And let's change the speed limit to 4 while we're at it.......

 

[Requiem For A Dawg]

Wayyyy too soon for something like this.

 

[MaroonNation]

Signed!

Why? UT named Peyton Manning Pass about 5 seconds after he graduated. He and Dak had similar careers.

 

[Junction John]

Agree. Love the guy, but let's wait until we have his entire body of work.

Wait until he wins 5 super bowls and 7 MVPs. You might want to rename the stadium... or the town. Don't waste your bullets too early on renaming one measly street.

I'm slightly surprised no SJW's have gone after renaming Bully Blvd. already.

 

[Drebin]

Why? UT named Peyton Manning Pass about 5 seconds after he graduated. He and Dak had similar careers.

A couple of differences:

Peyton Manning should have won the Heisman (it was robbed from him)
Peyton Manning was the #2 pick in the NFL draft
Peyton Manning won more big-time games in college
Peyton Manning was rookie of the year
Peyton Manning was a can't miss pro prospect

Dak was prolific in college but was seen a system quarterback by most scouts
Dak was drafted later in the draft
Dak's performance has been a surprise to most

I love Dak, and I'm excited for his career. I'm hoping he sustains it, and he probably will. He could end up being an MVP contender, for sure. But his success is more of a surprise than Peyton's, whose success was more expected. Dak will end up with a statue if he can sustain his success and prove it's not a fluke.

It should be named after him because he is our best player in history. His NFL career has nothing to do with it.....although he's about to be the NFL rookie MVP and is in the running to be the overall NFL MVP as a rookie.

 

[MSUDC11]

You have to put his name on the west side of the stadium with those others in the "ring of honor" at the very least. He deserves that right now without doing anything else in the NFL.

Jack Cristil, Kent Hull, Johnnie Cooks, DD Lewis, Jackie Parker, Shorty McWilliams..... Dak deserves to be up there among those names.

 

[SyonaraStanz]

If his name was Dak Manning and he chose to go to Alabama, then all of your points would most likely apply.

 

[Drebin]

It's not, and he didn't. You made my point for me.

 

[Xenomorph]

What he has done or will do in the NFL or what scouts thought of him pre-draft has no bearing on what he meant to our program. I imagine folks at UT felt the same way about Peyton in '98 when they named the street after him.

 

[SyonaraStanz]

My point being apples compare much better to apples, rather than oranges (pun intended).

 

[EngDawg]

Safe space street anybody?

 

[tired]

Should change it to Dakvegas

 

[MaroonNation]

Dakville

 

[Junction John]

I sincerely agree --

 

[maroonmadman]

Agree. Then we can re-name the Junction Johns the Prescott Pissers.

 

[Philly Dawg]

If you don't think Dak is good enough for such an honor, which is what you are saying, then 17 that. If he gets honored at MSU, its for what he did here and I don't care what scouts said or what his draft position was. He changed our program far more than Peyton did for Tennessee.

peyton never had to play against dak though.

Bully has done a lot for MSU as well.....
