Well done Dakota. Thanks for all you did.
No Way. Archie. Best EVER!!! How can you beat those 31 TDs and 40 Picks! ***
It's ridiculous when you quantify it like that. Amazing what he's done.
Here's what's crazy. Fitz will have every opportunity to do better. I'm not sure we ever thought Dak could do what he did. But I think having seen Fitz's body of work he could do better because he will have potentially an extra year starting. It will be hard to capture what Dak has, but he's given us at least a template of what a successful MSU QB must do and Fitz fits that for sure.
But back to Dak. He is the kind of player that our type of program rarely gets. Let's not ever forget that and what he has meant to us. His legacy should be in all of us to go out there and do whatever we can to elevate MSU to one of the premiere programs in the country. He proved it can be done. If we can rally behind that and move ourselves forward, we will continue to be a successful program.
Alert Rick Cleveland and put Dak in the MS HOF as "Best College QB in MS History".
Favre is best overall Dak is better in college.
Ruling out Staley already?Quote:

I think there will be a QB battle but Fitz has almost a full year over Staley in terms of practice. That will show in terms of consistency. Hell we may go 2 QB for a while. But having seen Dan and his personnel decisions, I think Fitz will get the nod unless he's injured.
Yeah- but Dakota gets the nod for playing in the SEC- while McNair played in the SWACQuote:

It's simple.... Fitz and others following him have the potential to elevate on Dak's mark.
But Dak did it first. Dak set the marks on the field (more so off the field though....) and raised the bar.
QB's are now relevant and known at MSU for the first time in a LONNG LOOONG time.
Offense is now part of MSU, not dominating defenses....
Words can't sum up what that young man means to MSU fans... and I wish him nothing but the biggest success, and wherever he gets drafted...all of us will be big fans following.
God Bless that Man.... He is Family. The whole team is family. and everyone will always have their backs.
Don't listen to him, AJ... Its air raid from here out hahaQuote:

So ****ing deal with that UMiss...
Top 2 are Dak and McNair. I'm not sure anyone else is really close.
Hard for an UM QB to get those type stats today. Don't forget they seem to transfer in with only two yrs eligibility left.
Agreed, Coach...Greatest MS QB ever. Thanks Dak
I remember when my Dad used to carry me to Jackson and Starkville to see Tommy Pharr throw to Sammy Milner and David Smith. For a QB to throw for 1000 yds in a season seemed great. Thank you Dak for all you've done for MSU on and off the field. You will represent us well in the NFL as a QB and even more as a great role model when so many in today's world refuse or forget that responsibility.
100% agree and it's not even debatable. Dak has been a special, special player. He will be greatly missed.
AJ McCarron... 3 rings, and all...
oh, ***
You've also got some bench-warmers with 3 rings. They the best ever at their respective positions too?Quote:

Y'all don't want him. He can't beat UMiss.Quote:

He ain't perfect, but he's the best MS has ever seen at the college level and it really isn't close. Hoping Dan will invest another 3 - 5 years to get the next guy up to this level. He has a guy at this level every 3 years so I expect him to do it again.
shhhhhhhhh, don't tell Bafoom that...
Swag Kelly is da greatest evahhhhh. They will recruit themselves into the playoff... Wait....
I'll have to give you credit man, you called this one. When you first posted about our QB of the future being some kid named Prescott in LA, I never imagined what he would actually do here. I'm sure you didn't either, but when you made those initial comments I was excited... But Wow! What a career!Quote:

My father-in-law, some on this board I'm sure know, was the biggest State fan alive. Son played at State, grandson should be at State now, lived to see us reach number 1 in the nation. Then he rode of quietly into the sunset.
He exceeded what I thought he could do running the ball. And of course, there was no way to tell of his intangibles. His drive, leadership, dynamic personality in being the face of our football team has been outstanding. Hate to see him goQuote:

I'll admit - for all the crap myself and others have given you about your predictions this one was def spot onQuote:

SWAC gets auto eliminated- its not even good 1-AA ballQuote:
