BREAKING: Will Rogers to Washington

I for one, hate to see it, but I do not blame him.
I hope he throws for 5k yards.
Good luck to Will. I hope he crushes it and proves a lot of people wrong.
Washington over a handful of other significant offers. Good luck.
Best of luck to him. Hopefully he got a huge NIL deal. He gave his all to us and never complained publicly that I'm award of.
Good luck to him. I don't see time being any where close to pennix but pennix got a lot better going there. He's going to have to improve to keep them in playoff contention next year in big 10
From a total MSU perspective, I hope he doesn't do much. We don't need another transfer out doing well.
They run air raid and only gave up 3 sacks over their first 8 games. maybe he fits.
BS! He gave us what he had, and that is all that can be asked of a player.
Appreciative of his effort and leadership while he was here. I know related family and they're good people. Happy for him.
Comments like these (and they are plentiful on social media) is why I scratch my head whenever fans expect the players to be loyal. Our fan base is really bad about this as a whole and it looks bad, especially to incoming recruits.
I have a hard time blaming players like Will especially that are **** on by our fans all the time.
Well, he left us so I don't think I owe him any loyalty. Had he stayed it would be different. My loyalty is to MSU, not to players who jump ship. We do NOT need a parade of players being successful after leaving here.
So Washington might have a backfield of Will , Marks and DJ ? Lol, someone out there is a big fan of Miss State
He may have been more loyal if people didn’t rail on him for three years. Maybe players leaving and being successful will show us to stop doing that as much as we do— doubtful, but one can hope.
This is a new age. They’re a lot more likely not to stay anymore, but we make it easy for them to make the decision. And it looks bad to recruits.
Breaking: I DGAS. He no longer plays for us. I don't care where he goes, or how he does.
I think he’ll do great, and I hope he does. Zavion, on the other hand, can go 17 himself
Good luck to Will and 17 all the haters.
Will took more criticism from our fans than any other player I can remember. It’s unbelievable that a player of his stature got schitt on by so many people. His national reputation is better than his reputation with State fans. It’s crazy and I don’t understand it.
He’s already proved people wrong.

But it doesn’t hurt to wish that good people do good things for themselves. I hope does well and we win 10 games without him.
But this can't be true. Our message board football gurus said he would have to go to USM or Western Kentucky cause he couldn't play big boy ball. Yet here he is going to a CFP team. Will proves y'all wrong again. Gonna look kinda bad on State if he goes out there and balls out.
Good for will. What a great life experience it will be for him. I hope he flourishes.
He took criticism because he really wasn’t all that great.
He was a system QB in a gimmicky offense, without a strong arm or mobility.
Good luck to Washington. They will not be in PAC 12 again. He's not a P5 QB.
Because we have uneducated fans that repeat what a critical talking head said on ESPN. They love to repeat the buzz words, "dink and dunk", "system QB", "gimmick QB", etc. They think by doing so it makes them look like football gurus when in reality they are just regurgitating what they heard. Will was a great QB and took us to 3 bowl games while a Bulldog. He took what SEC defenses would give us without turning the ball over. We had the biggest come back victory in our history with him at QB. It is sad he had horrendous coaching his final year at State.
Godspeed Will Rogers, make us proud!
Hope the insurance sales business is booming out that way
I watched a lot of Washington football this year. They threw a ton of intermediate to deep passes outside the numbers. Penix has a good arm and can throw those 35-50 air yard passes on a line. He's also really mobile in the pocket and creates big passing plays with his legs.
Will unfortunately cannot do that. I'm guessing Deboer will play to Will's strengths and tweak the offense to incorporate more short to intermediate stuff that takes advantage of Will's timing, accuracy, and anticipation. If he does it successfully, it will be another needle in the eye of hiring Barbay who was supposed to mold an offense around Will and failed miserably.
ETA. Here's Penix highlights from this year... Much like when @mcdawg22 needs to carry a 230 yard water hazard in the fairway, I don't think Will has a club in his bag to make a lot of these throws and scrambles.

You should write a letter to Kalen DeBoer and tell him that. He apparently needs your guidance.
It will be interesting to see how they adjust for Rogers. You are right....Will can't make a lot of the plays in the video.
