Troy Freaking Andersen!

[BleedingBLue]

Troy is in a tough spot with Falcon fans who are also UGA fans who really wanted Nakobe Dean.

I see this kind of comment a lot:

Haha glad that clown did his research. "Failed FCS QB" says everything we need to know about that tweeter.

Yeah, tell me you don’t know anything about Troy Andersen without telling me you don’t know anything about Troy Andersen.

The funny part about that particular dig is that Troy managed to lead the team to and win a playoff game during his one failed season, something the Falcons haven't done since 2017.

(2018) MSU’s first First Team All-Big Sky quarterback since DeNarius McGhee in 2012... Third Team All-America as an All-Purpose selection for STATS... also named Sophomore All-America by Hero Sports, and FCS Sophomore of the Year by that organization... started at QB in 11 of MSU’s 13 games... rushed for at least 100 yards a school-record nine times, 94 in one other... 64-for-111 passing (.576) for 717 yards with two TDs, one INT in the last five games... his 21 rushing TDs is the MSU single-season record... has scored at least one touchdown in 11 straight games, a school record... broke a bone in his hand during the opener, and played a limited role on defense and at running back in the next two... his 211 rushing yards against Portland State was second-most ever by a Big Sky QB... threw for 107 yards and caught a 32-yard pass at a key moment of that game, as well... 102 rushing yards and a TD against Weber State, the most by any FCS player against WSU this season.... threw for 173 yards on 16-for-28 passing against ISU... MSU’s Sonny Holland Offensive MVP... Academic All-Big Sky.

I wish all of our QBs would fail like this.

SEC fans are the absolute worst. As a whole, I wouldn't consider them football fans at all--they're just SEC fans. We beat up on gris fans, but they're not nearly as ignorant as the average SEC fan.

You can't really blame the Falcons/UGA folks for being disappointed - what would the reaction be like on this board if MSU were to not offer a well-known Montana high school player in favor of an out-of state kid with major upside but no ties to the state? It would not be 100% positive, that's for sure.

Twitter reply threads has never been nor will ever be the place to go for reasonable and well thought out reactions and opinions.

You're right, but hopefully most of us would be rational about it. Nobody else wanted Dean either in the first two rounds. He's small-ish, and scouts apparently had concerns about his decision not to get surgery on his pectoral injury. Ultimately I though I think you're right...you're always going to pull for your guy.

I'd guess most Falcons fans are rational and are willing to give Troy more than one preseason game to show if he can live up to his draft position. Any fanbase will have its small share of obnoxious loudmouths and the best place to find them is usually on social media.

Especially Twitter. And it does seem like quite a few fans have come around on Troy too, so I'll give them credit.

The fans that are bashing him will look like idiots soon enough.

And that's why I said Troy is in a tough spot. He's going to have to basically be a superstar to appease some of these kinds of fans.

Once he gets settled he's gonna be fine and a lot of Falcons are going to have to eat some crow.

Yeah. But if you go their fan forum, he's getting quite a bit of love too. Many poster point out that the UGA homers hate any pick that doesn't come from Georgia. But I think most of the knowledgeable fans know he has a shot to be something special. I put a prediction on there that he'll be an impact player by mid season. But he's definitely going to have some growing pains early.

Anyone watching the game against the Jags? How is Troy looking?

Didn’t get in until late 2nd qtr. But in my opinion looks more comfortable out there than Monday night.

Made a tackle in the middle last time the jaguars had the ball. I was golfing and just got home and turned the tv on. Haven’t watched any of the game.

Haha, I will take that. The word my wife used wasn’t as nice.

Looks good. Made a couple tough tackles. Made an inexperienced mistake on one play. He’s more athletic ability than 90% of the LBs in the NFL.

[RobertCats]

Hit the QB on a blitz, whiffed the sack but made QB step up into another defender as he threw and forced a INT.
