Love the guy.

Played great for a true freshman. Great representative of State, on and off the field.

Will is good. If you watched last night, it’s clear we need more

[Dogbone]

I grew up in a small town outside of Lubbock so naturally we watched a lot of Texas football in the area. My dad still lives there and hasn't missed a game. He's pretty good at judging players and says Sawyer Robertson is the real deal. He says he's the best qb he has ever seen for a high school player. Should be a good battle between Will and him.

And also did it against an all-SEC schedule minus the bowl game.

Will finished 3rd in the sec in comp %, but finished last in yds/att. Lots of short passes helped inflate comp %. For example, here's top 5 in sec in comp % and their yds/att...

1. Mac Jones: 76.5%, 11.4 yds/att
2. Corral: 71.3%, 10.6 yds/att
3. Rogers: 69.1%, 5.7 yds/att
4. Trask: 68.9%, 9.8 yds/att
5. Franks: 68.5%, 8.9 yds/att

So, Rogers' yds/att is 56.1% less than the closest one in that group, Franks. Most of these short passes seem to be to marks (60 catches at a really low 4.5 yds/catch).

Now some of this is by design bc of our offense, but it does make the comp % high. Now that list above has 3 seniors and the most talented qb in the league, so it's great company. If will can stretch the field more, he could be pretty good.

Somebody e-mail him this, his address is thorka@gannett.com. I started to and realized my e-mail account is company, I don't have a personal account. If I sent it to him on my company account he might try to exact revenge and get me fired, for all the nasty comments I have posted on his articles.

Leach says he wants a QB that is accurate. Rogers is definitely that.

[Leeshouldveflanked]

We need a QB who is accurate 30 yards down the field.... Robertson already has that...Rogers hasn?t shown that yet.

[Santiago]

Throwing a true freshman into an all SEC schedule, and a supporting cast of freshmen and sophomores ....he did quite well. We should at least give him these props, without breaking him down. Next year takes care of itself. Enjoy the young man helping us out this year after the senior starting QB got a case of the yips.

PREACH! Rep given!

[chef dixon]

Rogers is going to be significantly ahead of Sawyer by kick off next Fall

I'm always gonna dig in to things. It's ok to appreciate a good job, and at the same time, critique it.

Some of that is Will developing more confidence in throwing the ball deep and I think he will. Some of it is from pressure from the line not blocking well at times too.

Could be. Whatever the reasons, we need some more yds/att next season... need attack down field more. RBs getting more on check downs will help too

The silver lining in all this, is we have some good young QB's that will be driven by competition, and from all accounts seem to have leadership qualities. Guys that will be at the film room early. This will be a fun ride for the next few years.

Speaking of qb competition, do you guys think we get a spring practice? Sawyer may be on more equal footing if we have no spring.

Knowing how Will took the receivers last summer and starting running plays at Starkville HS, I would bet the young crew practices somehow, somewhere.

Will the thrill!

Lol at this clown comment, Rogers has been great at taking advantage of what the defense gives him... try again
