Bo is not getting better than he was last year.

QB's make jumps from starting year 1 to starting year 2.

They don't make huge improvements from year 2 to year 3. By the end of the 2nd year, you know who you have.

Who Bo was last year is who'll he'll be this year. Slightly above average, lose ole miss a couple games this year.

you just get a certain feeling that when he’s behind center there’s not much his offense can’t accomplish.




The eyeball test, That's what makes him like Cam Newton? The guy who scored 55 tds in one year? pls




*I acknowledge Bo's shortcomings but this thread isn't about him as much as I'm sure it will be



ETA: too late

I'm not going to say he will definitely be better(a lot of it depends on our OLine play)...but after the early spring surgery and spending an entire offseason with a QB guru....he could be much improved. His arm strength in practice is already vastly improved.

He was statistically solid last season. Too many TO's in 2013 but he cut those down tremendously last year.


Outside of the Egg Bowl, Bo had a solid season. It wasn't great by any stretch, but was a definite improvement from 2012.

Total TDs
2012 - 30
2013 - 24

Total TOs
2012 - 23
2013 - 15

24:15 > 30:23

Multiple interception games
2012 - 7 (Texas, Alabama, Texas A&M, LSU, Mississippi State, Pittsburgh)
2013 - 3 (Auburn, Arkansas, Mississippi State)

Yeah I'm not calling for a Heisman season from Bo, but he will be better than last year.

He didn't have a chance to improve as much as he could from year 1 to 2 because of the shoulder surgery. He didn't have a full offseason to strengthen it. Hell, he was only JUST throwing again right before fall camp last year.

But this thread isn't about Bo, so I'm not sure why he's being discussed. This thread is about some dumbass writer saying Dak is Cam-like.

I don't think Dak has Cam's arm. He's more like Tebow, which is still a great QB to be compared to.

SDS is becoming Bleacher Report-esque.

Come on so you're gonna tell me the first offseason in 2 years where he can actually throw and lift with his teammates isnt going to help him? He's gained almost 15 pounds and he's been able to do 7 on 7s all summer before camp. He's going to be better.

He kind of reminds me of Stephen Garcia, looks great vs. LSU but shits his pants vs. Bama, Mizzou, and State.



You know, I actually kinda agree with this. Prescott has plenty of tools, and is physically gifted, for sure. Just like Garcia. And he has games where he is a beast, just like Garcia. But then he also has his WTF turnover derp fests such as last year against USC. Prescott is built like Cam, but he does kinda play like Garcia.

It has been a couple of years since Cam, so we are due another once in a lifetime QB in the SEC.

Tebow
Cam
Dak?

Dak found out that his mom only had a few days to live the Saturday he played in the USC game. His mom died the very next day after playing USC. What was Garcia's excuse?

Imagine if Timothy and Cameron had a baby that was subsequently abandoned and then adopted by Brett Favre and Peyton Manning and raised to toss the pigskin from year one and always has secretly held a grudge against his biological parents and seeks to prove them wrong.

That's Dak.
