For those looking to the portal...

[Bass Chaser]

I understand what you're saying and agree, but I think we have to look for a backup at least.

[WinningIsRelentless]

Will has the chance to change the staffs mind in the next 9 game or 10 games if we are looking for a starter or backup. It?s 100% on Will what we are looking for. Mike isn?t going down with Will being nervous to throw it deep.

We as fans don't have a say but what I'm hearing is that we missed on two QBs this last cycle and it's a must to get a transfer. And that ain't what I'm saying that's what's being told.

Missing on 2 highly rated QBs makes you wonder if the deficiency is in coaching or recruiting analysis

What highly rated QB did we get other than Robertson?

[TheLostDawg]

Thunder and lightning had a good point. Basically he has until the Alabama game. That will be his twelfth start. He shows he has it or he doesn't after that.

When since did a qb get 12 games to prove his worth? Guess the patriots are glad Mac Jones got more than that. Dang he should be a rs freshman sitting on the bench w every Tom dick and Harry on here saying he should be getting his shot Bc the present qb sucks...
ETA and no I'm not comparing him to Mac Jones and he won't ever play in the nfl I get that. But still 12 games??

[Todd4State]

We need competition. That's why Abraham leaving hurt. Will was probably the QB anyway, but competition brings out the best in everyone. And we better hope Sawyer, Greek, Locke, or a transfer QB can compete next year.

Exactly. I think Will may respond better to pressure and I think he needs someone to push him. That person was Abraham. We need to find someone like that next year. I bet we end up with another G5 QB that played pretty well and wants a chance at the SEC.

Robertson loved baseball more than he loves football so his commitment to football is not 100%. That's all im gonna say about that. Greek was never signed to be the guy was always going to be a 2 QB. We missed it happens unfortunately we missed twice now we have to now go get some transfers.
Before you all flame away and say I'm wrong... our back up is a 5'9 walk on from USA, not one of the freshman and had JA not gotten hurt they would have been 4th.
It's not ideal

I don't know Sawyer Robertson personally but it could be that his lack of focus is because he knows he's not playing this year. We'll find out in the coming years. So, I don't doubt what you are saying but I also think it's way too soon to say we missed on him. Personally my expectation was for Will start until 2023 and then Sawyer to take over after that with a redshirt year thrown in.

Exactly. There's zero reason to put a definitive "by game 12 you better be performing or else..." I think with all players not just QB's you have to judge them from year to year really rather than a certain number of starts. There is a LOT of development that goes on in the offseason for all football players- physically and also football wise from a player standpoint. To me, by your junior year a typical football player should be mature physically and also have enough game experience as a player to draw from to be effective as a player. All of that adds up. And it's why more experienced college football teams tend to do well. Sure there are unicorns like Chris Jones, Jeffrey Simmons and the majority of Alabama's roster. Kickers and punters may be an exception too but they're different animals anyway.

Let's see. Now, who was the last QB we had that beat Alabama?

Came in rated 8688. How many 8688 rated Qb's have come into the SEC and started 12 games in their first and second year out of high school anf what did they do in those 12 games?

Yep I think we should at the very least give him through the Alabama game to prove himself! LSU and TA&M how much talent is on those teams???????????????????

[Ifyouonlyknew]

Past performance has no bearing on future performance. If Leach sees a QB in the portal he think can help the team
it's his job to bring him in.

That, even I would agree on.

Competition is great but don't expect a savior

The QB situation for 2022 doesn?t look much different than where we are today?.either Will who hasn?t improved or a freshman

Why would will not improve?

[Johnson85]

Why would will not improve?

Some QBs don't. I don't expect that to be the case with Rodgers, but it happens. QBs usually don't top out early in their second year on campus, but I guess if he's been in a similar system and been getting good coaching, it's possible the normal low hanging fruit isn't there for him.

At this point, it is not only about competition, but also practicality. Will could go down at any time with an injury. You have to have someone ready to come in.

Any guesses as to the two we missed on last cycle?
