All year long, well, after Tennessee, I heard that because our OL sucked, Shapen should be benched and Taylor should play. Because he can get outside the OL and run.

Taylor starts for 2 games and we are uncompetitive. Now the rallying cry is that we must replace every OL in the portal, which is impossible.

Why do MSU fans hate passing QBs so much?

So glad YOU asked! Go back and read your post, you answered your own question. You actually answered any follow- up you may have. I know you can’t stand Lebby from all your posts, but seriously, go back and read your post to this thread.

We didn’t want to replace OL when Shapen was QB. Why is that?

We were a more competitive team under Shapen. So weird.

Shapen was not the problem. The dude could spin it.

Taylor is not the problem.

The problem is our head coach‘s pants size is higher than his IQ.

Got smoked by OM and Wake bruh

Excuse machine
Yeah, got “Smoked” as you say against a Semi-Finals Team, and a 9 win team in a Bowl Game. Those were his 2 STARTS! No one here hates passing QBs, hell we want them, but to be productive a QB needs to be able to RUN, or, have a Legit OL to put up passing numbers your thinking about. We didn’t have an OL … so again, go back and read your post.

Wake was missing half its teams and was a sixth place acc team. I guess we are lucky most of their star players opted out or it would have been a fifty point beat down

Reality is KT is very raw and a
Project. He had potential but good defenses are going to load the box and make him go
Through his reads. Hes a long way from being able to do that.

Those guys are found on any street corner in Jackson, right?

80% of QBs are either pass happy or run happy. The rest are paid 4M in NIL.

This, and I'm bewildered how more people can't see it. Both Shapen and KT are capable quarterbacks that can win...IF we had coaches capable of teaching QBs and identifying their strengths and weaknesses.

Why not address my post. You are saying wake was some mighty nine win team so we can’t expect to beat them. No they were missing most of their good players and were a sixth place acc team

Whaaaat? The OL has been rightly condemned for 2 seasons by almost everybody on this board, even you! How can you say "we didn't want to replace OL" at any time in the last 2 seasons?
Peep … you know this game he plays lol

Exactly. And recruit & develop even an average offensive line.

I didn’t say a word. We slipped into a Bowl Game against an 8 win team (ACC I get it). But we still had the same **** OL. Missing a few guys we needed, started a Freshman making his 2nd Collegiate Start, I mean … what the hell were you expecting? We would somehow come out and be some completely different unit and win by 35?

They were missing more than we were. And that team we played was really bad. They’d have been right there with us even in a very down SEC.

Why do some of you guys have such an affinity for Shapen. He was given more than a fair shake and didn’t win. No doubt that was not all on Shapen. He’s damn sure a tough guy and certainly not a bad D1 QB. But he was not gonna beat OM… just like he couldn’t beat Texas, Florida, A&M, Georgia, TN or pretty much every sec team that does not commit 20 penalties in a game. It was time to move forward and start getting Taylor game reps.

And you 100% know everyone on this board has been saying for 2 years the OL ain’t good enough.

More than anything I’m pointing out the fanbases’ ignorance. The whole season I heard it was all on the QB. Turns out our coach 17ing sucks like I said 2 years ago.

And yeah, I want to make a point of it. Too many of our own think like a moron in regards to football.

Shapen got worse every game, mostly because he had a terrible offensive line. It didn’t suddenly get better the last two games of the year.

So going off your argument. Had we beat TX, and FL, and TN … and gone to a BIGGER Bowl game …. What’s your argument now??

Moot point. Low IQ, Loser Lebby lost all those games
So back to my original question, what’s your argument now? This whole **** show Goat brought up … So is it the Passing QB we didnt have, the OLine we didn’t have, is it Lebbys fault on bad play calls? As I told Goat, to his entire question on this thread, go back and read your post!

We were a more competitive team under Shapen. So weird.
I, and many on this board, pointed out many times that OL play was terrible and all the hate directed at Shapen was unfair given the poor OL play.
So I don’t buy your first point which renders the rest of your argument meaningless.

Virtually everyone on the board wanted to replace the quarterback because the OL was so bad and Shapen had no chance because they were so bad. We scored 29 points against a defense ranked 26th in the nation in the bowl game. Giving up 43 against a team with its top 2 receivers and best tailback out is why we were not competitive. Hope this helps.

You're so close yet somehow so far.

People wanted Shapen benched and the mobile QB to play.... BECAUSE.............. the OL sucks.

We wanted the best group of 11 out there to produce wins.

With a good+ oline, Shapen was by far the better option. With a bad oline, Shapen had no chance to win games and you go with the mobile QB.

Somehow you miss why people were saying they wanted to swap QB and then blaming them for not complaining about the OL... when the swap of QB call is literally complaining about the OL.

And then you're mad at the board that you lack the critical thinking skills to understand the simplest of cause and effect.

He had 300+ yards in both games, are you that ignorant. How about if our defense doesn't suck balls.

Aren't all QBs passing QBs? Even in the wishbone they throw it occasionally
