Hooker would be good for a team that's already got a pretty good team and needs a QB on a cheap deal to come in. He has all the tools you need but he won't have a long career because of his age. He will be 25 at the time of the draft and 28 before he's settled in as a NFL QB. Crazy to think Lamar Jackson is about to get paid his first mega deal and he's 25! 🤣

Yeah that's the reality. Hooker could be Geno/Brissett in a couple years. Still a good deal for him, backup QB in the NFL for the next 6-8 years. He just has that level headed maturity thing but can actually sling it if asked. It's like Teddy with a stronger arm and can actually scramble or QB sneak

Corral has a long way to go to convince me he's an NFL roster caliber QB. The guy looked atrocious. I wouldn't be making any decisions with this roster assuming Corral is a lock to be on it.

He did, but Baker and Sam also had their worst seasons under Rhule, so that's why I think he should at least get a full offseason with actual NFL coaching. Baker will probably play again at some point so it will be interesting to see what he looks like with Rhule out of the building, not that I want Baker back but more of a coaching study

Oh, Corral will definitely get his shot to earn a spot given that he's on a cheap rookie deal. I just wouldn't be making any decisions counting on him to be on the 53. If he is, that's just a bonus. Hell, if we end up with three roster caliber QBs maybe we could even flip one for a pick or something. I'll never complain about having to make tough roster decisions. Better to have to make tough decisions than scrambling to try to find NFL caliber talent.

Yup, I'm just hoping it's a tough decision when the 53 man cut down happens. All still hypothetical obviously since we don't know if we're drafting 3rd or 10th and if PJ is gonna keep playing well or not

After his performance beating Alabama this week it'll be a name often brought up as our next QB.

I know , I know he's not from Alabama or Ohio, schools people want their qbs to come from( not too sure why, most have sucked in the NFL)..

But after Saturday yall will realize what us UT fans have known since last year, Hooker is the real deal.

I see a lot of people here gushing over Young and Stroud and they look good, not gonna lie but they are both playing behind the top 2 lines in college football. Hooker is leading the Vols behind the 32nd best O-line. So he's doing a lot more with alot less. 

 

Bring this dude home and let's go get him in 2023.

 

Hooker is a one read QB in a defined read offense with a coach who is effectively QB'ing the team from the sideline.

So no, Hooker is a no go and it's not even close. I was more impressed with Stetson Bennet and his ability to go through multiple reads and place the ball precisely.

So, I'd rather have Bennett, and I don't want Bennett at all.

    • It's honestly pretty interesting just seeing this pairing play out. Canales’ offenses (Seattle, Tampa) are run-first, under-center, play-action systems built around defined reads and intermediate/deep timing throws. That structure worked when he had QBs like Baker Mayfield or Russell Wilson in a system that created clear launch points and sightlines. His success has always been tied to a credible run game + play-action gravity. You can see that with the Panthers team building philosophy as well. Coker and TMac both are bigger receivers that won't get the best YAC production but thrive as possession receivers in contested scenarios. They're not the best in space and creating additional yardage in such, and would likely fair better systematically with a stronger armed QB who can create better opportunities on those boundary 1v1 matchups with stronger throws. Bryce, on the other hand, is a spread-native QB. His strengths are rhythm, spacing, quick processing, and off-script creation. Asking him to live in condensed formations with long-developing play-action concepts just hasn't been his forte. And well, his boundary throws are limited in velocity which takes a big chunk of the playbook off. And I mean a QB like Bryce can still work, it's just Dave's offensive philosophy and foundation is very much at odds with Young's physical limits and his own experience. So it's certainly still a learning experience for Dave to figure out how he can mesh his offensive philosophy with Young's strengths. He's very inexperienced with maximizing Bryce's strengths with his system. Would love to see us bring in an OC with spread experience and adaptability to implement a cohesive system with Dave to allow Bryce to thrive, as it's obvious we're sticking with him for a bit longer.   
    • Only thing I really agreed with is questioning why we didn’t take any timeouts on their last drive.  I know hindsight is 20/20, but I think it would’ve saved clock bc they were desperate to score as soon as the opportunity presented itself, but I also think it could’ve helped the defense regroup and maybe give us a better chance to stop them.
