You want people to read a story. A story about a generic 2nd string lineman isn't going to drum up any readership. Favre is interesting.
He doesn't really bring any new dimension to the table that Relf doesn't, so there's no reason to bring him in in a 2-QB system. Also, I'm not convinced he'll even be the #2 QB this fall. I've been a Dylan Favre fan since I saw him play in the state championship game his SR season, and he had a great spring game. But Tyler Russell is still listed as the #2 QB and he also had a great spring game. If we do use 2 QBs, I would think Russell would be the alternate. But I really think we'll be a 1 QB team this fall with Relf taking all the snaps unless he's injured or the game is out of hand.
I just can't see it. He gets rattled way too easy. I certainly hope he's improved, but even with his obvious skill set, i dread when he steps on the field in a pressure situation.
I think are the intangibles that make QB's great and which teams can rally around and win. Mullen recongizes that Farve is a fierce, confident competitior and he wants that to rub off on his entire team so whether Farve plays a bunch of snaps or not his attitude and leadership could havea profound impact on the success of the team. Just my opinion.
right because no QB has ever taken 2 or 3 years in college before coming into his own as a RS soph, junior, or even RS junior.<div>
</div><div>oh wait, that's more the status quo, and the QBs that actually come in looking like superstars out of the gate are the exceptions.</div>

but for a guy that just completed his freshman year(eligibility wise) as a QB in the SEC, he sure takes a lot of criticism. He may very well step out onto the field this year and stink it up, but I think he could just as easily show a ton of improvement. I don't know of many redshirt freshmen QBs in the conference's history that exactly lit the SEC on fire during their first year.
You guys want a 5'9 true freshman ahead of 6'5 RSo. with game experience? How many real offers did Favre have? Wasn't Russell a 5* QB. You put Favre ahead of Russell right now and you risk him transferring. It's Relf's team this year anyways so why risk losing Russell for the next two years? Redshirt Favre. Then let them fight for it next year. I've seen enough midget QB's at State over the last 10 years to wait awhile before we throw the 5'9 two star with two offers the keys to the mansion. He's not Brett Favre. He's his nephew. Stop thinking he'll be just like Brett right now and save yourself the huge dissapoinment your setting up for yourself.
I think either one of them would do a good job for us. But if you think for a second that how many stars they had means a thing, you're an idiot. I've seen them both play in HS, and Favre was the better HS QB (not by much though). I like Russell's height and arm, but Favre is a much better runner (even though Russell isn't as bad as some say he is) and he's got the intangibles like few other QBs I've ever seen. You need to get the 17 over the short QBs we had under Crxxm. They didn't suck because they were short. They sucked because they didn't have much talent and had even worse coaching. Favre won't have either of those handicaps.</p>
plenty of looks and yet still only 2*. Only offers from USM, Tulane and us. Wasn't Russell one of if not the highest rated QB to sign with us? It's ok to like Brett Favre. I do but seriously the only reason you want Dylan over Tyler is because you think he's going to be 17ing awesome just like Brett Favre. He's not, he's listed as 5'10 which means he's 5'8 and he's going to throw 100 footballs into the helmets and hands of every linemen on our team and every team we play. He doesn't have Vick speed so he will be forced to run around like the last 5 midgets we had. He's not Drew Brees, Doug Flutie or Brett Favre. He's 5'8 Dylan Favre. Two stars and nobody wanted him even with that golden last name. Gatorade player of the year and all-time record holder AND the last name FAVRE and still nobody wanted him. Why? Because midgets can't play SEC football.
At first I thought just like you guys whenI saw his name on this list. 3rd stringer that important, then I read the article.
1) His infectious enthusiasm is contagious and spreads through the team in practice and during the games.You can't quantify that but it is real.
2) The fact that he is there is pushing the Russell to be better andRussell can't settlein and take it easy at2nd string because if he does then he will be by passed.
3) He runs the scout team against firt team defense. You must know that if your defense is used to seeing talent they aren't as shocked by it in games. I am reminded often by my wife's family how good the Ole Miss defense was that yeart that my brother-in-law ran the scout team for them. Hekicked their *** all week in practice which prepared them for the games.
4) If or when Favregets on the field and shows that spark thatthey hope hecan provide then he may give Mullen an option when the offense sputters.
He is more important than many think considering he is the 3rd string guy. #19? Maybe or maybe not but we are discussing it and I bet lots of people read it.</p>

a longshot based on his physical dimensions I have to disagree with you based on my expert point of view. You see I was an outstanding QB by most peoples standards so I think I know a QB when I see one and unibrow has several things besides the aforementioned intangibles that make him legit. First of all he has a great grasp of the game and understands defenses and how to beat them. Next I would say he is above average on his mobility and can beat you with his legs if given the opportunity. Moving along, I would say he has a very strong and accurate arm especially when he is on the move (Russells' achilles heel) and lastly I hear rumor that he banged Taylor Stone and I am in awe of his awesomeness.
he did bang her, along with 5 other football players, 5 other baseball players, and 3 basketball players she doesn't want anyone else to know about. That's part of your free ride as an athlete. You get free rides. That's the American way. Athlete = bang any chick you want. That is the norm. Not impressed.
I think Dylan's uncle is a douchebag. I don't like him at all. And I didn't like Dylan either, until I actually saw him play. I hoped he would bomb in college and I hoped we wouldn't offer him the scholarship that he obviously wanted from us. But when I saw him play, I saw that he's got a lot of potential to be a great QB and I quickly changed from hoping we wouldn't offer him to hoping we wouldn't miss out on him. As for who I want to start next year, as I said in my earlier post, I don't give a ****. Whether it's Russell, Favre, or even Prescott; it doesn't matter to me at all. I like them all and I think they all have a lot of potential. Mullen will make the right decision when the time comes. But to dismiss Dylan Favre just because you think people only like him because of his last name is beyond stupid. Personally, I like him in spite of his last name.DAWG61 said:
I'll be looking forward to see him play. I might be the only one but I actually was very pleased with how Russell looked last year. I think he has very good touch on his passes and if he can just speed up his clock I think he can be very good. He is a big dude also and with hard work in the weight room I think Tyler has a very high ceiling.
We are a spread option offense and he just plain doesn't fit in our system due to his minimal running ability and that's just the way it is. We are and always will be a running oriented offense as long as Mullen is here. As much as I know he wants to toss it around and be 50/50 run/pass, we will always be more run that pass.
