Is it possible Russell transfers?
- Thread starter BehrDawg
- Start date
he's already redshirted which means if he transfers he will actually have to give up a year of eligibility. Relf is doing OK but he's certainly not setting the world on fire. If Russell can improve on his decision making ability with reading defenses and hone up his accuracy a little bit no reason to think he couldn't overtake Relf next spring. Right now our coaching staff has decided (and I think for now rightfully so) that we are more efficient as a more consevative run oriented team with Relf than we are as a pass oriented team with Russell. If we can keep improving the WR corps AND Russell can start minimizing his tendency to throw interceptions that assessment might change. Russell has all the physical tools but didn't come to us nearly as D1-ready as most of us thought he might be.
He makes some really bonehead moves. I know these can be improved with experience and coaching.
Another point once we can get some actual receivers who can catch the 17ing ball, then I am sure that can help out with QB efficiency. We are really missing Leon Berry.

...that one last night was on Superstar Bumphis, who is probably the most overrated player we've signed in recent memory. He fell down during the route.
..somebody who should have signed with Troy or Arkansas State, because he has contributed nothing to MSU over his career...

threw a horrible lob pick in triple coverage and Russell put up 7with a couple of nice throws, his pick was the result of 1 falling down. Bama had 5 def backs when they put Tyler in. Running it up the middle when we are down 20-3 shows me we have a coach who had alreadey conceded the game or has no confidence in Relf's ability to actually run a real offense.
Russel wont ever play as a starter. he may play a few downs here and there but he doesnt have a good pocket presence he stays there too long. Everyone hates on Relf too much and the poor guy works his butt off. He is a good qb who is big who can run and he can throw the hell outa the ball but mentally as a qb does not have all it takes. i believe he gets a mental block just like a pitcher does. Relf will start next year and progress as a qb and favre will start the year after that.
Russell does hold onto the ball longer BUT, he seems very comfortable. From what I have seen, he is not afraid of taking a lick from a defender. He is a TRUE pocket passer. A true pocket passer isn't afraid and sits in the pocket until he finds an open receiver.
He makes poor decisions with the coverages.

there have been multiple times that Russell has moved up or sideways in the pocket to give himself time and/or throwing lanes (see the 3rd down completion last night--he moved way up to avoid the sack). no question that he needs some experience in that department, but he is definitely not a sitting duck back there.Hutchinson11 said:
I see more of a Tebow/Leak type of offense next year. Could be a 50/50 split or even more for TR if he keeps getting better. Relf is not the full-time answer for STATE at QB, unless he goes to the Manning Passing Academy all off-season.
