What are we doing about the Quarterback position next year? While I am really excited about next year I don't know what to think about our Quarterback position. Are we going to go with Ryan or Devante? Could we pick up a transfer or a juco guy who would it be? Who would you be most excited about?

What is the O line going to look like? What young guys are going to get more playing time(Daronte Bouldin, Davion Johnson?) Sean Rawlings and Tyler Putman what have they been up too? Do you think Rankin could jump Cooper for the starting position? Where does Jordan Sims come into play next year?

Lets talk about it and make some predictions.

In 2014, our OL held us back and our QB play put us in positions to win games.

Next season, unfortunately, I think the reverse will happen. Nothing against Switchblade or Meadowbrook Highlands, but I am not confident in their play.

Side note: did you know that Buchanon's family founded Jitney Jungle? Not really relevant to the discussion, but that's about as Mississippian as it gets.

I think we bring Kelly in if only to give us an extra bullet in the chamber in case Ryan and DK don't pan out. More options isn't a bad thing.

The offensive line should be so much better. Aaron Morris, Justin Bell and Fahn Cooper will all be fighting for starting spots.

WR depth is just stupid good.

RB should be vastly improved with an upgraded Oline and the introduction of Akeem Judd.

We ranked between 8-10 in all offensive categories this year in the SEC. Next year I predict that we'll jump up to around 3-4 ASSUMING we have a qb that can manage the game and not just kill us.

Chad Kelly or Ryan Buchanan will be QB. Devante just doesnt take care of the ball and looks like a deer caught in head lights out there.

The three deep on the OL should be IMO...

Tunsil Rod Still Bell Cooper
Rankin A. Morris Conyers Patterson Richmond
C. Morris Bouldin Rawlings Sims Davion

Our best two OL are Tunsil and Rod and its not close. Aaron has really dipped off after this injury. Hopefully he will come back better, but I cant see him being better than Rod. He may unseat Bell if he comes to play.

I think Fahn made big strides and as we have seen, JC kids have a tough time adjusting their first year and improve drastically the next. Given he has a year on Rankin, I expect him to start. I do think Rankin is quicker and has better technique while Fahn is stronger with more experience. Fahn probably has the higher ceiling at RT while Martinas does at LT.

I think we have to keep Conyers at center next year to..
A. Give our future tackles more experience because they will be thrown into starting jobs in 16
B. We need him to be as polished at center as possible because he will be our starting center in 16

I think Javon getting here in January is going to give him a huge leg up and I expect more out of him than Richmond in their first year because guard is easier than tackle and the 5 month head start.

I think Jordan Sims is going to be monster. He has lost like 50-60 lbs and looks great. He just has no experience and I think we will want to utilize Javon's athleticism when we pull our guards is why I gave Javon the nod.

I think Bouldin goes back to his natural positon of guard now that we have tackles and I wouldnt be surprised if he did very well there. He is our strongest player an all.

I think it is imperative to get Richmond, Christian, and Rankin ready for 2016.

I think we go 9-3 again with losses at Bama, AU, and State. A&M, LSU, and Arky at home and florida on the road... I think we pull those out, but it will be tough.

I do think this is the most talented team OM has ever had, its just a shame we have to play both Bama schools on the road with a green QB.

I think everyone is underestimating how hard it is to find a decent QB......

I can't think of who Christian is. Do you mean Givens?

I love Justin Bell but I just dont know if he should be starting with a decent SEC O Line.

introduction of Akeem Judd.

Whats the word on him? I know he was good coming out of Juco but no one heard of him in high school. Do you know if he is faster than Jordan. Is Dodson gone after this year?

Someone the other day asked David about Judd and he said the coaches have told him people will be pleasantly surprised.

I saw the scrimmage they had with the scout players of the bye week and he looke really good, but look who he was playing against. He's the thickest RB we've had since Bolden's junior year. Everyone is going to think he's a bruiser because of his size but his best asset IMO is his feet. Im not sure how much he contributes. Spring game should be fun.

He and Bell came in the same class so they are the same age. The difference was Bell RS and Aaron didnt, but with last year's injury, he received a MRS so now he and Justin will finish together. He's the same class as prewitt, Senquez, and CJ... he like CJ, gets that 5th year
