Noodle arguments just illustrate to me how frustrating it is for anyone to have a QB that can neither win you a game or lose you one.
He’s a slightly below average P4 QB. Mike Leach made him slightly above average. Those are the facts that I think most can agree on.
After that, it’s just a matter of if you cheer for MSU transfers. I look at it like coaches who leave - if they do better than they did in Starkville, that makes us look worse (even if it makes no sense, because the player/coach is a year older and more experienced). Because people are stupid, they believe perception.
Therefore, I don’t really cheer for players who leave us unless it was obviously in their best interest due to our stupidity. Here lately, I find myself not hating our post 2023 transfers quite as much.
I absolutely rooted against RaRa though, to further illustrate. He had zero reason to transfer (until Leach died). On the other hand, I didn’t really root against DJ - Leach messed that one up (one of the very few mistakes he made).
