I feel bad for the guy. How are you supposed to make anything like good life decisions with an insane upbringing like that? Credit to him for starting to take responsibility for himself.

I think that's what got him at trouble while at State

Imagine growing up with no one ever telling you what you needed to do, where you needed to be, or laying down any rules. Then all of a sudden you're 18 years old, immature and in a big program with rules, a schedule and a coach that wants you to redshirt.

Good for him getting his life on track and getting a tough college degree.

It's very rare to get that many chances, and it appears he knows that too.

Didn't know all that about him and hope he keeps it all together. I still don't understand Mullen offering him a scholly, but it all worked out for the best, I guess.

Ones but hope he stays on the right track.

When I saw this was bleacher report... I was going to pass it over.

Then I saw the comments and I'm glad I did. What a great read. I really hope everything works out for him and his new family.

Just speculating... this was early in Mullen being here...

And
1. Mullen was focused, almost myopically, on in-state recruits at first.
2. We needed another quarterback.
3. Dylan was both a QB and Mr. Football for Mississippi.
4. Dylan had name recognition and we got a little pub from it ("Brett: Mississippi State's got it goin' on, huh?").

Understand that reasoning if that was it...just always had a problem with his physical stature as an SEC QB, and we had just been through a number of those undersized QB's, if I recall and the taste was still bad in folks' mouths.

I had a really good feeling about Favre having a chance of being Todd Reesing 2.0. They were the same size, had the same strengths, and both came from good high school programs where they put up big numbers without getting any attention for them.

I think with a different attitude he could have had some version of success. I'm not even talking about staying at State. If he hadn't had a cloudy head, gone to a better JUCO, and kept his focus on what was important, I think he could have been a starting D1 QB. He's had the skill. Just not the mindset.
