Parson and Will and an incoming portal guy is our QB room now. Moving forward!
Sawyer out
- Thread starter The Cooterpoot
- Start date
Farewell to the best quarterback we ever had who never played***
Not surprised. Sawyer was 100% a Leach & Air Raid guy.
Too bad it didn't work out here for him.
Too bad it didn't work out here for him.
Locke and Robertson came to MSU primarily because of Leach. They were most likely leaving regardless of who became the OC.
Either that or they aren't willing to wait around to find out.
And they probably know who the transfer in is going to be.
Someone should tell Briles since Parson had an offer from Arkansas and Briles was the lead recruiter.
Like there is a QB that Briles knows well that’s from Mississippi or something****

not panic, I don’t think it will be hard to find some run first qbs in the portal, especially with size. Make no mistake, this is a run heavy offense
Better recheck that. Also not consistent with Parsons dads comments
You have obviously never watched 1 clip of Parson.
We will see, I will be surprised if Parson sticks around. He wants to play in a pass first system. i don’t think he ever visited Arkansas.
i would have liked to seen him stay. i was really hoping he could be "the guy" , but like TXD said , he was only hear for Leach and there isn't anything wrong with that.
I wonder what the odds are its this guy? He signed with Utah out of high school, and was recruited by Briles at Arkansas. That is two connections to the staff this board has put together....
IKR. Imagine how many more downs we could have sacrificed if we had just played the worse QB.
Or maybe there was a good reason he didn't. I strongly suspect the latter.
Again, he signed the dotted line not knowing a thing about what the offense would be like in 2023. He could have signed elsewhere, or he could have at least waited until the February period to see how things shook out with our offense, and no one would have faulted him a bit. But he chose to go ahead and come. That’s a guy who is committed to MSU and not any particular coach or system.
Maybe he could have thrown two interceptions against ETSU instead of just one.
I think he had a pretty good idea who the new OC was going to be when he signed. If not knew for a fact.
Wait, are you implying that CML knew more about QB evaluation and prep than SPS posters?
I don’t think Sawyer lacks talent based on one series or that Leach can’t evaluate a qb, the fact is Briles is bringing in a run heavy RPO offense and those guys don’t fit and realize that.
I think Parson came to play for Leach and the air raid as much as Locke and Robertson. It’s not all bad. A lot of the fanbase wants a running offense and there are good running q bs in the portal.
just a transition period is Going to be needed. I think you have to retool the o line , all of the young o lineman were recruited as pass blockers. I expect some of the receivers to hit the portal as well. Briles throws the ball but uses much less receivers in the rotation.
With the exception of needing a mobile quarterback if you are running an offense that requires the quarterback read the defense and to run the ball if that is the best play, I don't buy the whole "transition period". At the end of the day its just going to come down to talent and the quality of the coaching.
Briles is not quite as stuck on running QBs as you guys make it out to be. He is capable of adjusting to what strengths his players have. He is not Dan Mullen.
Moose and Greek did too. All 4 Texas QBs came on the heals of the Dak Prescott era hoping to be the next Dak and thought Leach would get them there. Well, hope Will comes back next year. Otherwise, we're breaking in a QB with ZERO experience.
