Will Rogers sighting..

[57stratdawg]

Let’s see something..

 

[57stratdawg]

He should be the QB here on out.

 

[RocketDawg]

He looks good, but I wish we'd not waited to when we were down 21 to put him in.

 

[SoulCatcher]

15 quarters without an offensive TD. Good to see Rogers score though....

 

[BoDawg.sixpack]

I like how he doesn't hold on to the ball

however with his build he's one good hit from being broken in half. We are truly 17ed at the QB position.

 

[L4Dawg]

They are blocking for him. Interesting.

They are blocking for him. Interesting.

He's not holding the ball long enough to get to him.

 

[Dawg1976]

He's listed as 6'2" 205 lbs. Looks like 5'10" 175 lbs.

 

[L4Dawg]

He's not holding the ball long enough to get to him.

That too but he is not getting dropped as he is dropping back either.

 

[Ralph Cramden]

Its Will's team from here out. KJ is done. And Will is tougher than KJ. He may get broken in half but he is a gamer for sure. There are a lot of NFL QB that aren't big enough either, yet they will be in the HOF

 

[Russ Wheeler]

Not much difference to me. OL still sucks.

But sure, start him next week and see what happens.

Got to go with Rogers from here out. He is pretty mobile in the pocket, has quicker release, and appears to make decisions faster. With our OL, that is our only chance.

Playing a true freshman QB is not ideal, but it’s our best option.

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

Biggest difference I saw is that he is not gun shy or nervous like the California Kid. Quick release, mobile, but raw, raw, raw.

I hope we do start him but it has some feeling like last season with the Sr. getting the start.

 

[Dawg1976]

Nothing to lose at this point but experience to gain for the young man.

 

[tenureplan]

He isnt mobile, but kj makes him look so

 

[MSUDC11]

He has to be the guy the rest of the way, just hope this o-line doesn’t get him killed. We did look a little better with him in there, just not sure how much you can take away from one good scoring drive.

This year is now just preparation for 2021 and 2022. Maybe we get a bowl invite this year, maybe not, no idea. But there is no point in not building for the future now, especially when the younger guys are better in many cases.

 

[NCDawg.sixpack]

Not much difference to me. OL still sucks.

Agree. Doesn't matter who the QB is if he can't run. OL gives very little protection

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

You're right, he's not a runner but he CAN move his feet in the pocket and move around without looking like a rabbit in the gun sights.

 

[messageboardsuperhero]

He isnt mobile, but kj makes him look so

He’s not Fitz/Prescott mobile, but he moves pretty well in the pocket. Kind of reminds me of how Minshew moves. Rogers has pretty quick feet and can buy time, which is required with this OL. The best thing he does is make quick decisions, has a quick release, makes accurate throws for a freshman, and knows the offense.

I’m not saying Rogers is a world beater at this point in his career, but he’s clearly our best option. Not saying we are going to turn into a good offense from here on out, but we should improve going forward.
