How about on the road, 5:45 left in the 3rd quarter, 4th and 3 against OM, leading 27-20 in last years egg bowl. Fitz hits Ross on a crossing route for a 35 yard TD!

Fitz. He has a better chance of throwing and running for it. With that distance either the LB's are blitzing or dropping back. If they blitz he can hit the outside WR. If they drop he can run and get separation enough to gain the 1st downQuote:

I love Fitz, but you crazy, homie. It's like you guys are too spoiled with our QB play the past several years. Don't start losing your minds...Quote:

I never wanna see this thread end
Dak became a legend on the Ole Miss 4th down conversion. Fitz makes that same play. I just want one game that Dak won that Fitz wouldn't have done the same.Quote:

Then his senior year he threw 29 tds to only 5 picks. Daks senior season his completion percentage was 10 points higher than nicks current percentage.Quote:

In regards to one of your questions, dak would have beaten BYU last year, USA last year, and maybe Kentucky (that wasn't on Fitz, tho). Nick would not have beaten LSU in BR in 14.
Dak was a very good passer that had above average legs. He could beat you with both. Fitz is an elite runner but below average passer. If you shut down the run, Fitz can't beat you through the air. Fortunately, we've only needed Nick to really throw it in 2 games this year, and will only need him to 1 other game (He wont).
Dak threw for almost 500 yards....Quote:

Again, an impartial metric (espn qbr) disagrees with you that dak was a more complete package. Do I agree with it? No, not entirely, but its unbiased and it clearly favors fitz.Quote:

I?m 53 and I?ve watched a lot of bad to mediocre qbs play at State. I used to wish we could have just that one elite qb like everyone else seemed to have. I think it?s cool that we have reached the point where we are discussing which one is the best ever. Both of these guys are better than anyone in our history and we got more in the pipeline. QBU! Dang don?t it feel good!
No, QBR shows that Nick is an elite runner (top 2 in the country), but a poor passer. His running ability makes up the vast majority of that. I would not call someone a complete package who is viewed as a liability as a passer.Quote:
