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 amuses me how Goff's name the last few years is often used to compare to subpar or underperforming QB's. Now on the surface I get it. But when you look at his numbers he's been the same QB all along. He's improved his completion % but even with the Rams he averaged 63.4. And that Super Bowl he played in they should have won honestly. If we can get a QB as good as Goff I'll be pretty damn pleased.
    • And it remains to be seen if Goff has that ability or not. Plenty of very good QB's like Goff were not able to get over those playoff humps. Matt Ryan, Kirk Cousins, etc. You can still be an upper tier QB and never get over that hurdle. McVay just thought(and hasn't been wrong yet) Goff was never going to be that guy.
    • You literally simply have to think logically for either of those guys. Smith is locked up on a deal for 2025, so we would have to trade for him or he gets cut. Neither of those scenarios are likely in the first place.  Wilson will be 37 in 2025. Why on earth would he have any interest in a situation that is far worse than he was given in Denver and wasn't able to win there? He's a guy that can drop into any ready to win franchise in the NFL and immediately elevate their chances of winning(provided they already have QB issues).  Frankly, that is either speculation that even David Newton should be embarrassed by or it shows how disconnected with reality some people in our organization are.   I do agree with him on getting a veteran QB, however. That's our best chance to keep developing our talent.
