There's a lot to overcome if someone wants to surpass Dak in the eyes of the fans because the guy was basically the first rock star football player we've had, then he goes to the NFL and wins rookie of the year (creating tons of new Cowboys fans in Mississippi) and then every time we turn around he's cheerleading for all our sports - not just football. He is our boy, and that will probably never change. But if Fitz could win the SEC he's probably be considered the greatest Bulldog on the field.
If Fitz takes us to the SEC championship, that pretty much means we beat Bama in Tuscaloosa and at worst lose one game in conference. If that doesn't put us at number one, it will be right there and the only reason Fitz will not have surpassed Dak is that Dak built upon his legacy with his NFL rookie campaign.
