From watching that, I'm not sure. He was making those defenses look silly.

If not QB, seems like everyone should have been on him as a TE or even a WR. Sure glad they weren't though.

Good grief!

He looks so much bigger and more developed than any of his competition. Seems like that makes it a bit tough to judge how that would translate. Apparently it did though.

Say thank you to Niel Stopczynski

From what I understand Jackie put him up in a hotel room so no one could find him.

Before or after he bought him tires?*********************************

The fact that he was only a 1 year starter at QB may have played a roll. I believe he played TE/WR previously.

I can see why Mullen said he had a strong arm and they could coach the rest. His arm had to be strong, cause that's all he threw it with. Footwork and motion were horrible.

But truth be known, and Mullen will tell you this, arm strength is about the 3rd or 4th thing he looks at.

Number 1 is mental and physical toughness. Because if you ain't got that, the rest don't matter.

Because the guy threw like 70 passes in high school.

Honestly, there might not be another coach in the nation that can work successfully with a player that raw.

Agree

In similar fashion to Dak & LSU fans, once we stomp Georgia's ass next year, all the Georgia fans will go crazy about why they didn't offer Nick without realizing that Nick likely wouldn't have been developed properly there or played in the correct offense.

He certainly has that. He's taken some pretty hard licks and hasn't even been shaken up all year, let alone injured, best I can remember. And he must be mentally tough based on how he's shrugged off the fan criticism from earlier in the year. I think we have a winner in him for the next couple of years.

Dang, the dude made a living cutting back against the grain!

[BayouDawg]

But guys didn't y'all see all those almost interceptions?***
But seriously I have criticized Dan a lot. There is one thing he can not be questioned on though. That is finding and developing qbs.

[Big4Dawg]

Didn't we offer him before he even was a starting QB? That should tell you something
