He isn't an air raid quarterback but a coach somewhere is going to figure out how to use Malik Hornsby from Arkansas. Leach said this after the Arkansas game.... "I think (Hornsby's) really good, kind of a stud," Mississippi State head coach Mike Leach said. "Well he's really fast, a guy that can get all of it if you don't keep a lid on him, and then he keeps it alive long enough that your coverage breaks down. Maybe not perfectly accurate, but he can throw it forever, so I thought that guy played really well."

I would take Hornsby. Leach can coach him up, and Hornsby athleticism would give us an entirely different dimension. I would take him right now if he was interested.

Passing ability just isn’t there.

We don't need an Air Raid QB. Or current Air Raid QB is hot garbage and cost us two wins this year. Leach needs to adapt to the reality of modern football if he doesn't retire. And that reality is that mobile QBs are here to stay. If you don't have one playing, you're screwed unless you have ridiculous talent on the OL like UGA. All of Leach's proteges have adapted to using a mobile QB (among other adjustments). Time for Leach to do the same or retire. Watching a noodle armed statue throw flares to the RBs as his primary read makes me want to scoop out my eyes with a rusty spoon.
It's the roller coaster of hope that this program keeps us on that makes it hell being a State fan. - CadaverDawg, 10/15/22

Leach has had several mobile QBs on his resume as a head coach. Sawyer is a mobile QB and so is Chris Parson, who will be enrolled in January.
Will is probably the least mobile QB Leach has ever had. And the kid stares down open receivers while dumping the ball off to the RB. That's the shit the pisses me off.

Why do people say that Sawyer is a mobile QB? Based on what?
I figured that people would be moving past the backup QB love that Sawyer has been getting after he got a few reps and people saw what that was actually like, but it looks like people aren't convinced.
Make no mistake, Sawyer will never be the QB here as long as Will Rogers is on the roster. So please stop wasting keystrokes and let it go.

I was responding about mobile QBs. And yes, compared to Will, Sawyer is more mobile. I don't give a shit if he starts or not, that wasn't the point, but he can move better than Will. Hell, a ****ing oak tree can move better than Will.

Can an oak tree run backwards under pressure? ***

He looked pretty quick on his one rush against ETSU. Not saying he's Nick Fitzgerald but he has some wheels.

He entered the portal last offseason but the only interest he had was from Marshall so he decided to come back. I think he could be a G5/FCS QB but if he wants to stay in P5 probably needs to swallow his pride and become a full-time WR.
