Not that it’s likely to make much difference, but it can’t be much worse and may be a little better.
Why not Parson?
- Thread starter patdog
- Start date
We have four games left. Why not just start him for the next 4? Keeps his redshirt. Let’s see what we have.
If he's healthy I would start him next week
I think we’ve taken the reads out of at least the pass plays the whole game. But agree about the running plays.
Hell Pat he'd probably do well and just enter the portal in January.
He’s a true freshmen who is 3rd on the depth chart behind 2 guys with a combined decade of college football experience. He doesn’t even have a “career” yet.
1993 MSU football mentality. It could be a lot worse, it always is.
He can't be hurt and also be running the scout team can he ? One of these things is not true
How about we actually practice our offense and work on things like timing, blocking, and finding what plays we can run. We look like our players are playing football for the first time in their lives.
The mystery surounding Parson amazes me. Is he still so hurt that he can't even play? Is he really not that good and is another 4 star who can't make it at MSU? If he is the future, why do we need a QB from the portal?
And the fascination with any MSU QB who is not the one playing continues...
Because our coaching sucks. That’s the answer to your question. Why not Mike Henig? Wesley Carroll?
We really need more people to nut up and express this opinion. It's really needs more advocates on this board.
Exactly what I was thinking. Rinse, wash, repeat
Smart. Let’s start him for the remaining games so we can destroy his confidence in this awful offense, so when he eventually transfer portals to a rival, he will be less effective against us. 4-d chess.
That’s pretty accurate. Im wondering how many of these young guys that came to play in the AR for Leach stick around.
Most won't. AGAIN, it's why we were so incredibly STUPID in hiring Leach. I hope Cohen does for Auburn what he did for us.
That didn't make our defense suck.
Also, there are enough coordinators and head coaches running Air Raid adjacent offenses that it didn't have to be such a drastic change. Our HC, however, hired an OC with a 180 philosophy change.
Leach was all about keeping it simple so you can play fast and execute as best as possible. Barbay is about doing as many different things as you can so you can hopefully confuse the defense... Unfortunately it's confused our players and caused them to play slow and with no confidence.
Our coaching is exactly why I wouldn’t start the true freshman. We are 8 games in and still can’t execute fundamentals like running routes and blocking. Its clear we don’t have a grasp of the offense, why risk ruining the confidence of parsons, he won’t be successful because the people around him can’t execute
Are there people saying that the coaching is good? I haven’t seen any. Besides a few idiots who think our talent is fine, I think the majority think the coaching AND the talent suck balls…
At least play him a series per game to get his feet wet. Nothing to lose.
The Mississippi State football fan mantra: "We want the second string QB".
You have pegged it with this post. OL blocking, WR routes, DB play, DL blocking have all been suspect this year. It is coaching plain and simple. And the, "Well, we installed a new offense" defense of this staff is a cop out. The defense is making terrible offenses look like playoff contenders and their QBs look like Heisman candidates. Their QB was 20 of 26 behind a well coached OL. Even when we blitzed he had time to go to secondary receivers that were wide open.
You would think a DC turned HC would correct the defensive miscues. 8 games in and we all witnessed the missed coverage and weak pass rush.
The offenses isn't working , but the defense sucking every game but Arkansas should be what gets arnett fired that's unacceptable for them to be this bad with the same coaching staff
His teams were better than this past weekend. At least, I don't remember any players running into each other during a reverse on his watch.
If we hadn’t been recruiting to have 20 receivers on the roster perhaps we would have more quality defensive players on the team and available now.
Oh dear God.
As we've documented many times, we have 4 stars all over the defensive backfield. Have you seen the angles they take? We are constantly out of position. That's coaching not talent.
Geez man I don't see how some of ya'll form these opinions.
