Hendon Hooker

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.

I've found him intriguing lately, although I will confess I have not seen him play a down.  His stock could rise quite a bit based on this next game, win or lose. 

The thing I have read about him that worries me is that he plays in a one-read offense.  For those who have seen Tennessee, is that true? 

If so, we already have one of those (who is our only QB signed for 2023).  That does not mean either Hooker or Corral can't be anything more than a one-read offense, just that they haven't had to for the last few years.

But, as I said, I do find Hooker intriguing.  Not first round intriguing, but interesting none the less.

I really like this guys game.  He was under the radar good last year, and hes kicked it into a higher gear this year.  Hes a true dual threat guy, and I am really impressed by his passing this year.  Assuming he continues to have a good season, I would be very interested in bringing him here.

Assuming he is a first or second round guy, there are other intriguing guys with higher sealing as well. Cam Ward and Anthony Richardson come to mind. I also think Tanner McKee is someone to watch.

After watching Anthony Richardson this past weekend, I dont see how he would declare for the draft this year. It would be a huge mistake. He still has a ways to go.

    • We could easily pick apart yesterday’s game: dropped passes, blown coverages, bad tackling and red zone issues to name a few. But it was clear that this wasn’t the same team from earlier in the season. They fought back and hung with the champs until the end. That’s what I was excited to see and it gives me hope that we’re on the right track.
    • I think BY played well today and exceeded expectations. I will temper future expectations as he has to string together many games of consistent quality. One game doesn’t convince me that he is a franchise QB or even a guy you want to stick with for another season. One game doesn’t erase all the negative play and limitations from the past couple of years. I hope he balls out and continues to get better but for me the verdict is still out   That said, I think he gave the team and fans hope yesterday which is a lot more than what we had when we woke up Sunday morning. 
    • He was vastly improved today and we need to see more of Bryce the rest of the season to continue evaluate him in order to decide what the heck to do with him at the end of the season. He must play at least like this and improve more from here the rest of the season in order for me to keep him. No more 123 yard passing games and want to see at least this output weekly from him. If this is Bruce improving slowly over time then Canales is even better with developing QB's than I thought he was but still too early to tell and we need to see him the rest of the way as he has at very least earned back the starting gig moving forward.
