Prediction time: Who takes the most snaps at QB next year?

[Rex54]

Shrader, Rogers, Mayden, transfer?

Accuracy is Leach's most important attribute. He says "you can't teach accuracy". Who fits this bill? And will they break Dak's 3,793 yds in a season?

[HailStateSZN19]

I'm starting to lean transfer, personally. I think if it's an experienced transfer starting at QB for an entire season, I think they throw for just over 4,000 yds. If it's Shrader or if Rogers eventually works his way onto the field, I think it'll be 2021 before either would break the record. Shrader/Rogers would need 1 season to really break into throwing it 40-50 times per game in the SEC. Then in 2021, one of them would break it.

[BuckyIsAB****]

My money is on Rogers

We know Coach. I hope your kid does well too. Best possible hire for him.

[Dawgface]

No idea.

[dawgday166]

I have no idea but if I were betting right now ... I'm guessing probably a transfer.

I wouldn't rule out Roger/Shrader/Mayden. I've watched Mayden very little tho. I don't think KT will have Leach's primary attributes he's looking for in a QB enough to take the most snaps. Shrader has to grow up quicker and put in the work. Rogers mind is probably in the right place for possibly being a starter unless Leach gets a transfer.

[gtowndawg]

Transfer. Rogers after next season.

Transfer by this year but I am really excited to see Will Rogers take over the Wild Wild West!

Ha trust me Im not his daddy

[HailStateSZN19]

Ha trust me Im not him.

Bucky, can you compare Will at this stage to where Minshew was? And how he projects compared to Minshew?

I’m so damn excited to see Will in this offense going forward. He’s gonna be deadly in it.

I think Will has a stronger arm than Minshew had. Minshew was a little thicker than Rogers is right now but that will change. Will is probably 200-205 he will be 215 before camp.

Rogers got in a much better situation than Minshew did. Rogers got a P5 offer and made MS/AL while Minshew got neither. I think both of them were a little disrespected by the media especially Gardner. Both of them are 2 of the best leaders I have ever seen. Competitors and they both have ran this offense since they were in the 7th grade. A version of it anyway. Film junkies. Both of them made calls at the LOS their SR years and that is precisely what Leach wants.

[Todd4State]

Transfer. Hopefully it will work out better than Stevens. At least I think Leach will cut off any locker room issues that there may be.

Leach's guy will be the one who is the best upstairs. Be interesting to see who that is.

[Uncle Ruckus]

Would you offer everyone from Brandon a scholly?

[missouridawg]

Why does no one feel like Shrader can be the guy? He had a really solid freshman year in limited snaps.

[DogsofAnarchy]

Shrader

[Cooterpoot]

Shrader 1, Mayden 2, Rogers isn't ready and Leach doesn't like playing FR QBs. Key gone.
Brown will start if he transfers in but he can't survive a season.

[Rex54]

Should be fun to watch Rogers sling it in 4 games this year and start in 2021 as a FR

[Huntsville Dawg]

Shrader.

My bet: Shrader

But I make that bet only basing it on what we have seen this year. Shrader has potential and is an athlete. He also still has a good bit of work in front him. The potential is there.

That said, this is a battle I'm excited about. I think Leach will have a successful quarterback. And we have candidates already on campus and will be attractive to those in the portal as well. The future of the quarterback position at msu is exciting.

[Dawgfan77]

GS has some off field issues he needs to work on. I?m not sure his work ethic matches up with CML.

[Scared_Hitless]

Shrader will be the guy unless we get a good grad transfer. He is going to get his shot to become a leader of this team. I do not think CML will allow him to be reckless shall we say like JoMo allowed.

If he cannot get more mature, I think CML will not hesitate to move on to Will Rogers. I do expect an open competition to occur in the spring which GS should be healthy for.

[Coursesuper]

This is exactly correct, he going to have to make some real changes or he's not going to be around.

Be interesting if shrader sticks around once he sees playtime is over. I really hope so... his talent isn't in question

If Roger's is a film junkie, it will be him soon. That tells me a lot about him. Doing the extra work, attention to detail. That's a winner. I don't know if it will be him this year or not but it will be eventually.

[Johnson85]

Why does no one feel like Shrader can be the guy? He had a really solid freshman year in limited snaps.

Because his biggest strength, his athleticism, doesn't matter as much to Leach. He was pretty good passing as a true freshman, but he didn't look like a great passer. Just not clear that his accuracy is good enough and his decision making fast enough to run Leach's offense. I hope it is because his athleticism will be a help if he's good at running Leach's offense. THeh scheme Washington used to stop WSU for example, would just result in him getting a lot of 6-8 yard runs.

[tcdog70]

Shrader will be the Guy. If defense runs a man to man --it will open the field for him to run. So that will be an option Leach hasn't had in a QB very often.

[StarkVegasSteve]

Shrader would be an absolute weapon in this offense. If Garrett can improve his downfield accuracy a little and just get comfortable in the offense he will put up MASSIVE numbers. His ability to run when things break down is something we haven't seen many times in this type of offense. Saying all that, he has to improve the accuracy or the rest won't matter. Defenses have to fear that he could launch one deep if they stack the box.

[FISHDAWG]

Is Key absolutely for certain gone ?

[Dawgfan77]

I wouldn?t get my hopes up GS. The guy has talent but his mentality about college and football needs to get better. Plus he needs to go to class and be at meetings....

Hopefully he's not an idiot and will either transfer out immediately or buy-in. No sense in him wasting a year of eligibility proving that Leach won't let him screw off and still get playing time.

[USS Relf]

Can someone give me an honest answer why Shrader has "off-the-field issues"? Yes, I've seen the rumors that he dropped a racial slur in the WG scuffle but besides forum conjecture, I've yet to see a substantial reporter back that up, including that infamous Arkansas practice when he started another fight (allegedly). Besides Kylin, He was the only bright spot of this season for the games I watched. Did Cohen actually meet with him after they fired Moorhead? If so, that tells you all you need to know. If not, this is as wide open as it gets

[raymonddawg]

No they can't. People on here don't know anything about GS other than what they've read on Twitter or another board.

[OLJWales]

Would love to see KT somehow emerge and develop better Throwing skills.

[FISHDAWG]

Ralph & Dak got better as the years went by but they were playing as starters ..... I think Key would get better if he had more playing time.... but I'm no QB guru

Here's the simplest way to prove it. If you are the starting QB and your OL and offense lets you get your ass beat to the point of having your face broken you are not a very likable QB.

I cant think of another OL or offense I have ever EVER been around that would allow that to happen to their QB. It would be an all out brawl on the practice field.
