I've always been a big KJ supporter. Still think he will be picked in the middle rounds and get a chance to make a squad. He looks very tentative right now which is not a recipe for success. Shaw will promote him which will count with some teams.

Not sure any team will draft him if he rides the bench, or continues to rotate in and out for a losing team all year. KJ may be a great example of how timing and luck sometimes matter as much as talent.

I like KJ and appreciate the one great year he gave us . I think his next one would have been good without injury, much of which emanated from an opening game cheapshot that went under penalized. After week one at Miss State, this board was full of condemnation of Shaw for not providing KJ the flexibility to go for max every play. Not so much of that anymore. Maybe it’s time To consider the possibility that Shaw handled KJ just right .  Maximized  his talent and minimized his tendancy to get in trouble and turn the ball over.  I’m not sure of that but I am sure KJ would not have thrown for 600 yards every game if only Shaw had turned him loose. Come on folks, confession is good for the soul. Own it!

The fact that KJ is an average QB talent, and the fact that Shaw is a below average offensive mind, are independent truths that are not related.

I'm happy for KJ - he had a glorious week in the Football Landscape (something he never would have achieved here) - and he still has his Stanford degree and friends.  And who knows, he may resurface later this season at Mississippi State.  His NFL prospects were largely independent of this season's results, imo, due to the limitations Lex noted above.

Look, it takes all of about 15 minutes watching QBs take game snaps to figure out which one is better.  Mills is better.  Mills will also be limited by Shaw's mediocre offensive mind, but his upside is higher.
