This year Williams is by far the best option. If a team stops his running Fitz ain't going to do much.
Exactly. People are getting all worked up because Damian completed a couple of jump balls. The guy gives us no downfield option and is limited in the run game. Not to mention he has no future with us being an upperclassman. Fitz has the tools to be really good. Give him the job and keep it. There are going to be ups and downs but he will make strides and is the much better long term option for our program.
Ask the players who they want in there.
We didn't call anything that would have given Fitz any success. We were running the Dak spread tonight not the Relf spread. If we call the game we did last week, this is a completely different game. If you are asking Williams or Fitzgerald to do what Dak did last year, you will fail offensively. It's pretty easy to see this.
If Fitz's helmet doesn't get knocked off, we don't score those two td's. That's just the truth. Maybe Damian is only good for two series, I don't know. But the team looks different in those two series. Overall, we have a problem.
Fitz is by FAR the best runner. Passing wise Williams is. NEITHER is a world beater at either right now. It is what it is. Against LSU you ain't gonna run the ball that well. TONIGHT I would have played Damien more once it became apparent Fitz wasn't going to move the ball. This is one of the only games I have ever faulted Mullen.
Look at the offer list of all three of our current scholarship QB's. You don't find and develop a Dak very often and he was higher ranked than any of these three. Even Dak spent a lot of time on his back against bama and UNM in his last games against them. I don't see practice, but our secondary probably makes all three look like the second coming of Joe Namath if the OL gives them enough time to pass against our DL. Play Tiano and the best young guys we have at all positions IF they are the best and settle on a game plan that fits them.
Mullen said the play of D Will will not affect the QB position. Fitz is the guy. Fitz was apparently dinged up after his helmet came off
I would start Fitz and let Williams be the relief pitcher.

I don't think we have the talent or coaching to beat anyone in the West this year. If we do, I will more than gladly eat the crow. I have never made a dollar coaching, but have spent a lot supporting State and will be there every home game. We, as fans deserve better than this in year 8 of Dan's tenure.
We didn't even try to run the read option seriously. We ran freaking Holloway up the middle and when we had Shumpert and Aeris Williams in there we were moving the ball well on the ground. Did you watch the JSU vs LSU game last week? You can most certainly run on LSU and they had the same type of QB Fitz is and he broke several big plays. What you can't do however is come out passing it all over the field like Dak did last year and be successful with young Quarterbacks. This is Dan being stubborn and it will cost us to not go to a bowl this year if this is what he is going with.
Tiano is the better qb out of all of them, he can run just as good and is a lot better passer. I'd play all my young guys and that's that. Win or lose and I can live with that.
We wouldn't have scored a td tonight if Fitz stayed in. I've got to give Williams credit for coming in and putting up points like he did. I agree that Fitz is the best option going forward but I don't get blaming all our offensive inefficiencies on coaching. We had some big drops and Fitz has got to hit guys when they are wide open.
People act as if Fitz should be a world beater right now. My goodness, this was his first road SEC game. Dak said himself that he's a better passer than he was to this point in his career. Fitz has all the tools but need experience and more development. People forget how bad of a passer Dak was early in his career.
