Rebel football takes another hard lick; John Youngblood and Chad Kelly both out for the season. If you're Freeze do you burn Patterson's redshirt this late, stay with Pellerin or ? I heard Freeze even considered asking Ryan Buchanan to dress. Probly seems like a bad dream to the UM staff.

Y'all better hope Freeze burns the redshirt of you ever want to see him play for Mississippi, because when the NCAA sentence comes down early next year, he'll transfer anyway if he knows what's good for him.

Who redshirts a 3-year talent anyway?

That's what I was wondering Tim. If Patterson is everything he claims to be then the redshirt does not matter. I have heard that Patterson is refusing to burn his redshirt and has been doing that for a while now. I wondered why we had not been seeing the future of Ole Miss football getting some reps. This could be the difference in the Rebs going to a bowl game or not. Just think if they don't go to a bowl they could possibly wind up not going to one for three years if the NCAA puts a bowl ban on them. I also heard that Freeze asked Buchannon to dress out.

Eli Manning redshirted his freshman year to learn the system and mature. Seems to have worked out ok.....

At this point in the season, I'd hate to burn Patterson's year. Pellerin seems to be able to manage the offense - he hasn't been given much chance to show anything other than short yardage plays - and unless the defense stiffens up, no amount of Kelly-style heroics is going to matter much.

Do you want a kid that is possibly the future of Ole Miss football taking off the redshirt behind the sham that is our offensive line? He will be murdered against SEC defenses. Myles Garret will be on him all night. This season has been an absolute nightmare with injuries and tough breaks.... Don't make it worse by getting your future QB killed. If Freeze played him and he got his ACL torn people would be up in arms about what a dumb move it was.

Let Pellerin play he threw the ball well the receivers (and Engram) dropped catch able balls, keep Patterson redshirted. Don't burn a redshirt on a kid for 3 games and the possibility to play in the Liberty Bowl.

Yeah Freeze asked Buchanan, you need a QB because he wants to keep Patterson redshirted and Buchanan had been in the system for 2 years. He knows enough of the playbook to be a suitable backup... if he's stayed in shape.

I've also heard Patterson ain't eligible. TIFWIW.

I hope Buchanan would tell him where he could go. He was done wrong and if I were him, I'd be thinking it's all poetic justice.
