Nick Fitzgerald

[MagnificentBastard]

Fitzgerald is on track to have the 3rd best season for a qb in MSU history. He is 40 yds shy of cracking the top 10 in total offense for a season. He is already in the top 10 in TDS responsible for in a season. If he stays healthy only Dak last 2 seasons will be better than Fitzgerald's season this year.

Nick has been the least of our problems this year.

Something else to remember... We are about to play the meat of our schedule. Only Auburn and LSU has better defenses than some on this final 4 of our schedule. Bama and aTm will shut us down, I think.

Fitz has to develope the mental parts of his game. Sucks we're likely going to miss a bowl, because those extra 2 weeks of reps and game could really Spring him into 2017.

I still dont think we're running very many read options with him. Looks like mostly designed runs one way or another.

 

[ShrubDog]

Fitz is the best thing going for our football team.

 

[vandaldawg]

This is a strong point...

Not to diminish what Fitz has done to this point, but Dak did it under the lights in Death Valley, and when EVERYTHING was on the line against aTm and Auburn. I think Fitz can do it, but until he does...

 

[Dawg1976]

He makes mistakes, but he tries hard and is improving. Something you can't say for several of our players.

 

[Indndawg]

Give him a modicum of OL and new OL coach and watch him improve

Nick seemed to take the reins last week, something I was really hoping to see. Almost lost were Gray's numbers. Didnt he have two more long catches called back? That rapport was vital.

I think you're right. And there was an awful lot of backslapping going on when he (Fitz) scored a time or two for there to be the rumored dislike for him on the team.

 

[MaroonNation]

Unfortunately of Fitz these final 3 opponents will not allow him any more stat-worthy games.

 

[Msubulldogfan1]

He's got a ton of potential imo. He could get some numbers on arky and OM. Possibly tamu. RIP against bans tho.

He's got to put in a lot of work this off season but if the OL continues to suck balls it won't matter much anyway.

Dak didn't do that as a Sophmore either. Dak also had a better OL than Fitz has had so far.

Dak was a turnover machine in several games his sophomore year too (the carolina game comes to mind). Fitz has done an incredible job of taking care of the football as a sophomore with little throwing experience.

 

[MaroonNation]

If you remember that Carolina game was the last week his mom was alive too so he probably was having a lot of distractions.

 

[Lawdawg.sixpack]

Dak also had a bowling ball. And a Bear.

Until the Liberty Bowl at the end of Daks sophomore year, he was very inconsistent. Flashes of greatness (at aTm comes to mind) and moments of ineptness (OK State, USCe).

Hopefully we get similar returns from Nick next year.

 

[LTblows]

His Junior year. Let's see what Fitz can do after another offseason.

 

[coach66]

Fitz is going to be a very good QB, that's it. Now, what can we do for the

defense.

 

[Digging dog]

Fitz is goona be a very good QB. Wish he would a little less "straight up" though. Speaking in reference to the red zone runs. Seems if he'd get lower he could run people over. IMO

Winner right there. our O-line is complete trash. it really shows you how good Dak was, and how good he could have been. imagine Dak with LSU's o-line the last 2 years. plus Fournette in the backfield.

 

[thf24]

I feel like there was too much smoke to that not to be true when the season started, but relations between him and teammates definitely seem to have improved. Producing and playing gutsy will have that effect.

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

He is the most improved part/player on our team since game one.
