Some of you guys never played QB, need to stop talking about not knowing about a position you have no idea what it's like.
Yes Will is not real athletic but he is smart and very accurate. And no not anyone could fit into Leach's system.
If u disagree go outside and just throw a football in a tire from say 15 yards. LOL
QB is hardest position on the field.
Look, Bucky, I agree that Will is not losing us games. Read it again slowly- WILL IS NOT THE REASON WE LOST THE GAME. He?s a very good system QB in the right system. That?s typically a recipe for success. That being said, outside of his grit and toughness, there is very little special about him that couldn?t be replaced by almost any other D1 college QB with similar grit. He?s doing what he?s being asked to do and that?s good enough to put us in position to win.
Here's the passer rating leader nationally since 2012
2021: McCall
2020: mac Jones
2019: burrow
2018: tua
2017: mayfield
2016: mayfield
2015: Vernon Adams
2014: mariota
2013: Winston
2012: Winston
I'd say there's a strong correlation between great passer rating and great ability
Will is going to be a legend but he?s still developing. It seems to take him about a quarter to warm up. The problem is that quarter usually puts us 7-10 points in the hole and we are playing from behind. He needs to come out of the gate playing like he does in quarters 2.5 - 4. That will come with seasoning and experience I?m sure.
Will will be our Graham Harrell and there?s absolutely nothing wrong with that.
Right now he's playing better than any QB in the conference. He has to keep it up. But if you think any other D1 QB can replace him ... you don't know a thing about QB play. Some could. But Arky's couldn't. Neither can KY's, FL's, etc. What is really impressive to me more than anything ... is how much better his movement when pressured has become, how well he's slipping and sliding in the pocket under pressure, how well he's finding his 4th option when on the move, and how damn accurate he's been the last 2 games on the move. He's really seeing the field well now. He's made some really difficult throws lately while on the move and hit his WR right where he needed to.
And I'm not saying he's Montana either ... it took me about Brady's 7th SB for me to put him in Montana's category.
At the beginning of year I wasn't sure he'd be our long term solution at QB and had a quite a few doubts myself. But I also took into account that he's a true soph, which most don't on this board. They want our true sophs to step on the field and play like Bama RS sophs or Jrs. Or Oline was not playing that well to start season either.
Will does not need me to defend him, all he has done is prove some on here wrong every step of the way.
I like you intentionally swapping accounts back to back on my account, Bucky, in an attempt to put Batman and Bruce Wayne in the same room at the same time. 😂
Will?s numbers in this system have him ranked at number 2. That?s awesome, but he?s not even in a top QB conversation. Maybe he will be next year, but you don?t have to push him so hard on us like he?s your kid. I know you can?t stand criticism, but you?re so far gone that you can?t even stand a complementary statement that doesn?t claim that he?s better than Dak.
Oh, and Buck, just use your regular account. You?re better than a burner account to talk on here. Save that for Twitter.
