Lovertich has a better arm and is definitely more mobile. If Rogers goes down, we will still be able to throw the 5 yard hitch 30 times with Chance.

Agreed! It was nice to see someone not stand there like a statue and look like he knew what he was doing.
Yeah Leach has no idea what hes doing
I like Chance he?s a tough kid and has had to prove everyone wrong since HS. He is a winner.
But hes not ever gonna beat Will
He should've gotten p/t in some of the other games. No reason this late in the season for no other QB to have even taken a snap other than Will.
I know this was a jab, but not EVER pulling your starting QB this year has me questioning that.Quote:

Why? We havent ever been in a position to pull Will. Will didnt let them pull him out last week. Sometimes we just bitch about stuff just to do itQuote:

Losing by 5 TDs last week in the 2nd half when our starter had a shoulder issue wasn't "in a position to pull will"?Quote:

Yes. But I clearly said he didnt want to come out so we left him in.Quote:

The rest of the season is more important than blowout stat padding time.Quote:

I agree with that. You will have to take that up with Will and Leach. The kid did not want to come out bc he is a competitor. So we left him in. Its his team.
Maybe the adults should make decisions. Will shouldn't make that call even though it's admirableQuote:

So, we shouldn't have tried someone else last week when we got the **** beat out of us and literally had no chance to come back and win a game we lost by 40? Hell, even his Dad should understand this.....
I agree with that. But you arent on the team and dont have a relationship with Will. Leach does. Its easy to sit here and say thatQuote:

Well that’s a really stupid decision by the head coach. It’s Mike Leach’s team. Not Will’s. He is responsible. Not will.Quote:

There is not another logical side to it. Will is our guy and he is the starter. The head coach should not jeopardize the future of the program in a blowout where our OL can’t block and the game is over and 5 star defensive linemen are killing the future of the program. That is not smart. Part of being a head coach is making tough decisions and telling guys who would never take themselves out of the game that they have to sit for the betterment of the program.Quote:

Coaches making 35k per year in Mississippi do that every Friday night. Leach is making 5 million. It's not that hard.
Yes there is. You are dealing with people not a robotQuote:

I didn't see anything that made me think Lovertich should be starting and I didn't see anything that would make me panic if he came in.
Amen, you don’t put your best option in jeopardy at that point.Quote:
