Will we ever see a starting quarterback from Tennessee in the nfl?

[Volunteer_Kirby]

Nico has a great chance of becoming a franchise player. Hes got a ton of marketablity and enormous upside. We will see if he can learn to avoid some hits. If he improves there and continues to progress as a passer then we are looking at a future top 5 pick.

 

[YankeeVol]

He has actually been hired the previous two seasons not even being on a active roster. There weren't any trades when he suited up two years ago for the Titans nor last year when he played at Arizona and Minnesota

He was traded from Arizona to Minnesota

For whom? I thought Arizona released him then he immediately signed with the Vikings

6th round pick

I’d love to see Joe Milton, hendon hooker and Josh Dobbs starting they should get opportunities to be a starter for a football team in the nfl

I don’t know if any of those guys are good enough to be starters. Hooker and Milton could end up as starters. Dobbs has proven he can’t get it done. Hopefully going forward, Heupel has multiple QBs starting in the NFL.

I will say yes and relatively soon. Nico, Merklinger, Fazion. The future is bright for UT at QB.

Let's get him on campus first.

Just skipping over MacEntyre?

I like him, but I think either Merklinger or McIntyre will probably transfer. It will be hard to hold on to all 3.

 

[swampfoxfan]

I don't why I thought Levis was taken in the first round. Hell, I was thinking they took him pretty early in the first round too

I don't know why bugger eater was taken in any round

Nico will still be here in '26. Again, If Merk and Mac are still here, let's see if Fazion actually signs.

Not sure if that's a given. If he is then it's more likely Merklinger transfers. JMO.

Unless he balls out next year......he hasn't shown chit this year.

He has flashed at times and hasn't been a turnover machine like most young QBs are. I wouldn't be surprised if he takes a big step next year. He clearly has arm talent and can also run. The NFL loves those 2 traits.

IF he does, we won't be in this mess with the playoffs hopefully

That is, until our angry fans run off the OC and QB coach who recruited them.

We'll have UGA at home and Bama will have a new QB (as will UGA).

Faizon will be here. Unless Merklinger just loves it up there so much, he might transfer. Or, maybe not. Mac will have to be impressive. Faizon will send at least one of them into the portal, if of course, he is the real deal. Most of it is unknowable at this point. Most importantly, we should be freaking thankful we're attracting stud QBs!

Edit: The last time I can remember that we had a choice of studs at QB was in 1994 with Jerry Colquitt, Todd Helton, Branndon Stewart AND Peyton Manning

That Peyton guy I vaguely remember playing a while....

He sucked. Only 2 super bowls

Peyton Manning says hello

And played in 4 Won 5 MVPs The absolute GOAT from UT. Yes, and I almost hate to say it, but greater than Pat Head Summit

Dude has made over $5 mil. He's on the Falcons practice squad

Been around for a long time.
Done alright for himself once he got away from the Moron coach at UT

Some of these youngsters need a history lesson.
