Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

We also saw him last year. The point is, he can hit receivers in stride, and he can hit wide open guys. To this point, Milton can not, and Hooker can't throw the ball with any accuracy more than 10 yards down the field.

I'm sorry Hooker cost you all that money against BG, but it's a complete fantasy made up from nothing that Hooker can't throw the ball down the field. There's examples of him throwing dimes down the field in that Spring game you've clearly watched 5,000 times as well as from Saturday.

I just got an ESPN alert that we are undecided at QB. What a rush.

LOL. Hooker was horrible in the spring game.

Hooker also tried to throw the ball down the field a couple of times against Pitt. One was embarrassingly inaccurate, the other was very accurate, right to the DB for Pitt who sealed the game.

Almost every throw he had was behind the LOS or within 5 yards of it. The staff was clearly afraid to let him throw it, and we saw why as he ended the game for us.

Elijah Simmons at QB.

That should have been the 4th down call...QB sneak with Simmons. P.S. I would not have wanted to be the center for that play.

Not sure if this is the first time you've ever heard this or not, but take it easy on the Hooker

 

[BigSteve09]

Great plan here, don't let me know your thoughts.

For plays inside our 40 or inside the opponent's 40, we use Hooker. For plays 10 yards on either side of the 50, we use Milton.

For the first drive of either half, or the last 2 minutes of either half, we use Milton.

If we are down 17+, we put Milton in.

Everything else is Dickerson Pike

Then maybe you don't entirely grasp the purpose of this website.

Or maybe I have a brain and don’t care to bitch and moan about the qb who the coaches trot out there. They’re paid the big bucks, we pay to watch. Get over it lol. I’m as big a fan as anybody but I choose to not be miserable like half of you

 

[therickbol]

The fact that Jancek caught the first ball has nothing to do with the placement of it. If Milton is overthrowing Hyatt and Jones, how far does he overthrow Jancek?

He also hit Velus and Coby who was being guarded by Taylor, and Jimmy Calloway, which you conveniently ignored because it doesn't fit your narrative.

I am talking about overall stats. Look at the stats of who was most productive in the last 5 Orange and White games. That should be your first clue as to the relevance, or lack there of, from that glorified JV scrimmage.

 

[vol9799]

That was short term and Brindise and Johnson weren’t markedly different skills wise. That was more a Spurrier ego thing than credible strategy.

Nah, he did it with multiple pairs including Weurfell and Dean one year. SOS flipped QB's like a Waffle House burger.

It does not matter. HB can pass the football. hendon Hooker cannot. HB completed 70% last season in an all SEC schedule with no spring, no fall camp, while being coached by Chris Weinke and running a high school offense.

He's the best passer of the football on the team.

 

[Catbone]

Spring games are worthless. Spring practices are not, but the game is just for the fans.

This is mostly true

Discussing the team is the purpose of this forum. If you find that discussion to be pointless, but you find complaining about that discussion to be worthwhile, I think that's hilarious.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Apparently, Jimmy Holiday's senior stats were

1020 passing, 64%, 9 TD to 4 Int's. 1400 rushing yards and 21 TD's. That's Lamar Jackson like lol

Was curious..

Hendon Hooker
2652 passing, 62%, 28 TD to 5 INTs. 1236 rushing yards and 27 TDs

If the OL were solid, I don't think it is up for debate that HB is at the very least number 2 and is probably starting over Milton going forward.. but because the OL struggled against Pitt, Milton/Hooker are being used to add an extra running threat to help out a struggling OL and weak running attack..

I find continuous moaning and groaning to be pretty pointless. But people will choose to be miserable. I’m obviously here to talk about the team and read info, but the “qb gurus” and “miserables” are definitely pointless. Try again

 

[Chuckie]

Because Hooker can't throw the ball beyond the line of scrimmage. He's a RB playing QB.

If Heup can fix Milton, he is by far the better option. If not, we're either going to be extremely run heavy with Hooker, or we need to give HB a shot.

C’mon Bass. He hit those two seam route throws and they were pretty. He definitely showed better touch than what we’ve seen from Milton.

I wish HB could be the guy, but we don’t have the hosses we need to protect him right now.

 

[Rishvol]

I don't understand why we don't just send bass out there. How bad could it be?

Yet you’re the one complaining all day and telling people to literally “shut the hell up.” Lol. You may be the only miserable person posting that I’ve read.

 

[yourstruly23]

how much does the line improve getting Cooper back? We were rolling with him at center against BG.. the struggles started once he was out..

 

[SpringBokVol]

So Heupel says Milton is practicing but not sure if he will be available on Saturday.

Sure.

I wish I had the time you do to be on here all day. The people that continually moan and groan should shut the hell up. That’s not complaining at all, hot rod. Just calling out the truth

 

[Ace]

As I have written before, we will need all 3 QBs. Give it time. One will emerge

This is also my theory

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

I would under throw everything just as badly as Milton overthrows it.

 

[BruinVol]

I DONT trust JH to get this program where we want to be mainly Because his track record shows a lack of discipline BUT I DO trust him with QBs.

Keep in mind the starter this week is going to look good so it’s extremely important to remember this isn’t the week for experimenting. Let’s get a guy some confidence for florida.
