Sounds like this prick from bama is a little worried about what state might have next year no?

didn't realize getting injured once makes a player injury prone.

To be fair, the turf toe was his second surgery this year. He did injure his ankle at the end of last year and have a minor procedure to fix that and clean up an old HS ankle injury.

That said, it is a gamble for state. But, it is a gamble for every team acquiring or retaining talent under any semblance of a salary cap.

If KT would have left for Miami or Ohio State, someone on the SEC Rant would have started a thread with the exact same title.

Oh, well, that's encouraging. The SEC needs to watch out for an unproven QB that has looked pretty solid.

They also beat #22 Mizzou at home as well. Most folks probably feel they would have beaten Vanderbilt and Oklahoma with Taylor. That leaves them with 3 losses (Texas/Bama/LSU). They're right in the conversation.

At least you have the media propaganding your big win over an injured QB and RB from October as your signature win. Sad!


Well that was last week, along with our close loss to UGA. Sorry but ya'll have been replaced with LSU. Hopefully Kamario doesn't dud like Marcell Reed next year.

No, but the down playing of KT is mind boggling when the talk up to now is he was a surefire portal exit from State because the bigger teams just have to have him.

Through those first four games he was outplaying every QB in the SEC.

State fans talked about Kamario all offseason and he was coming into the year with 77 passes. Kamario has started what, 5 SEC games?

You know it when you see it. I think Deuce now is very similar to Kamario last year in that he is a freak athlete and if he can figure out how to get more accurate passing he's going t be dangerous.

Nobody is down playing him. But paying him $7.5 million along with incentives that could take it to $9 million when he’s been injured the last two years and not started half of a full season seems like an interesting choice

He was going to get this amount from someone so State had to pay him that $. I actually think they did a good job in securing him. Until there is an actual cap that can be enforceable $ is going to be dished out in waves like this every offseason. Just the unfortunate state of College Football right now.

Alternatives then? NIL has made the QB spot no different than it is in the NFL; it's incredibly hard to get one starting quality QB even harder for an upper tier and harder still for elite (not saying KT is elite). They aren't going to be able to pull anything like him any time soon.

If your boy Deuce Knight goes down next season after a similar start to KT's, do you, pay him or not pay him? If KT's situation is any indication, there will be a lot of suitors willing to.

Isn’t that like one of your best wins? Wouldn’t clown them too hard.

Paid 9 mil for an injury prone qb who was barely capable of scraping by the lower middle of the conference. Dude went 4-1 and they emptied out their wallets to keep him.


What are you going to do when you lose Russell to Texas A&M?
