Maybe you guys are right, but Altmyer is more mobile and has a stronger arm. I’m willing to bet he could learn the offense quickly, too.
In the game thread on Reddit I saw plural neutral fans say that if you swapped QBs, State would be up big (comments were made during the game). So fans that have no dog in the fight can see Dart is much better than Rogers. Where did Dart come from? Oh yeah, the Portal. Why are so many convinced we couldn't get a Dart level QB if OM can?
Ppl overreact. Will has deficiencies obviously but he will be a 4 year starter and has been solid. Hell yeah wish he could run but he does what he does and hopefully progresses. He has at least gotten better every year.
As far as his replacement when he is gone. Gotta get him NOW. No time in the SEC to rebuild when you have some momentum. Gotta do it, just have to.
Dart in our offense would be incredible. Will is a a division two or even three physical talent. Right now if you watch high school varsity football you will see average qbs who have stronger arms, much better speed, quickness and are physically stronger than Will.
This is not the deciding factor. If you process reads mentally very quickly, have great accuracy and nerves of steel/fearless in the pocket/pocket presence-sensing the rush.....you can still be effective in the air raid.
That is a problem here, Will, panics and doesn’t have guts in the pocket and can’t see the field well, he lacks poise.
You can’t be physically limited and lack poise, get the yips.
Will is a liability right now.
He’s a good person, I root for him, it I’m just not seeing it.
So does Braedyn Locke just not exist anymore? Lol. It was Sawyer, Sawyer, Sawyer. Then we saw a pick in garbage time against ETSU. Now it's straight to Parsons. Lol
We on this board determine nothing. Locke is a stud, watch his hudl film. No you don’t throw a true freshman out there in the sec. Sawyer may still be a great qb when he gets his turn. One or two series as a rs frosh mean nothing. Leach has pulled surprises with his qbs before, he’s not afraid to name a new starter.
To give an example of lack of mobility at qb not being everything in the air raid , BJ Symons played a season on one leg at tech, he had an acl tear. He was great and very effective. His skills were a rocket arm and he was fearless in the pocket. That was enough.
Locke is still on the roster. He's another four star QB from Texas. He is a true freshman this year.
We also have Greek. All i remember about him was people talking about how hot his mom is. Lol.
I'm excited about Parsons too, to be clear. I just don't expect him to pick this to immediately as true freshman.
