It all depends on the flow of a game and what the defense gives. Again, I still say Rogers should start but Wright needs reps in every single game also, trust me there is going to be a point in the year where Wright uses his legs to either win a game or get us out of trouble.
    Rogers is the starter. Will remain the starter.

    Wright is the backup and will play limited reps.


    Saying that Wright is the bomb dot com based off of what he did vs SELA is a bit ridiculous.

    I am not for making a change at the moment. Will has earned the right to be the starter. However, let's not forget how bad he and the offense were against Ole Miss and Illinois. When someone's play is substandard against LSU or Alabama talent, it easy to give them a break, not so when it is Ole Miss and Illinois.

Notice he benched furdge in second half and went with Decarlos because Furdge blew some coverages and gave up td pass.
    Purvis for Page too

    A change is only made if the offense is losing a game and Mike comes in and takes charger and starts putting points on the board. Could happen Saturday or may never happen

    If Will is off target and ineffective again in the first half Saturday, he could and should be benched.

    There's no reason for a 3-year starter to look that bad

    He was 14 for 20 (70%) for 175 yards and 1 TD in the first half Sat. He was not his sharpest but there is not a coach in the country pulling a starting QB on pace for 350 yards passing and 0 INT's after that first half. That's a moronic take.

    Do you even read before posting? I've said on numerous occasions that Will is our starting QB. I've also said Wright will be used alot as well, especially depending on matchups.

    Please tell me where I said "Wright is the bomb dot com". I said Wright is too explosive to keep off the field, obviously the coaches see the same thing

    Youre right. I forgot about that one. Page kept jumping inside and not setting the edge and was pretty much responsible for them getting the yards outside they were getting in the first half. That changed with Purvis replacing him.

    Ever since the Georgia game I have been saying Pervis deserves to be out there he is to good. I hope he turned whatever corner he needed to mentally to get on the field.

    He wasn't really off target in general. Not enough to warrant benching him for sure. He just wasn't asked to attack downfield enough. I don't believe that was totally his fault in this case.

    We played a lot of players and didn't even remotely open the playbook. Will had about 4 bad throws/reads total. This is a stupid topic.

    Retweet!

    If he sucks this week then yeah we might be able to broach this subject again. You guys just hate him to hate him. Is it warranted on a skill level? Sometimes, but let’s see what he does in a new system against real opponents before we burn him at the stake.

    Good point. Matt Wyatt in his analysis was talking about how many freshmen we played on defense to get them reps in the fourth and we were still getting three and outs on SELA's offense.

    It's like insantiy has set in. It's as bad as saying he won't take shots down field because he cant... and we all know that's not true.

    I can’t wait to see how awful he plays in the egg bowl.

    His best egg bowl was as a true Freshman. He’s gotten progressively worse in that game each year.

    He played like crap last Egg Bowl, doesn't have a thing to do with your horrible take about Sat. Or the fact you are trying steer the topic away from that take earlier.

    Will is the QB until he shows he isnt. I'm hoping he gets adjusted soon to the new offense
    Walk like the King or walk like you don't care who the King is

A new HC and OC had no choice but to start Rogers regardless of the performance of the QB's in camp. There was no way they could replace Rogers in the beginning. It would be a PR nightmare for them.

    I'm in no way saying a change needs to be made or will be made. However, if the offense struggles- then you can bet they will want to put the guy in there that can run the ball and force the defense to account for him also in the run game.
    Ok. Man free 2 off the edge to the RB side your zone read is dead. Power read? Same deal. Man free backside ILB blitz to the rb side you cant block 3 with 2. Throw it and beat me Mike Wright vs man free. Good luck.
