Probably because I melted down.

My bad guys.

I HATE it when someone gets hurt and that looked kind of dirty to me.

We've been through so much and to have something else bad happen just pushed me to my limit.

When a loss doesn't hurt, I'll walk away for good. No one understands a good melt down like me haha

Maybe God was protecting KT from Lebby tonight.

He doesnt need protecting feom Lebby. Its football. Players get hurt. They are paid to play and you friggin demanded him to play. I believe one of the selling points was experience for next year.

Word from the locker room is that he is up walking around with no brace just a limp. After watching that hit I don?t know how something isn?t seriously hurt though.

There is a picture that Robbie Faulk took of KT walking around after the game in the tunnel.

If that's the case I'm thinking it's a sprain.

If Taylor by some miracle didn't destroy his leg tonight, he may should use it to run from this cursed hell hole.

I wouldn't blame him either.

He should get an MRI to check for ligament damage, it would likely be done once he gets back to Starkville if I had to guess.

You believe? You obviously don't know what I've said or think. The coach is also paid way more than players to coach and think for the entire program. He was hurt 3 times and limping extremely bad before the final injury. Only an idiot sends and expects an injured player to out do someone healthy. I guess you're that idiot.

Well we are not used to people actually going in hot on a tackle.

If it wasn't done though I agree.

BUT the fact that he can put weight on it is a good sign as are the initial reports.

I don't think Lebby would have put him out there if he wasn't 100% confident he was healthy enough to play.

It's not like Kroemenhoek didn't play tonight.

???????? The last series he was limping tremendously and still out there. The series before that he could barely stand and Lebby didn't call timeout or take him out of the game.

Jamming his neck into the ground wasn't a cramp. Also, If you can't run full speed in a game where people are trying to kill you you're likely to get injured worse. That's regardless the type of injury. You see how this works? It's so simple a 5th grader could understand. Do I need to break it down to the 3rd grade level?

Nah. It wasn't a neck injury. Not only that, you complaint was he was limping due to injury. He was not injured.

But let's go with your "he was injured 599 times and should have been pulled" over the top emotional take. He was also hurt vs ole miss. So in 2 starts he's been injured. What was it you use to call our QB???

If he is that injury prone this is not the game for him to play.

The head coach for Wake Forest challenged the 2nd down assuming KT was over the line of scrimmage. During that play he got up could barely stand and Lebby didn't call timeout or take him out during the review. It was only maybe one series or two afterwards he was limping and no where near ok. Also, if a player says they can go and not concussed coaches will let them play. How many times do you see players trying to come back in the game only to realize they can't play full speed after returning. KT just wouldn't stay down/out until he couldn't.

He needs to protect himself because Lebby is going to run him like a Rb.

Why would we take a timeout during a review? Do you really think we weren't checking KT out during the review? If it wasn't for the review we probably put Luke in. And hell- wasn't that the TD drive where KT played his best all game when he threw that strike to SanFrisco?

No it's hilarious because you wanted KT to be the QB the whole time because he was more mobile and now that he gets hurt running the ball you're mad at Lebby because he couldn't "protect him".

And you don't understand that this isn't 1998 anymore and there are injury protocols that have to be followed. And spare me- you were the one wondering why we didn't take a timeout during a review of a play.

Agreed. It's amazing to me that 2 people can watch the exact same thing and come to different conclusions. KTs decision making needs a LOT of work. A whole hell of a lot! There were tons of plays he left on the field last night with bad decisions. It comes with experience. He still has that 1 read then run mentality that young QBs have. The elite ones learn how to harness it and use their speed to their advantage. I watched him through HS and it was the same mindset. Not playing him more earlier this year was costly. But he wasn't ready to take the full load and still isn't and won't be for a few games next year probably. I just hope he puts in shit tons of work now that he's the man and makes up a lot of ground quick. I think he can and has the workhorse mentality to do so. He's a more athletic Chris Relf right now. Hopefully he can become more like Dak before next season.

It doesn't matter if it's a designed run or the Qb takes off you protect yourself. A intelligent coach tells tells his Qb to slide or throw the ball away. KT has do make better decisions that assist with the process. However injured in a meaningless game you pull him.

or maybe you sound like he should wear a big ole padded suit. He still must improve pre snap reads and processing progressions or he won't play much as folks assume or be injured or both. and we thought shapen was injury prone. see what i did there?

I tend to agree. Between cramping and a head injury, he probably should have stayed out. But the kid is a gamer. Going to have to teach him to either slide or learn how to run behind his pads though. He runs dead straight up.

what KT needs is a QB coach to go with an O line. I didn't know til now that you are also an english comp scholar in addition to your other experiences and talents. I will look forward to the 26 season and see how you digest it. i think they should start a comedy section for you and tater

I disagree about one read and run. He sat in the pocket wayyyyyy too long many times last night. That's bad coaching to put him in that situation. Everything should have been designed to get the ball out, move the pocket, or him running more decisively. Lebby left way too much up to a raw true freshman QB. It's bad coaching period.

He definitely runs straight up and makes himself a HUGE target. He'll gain another 10-15 lbs and if he learns to run with pad level he will be hell to deal with trying to tackle.

I saw it with my own eyes when he was in high school and I had people who were at practice telling me the same thing. Right now he cannot process the speed of the game. So he tucks and runs more times than not.

It is not a knock on him that he was not prepared to play at this level in high school. I think C34 alluded to this as well, but his high school playcalling was extremely simplistic. You also could watch them in high school and realize he was one Reed and go. If his first read was not open, he was running. You cannot do that at this level and play 12 games.

No it isnt. Its a young player with little experience not seeing the whole field. Not making correct pre snap reads. Not seeing guys open before they are. He has little instinct in the passing game.

He completed 48% of his passes vs Ole Miss. No amount of running is going to make up for that. All its going to do is get him injured.

He barely broke 50% completion this game. He had people open that he simply did not see. On his last sack, guy breaks through the LOS and 4 yards behind that guy is a wide open receiver. Standing there. And he did not see it.

Basically you guys are saying that KT is not ready

He isnt ready because of his passing game. And fixing that is not a 3 week deal. You can not adjust enough for that. It makes you one dimensional.

Thats exactly how WF played it. Run defense and attack the OL. A 50% passer will never win a lot of games.

KT is going to have to learn to play with a little less reckless abandon or he won't make it through a third of the season. He took a LOT of big hits last night. Lebby should have him practicing sliding as a skill to use to preserve his health. He is just not built thick enough to keep taking big blows over and over like he did last night.

I think it will naturally get better as he learns to pass. You could see last night he was deer in headlight if his read wasn?t there then he?d run. He gets up to 62% completion and running it just on occasional scrambles or designed runs where blocking scheme is setup he will be good. He was not ready this year and that is ok. Everyone knew it
