Honestly, they're stuck with what they have. Better off developing those guys on roster and just get a quality depth QB And focus on winter transfer.

The problem with going all in on Nico, you are left with a redshirt freshman with 9 career pass attempts and a true freshman that just stepped on campus.

Like similar to Alabama situation?

I don't like Tennessee at all... but their offensive system should not have a problem finding a gunslinger to take the reigns...It's an offense that can make a man famous...

Probably so!

But according to his dad, the offense was the problem!

Viles have found their man!!

It's not for everyone I guess... but Hype-all does have a dangerous offense with the right signal caller and receivers..

Serious question: When did Rashada get in the portal from UGA? And isn’t he the one who is suing Napier?

He was in months ago from what I recall.

His dad was right though. The issue was lack of depth at WR positions. They didn't have that guy who could go up and get it at will.

Second issues was OL. They struggled to protect Nico many time throughout the season.

Third issues was Nico. He had issues reading complex defense and kept making dumb decisions. Nico regressed and honestly this is similar situation Alabama faced as well.

Personally. Tennessee should focus on what they have and develop those guys. You got a coach who can scheme up plays. Prove it on the field. Show the world that they can develop players.

While they may not have had a true WR1, they had guys. Huepel adjusted to his strengths, the run game.
OL issues? I believe he was sacked fewer times than Milroe. Sacks shouldn’t be blamed solely on OL play, but in the last thing you mentioned, Nico. His indecision was the biggest issues. Huepel saw it and leaned on the run game.

This is not accurate. Nico has 28 sacks for 2024. Jalen has 23 sacks.

Tennessee’s offense isn’t what is was with Hendon Hooker, Jalin Hyatt and Alex Golesh. They didn't have any recievers who topped 700 yards for the season.

For what's worth Ryan Williams of Alabama 865 and G. Bernard has 794 yards.

Nico isn't good at reading defense pre-snap and post snap. He don't know what's coming most of the time and he needs coaches to tell him and you can tell.

Here's an example:

Tennessee can’t protect QB Nico Iamaleava, at least not well enough to run its preferred brand of offense. Let's dig into the sources of the problem.

To hear the UT fans talk, Nico was the worst college QB since Rick Clausen.

He isn't the worst. He's not the best. He's not even considered average QB. He's pretty much considered subpar medicore quarterback by Tennessee standard.

I said I believe, didn’t say it was true. I believe that I did say Nico was more of the problem though than the OL. I also said that they didn’t have a true WR1. I said that Huepel relied on the ground game instead of the passing game. He lost confidence in Nico.

Under Saban, the Bama loses you'll find a lot of Bama fans bitching about came down to their WR corps...in my view, at least. Unless his name is Dre', a SR is going to be a sophomore most of the time.
