    How long is the leash?

    If we start out like we did against SELA next Saturday against Arizona, how long before you make a QB change? 1 series? 1 quarter? 1 half? Or let it ride? If you do change, do you stick with Wright or do you go to a 2 QB game plan?

    How long is the leash? ... about 13 games.

    I edited to add, Will is a captain. Will is our general out there. We will go as far as he can take us. I hope the light turns on for him. Let?s go.

    I can?t imagine going through life blindly following someone. If you are content with the QB play in the first half Saturday then you deserve a losing season.

    There is no leash. Will Rogers is QB1 for every game barring an injury.

    You are arguing with COOTERPOOT. It’s not like you are philosophizing with Socrates.

    I need to see Wright throw a pass first before anything.

    Otherwise no way do I not start Will this week barring injury or illness.

    I assume the coaching staff has seen Wright throw a pass in practice sessions. And they chose Will.

    Will is the starter, period. He will be QB1 all season long.

    Now, with that said, we are rope a doping LSU's DC with Wright only running the ball. Barbay never let Wright attempt some passes even when it was late in the game and we winning handily. I'm sure we are going to see some run/pass options for Wright in the LSU game.

    How long is the leash? It will be as long as the LSU D-line allows it to be. If they get penetration like they did the first half last night, we won't be able to get off a pass.

    I?m under the opinion they are doing the right thing and letting the 3 year starter either win or lose the job on the field. Basically the leash is long enough for him hang himself.

    It's an extremely long leash. It might not even have 2 ends on it.

    Leash should and will be short on all players with this staff. We are beyond Hollaway up the middle or Aries not getting the playing time a blind man could see he deserved. Hail State!

    Not a chance in hell. Let the offense struggle in a couple of games with us losing them and a change will be made.

    People for some reason think there was an actual QB competition in camp and they chose Rogers. No. That didnt happen. A new HC and OC had no choice but to start Rogers regardless of the performance of the QB's in camp. There was no way they could replace Rogers in the beginning. It would be a PR nightmare for them.

    I'm in no way saying a change needs to be made or will be made. However, if the offense struggles- then you can bet they will want to put the guy in there that can run the ball and force the defense to account for him also in the run game.

    This. There is a reason that Wright came in immediately in the first quarter when we were struggling. The best thing is that Will has no choice but to improve and he knows it and I honestly expect him to respond.

    Do you think that Rogers would still be out there if there was an option that's better? Think Arnett just wants to keep him in just because he's "earned it?"

    If somebody else gave us a better chance of winning, they'd be in. And if there is someone who gives us a better chance of winning, and they're not playing because of some random reason....this won't end well.
