Starting players and depth this year

[AdamsDawg]

I have looked around but have not found information on the topic.

Is Fitz guarenteed the starting QB job?

How is our O-line looking thus far?

Will shump continue to fumble?

How are we looking overall? I have not kept up with recruiting as much this year. I did see where we picked up some solid looking RBs

 

[msstate7]

I think fitz is a lock to open the season as the starter. I wouldn't say he's a lock to start the egg bowl though

 

[aTotal360]

My sizzling hot sports take: Tiano takes more snaps than Staley in 2016.

Why not? I'm just curious.

 

[121Josey]

Why not? I'm just curious.

Uh, it's a long season for a running QB, maybe?

 

[Xenomorph]

Becuase very, very seldom at MSU has the starting QB..

...been unquestionably better than the guy on the bench.

 

[Junction John]

If this happens, I vote DS send "__-stars" the way of "****" and "********" and

My sizzling hot sports take: Tiano takes more snaps than Staley in 2016.

that phrase is never uttered on six packs peak again. No one knows how good any player is, ever. That's the conclusion I will draw if Tiano is our QB of the future. Also, I'm going to be pissed to have wasted all this time waiting on Staley to be the next Cam Newton, as I was promised.


PS **** AJ Brown, and Willie Gay (unless he just took the commitment bonu$ and is really just planning to flip back in February. In that case, WELCOME WILLIE!!!1!)


I need a snickers.

If this is the case, I expect that 4* out of NOLA to find a new home (LSU).

I think Fitz starts. He's obviously less polished than a 5th year Dak but I think he has a lot higher ceiling. People are discounting his arm.

I think Williams is the starting RB. Johnson your day one starting TE? That JUCO guy we brought in is supposed to be a physical freak ala Baylor's dude.

 

[AdamsDawg]

I feel like Fitz's arm is greatly underestimated.

 

[HD6]

Yes, LSU will definitely want to get a third quarterback in this signing class.

 

[Bulldog from Birth]

Heck, Prescott was the first starting QB in MSU history where the backup wasn't unquestionably the better than the starter **

 

[Xenomorph]

I almost posted something similar above...

..but after thinking about it, there has been a year or 2 over the last 40 where we had an unquestioned starter.

 

[Uncle Ruckus]

He's two classes behind him, I think he'd be ok with it

 

[BiscuitEater]

Is Fitz guarenteed the starting QB job? No, but has the inside track due to experience

How is our O-line looking thus far? Has to be better than last year at this point

Will shump continue to fumble? We will see

How are we looking overall? I have not kept up with recruiting as much this year. I did see where we picked up some solid looking RBs

Running game will have to be better than last year by a long shot "if" we want a winning regular season record .. which includes both the OL & RBs

Think we may see all four (4) QBs get PT during the first game.

 

[coach66]

I look for Mullen to change the offense to run the Qb's a lot more with multiple

Qb's seeing action. He will need to do this to mitigate OL weakness and to open up downfield passing with the constant threat of QB running. We have never been close to having this much talent and depth at QB.

 

[Arthur2478]

QB: Will be Fitz. Tiano will be 2nd string by mid season.
RB: Williams & Gibson as primary backs. Holloway will play his role.
OL: Meh
TE: There is a JUCO coming in that Mullen is absolutely giddy about. I wouldn't be shocked if he ends up playing a lot before season's end.
WR: Some combination of Ross, Gray, Dear, Myles, Mixon & Jackson

 

[57stratdawg]

Fitz vs the field. Depth kind of sucks outside of LB.

 

[dickiedawg]

1.No. He's the leader no question.
2. I've not seen any glowing reports.
3. No, due to fewer carries.
