To be with Lebby... I mean he'd be going to a good Coach/Offensive guy, but that would be a pretty bad decision imo. MSU sucks ****.
I also imagine he'd get more money many other places.

I don't know, honestly. The coaches did a lot to protect him at Tulane. He was good, don't get me wrong, but he was in a run first offense that had a 1,400 yard RB. Tulane ran for over 200 yards a game. He wasn't asked to throw it 30+ times a game, and rarely did. Tulane had very good WRs in Mario Williams and Yulkeith Brown too, which helped him.

All that to say, I don't know how he'd look in Dawson's offense. Maybe he'd be fine. He is talented, obviously, but the coaches protected him this year for a reason. Part of it was he was a...

Can’t help but see some Cam Ward in his game watching highlights.

A lot of similar tools. Could be like getting Ward in his first year at Wazzu

respectfully, he's not in the same stratosphere of arm-talent and that's Cam's game.

I've been looking for next-level passing ability in highlights and I haven't seen it yet.

Feel free to pass on any film you think shows his passing ability.

Said the same in prior posts. Just saying I think he's a similar playing style to Cam, not the same talent level. I'm saying I think you'd be looking at something like the 3rd year version of Ward - you obviously can't compare him to the 5th year version. Mensah should grow and improve. The raw arm talent will never be there at that level though.

When you look at raw stats though he's the only one in the portal, and likely the only one that enters this cycle in the same stratosphere. Attempting to take out volume from the equation:

Yards per attempt - 9.5 - Cam - Also 9.5 (3rd and 4th in the country)
QBR - 166.7 - Cam - 171.1 (6th and 4th in the country)
TD% - 7.7% - Cam 8.3% (13th and 8th in the country)

The only other comparable from a stats perspective would be John Mateer or Sawyer Robertson.
