Yeah right! He?s from Macon, MS. Played in a low level, low football IQ conference, and he?s going to step in and be ?somewhat? productive in the best collegiate conference in the country vs the best DC?s in NCAA football. Tell me how much it cost to go to Starkville for a football weekend. Nobody?s willing to waste their money on a ?freshman experiment? in the NIL era! We would have lost by 3 TD?s with him running the offense tonight. MS high school football is not a spring board for players to start their freshman year in this conference! There?s absolutely no one you can use as an example at the QB position to make that argument! Dak was not ready as freshman, neither was Tebow.Quote:

KT has got the POTENTIAL to be good, maybe great (at MSU), but he?s not mentally capable of leading an SEC team his true freshman year. All it takes is one solid hit, and he?s questioning his abilities. It?s maturity first, athleticism and God?s gift come in second!Quote:

Start KT vs FL, aTm, GA, OM, Texas and guess what, everyone of you on this board will throwing his ass under the bus for bad decisions/results. MS high school football is not going to prepare ANY qb to be be a starter as a true freshman?.PERIOD!!!! You can?t win that argument EVER! The only thing you will win is the bitchfest that will follow!Quote:

When he tucks it and runs, then gets lit up a few times by some grown ass men in the SEC. That ?scrambling/making things happen with his feet? will be tempered down a bit, especially if he realizes that he doesn?t like being hit by more physical defenders. The mental/physical aspect of playing in the SEC is real, and it can ruin a player.
I sit in Section 19 and there was way too much orange and I hear the upper deck was much worse. I hope the State fans that sold them their tickets choke on the money.Quote:

But guess what, we are going to take them with Blake too.Quote:

Nobody wants to spend the weekend in Starkville for a freaking freshman experiment when the portal is available for immediate ROI. Jesus, where in the 17 have you been lately? ?It?s not what can you do for me in the future, it?s what can you do for me NOW!!? Nobody wants to drop a grand a weekend for football/baseball for future gains. They want immediate ROI. Welcome to collegiate sports!Quote:

Except for Dak who we redshirted first. And then he was the back up for year and a half or so. And then he started.
Hell the two turnovers weren't even his fault. Why not bench West who has at least one major **** up a game at TE? He should have caught that pass that was picked. And why not bench the tackle that got worked when Shapen fumbled?
They brought about 12-13,000 fans from the looks of it. Our fan base is smaller than it was 10 years ago.Quote:
