re: Kamario Taylor done for the year

While that may be true, Taylor will just go down as a Miss St legend, just like Dak.
He will NEVER win anything of substance at Miss St. No SEC Title, no Heisman and possibly no CFP appearance.
If he wants any of those three he will have to leave.

I don’t know if you’ve heard but the playoff in 2027 is expanding to 24 teams. A healthy Kamario all year will certainly have us in the playoff discussion if not solidly in.
Hell, with a healthy Kamario this year we were staring 8 wins in the face with a decent shot at 9 or 10.
So many people don’t realize Kamario is from just up the road from Starkville in a tiny, tiny town with no stoplights born to a family that are huge State fans and he grew up one himself. He literally committed to our interim coach after Leach died and was in the stands cheering his arse off for us during our 2-10 season. He is a die hard state fan that just so happens to be 6-4, 230 with a cannon for a right arm.
If he was Kamario Taylor the random no name 3 star that came out of no where from Alexandria Virginia or Dallas Texas I would be extremely worried but he was a 4 star highly recruited kid that still committed to us when we were god awful after Leach died

8 wins isn’t getting you into a 24 team playoff. Miss St doesn’t have the depth to run through the top 6 SEC programs. Much less having to schedule another P4 program, if it happens to be the wrong program. Also the FCS games are likely going away so that is a rent a win that’ll be gone.
I’m not oblivious to Miss St and their situation either. I have family that are faculty there. I hope K1 stays and doesn’t leave, it’s great for the sport, but Miss St is a coattail program in football in the SEC. Bottom 1/3 of the league.
This isn’t baseball, you’re a mediocre program that peaks at 9 wins. A 10 win season is, I’m not trying to be a dick here, but that’s the reality.

We’ll increase that this offseason and Kamario will likely get something in the 5-7 range if I had to guess
Did you see the Oregon State kid that committed to stay already.
If I were MSU, I'd be trying to lock this down as soon as possible. That would at least be something positive that came out of the situation. I wouldn't want him entering the portal and hearing offers...even if his intent was to stay at MSU.

The point was 8 wins was likely this season with Taylor, and, then improve on that the next season. That was a very possible scenario, but that doesn't mean State would all of sudden be perennially competitive. As soon as Taylor goes, it's back down the ladder.
And that's the real shame of the injury. No way for that to happen this season, and while I think there's a chance for a playoff appearance next season, I'd feel stronger about that if Kamario Taylor had been able to play out this season.

An 8-4 SEC team is most likely going to make a 24 team playoff or at least right on the bubble but it’s not crazy to think we could win 9 next year with a full season of a healthy Kamario.
I realize we don’t have the depth of the top level teams and I’m not even acting like we are going to be some consistent playoff contender because we won’t but we are going to push every last chip we have into 2027
And lol at the FCS comment. Who cares. our 3 non con games next year are Missouri state, Chattanooga and Minnesota (who we thrashed at their place this year) all at home. We have Vandy and Arkansas on the schedule next year
I’ll reiterate again that we aren’t going to be some consistent top program but when stars align we have proven we can win 9-10 games. Leach did it before he died, Mullen did it and so did Jackie. Yes, the game is much different nowadays but have you looked around the country? There is far more parity than ever before and almost no one has proper “depth” anymore.
To act like we just have no hope in the world to make a 24 team playoff is a dumb statement. Hell, just looking at the last 15 years we would’ve made a 24 team playoff 4 times looking at final CFP rankings.

I think he is solid, don't get me wrong. I just think it's funny these college guys are getting paid as much as they do before they even really earn it.
Fortunately it’s at a time in a young man’s life where he’s known for excellent, mature decision making.

You go back that far and the same criteria, my Louisiana Ragin Cajuns make it twice. Does that sound even remotely realistic?
The delusion in Starkvegas surrounding football is wild.

And? Why does that even matter. We aren’t talking about the Cajuns and the sun belt

It’s called living in reality. 8-4 won’t get you into the playoffs. Miss St would have to have the SEC office give you the weakest schedule to get yall to 9-3. Especially with 9 game SEC schedules.
K1 is the most fun player to watch in the SEC, but you’re still Mississippi State. You’ll be 10-15 players short in order to have a legit shot. Can’t afford any bad losses and will have to pull off 3 upsets just to get to a 10 win season.
This isn’t baseball.

We would have won at least 8 games this year with a healthy Kamario. It’s not outside the realm of possibility to expect another year of development for Kamario and a better team around him for us to win 9 games next year.
I mean I agree getting to 10+ wins is a bit of a stretch but again you are acting like us sniffing the playoffs with one of the best QBs in the country is impossible when it literally would’ve happened this year. We’d be 5-2 right now with a healthy Kamario and ok we probably lose in Austin this week then reel off 3 wins against Auburn, Vandy and Tn tech so we’d roll into Oxford at 8-3 and the narrative would be we could pull a slight upset to get to 9-3 and make a playoff case in this years 12 team format. Not saying we’d be a lock in this hypothetical scenario but this scenario isn’t some crazy delusional thought.
I mean shite Kentucky is 7-1 right now and thinking playoffs (I imagine they have some losses coming up) but they are a similar program as us. Are they delusional thinking they could make it this year or god forbid next year in a 24 team playoff format? With the parity around the country the portal has caused and an expanded playoff it’s opened the door a little more for programs like us to get in. It’s not going to happen every year and we won’t be able to build teams like this year in and year out but when a program like us has a dynamic game changer at a key position like QB we can absolutely make it in
