Who else thinks MVB could be a 4 year starter?

I'm personally impressed with him. He doesn't get rattled easily, has a quick release, is accurate, throws a good deep ball, and can run when needed. He played well against Texas and Georgia and I saw improvement tonight in his second start. I'm not sure he's going through his progressions, but he is executing the offense better that most new QB's would against the last two defenses he's faced. As far as I can tell, the team plays hard for him as well. What's not to like so far?

Unfortunately would disagree with you. I thought he was very shaky in the pocket most of the game and really inaccurate on some easy throws. I’ll give him a pass on the opponents. We’ll see.

Lebby's O is perfect for him. He may leave after his 3rd year, if he doesn't get drafted, to try something new, but he's the guy. Money won't be the issue.
Money will always be the issue for us if a school serious about football wants him.

If you run an offense like Lebby runs and then someone does well, we are subject to the big boys coming to buy our good players. Another good reason to commit to a niche offense. If we were running Army’s or Navy’s offense and doing well, moone would be trying to buy our players for their offenses.

Not in the next 3-4 years it won't be.
Put down the Kool Aid. We’re either going to lose him, or we’re going to have to pay a shítload to keep him, which in turn is going to cause us to lose other guys. Those other guys are either also good players we want to keep on the roster, or are good players we’d be bidding on in the portal.

There will never be a universe where money isn’t an issue for MSU. It’s always going to be a limitation that’s going to be felt somewhere.

If we’re running Army or Navy offense, 4-8 is our ceiling.

You seriously think we're going to start outbidding the big boys for players?
I didn't say players, I said MVB. We'll do what we need to in order to keep our starting qb, & currently have the funds to do so.

If one of the big boys decides they want him, they will get him. That’s just reality. We can’t overcommit our limited funds to one player. And really couldn’t even if we tried.

Like I said, ok.

Yes with Army and Navy players in the SEC, possibly. Higher ceiling with athletes and blockers, and a tough defense. Lebby might win 4 games before he’s fired.

Well, he has a community named after him, complete with a historical marker, in Itawamba County. That's pretty impressive for a freshman! 😜

No, with Mississippi State caliber players. There's a reason no one runs those offenses and hasn't for 30 years.

They said that when Paul Johnson took over at Georgia Tech. I’d take his era or ceiling or whatever you want to call it there, all day here at State, especially in this new NIL transfer era. Everything runs in cycles, there’s only so much you can do in football. The whole point I’m making is to be different, even on both sides of the ball. Be that one team that when we play them, even though there more talented (which is most weeks), it’s the only time they may see something like that all year. When you’re under matched, the point is gorilla warefare.

That was 18 years ago when he was hired at GA Tech. The game has changed dramatically since then. He had 3 good seasons there, 2008, 2009 & 2014 (went 24-25 after that 2014 season). And that wasn't the SEC.
