It's inevitable....an MSU QB has a fantastic Junior year, than craps out their Senior year. Why is that?
In 1983, John Bond lost all his good offensive linemen (Bellard was a horrible recruiter), but he had a pretty good crop of receivers and running backs. Yet, Bond never progressed in ability beyond his Freshman year.
In 1992, Sleepy got his knee blown out so it wasn't his fault.
In 1996 Derrick Taite was spending more time partying than playing football. According to a friend of mine, he showed up at a frat house the night before the LSU game dressed in a full-length fur coat holding a beer.
In 2000, Wayne Madkin ran an offense almost as well as any QB in the SEC. In 2001, his receivers looked like they were deliberately dropping his passes. According to unconfirmed rumors from unreliable sources, Madkin joined a frat and his receivers were from a rival frat.
In 2003, Kevin Fant spent the spring sulking and quitting the team, and got called back just before practice began.
In 2011, Chris Relf split time with Tyler Russell before taking over the Egg bowl and Gator Bowl.
Last Saturday, TR was throwing the ball AFTER the receiver made his cut. Other team QB's were throwing passes BEFORE they made their cuts.
Why don't MSU quarterbacks spend more time working on timing with their receivers in the summer, and less time on drama?
