That TD pass on that flat route last game hopefully will help some with his confidence. It's a process for sure. I'm Ok with where he's at now. He's more comfortable when we roll him out which makes sense.

The physical tools are off the chart from the little bit I got to watch him play in high school. I've had the privilege (along with others on this board I'm sure) to play with and watch some high rated quarterbacks. And most of them get to college and do not pan out. I'll use Ty Keyes as an example. I didn't play with him but watched him 4 years at Taylorsville. He was a legit HS QB. Cannon for an arm and could run. Long story short, he gets to college and doesn't really do much. He had all the tools but imo Mississippi schools are way behind modern offenses and it really hurts these kids when they get to college trying to learn to read defenses and schemes. The tools can be there but they are useless if you can't read whats glhapoening on the other side of the line if scrimmage.
Lebby has proven that he can take a disaster and get some better players in year 2 and make us competitive with a chance to win in close games. Now the question becomes can he get over the hump? Or is he our football version of Ben Howland. I say this because Howland took over a horrible situation with Rick Ray and made us competitive again in basketball but couldn?t get us over the hump to be a consistent tournament team. He lost so many close games at the very end for several years just like Lebby is doing this year. Next year is really going to be the determining factor for what Lebby can do. Lebby is the first Miss State coach that is 2 years into his tenure and I haven?t made a decision. I?ve been a State fan since the early 2000s. Croom I knew at this point wasn?t the answer, Mullen I knew right away would be good, Moorhead I knew the second he was announced would be a disaster, Leach I wasn?t sure about but by this time year 2 I was bought in. Arnett I was willing to try it until about 5 games in. Lebby is still a question mark
Yeah I agree. Same thoughts here except I thought when we hired Moorehead that it was a good hire. Boy was I wrong. I gotta say that Lebby has me really excited and worried at the same time. I dont know how I have this feeling but I do. Extreme highs and extreme lows lol. Atleast he does it right when he does it, no lukewarm stuff. It's either estatic or heartbreak so far in his tenure.
It's more about getting him in touch with the right QB trainer in the offseason than hiring someone on staff.

Big difference between Moorhead and Lebby is at least we are on an upward trajectory with Lebby whereas with Moorhead we seemed to get more and more sloppy and everything seemed chaotic. We looked completely unprepared in year two under Moorhead. And that's probably only because our defense in 2018 was simply too good to fail.
To me, we don't look unprepared. I would say we were more prepared than Texas among others in fact. It looks to me like we lack depth. It seems like every injury is a major issue for us and every mistake gets magnified.
Special teams lost the Texas game.
It looks like whatever he's building is being converted to doo doo as soon as it arrives.
Yeah, great suggestion. Let a loser keep losing. He'll eventually figure it out in year 12, we just have to be patient. Sick of this garbage. Winners win, losers lose.
THIS is the correct answer. But, it is also on his shoulders to correct those problems through recruiting, the portal and coaching hires and so far year 2 isn't much better, if any, than year 1. I think there has to be significant improvement in year 3 to get a year 4.
You see him scheming differently each week. Beginning of the year the complaints are he checks down too much then it’s too many HR balls. With a bad line on either side of the ball it’s very limited what you can do and the fact weve hung the amount of points we have is impressive in itself. D gets worn out eventually but impressed by them as well.
