I couldn't stop lookin' at 'em.

 

[karlchilders.sixpack]

You will set it with regularity, for three and 1/2 years.
so please stfu about it.

 

[hopper21]

I know you guys were quick to feel vindicated in your anti-Favre fervor after that first drive, but:
1. he didn't get a full set of downs on the first drive.
2. he at least looked confident, which is more than we've seen from Relf lately.
3. he didn't fold when he got sacked, he at least acted like he wanted to be on the field.
4. He didn't throw an interception.
5. in his two drives, he managed the offense to as many touchdowns as Relf had in the previous, what 11 quarters.
6. On the second drive, he had two handoffs and his pass was a hell of a lot better than what we saw from Relf.

That being said, he is smaller than I expected and he made some bad decisions, but I would hardly call today's play vindication for Favre haters.

 

[Shmuley]

looked like a shot put. Not ready for prime time.

 

[windcrysmary]

vinegar and wants to play...and wants to MSU to win.. he screwed up and didn't get to play in memphis.. ran his mouth on twitter.. big 17ing deal.. it seems like most of our offensive players could use his attitude.. maybe he won't make it as a starter here.. who knows.. but blaming him for any "short"comings and making jokes about him makes yall look like the douches you are...

 

[KennyPowers2]

Favre was in there because Relf was in some pain. Favre had nothing to do with us losing this game. Our offense has literally fallen off the map and last time I checked favre has only had about 5 plays the whole damn year. Favre looks bigger than Tyson Lee out there.

 

[was21]

[thatsbaseball]

why do so many of you not want this kid to get a fair chance? What a bunch of losers. WTF

 

[PickleHead]

I just want to win. I can't tell squat from what I saw today.

 

[coastdawg228]

I know we all know he's not of ideal height, but good night he's looking up at every single reporter when he answers their questions. Just interesting to note the big difference from an SEC d-lineman's physicality, and his.

 

[Todd4State]

using the fact that Favre has led us to zero touchdowns as a defense? Hilarious.

 

[Todd4State]

Because they both suck.

He would suck if he 6'5". He would suck if his last name was Jones. He would suck if his eyebrows didn't look like a family of racoons could live in them.

Can he get better? Maybe. But I doubt it.

 

[thatsbaseball]

Give us a break you`ve obviouslygot another problem with him that`s probably not related to football ! He may not be the answer but there ain`t no way to know that after 5 plays.</p>

 

[DAWG61]

were you really able to bang Playboy ***** with bear rug eyebrows? Really ladies? REALLY?????

 

[the next big thing]

and today we are justifying our support for the next Tyson Lee.

i getthat familiar feeling in my gut that i thought id never get again.

how quickly we have fallen.

 

[rabiddawg]

would love to see him in the whole game next week. I think all he needs is to run the offense for a game. It can't hurt...

 

[Todd4State]

I saw him play in high school as well. I've been saying that he wasn't that good for a couple of years now. He had some good tall WR's in high school, and he pretty much threw the ball up for grabs, they caught it and they took it to the house. One of his WR's walked on at MSU and is now on the baseball team, and another plays baseball at USM. So, they were clearly a loaded team. Favre was a good high school QB as well.

I have nothing against him personally. I'm glad we have him and he wants to be at MSU. But I will call a spade a spade. And I base my opinions on more than five plays.

What do you think I would have against him personally? It's not like he's the first player that I've ever criticized at MSU.

 

[jermelminor]

One winning season under mullen?

 

[hopper21]

If you would remove your own dipshittery from the conversation for a moment, you would see that I'm using the fact that RELF hasn't scored a touchdown since Entourage was on the air as an excuse. Even callng it an excuse is a stretch. All I'm saying is that at some point, you have to start thinking about the future. Relf is a senior and he's regressing with each game. Russell's been given more than one opportunity to take the reigns and, outside Memphis, has choked each time. Plus, he is now injured. WTH would you prefer? Keep throwing Relf in until our entire drives consist of Inc. pass, lethargic draw, sad face, inc pass, sadder face, punt? I'm not saying Favre is ready for the job or will ever be. All I'm saying is that he didn't do anything today that made me believe he's Tyson Lee 2.0.

 

[AllAmericanDawg]

Against who? And tall WR? Two baseball players make a loaded team? If you honestly saw him play more than one game, you would know that wasn't true.

He led a team with no Division I players (other than himself obviously) to win a state championship, the last team to beat Liggins and Lafayette County. Every coach he played against will tell you he was a player...not tall wide receivers.

 

[hopper21]

You said you saw him in high school and that you've been saying that he wasn't that good for a couple of years, but four sentences later, you say he was a good high school QB. You use the fact that his WR were walk on baseball players as justification that he was on a loaded team. Because, ya know, of the major collegiate sports, only the tallest fastest and most athletic can walk on a college baseball team. You're either completely irrational or he banged that one cousin you've always had a crush on. Either way, could you possibly concede that maybe his performance today didn't want make you want to slit your wrists at the thought of him at QB?

 

[hopper21]

Broke reply etiquette. Perdon.

 

[DAWG61]

by your multiple posts without a reply? How bout just one post then waiting for a reply next time?

 

[Todd4State]

Do you want me to produce a ticket stub as well?

And yes, they were tall- Wilkerson and Scarbrough are both 6'2" to 6'3"- compare that to most of the DB's that they were going up against, who were normally 5'8-6'0". Both are playing D-I sports right now. I would say that you would have to be a pretty good athlete to play baseball in D-I in college. Again, one walked on and played football at MSU for a year. Scarbrough could play football at USM as well if he wanted to. How many 4A teams have four guys that are playing D-I sports? Heck, how many 6A teams have that many athletes that are playing D-I sports?

Remember- I'm talking about 4A football here. And they were good relative to that league. How much D-I talent do you think is in 4A across the board vs the SEC?

 

[Todd4State]

and being a SEC talent. Peyton Johnson was a good high school QB. He is not a SEC QB.

Actually Scarbrough got a scholarship to USM, and Jacob Lindgren who was a DB on that team also got a baseball scholarship from us.

But yeah- you have a good point. Every team in 4A is loaded with guys that can play D-I sports. Because you know, athletes can only be good at one sport- especially in high school. I'm not irrational- I just know more about high school football and how to judge athletes than you. That makes you ignorant.

What are you saying? That college baseball players aren't good athletes?

Of course, you did have the "banging cousin" put down that has only been used 5,000 times on here. That should have been a tip off on your limited intelligence.

Him playing QB doesn't make me want to slit my wrists at all. I actually hope he succeeds and proves me wrong. But it's not looking that way so far. Just as I wanted Ty Evans to prove me wrong as well. They didn't, and more than likely Dylan won't either.

 

[Todd4State]

Because it sure looked like you were saying that Favre leading us to zero touchdowns as well somehow made him just as viable an option as Relf.

I would prefer a competent QB that doesn't smoke pot and think he deserves a chance after breaking the team rules when he would have gotten his chance against Memphis, and one that doesn't smoke pot that has the mental capacity to run more than five pass plays and doesn't give the coaches a "go to hell" look when he doesn't like the playcall.

So, I want Tyler Russell's knee to get better ASAP.

 

[HammerOfTheDogs]

 

[AllAmericanDawg]

Where about 75% of his team had swing flu...one game? The highlights of one of his WR is on youtube. It shows a lot of catches and only a couple of him reaching over a defender. He's the state's all-time passing leader. He didn't spend three years throwing jump balls. If the state's defensive coordinators can't figure out how to knock down 12k yards of jump balls...it will never happen.

A walk-on WR and pitcher probably were good athletes. Lindgren didn't play WR for Favre.

 

[tupelodawg]

Marcus Green is the wasted scholarship on this team.

 

[Todd4State]

You can't coach 6'3" or whatever it is, and you can't coach speed? I think that applies to St. Stanislaus that year. There's a reason why people want players like Randy Moss- because he can outrun and out jump on a pro level.


I was aware that Lindgren didn't play WR for him- just pointing out that he was another talented player on their team to back up my case that they were loaded.

 

[Temple of the Dawg]

I have seen you post that you have been very impressed with Forrest Williams who was the coach at St. Stanislaus while Favre was their QB. You have said that he ran an innovative offense and you thought he should have been given a shot at Germantown. Now, however, you are saying that their offense consisted of throwing jump balls to tall receivers which isn't innovative.

So, which is it?

 

[Wizard.sixpack]

I guess we are all glad we can be hidden on this board when discuss the topics or there might be some of our flaws being pointed out...

 

[DerHntr]

for God's sake man, we have look-alike threads for other teams each week.

 

[hopper21]

You said you've been saying he's not that good of a QB for a long time, yet previous to Saturday your only visibility to him was his tenure as a high school QB, where you conceded he was a good QB. A good QB who apparently just threw the ball up in the air and hoped his gigantic 6'3" baseball stars jumped above the midget 4A defenses they played.

The fact is, we don't know whether he's an SEC caliber QB or not and nothing that happened on Saturday was concrete proof one way or another. He, unlike a lot of our team, particularly our QB, at least looked like he wanted to be out there. When he got sacked, he didn't look at the sideline like he had just seen a puppy get run over. Again, my sole original point was that all of you guys (Todd, you included) that broke your neck to get on and post about how you "called it" and you now had your proof that he was as bad as you had been saying all along, that when you look at the situation as a whole, there really wasn't a lot that could be gleaned from either series. Again, he might suck, but Saturday wasn't silid evidence of that.

I'm not saying that college baseball players aren't good athletes, I'm just pointing out the ridiculousness of talking about how stacked a team was football wise and then point to all the baseball walkons that were on that team. I mean, the Chicago White Sox at one time had the greatest basketball player ever on their roster and, oh yeah, he was bumped to the minors. On a side note, though, I think of football, basketball, and baseball, that, as a whole, baseball requires the least athleticism. Possibly, the most skill, but the least athleticism.

Granted, you probably spend more time watching high school athletes than I do. Yay you.

I shouldn't have made the cousin joke. It was childish and beneath me. I'm sure you and your cousins, male and female, have completely platonic relationships and I should not have implied otherwise. I should not have also implied that Dylan Favre had relations with any of said cousins, male or female. It was wrong and I apologize.

Don't lie about wanting him to succeed. If you want him to fail because of the pot smoking or whatever reason it is that you want him to fail, at least man up and admit that you want him to fail as the QB if Mississippi State so we end up playing Dak or Russell or whoever the hell else will win you SPS "I was right all along" points for that week.

 

[Todd4State]

I like the fact that he runs a pass first spread. The fact that he won 4A at SSC and took advantage of the talent that he had shows that he is a smart and good coach. Forget Germantown, I wish he were at Madison Central.

When he had Favre, Krisjohn Wilkerson, Boomer Scarbrough- I wouldn't run a bunch of bubble screens with those guys either. Tall guys that can run and a QB that can get them the ball- you've got to get them the ball downfield. You can get away with a lot more in high school as far as throwing the ball up for grabs than you can in college as well- and that's the real issue here- whether Favre is or isn't a SEC QB. The bottom line is he's not. Was he good high school QB? Absolutely. But he's not playing Lafayette or Jackson Prep anymore. Every QB in the SEC had good numbers in high school. Tyler Russell had great numbers. Heck, Chris Garrett had great numbers. Garrett also has size and a big arm, and he's not a SEC QB.

I disagree about throwing downfield not being "innovative"- Bill Walsh, Don Coryell, Mike Leach all had/have that as part of their offensive schemes. Those are some pretty smart football minds. Even if you think it's not innovative, I think you would agree that it's effective given the talent. And that's what offensive football is really all about- taking the talent you have and maximizing what the players can do and produce points out of it.

When Williams was at SSC with Favre, he did what his QB could do. That doesn't mean that his system wasn't "innovative".

That means he adapted to his talent.

Also, Williams has proven himself as a coach by doing well at MRA as well. They have once again put up some pretty big offensive numbers at times, and this is the first year of their system. It seems like every Friday night, their QB is throwing 5-7 TD passes.
