Nico to start the bowl game? Confirmed

[Zues1]

I'm sorry, but what I seen from him Monday night was bad. Maybe it was just a one time bad game?

That game was a fluke ( we called em laughers) in baseball....
The Ravens are not as good as they looked and the 49rs aren't as bad as they looked.
I would not be surprised to see them both in the Superbowl

 

[TheVolsFrog]

I figure it could be used as another clip in the highlight video that gets sent to all the NFL scouts. Just like with a resume, you want to showcase all your past accomplishments.

Just like another poster mentioned.
It'll be his Combine and Pro Day where he'll need to shine for the scouts

 

[volfeeva]

It's late for a Christmas present, but Christmas no less.

 

[CAVPUT]

Yep. Hopefully Vol fans will be realistic about expectations.

If they let him the 22 offense instead of the WR screen/pay it safe deal we saw this year and he comes out healthy, I can accept whatever stat line he ends up with. I think 50% completions with 200 yards passing and no more.tham 2 interceptions would be a solid start to his career considering the stage and our opt outs.

 

[KTrain]

The line just went Vols by Fiddy, a Peyton/Manziel/Mahomes mix the best of all 3, I've read it here don't want to be disappointed. Go Vols

 

[JoeMiltonsAgent]

My client appreciates the universal admiration displayed by Vol Nation for him and looks forward to putting up an ongoing performance that any Vol fan can be proud of in the NFL.

He relishes the opportunity to display his scrambling ability, decision-making, and the ability to launch oranges amazing distances at the next level.

Good luck and best of luck to all his brothers in the bowl game. You're gonna need it against that Iowa defense.

 

[bpalmer28]

I’m excited

he's saving himself for that practice squad.

 

[RDU VOL#14]

If this is true, it sounds like Milton was being pushed out the door, so Nico could finally get some much needed playing time.

Personal opinion, but Joe wanted to start this game and have a good first series to help improve his draft stock.

If Joe has to worry about one series against Iowa to help his draft stock then our coaches are doing him or anyone else a disservice with their advice.

 

[Orange931]

Doesn’t really matter who starts this game. If it’s Nico, then Joe ty for your time with us.

 

[vollygirl]

Hard to keep a straight face when someone gets trolled by Richard G. West at this point.

RGW's credibility is trash now.

 

[Delmar]

It's a perfect moment. A stout, disciplined defense, to gain experience against and a game where it doesn't matter if they win or lose.

Exactly. Great learning experience for Nico and the result is secondary. Looking forward to seeing how he handles it.

 

[Sarms58]

This is going to be an incredibly hard game on the negavols.

Some guy on ESPN has him as the 11th QB and late 3Day or UDFA
We'll see how he does after Pro Day and Combine

May have to have ESPN+ to read, not sure

It really will be interesting to see if someone truly thinks they can fix the way he plays. I can't imagine him ever seeing the field well enough to get away from relying on throwing late fastballs and bombs.

 

[JCHateSteve]

I'm really suprised Joe opted out. You have to think the coaches wanted it to happen. After the way he has carried himself in Knoxville, I have a hard time believing he just bailed of his own accord.

 

[volsrock09]

My biggest fear is for him to have an outing like Klubnik had against us in the Orange Bowl. The most crucial thing for us will be for the OL to protect Nico and give him the best chance to shine

The saving grace for the bowl game IF he does play like Klubnik, is they don't have our 2022 offense on the other sideline.

 

[Shakinthefat]

Milton has been practicing.
He’s going to play and start

Are you sure about that?

 

[wrharvey21]

That’s weak and lame. Hopefully you don’t watch or support the team anymore. Fans like you are pathetic.

Yes we should all throw our support behind mediocre product. It's done so well for us thus far this millennium

 

[KnoxToTheBoro93]

Joe will shoot up boards with his pro day performance… he will Toss it around beautifully and make all the wow throws he has too much talent but he don’t got that great feel for the game but that won’t matter on pro day… he will likely end up going between rounds 3-5 when it’s all said and done… can’t coach 6”5 240 with probably the strongest arm in the country…

 

[Unconditional Surrender]

Are you sure about that?

I love it when someone makes what seems to be a safe guess pretending like they have sources and gets exposed

I blocked him a long time ago. Not sure if it's parody account, but it should be.

Occasionally he reports something that’s true, but he reports so much nonsense that no one takes him serious when he is right.
