Name one FBS school that Parker Puckett would start at quarterback? Name one that would even have him listed as their number two quarterback?

He wouldn’t even start for an FCS school.
This is true for a lot of backup quarterbacks. I really don't get the uproar over Puckett. Do I wish we had an all-American on the bench backing up KT? Sure. But that's not gonna be reality. There is obviously a big drop off to puckett, but ultimately he didn't play that bad yesterday. It was really more about getting whipped on both lines of scrimmage, having no running game to speak of, and offering no resistance on defense.

We all know this. He's not an SEC player yet, and may never be. But no sense trashing the guy for giving it his all.

Blame Lenny. Just like I blame Croom for playing the QBs he did. It's not the QBs fault.
If his dad wasn’t Ha$tings Pucket, we wouldn’t ever be here talking about him. He’d be at Belhaven or Milsaps at best.

It's funny how State fans rage over white quarterbacks. I thought Shapen would be burned at the stake last year.
Who are you, Ben Crump? Al Sharpton? It’s because we haven’t had a good one since Fitzgerald. Who btw, is my personal favorite MSU qb. Shapen and Puckett are not even in the same stratosphere for comparison, and they’re both white. Dak was half white.

So? That's life. Rich people get some advantages.

Choosing to spew your shlt at him says more about you than him. You come out of hiding after 6 months, and this is what you come up with? (well, other than your weird mental health thing with the willrogers handle)

Yeah but which half ?? None of this is Billy Pucketts fault. Lebby is the one who decided to play K1 against Bama and further aggravate his turf toe. We will be lucky if we get him back this year. My guess is Lebby will put him out there against OU and reaggravate it and surgery will be the only answer. That would be something you can legitimately b*tch about

Louisiana Tech, UAB, and SMU wanted Lyddy. Northern Illinois, Wake Forest, and Illinois wanted Hampton. No one wanted or wants Billy phucking Puckett. Get serious.
Both are redshirt seniors. Puckett is a rFR. And he would beat both of these guys out this year at USM. There's a reason why neither are playing for SMU, Northern Illinois, Illinois, Wake, La Tech and UAB this year.

So you’re ok with Daddy Ball at thís level? That says more about you than it does me.
You are opining that this is daddy ball and then assuming that that is true. It's your opinion (and it's a really stupid opinion). There is no evidence that his daddy bought him a roster spot and there's no evidence that Lebby played him because of that.

i'm one of Lebby's biggest critics, but this is stupid. Did his dad fire you or something?

Just asking because I was unable to watch one play of the game. You said we had no running game to speak of but looking at the stats we rushed for 170 yards at 4ypc. On the surface that looks pretty good when the other team knew we had zero passing threat.

LSU really called off the dogs on us and the second half of that game and then stiffened when we got on their side of the 50. So we finally were able to rush a little bit. But in the first quarter/1st half of that game when they were really stacking the box to take the run away from us, we were completely ineffective.

Will Rogers name should ever be mentioned in the same breath with Parker Puckett. And Puckett getting to wear Dak’s number is down right blasphemous.
I agree with you. Parker Puckett is light years better than Will Rogers. It's an insult to the game of football and to Puckett's family to utter their names in the same sentence.

I think now we're at the root of your issue with him. Let go of jealousy and live a happier life.

The fact is, Puckett beat out the two backups we recruited and paid to come here. Great for him. And great for Lebby for playing the guy who won the battle, and not just playing one of the two duds just because we're paying them.

While I don't know whether Parker belongs on an SEC team or not (hard to tell behind our O line) I do know this . I know his mama and daddy and their parents as well and there is no one in either family (LOL and either grandfather who are big State fans could afford it) who would ever even consider buying any of their children a spot on an athletic team . They are just not those kind of people .

I’m sure their contributions are paying some roster salaries

He did have a better game against LSU than Marcel Reed did. Would we rather have Puckett as QB2 or Marcel Reed as QB2?

Tough decision but I think I'm going with Puckett.

He could be the A&M starter and I don't think their record would be any worse than it is now.

Please don’t disparage the Puckett family. You all have no idea of how much this family has done for our university. Going back a long time.
I am not saying a roster was or was not bought for this kid. I am just saying this family has done a LOT for our university.
The only one who has an issue is Mr Dumbass bulldoghair.

Aka by his other username, Will Rogers.

Yea the university gave his grandfather an honorary doctorate degree for his long time contributions. But yea his roster spot and jersey number came blue collar. I don’t care what his family has given, Parker Puckett has no business taking snaps at an SEC D1 school. That is asinine and outrageous.
