I don't remember Hooker's confidence being destroyed in 2019.

When his numbers were outstanding. It seems the most fun things for TSL posters is to avoid the evidence that doesn't suit their narrative. I'm happy for Hendon, but I see a 25 year college quarterback who fell into a dream scenario on a team with outstanding talent and an up and coming OC in a league guaranteed to give him maximum exposure. In the end though, he's 25 with 4 years as a starting QB under his belt and still he can't make a second read. The history of the NFL draft is littered with physically gifted QBs who had no business starting NFL games.

He also was a more mature quarterback at UT.

You don't care about a player leaving here after being here a few years

Does HH mention the 10 fold increase in talent at UT-e?**
Atlee Hokie 04/24/23 02:19 AM ET
It certainly makes the game a lot easier when you have talent around you**

VTCALS72 04/23/23 07:34 AM ET
Yup. I have no ill will for anyone in the story
Hokie1992 04/23/23 08:12 AM ET
Or maybe Hooker realized the only way for him to get to the next level
flhokie25 04/23/23 09:02 PM ET
Clearly FI’s strategy worked, we won 10 games with BB and FU got a huge

Except all the draft guys say that the vols offense is useless for an nfl
fordham 04/22/23 10:32 PM ET
Yep, UT's O is very unique with how much they spread the field pre-snap...
BROman Hokie 04/24/23 10:55 AM ET
So you’re saying “all” as in every single draft guy?Also, this is relevant
Stech 04/22/23 11:28 PM ET
I don’t know about all but the concern with Hooker and the Tenn WR’s, Hyatt
BG Hokie 04/23/23 05:15 PM ET
It’s the Proverbial “the QB can make all of the throws”
Hokie1992 04/23/23 08:36 AM ET
No, TN could do that because they had good play designs and a competent OC.
Gobbler Guru 04/23/23 09:32 AM ET
BB was actually moved to WR at San Diego state lol**

IronBlood 04/23/23 10:55 AM ET
OK, here's a simpler narrative.
Gobbler Guru 04/23/23 02:07 PM ET
Right, trying to conform Hooker got him disastrous results in 2019. Sure.
IronBlood 04/23/23 03:20 PM ET
If Fuente was highly successful and had a history of success...
