And here's the really cool thing about any and all of it.... in just a few months, we get to see if any of it is worth the sweat poured into it.

We'll see. If he works on his footwork ect he should be excellent. Has all the leadership skills.
Footwork, release, timing and accuracy. Get those things worked out and we should be good to go.

When Dak has a line he can rely on he's very accurate and reliable, even under pressure. When he gets consistent pressure is when he gets happy feet and his footwork falls apart. I really need to keep Percy's stats to that effect saved for these circumstances until people start to understand.

Dak wasn't a good passer in high school.

Dak wasn't a good passer in college.

Dak isn't a good passer in the NFL so far.

But he's going to turn into Joe Montana any minute now.

Sounds like a plan.

Anyone who can lead Mississippi State to first in the nation with no supporting cast can certainly play football very well. That fact alone should have probably made him at least a second rounder.

When you’re a team trying to win a SB, at some point in the postseason, you’ll run into an opponent whose defense gives your offense problems. Having a good defense yourself means you have a chance to keep the score close until your offense can get on track.

Without at least an above-average defense, it’s highly unlikely you’ll win a SB.

Above average defense, or at least opportunistic defense, or preferably both.

:huh:
hey verdict. Do you mean a mid season ranking?

They ended the following seasons (AP and BCS))
2013..unranked, unranked
2014...11th, 7th
2015...unranked, unranked

He was very good, either way. But they never finished number 1 or won the SEC...and finished unranked more often than not.

In 2014, they had a stretch at No. 1, then lost 3 of their last 4 games. They did beat A&M and Auburn that year in back-to-back games.

Oh, I realize they got "ranked" #1 at one point. In some circles the tale as grown to where some are saying they were actually a number one team...which is a gigantic difference.
I remember they excitement for them (and Ole Miss) in 2014. As the season went on, reality occurred. No fault of Dak's.
And that 2014 Miss St team had several NFL players. They weren't jags. Even finished 7th after the bowls. Great season
Then, when the talent dropped off the next year, they were back to being an unranked team.

Yes. It was a mid season ranking. The point is if you can lead a noname team to the #1 spot (even though it wasn't sustained) with almost no help that's pretty damn phenomenal.

It doesn't matter if it was Chickiepengap University or Miss. St, that's a big deal. If it was Alabama it wouldn't mean as much because the entire team is stacked. But he carried Miss St.

So they hit #1 in the nation. Quite an accomplishment given the lack of anything around Dak that year. So what's your point? I'm kinda curious. Are you disputing that they did indeed hold the #1 spot for a period of time?

It was misleading. Not to mention, polls are wildly subjective and speculative.

Voters thought they did something by beating #2 Auburn. Then, Auburn lost 5 of their last 8.

Losing to Ole Miss and Georgia Tech to finish the season exposed Miss. State.

Yeah but one could easily argue that, without Dak, the "getting to #1" run never happens.

No, not at all.
fwiw, he was outstanding, but that 2014 team DID have lot of good players.
