Wallace is nowhere near the QB that Russell is. Damn Ole Miss wins 6 instead of the usual 2 or 3 and the media goes nuts. I wouldn't be surprised if Bonner was told to write that article.
Its doesn't matter fellas. All I ask is don't start praising these guys when they start writing nice things when we win. Make them pay for being dumb.
He threw 17 INT's last year to only what, 22 TD's? My God, some of these media members should try doing a little research and spend less time riding the hot story. Apparently the Clarion Ledger is getting more Ole Miss traffic than MSU traffic. Nothing is based on facts in the news anymore, it's all about ratings and viewership.
We have a nation of Nancy Grace's in the media now.
They get more Ole Miss traffic because they write many more pro-Ole Miss articles and cover them more. I personally don't like to read articles that are mis-informed and negative towards MSU.Quote:

We cancelled our Clarion Ledger subscription. Got tired of their garbage.Quote:

Wallace won the Connerly, that's about the extent of his knowledge.
Right now here's what we have in MS.
OL: MSU > OM
WR: OM > MSU
TE: MSU > OM
RB: MSU > OM
QB: MSU slightly > OM
DL: OM slightly > MSU
LB: OM slightly > MSU
DB: OM > MSU
But that's all subject to change. Looks pretty even right now. Wouldn't be surprised if we're both 6-5 going into the Egg Bowl. But things could, and probably will change dramatically.
He was the 5th best qb according to espn too, it's not just bonner
That's because Freezus and crew leak all this to them so it's gets pub. Our staff doesn't do that and tries to keep everything as secret as possible. Just different approachesQuote:

Honestly, if Wallace can cut down on his turnovers and stay healthy, he will have a better season than Russell. I dont think Wallace will stay healthy if they run their offense the same way. He got knocked out of a couple of games last year but did return, plus needed surgery postseason. I see more of the same headed his wayQuote:

You can't be good if you're hurt and turning the ball over.
I definitely believe Russell is better, not significantly better, but better. The reason Wallace gets the love he gets (even with his INT problem) is the fact that he has a guy like Moncrief to throw to. I would say that Cooper from AL and Moncrief are the best 2 WRs in the league. Also, OM's WR corps as a whole gives Wallace the opportunity to hit the HR ball which we don't really have and added to that I do believe Wallace is more accurate on the deep pass than Russell. If you've watched Russell over his career you know that he is very accurate up to about 25-30 yards but after that not so much. I still get a sick feeling from the 2011 SC game we lost 14-12 in Starkville when Brandon Heavens got behind the coverage and should have had a TD but Russell overthrew him by 2 or 3 yards at the SC 10 yard line. If Russell would have made that throw we would have won that game.
