I am extremely excited!

Any player who tanks for one QB and plays hard for a different one should be cut immediately. I sure hope that's not the case and it's just that Rogers has a better feel for the offense and makes everyone look better.

In the real world, it doesn't matter whether you like your coworkers or not - you're still expected to give 100% effort at any job regardless of whatever personal feelings you have.

While what you say is true, something looked bad off with the relational dynamics between offensive position groups. Plus, based on consistent and ongoing body language, they've looked deflated since running on the field at UK. Really is a peculiar thing to observe. When Rogers entered the game, their affect and demeanor clearly shifted in a positive direction.

I seemed to notice that as well. Something else I noticed. When O was on bench, camera showed KJ trying to pump up the OL. The look on their faces said it all. Like they could care less. I saw a different reaction when Will came in.

KJ seems like a good kid, I hate it for him. Like Stevens, that is a tough gig to win a locker room in one month. I think it is like why should I lay it on the line when the QB won't do it? I remember the reaction when Shrader copter was executed.

I watched that on the sidelines as well. A lot of players at that level, at least QB's, while they certainly have to sacrifice and work hard to channel their talent and build/refine their skills, get used to a lot of life going the way they want it to from an early age. Being told "no" or being/feeling invisible is not something they've had to worry a whole lot about. So for him to do the leadership thing with the OL and get either no response or a negative response from them, be flailing in this offense, draft stock evaporating, and having it all happen a looong way from home has to be a mind f**k.

That said, it's football in the SEC. He has a degree from Stanford, a home in the OC and will probably be just fine in the long run. Question: other than Justin Fields and Gardner M, how rare is it for a transfer QB to come in and light it up in year 1? Even Burrows had a year to take in the culture, (part of) the offense, and earn the respect of his team before becoming who he became.

Scam Newton did just fine
