Mississippi State Football: Changing quarterbacks is addressing the symptoms, not the illness

The Mississippi State football team has gotten off to an abysmal start in SEC play. The Bulldogs are averaging just over 200 yards a game against SEC opponents and have scored a total of 13 points in those two games.

As is often the case when a team is struggling, fans of Mississippi State football want to change quarterbacks. Nick Fitzgerald has struggled, and a lot of people are ready to move on to Keytaon Thompson.

I’m not opposed to a quarterback change. But people need to understand what a quarterback change will and won’t do. A quarterback change will prepare the team better for the future.
