Robertson was much higher rated than Parson. If you believe in recruiting rankings.

Understood, however, the guy under Will who is the higher rated QB is not anywhere close to competing with Will, who also has his own shortcomings. Again, that gulf between them after Sawyer has been here two years is concerning. If Will is just a placeholder for someone Leach is very high on and that guy can't even hold Will's jock right now, that's concerning.
yeah I agree it's concerning but game time and practice time are two different things and what bothers me the most is Sawyer not getting any game time / experience .... not even when we should have taken Will out of the game with a big lead .... That makes me think the gap between them is much wider than we are thinking ... my point is for now let's be glad Will is here because Sawyer may not be the answer we are all hoping for.
What really concerns me is Auburn was loading the box Saturday night. They weren't dropping 8 and rushing 3. There was a lot of man coverage. Will still went 6/24 in that span. He couldn't hit a 50/50 to a WR. The Air Raid is supposed to chew man coverage up like a lion with a raw steak. Now that's concerning in year 3.
It is all on Will. Look at the interception he threw. The WR was wide open and he over shot him. Then to be honest, on our drive to tie it with 3 field goals, Will should have been picked, but the DB feel down. I mean he literally threw it right to him. Another one, the last possession our last play before the field goal try, we ran a wheel route. Will missed HORRIBLY. I mean he was like 10 yards ahead of the RB.
Will has been jykle or Hyde. He will play lights out, then completely disappear. When the offense sputters, it’s Will. I don’t know if he gets complacent or scared or what his problem is. He seems to check to runs when he should throw, then he checks to passes when he should clearly run.
We are currently on track to have the 3rd best offense in our school’s history (ppg wise) with one of the nation’s toughest schedules. The only offenses that scored more points than this one are the 2014 and 2015 teams, and we still play an FCS school and a bad ole miss defense which will likely make that PPG go up and possibly Surpass the 15 team. The reason people are down on Mike Leach is because Ole Miss has an exceptional head coach, not just a good head coach like we have. They look at them and say we should be as good or better no matter what. I am not saying that is the wrong attitude to have. A rising tide lifts all boats. That being said, some perspective is needed.
Is the new AD going to pay off CML's buyout before after pulling the cord? Asking for a friend. AD can tell a coach what he expects, goals, etc. from the football program and evaluate and assess but an AD does not make player calls or tell the coach who to play.
My frustration right now has everything to do with the fact that in eleven straight drives against AU, we scored 7 points, after being given the ball on their 25 yard line.
I don't give a sh!t about the bears. We hired an offensive HC, our offense is not getting it done consistently. Anything else is just noise.
I definitely understand being upset with our Auburn performance, but my comment is on the offense as a whole. It’s the 3rd best in our history. If you want to be upset with that type of production then go ahead. I’m not going to stop you. Hell I cuss Mike leach out at least 5 times a game. Putting what we are doing in perspective though, it’s not nearly as bad as people on here want everyone to believe. Dan Mullen had 2 offenses that were better than this one in 9 years and he is our standard. He did that with one of the best quarterbacks in the nfl, currently.
Offenses stall - its football.
For perspective: Fumble, Punt, Fumble, Missed FG. Punt, Td (started on 50), TD (started on opponent 17), Downs, Punt, Punt, Punt, TD (started on own 45), TD (Started on opponent 44).
That's our drive chart from the '17 MSU (7-3, 3-3) vs. Arkansas (4-6, 1-5), where we spent most of the game behind, finally scoring the go ahead TD with 17 seconds left. That offensive genius had similar issues. I guess most of fans were too busy making up rumors about our QB to notice.
And you know Leach didn't suggest to the entire team to take a flu vaccine. So... you know they didn't. If one person had the flu in the locker room, then 25 of them are going to have it showing symptoms by game time.
3rd best in our history is complete shit. Sorry, but our history of offensive production is shit. We didn't hire Leach to have a bad offense. We hired him to win games with great offenses. Haven't seen it yet. And in three years we have only played a complete offensive game once. Every other game, we have taken off huge chunk of the game and pissed it away. It has happened every single game this season, even against non-conference teams.
The one game we did play a complete game on offense, Game 1 against LSU. Ever since then..... amateur hour.
All I can tell you is that under Mullen I didn't dread 3rd and less than 2 yards.
We could convert third and short under Mullen. Teams are playing faster and offenses are getting the ball more and more, so the stats are inflated, across the board. I just know that on 3rd and 1 I want Mullen making the call and not Leach.
That doesn't mean I want Mullen back, I don't ever really mention him, but since you brought him up - that is what I think.
