I like the kid and want him to succeed. I've tried to find any info on how he is doing in spring practice, but there's very little information about their practices. Anyone seen anything about how he is doing? Their spring game is Friday.
If you watched any Wisconsin games, Locke was really good for a freshman. Locke or Parson would have been amongst the best air raid qbs Leach had.For Will to win big games, he needs an elite OL. During Leach's last two years there were vast differences in outcomes depending on whether we were playing an above avg-elite SEC defense vs a below avg one. When he had time he was awesome with accuracy, timing patterns, throwing darts into coverage and TD/INT ratio.
But I've never seen a QB so physically inept when the pocket collapses fast. No ability to extend plays when things break down. Like I said a few years back with a different username: *watching Will get sacked resembled a pack of lions pouncing on an injured baby wildabeast ".
Combine that with an acute case of fumbleitus and you've got something looking like a calf liver flopping to the ground instead of a football.
I hope he succeeds- I don’t think anyone on here or associated with MSU wants him to fail.I like the kid and want him to succeed.

I'm interested in how he does in the spring game. Hopefully he preforms well. He was put into a bad situation when Leach died, but did the best he could, kept a good attitude and never trashed anyone with the program, in spite of the students booing him during a few games and chanting, "we want Mike."Three day old depth chart, shows him as #1.

Here's a pretty good break down of UW's new offense:I hope he succeeds- I don’t think anyone on here or associated with MSU wants him to fail.
That being said, I’d be surprised if he has a good season. If he starts more than half the year, it would be a huge success.
Without 3 NFL WRs, a strong-armed QB who was experienced in the offense, and one of the best pass protecting offensive lines in the country, emphasizing quick ball distribution might be necessary. The key will be to make sure that we can still punish defenses when they sell out on the run and screen games.
Presumptive starter Will Rogers isn’t known for his mobility, at least compared to Fisch and Carroll’s last two QBs (de Laura and Fifita), so I’d expect to see more 6 or 7-man protections with play action rather than the bootlegs. That being said, it appears that mobility and off-script play making is a key factor in this staff’s roster building strategy (incoming freshman QB Demond Williams is a true dual-threat athlete at QB), so the 2024 version of this offense might look different than what we’ve seen in Arizona and what we may see in 2025 and beyond. A dual-threat, or even just a mobile QB, can take a huge amount of pressure off the OL when channeled correctly within the structure of an offense, and many of Arizona’s biggest explosive plays this past season were off of play designs and off-script plays that featured Fifita buying himself time with his legs before launching the ball downfield.
Basically, UW fans need to realize Rogers is one-year band aid until they can the type of players Jed Fisch really wants.While we may be shift away from a vertical, drop back-heavy, pass-first offense towards a more balanced run, screen, and RPO heavy offense, the change in style may prove to be a better fit for next year’s roster that features a rebuilding OL, a plethora of athletically gifted WRs, and a quick trigger QB at the helm.
Yeah and he’s a band-aid at best. I’d be surprised if he’s the starter at the end of the season. Washington’s schedule is not a cakewalk this year.Here's a pretty good break down of UW's new offense:

You would be wrong in that assumption (not referring to myself)I hope he succeeds- I don’t think anyone on here or associated with MSU wants him to fail.

That o-line is pretty young. Hope they are talented.Three day old depth chart, shows him as #1.

I hope that Will has a great year. I never understood the Will hate. I’m not saying he was the best qb but the personal hate I don’t get. He played to best of his ability. I was always proud of how he represented MSU. He was a good fit for Leach’s offense. He wasn’t a good fit for Barbay’s offense but who was.
The issue was never Will. The issue was for 4 years our recruiting was so inept we couldn’t put a more talented QB on the field.The haters just never seemed to understand that despite his limitations, he was always our best option at QB. Well, they understood when we put a backup in, but they forgot it quickly after.
Will Rogers can’t run an NFL offenseHe has a really good Head Coach who coaches like it's the NFL. He's in good hands.
"Our Lads" depth charts are worthless. No input whatsoever from insiders, coaches, etc.Three day old depth chart, shows him as #1.

Makes you wonder what Houston saw to immediately beg him to be their OC.He wasn’t a good fit for Barbay’s offense but who was.
You are absolutely correct. There were some on here hoping he failed at State so they could say, " See, I told y'all so."You would be wrong in that assumption (not referring to myself)
Houston ain’t exactly the big time like SEC football is. But if he doesn’t produce a lot better than he did last fall, he’ll be looking for a job again in December.Makes you wonder what Houston saw to immediately beg him to be their OC.
Gary ErvinI don't think I have heard former player spoken about this much.
Bueller? Anyone? Anyone?
