I wrong? If they’d have both played hooker would’ve won the job by the end of the second game. Milton isn’t a good qb. He can throw a ball a long ways and he’s really big and athletic. But he’s not a good qb

Maybe the only mistake heupel has made thus far is choosing Milton prior to the start of last season…as opposed to playing multiple qbs to begin the year allowing someone to win the job against real competition. It was a mistake. I know a lot of people will say I wasn’t at practice and how dare me try to make an observation only a coach should make bla bla. But, we have all seen times when a coach handles a qb competition early in the year by playing multiple guys until one has clearly established himself. That’s what should’ve happened.

Anyway, my point for bringing this up is most around the program seem to believe Milton will be our quarterback next season. Kind of a placeholder until Jackson or Nico can take the reins. I hope that is not the case. Milton is not going to just all of the sudden become a good qb. He doesn’t lack knowledge of the offense or need to develop physically. He possesses all the physical ability and is an intelligent/high character kid. What he doesn’t possess is pocket awareness and moxie.

I expected him to pick a part that defense today with pinpoint accurate throws and lead three or four scoring drives. I realize we were run heavy but he just isn’t good.

Playing QB is all about Moxie, pocket awareness, understanding distance and timing, accuracy, and understanding when to move the sticks and went to take a shot. There were several situations Milton threw low percentage balls on third down when he could have easily ran for the first down allowing the offense another set of downs.

Anyway, for all the amazing decision heupel makes day in/day out he seems to have a flaw when it comes to a kid like Milton. I think he becomes Infatuated with these physical capabilities and thinks he can coach the Moxie/pocket awareness and Savviness into him. But he can’t. Who cares if your quarterback can do backflips? Or throw a ball 80 yards? It’s totally irreverent. I hope he allows a competition between Jackson and Nico to play out. But I don’t think that’ll happen. I think we’ll see Milton out there to start the year.

Have the coaches not earned your trust to play the right guy yet? if not then what team have you been watching. As far as Milton goes, he has improved leaps and bounds since last year. This staff knows how to develop a QB. RELAX. we are 7-0 atm. enjoy the ride and worry about next year....NEXT YEAR.

Yes
You don't know the facts, apparently.
Hooker was the QB in the latter part of the Pitt game, threw the INT at the end in fact.
That was the second game.

I don't what you saw during that game that give the indication he is not going to be any good. You must remember he wasn't playing with first string and he only attempted 7 passes. That td pass to squirrel was spot on.Most plays where runs just killing the clock.

As has been said, he has apparently improved a lot from year 1 until now. Another year in the system, and maybe he can do some really good things. Do I think there are still gaps in his ability to handle every situation as it arises? Yes, but we need to enjoy the QB we have this year. We cannot expect every year to be like this one. At least Milton can hit the long ball with very little windup. That can overcome a lot of deficiencies.

Long story short: I think we will be fine, no matter who the head ball coach chooses to go with. We have way more to worry about in the defensive backfield.

So they weren’t wrong to go with Milton? You e got to be kidding. Yes, it was a mistake. Milton isn’t in the same stratosphere as hooker.

Oh boy. Here’s the thing. There’s really nothing to worry about. Whichever of the three guys who will be competing for the job - Joe, Tayven, and Nico - is going to have to beat out the other two. That’s axiomatic, and I’m stating the obvious to emphasize it. Iron sharpens iron. I expect Joe to start next year. If you want to panic over meaningless minutes in one game, go ahead, but I expect him to be ready. If one of the younger guys beats him out for the job? That says a lot about their skill and progression, and will be very exciting.

I’ll go out on a limb that I don’t think is a real limb: if Nico beats out Milton for the starting job next year, he will be a Heisman contender as a true freshman.

Yeah, that's the thing: If either of the young guys beat out Milton, they will probably be good enough to do great things. If they don't win out, I think we have some excellent backups. So either way, I think we are in fine shape.
