He's on the Just Missed list.

Should we start a fire Pat Forde campaign?

I've been trolling Pat since he released that article.

Fitz does get a mention in Pete Thamel's "best QB class in history" article.

So we don't have to push an all-out boycott of Yahoo Sports.

I'd just assume he not get too much more recognition until December

Who all had better rushing seasons at QB in the SEC than Fitz? Did he has the 2nd or 3rd best year ever?

And would the player(s) that beat him be left off this list? I'll answer that hypothetical: Nope.

I don't think any team we face this year will be sleeping on Fitz. Everyone and their aunt knows what type of offense Dan will run with a mobile QB. This year, I hope, he has better running back play to offset the untested receiving corps. I hope we see more TE sets this year.

Only Cam Newton and Johnny Manziel are ahead for a single season.

I'm excited about the TE possibilities this year. We have always tried to create misdirection with slot receivers but the defensive makeup with 4 wide will allow them to adjust and frequently take the slot with a safety or DB if they are in the nickle. But with TEs you show a heavy set which means the TEs are going to be dragging LBs out of position. Fitz can outrun a lot of safeties and he can level a lot of DBs. I think we could cause a hell of a lot of confusion running option out of a two TE set. Gonna be fun to watch....

don't worry, our potential all SEC RB that sat the bench most of the season last year (insert eye roll) is primed for a huge year.

He's not intriguing. He's just 17ing awesome.

 

[Junction John]

So Fitz is in the same category as Danny Etling and the Sheavior...

 

[maroonmania]

Well, FWIW, Fitz is pretty much the #3 College Fantasy QB this year behind Lamar Jackson and Quinton Flowers.

Fitz had one

of the best seasons in the history of the sec, rushing wise, and he didn't exactly suck at passing either. He outperformed a heisman winner during the toughest part of our schedule, but he's not a top 25 returner? That's just dumb.

 

[Seinfeld]

I mean this as no disrespect to former dawgs, but the sheer fact that neither Holloway or Shump are options any longer should be an immediate positive for our running game

 

[the dog is on the loose]

And keep in mind that Fitz didn't really get rolling until third game or so I believe.

 

[patdog]

Yeah. Right before halftime of the UMass game (4th game) is when it seemed to click for him. We'd basically done nothing offensively and they'd just scored to go up 14-6 with less than 2 minutes till halftime. He drove us to a quick TD and we scored 41 points in 32 minutes.

 

[BiscuitEater]

He's on the Just Missed list.

It's okay .. Forde is on my 'just missed list' of writers

 

[KurtRambis4]

Also keep in mind,

that prior to last season, he had thrown about 18 passes in his life in a competitive game.
