Sec mid defenses . When he played them boys from Thee OSU

is Ryan Day monitoring this situation carefully and making calls to his bag men
he said its neck and neck with the qb competition right now. throw some money at nico

CFB is a business now.

Tennessee mess up by not having a back-up plan at QB. Nico knows this team has nobody behind him.

You have to two dependable QBs now in these big programs.

Always been a business. Players can now make demands

 

[papa pimp]

he is trash

this will be a problem until a CBA happens. need buyouts, need multi year deals, need to have clauses and penalties, guaranteed money, etc

 

[FS4LFE]

He’s mid but get your money playboy

 

[Tupac in a Business Suit]

A guy whose 6'6 and still has 3 years of eligibility that had a decent season against SEC defenses will be in demand. He already got like 2 mill when he did nothing, so year price went up.

True but not what he’s asking. If you watched the games, he held the ball too long, stared down receivers and had accuracy issues all season long. If those same SEC defenses didn’t have to respect the Vols run game it would have been worst. The only time he earned his pay was when they would knock the shyt out of him and he used his legs to run.

Says it all in his last name

We have a future Heisman finalist on roster now. Qb is the last position we’ll be looking in the portal for. Don’t let that coach speak fool you.

 

[Voice of Reason]

I would like to see him at Georgia over what ever cac they have lined up.

P4 CFB would have to break away from the NCAA and form their own league for that to happen, it’ll never happen under the NCAA

[Braman]

They should let him leave since they've wasted enough money on him already,

Dude is mid.

Silly. First, the money is a drop in the bucket

2nd, he just finished his r-fr season and went 20td-5int and is on Heisman watchlists

A program like Tennessee isn’t a marquee QB spot, so for there is going to be drop off to the next guy. Especially this late in the game

 

[Big Blue]

Why are brehs acting like Nico isn't nice for a freshman? He could easily get millions on the open market.

 

[TUA TAGOVAILOA]

He is mid but can they get better this late in the game?

Probably gonna be a few decent QBs enter the spring portal once QB races start to take shape.

He was good against bad competition but when he played elite competition he was bad
