Favorite to land Tommy Stevens

[MetEdDawg]

He was the Gatorade POY in Louisiana his senior year and he didn't get that award from just rushing. He's also set more than half a dozen MSU records already in the 3 games he's played in. Y'all would be fighting like hell if Joe was trying to bench Dak for his PSU boy well I'm doing the same for KT cause I think KT can be that good if he'd just be given a damn chance. Who gives a shit about a spring game performance. I haven't watched a spring game in over a decade because they are totally worthless.

KT is in his 4th year of college. If you have to use him being a high school player of the year to bolster your argument of how good he is, that should tell you all you need to know about what he's actually done in college.

Dak and KT aren't even freaking comparable

Stevens is in his 5th year of college with a lot of his very limited QB stats coming in the 4th quarter of blowout wins. Even if we get him, here's to hoping either KT or Stevens can have a break out year. If neither can or does, things on O don''t look good.

Key is starting his 3rd year, but yeah, HS stuff is useless at this point

[Relardo Sidney]

You are making this judgement on his recruiting profile and 3 games against absolute dog shit defenses where he threw for under 50 % completion % and lost to the worst defense in the country.

In what world is it even remotely not disgusting to use the Fitz broken ankle game where KT was suddenly thrust into a game the opponent was intentionally spearing his ankles as grounds for not starting KT? Are you human?

Dak and KT aren't even freaking comparable

Freshman/Sophomore Dak & KT are absolutely comparable. Are you high? Dak didn't really become Dak till his junior year.

[Really Clark?]

Stephens has completed like 20 passes total in 5 years. Penn state didn't even trust him to throw the ball so they turned him into an option Qb.

Yeah it had nothing to do with them having an extremely good starting QB in McSorely. Heisman candidate at that. He sucks because he couldn?t oust him...got it. It was a close competition that McSorley eventually won over Stevens. It wasn?t like he sucked so bad they had no choice but to play McSorley and he just worked out for Penn St

Sounds pretty similar to KT not being able to oust Fitz doesn't it?

You need to re-read Dak’s soph stats if you think that is close to comparable. 2700-2800 total yards and 23 TD’s

Not even close. Not even in the same universe. You have no clue what you are talking about with that comparison

In the world where you try to convince everyone that you have a better grasp on our quarterbacks than Joe Moorhead. When you make stupid arguments you get the fact that KT has done absolutely zero in actual football games to warrant this outrage over our head coach wanting a different quarterback thrown in your face.

[BuckyIsAB****]

I'm questioning Moorhead's ability to develop QBs right now with his hand constantly in the cookie jar searching for something else. Mullen could take nobodies and turn them into All-SEC types. I realize that's rare and very few can do that but damn if Joe doesn't even want to take on the challenge. Keytaon has plenty of tools to win a lot of games. Develop a damn playbook tailored for him and stop looking everywhere else for your solution at the QB position.

Yeah Relf, Tyson Lee, Russell were All SEC QBs

[BuckyIsAB****]

I realize that, but most people who have a closeup view of the team under Mullen know that his offense was not all that mentally challenging. Sort of a power spread, if you will. What Joe runs takes a more cerebral qb. Good route runners.

We lost to Florida for one reason. Dan and Grantham knew how to stop the only offensive weapon we had better than anyone. He knew exactly how Fitz would react in every situation.

Our success under a joe will depend on how he nationally attracts kids who are capable of getting their offensive assignments and keeping Bob Shoop or someone of his caliber running the defense.

Regular fans just want a bowl game and an egg bowl win. This is why last season wasn?t the disaster to them that it was to the message board hero?s.

My prediction is at some point in the season we realize the offense is very effective but low IQ kids, no matter how talented, won?t work in it. In the long run that is good news for MSU. It will remove us from the bidding wars in this state for marginal kids. But we will will be back in the running for an AJ Brown. We never were as long as Mullen was here. Mullen?s offense was the reason we couldn?t land wr recruits.

The bad news is that it will take Joe at least 1-2 more recruiting cycles to build it.

I?m glad Mullen did what he did, but I believe within the next two years we will be glad he moved on.

It doesnt take high IQ kids to run this offense. It does take some football sense, but if you dont have football sense by your freshmen year in college you aint ever gonna

[Maroonthirteen]

The difference in Mullen and Moorhead at this point in their careers at MSU.... is the fan base was starving for wins in Mullen’s first year.

I’m thinking ... it isn’t so much tinkering as Moorhead wants more....: mores production and more wins.

[BuckyIsAB****]

If KT was as good as you think he is Joe would have put him in after Florida. Fitz being a 5th yr senior be damned.

Or in the bowl game after Fitz did his own thing 3 plays in a row on the goaline....or at LSU when he threw 50 interceptions. Moorhead put KT in at WR and RB. I love KT but that says a lot

[Relardo Sidney]

You need to re-read Dak’s soph stats if you think that is close to comparable. 2700-2800 total yards and 23 TD’s

KT has started 3 games. How bout you compare Dak's first 3 started games instead of using an entire season.

Not even close. Not even in the same universe. You have no clue what you are talking about with that comparison

Oh so suddenly McSorley is miles better than Fitzgerald now huh

In the world where you try to convince everyone that you have a better grasp on our quarterbacks than Joe Moorhead.

Typical Genespage response. Don't bother ever discussing anything on a message board cause the head coach always makes the best decisions cause head coach durrrr. Still a dick move to use KT's game vs Ole Miss as reason to not start him this season too btw and KT would have won that game had our DBs and Grantham learned how to cover anything thrown over 15 yards deep.

Or Moorhead just doesn't like KT. Wouldn't be the first coach to not play a player cause they don't like them. Mullen did it all the time. Remember the thread started by Swedenburg on this very thing.

You're probably right about the Ole Miss game and Grantham's defense. I would add also we would have probably won if one of our LB's had made a better effort to tackle their RB who ran right by him twice for 2 TD's.

Uh...I’ve always thought McSorley was better. Don’t know who you are addressing.

You were the one who shot off about the entire Freshman/Soph comparison between Dak and KT. Dont try to change the criteria when you looked foolish

Sorry but I disagree that McSorley is better than Fitzgerald but even if he is it's not like he's miles better so the comparison between Stevens situation and KT's is actually quite similar. How do you not see that? And I'm not changing the criteria at all you are by comparing an entire season vs 3 games. That's not a comparison. That's like comparing Rooker's entire last season to Rowdey's first 12 games of this season.

You specifically said KT’s Freshman and Soph YEARS are comparable to Dak’s. Not his first 3 starts (which he hasn’t even had) vs Dak’s first 3 starts. That is the definition of changing the criteria after trying and failing to make a point.

Doesn’t matter that you don’t think McSorley wasn’t any better than Fitz, experts, early Heisman pundits, Vegas, the draft, they all disagree with you

[bulldawg28]

You're making excuses. The dude has not shown he can pass or be a starter. He had a chance to beat out McSorely and couldn't. This spring he couldn't even beat out the current Qb after McSorely graduated hence the reason he's transferring. What are you looking at?
