If he?s not feeling more internal pressure to improve than pressure from Key, we won?t have a great season.

Coach Mo said after practice yesterday that Fitz participated in the 7-on-7 drills and some of the passing drills. I didn't get the impression from that interview that he was a full participant.
That's true- and why I expect Fitz to make a full recovery.
As far as the mental I think the way it happened may cause Fitz to play with a chip on his shoulder and look for vengeance. We'll see. The truth is Dan exposed our QB's way too much with his running system- and even moreso with his penchant to default to a QB draw when he freaked out which everyone in America knows he would do.
Nope. Unless his leg falls off he is the starting QB next season. There is no heat there is no QB battle. Quit trying to make it one. Fitz is miles ahead of Key. How you weren't able to see that after watching the Egg Bowl and Bowl game is amazing. I think you need to watch two years of Fitz's game footage again you seem to have forgotten all of it.
I?ll be perfectly honest and this is my own opinion. I like Fitz but don?t love him. I respect his toughness and play making ability, but don?t think he?s accurate enough to lead us to ATL. With Key, there is obviously more risk, but the way he throws leads me to believe he could be a more accurate passer than Fitz and thus give this team a higher ceiling.
Again, I could be way off here but this is from my own evaluation. I know Fitz will start but I?m skeptical as to weather he can be efficient enough in the passing game for us to be an elite team.
Can Key do that? I don?t know, but I was really impressed in the bowl game with what he could do. It just looked right to me.
I know people will point to Key?s stats and the bowl game and Egg bowl to try and prove me wrong, but that is low hanging fruit as stats aren?t always indicative of talent. I like the feel and touch Key has when the ball comes out of his hand and believe their is a ton of ceiling there, particularly when asked to throw catchable vertical passes in Moorhead?s offense.
Saying Fitz is the automatic starter doesn?t make him a better player or more efficient passer
You will see Fitz's passing improve this year now that there is more talent at WR.
Now Shotgun this is a post I respect. I am sending you rep because you admitted what I already knew you thought and I like when someone owns up to it. You need to watch Key's two games and watch his decision making. It's nowhere in the same neighborhood as Fitz. Fitz understands defenses, reads and makes better and much faster decisions than Key does. He should he's got 3 years experience on him. Key can't make up the distance mentally that Fitz has on him. I believe you're also about to see a big jump in Fitz's accuracy this last season as he's learned how to throw without using his legs as much to heal his ankle.
Key isnt as good a passer as Fitz and he wont be this year. I dont understand how anyone can look at the two and say Key is better at anything.
I like Key but it was obvious he wasnt ready to come in that Egg Bowl. Played well vs Louisville but Fitz is gonna be the best we have ever had this year.
There hasnt been a QB at MSU with the talent Nick Fitzgerald has. Fitz won me and the team over when he battled his ass off in 2016 when he was getting knocked around like a pinball vs Bama. The BYU game proved a lot as well as he showed he will fight and put his body on the line. There wouldve never been a QB controversy had Mullen not done that stupid shit with Dam Williams. Fitz did not help himself up to that point with all the partying and extra curricular activities he had going on up till 2016.
Now I will say this, from a well connected source that Key works his ass off, even that he will work harder than Fitzgerald but that is just one mans opinion.
I think both of them play but Nick is our QB.
