What games in 2021 did it look like to you that Milton was better than HH?Just go look at the game threads
Why were the VT fans here saying “I told you so”?

I personally said after the Pitt game he made a bad read at the end but for a guy that wasn't practicing with the starters and came into the game with no prep, I thought he looked great. I really didn't need VT fans to tell me what I could see.
It wasn't obvious to me that Milton was better at any time that season. I believe you're saying that early on he was better. Since it's not obvious to me, I'm asking you to point it out.And why did Hypel say that Hooker would remain the starter?
All these things are written down. It was obvious to you at the time…..so this should be no big deal for you to locate.
I’ve given you the tools to answer your questions.It wasn't obvious to me that Milton was better at any time that season. I believe you're saying that early on he was better. Since it's not obvious to me, I'm asking you to point it out.
It's either true or not, so specifically, at what point In the 2021 season did it appear that Milton was the better QB?
Your post:I’ve given you the tools to answer your questions.
You offered you opinions on what was obvious to you. Clearly Hypel had a different criteria on what was obvious to him. He clearly said so. And what he said matched what happened on the field.
Why did Hypel say Milton was the starter?
Why did Hypel say Hooker would remain the starter?
He wasn’t. It was “obvious” to everyone watching practice at that time who should be playing.Your post:

At what point in 2021 did it look like he should have been the backup?

I have no idea what JH said two years ago, if you have the quotes handy then post them. So to clarify, you are or are not saying that you saw live game footage in 2021 where it looked like Milton was the better QB?He wasn’t. It was “obvious” to everyone watching practice at that time who should be playing.
Hooker worked hard and earned everything he got.
There were legitimate concerns and criticisms early. He overcame them and his second season was awesome.

So to clarify your post, you did or did not see live game footage that made you think that Milton was the better QB? If so, specifically what game(s).thank you.
So you think that Hooker was the best QB for Hypels system but don’t know what he’s looking for to run that system.
I think we’re done here.
Lol
I do not. However his parents want him to develope so NICO has the best shot at his and their dreams. No matter how bad you want him to play I doubt you get your wish. Maybe a few series against Vandy and Uconn. It was never in the cards for Nico to be the guy this year unless serious injury to Milton. Beating a dead horse“Destroying his confidence”? How you know he wouldn’t go out there and play better than Milton? Why is it you automatically think he is going to do bad? If he is what everyone thinks he is and will be, he will be just fine no matter when he plays. I’m not a #1 QB, but I’m sure a 5* QB could throw for more than 100yds in a game and have a 48 QBR.
I can't imagine Arch staying past next spring if Maalik comes in and plays well in place of Ewers. I realize opinions are like "well you know the thing". That's just my opinion, that Arch won't stay at Texas if he's still 3rd string behind Ewers and Maalik post spring practice.He's not leaving Austin. Nico isn't leaving Knoxville
Because Virginia Tech fans are dumb. He was better than anyone on their roster and his stats will show that. Prior to UT Hooker was averaging 9.3 yards per pass, and done scored 37 total TD’s. Milton had 9 total TD’s and 6 interceptions, yes real close.why were the VT fans here in the game threads saying “I told you so” in the first few game threads when Hooker got to play?
You’re pushing a Bull **** Narrative.
No coach who’s going to last in the SEC is going to put the second best player in just to see if he can play during the game.
I get that you wish you were a decision maker instead of a career order taker. But none of your BS matches reality.
If Hypel was in love with Milton he’d have put him back in over Hooker when Hooker developed. Before you start with the “but everyone could see…” nonsense, everyone watching practice said Milton was the better QB till he wasn’t. Then everyone watching practice said Hooker had developed into the better QB so that’s who played. Unlike CJP who took Tano out to put him back in over and over, Hypel goes with the best guy. It’s clear you don’t bother to read what the people watching practice are saying about the QBs. Now.
Yes I saw the game footageSo to clarify your post, you did or did not see live game footage that made you think that Milton was the better QB? If so, specifically what game(s).

ya, Hypel is making 9mil a year. He doesn’t give a **** what you think.After Milton got healthy, Heupel couldn’t go back to Milton. Could you imagine the **** storm or the noise if Heupel went back to Milton
They were haters because his 1st year stats was way better than anyone they had and he didn’t even start the 1st 2 games. Let’s compare what Tech had to Hooker in 2021:Just go look at the game threads

Ok Ms. Milton have a great day. I admire you defending your son, but the entire world sees he’s not a good QB.ya, Hypel is making 9mil a year. He doesn’t give a **** what you think.
He has a criteria that he’s following. You’d need to understand what he’s doing to understand why he does it.
We’ve got nfl QBs saying that his system is genius and it takes a long time to grasp it….but sure he’s just playing favorites with who he picks to run it.
Good lord
