Let's try this guy at QB
- Thread starter Tractorman
- Start date
How bad do his non-highlight throws look?
None of those throws were "wow" throws, but obviously they were fine and if he isn't just horrible on his non-highlight throws, that seems like somebody we could use.
We should try and find somebody like him in the portal.**
His throwing motion is weird as hell
His mechanics are terrible but I hope our coaches aren't making decisions based on that alone. Wright is a playmaker and he has other playmakers - better playmakers - in this offense than he had there. We should give him more of a look. At least he's showing a propensity in those highlights to go through progressions instead of locking on one guy, and of course, his ability to make a play with his feet when the play breaks down is something we just don't have with the other guy in there.
He looks a lot like a guy who played QB for us under Croom - Omarr Conner.
Good comp that staff misused him too. I often think of how good he could have been with Mullen
In some cases he was passing against no Defense at all.
Lobber like passing.
He can run, have not seen him pass against the tight coverage we go against.

Yea and no. His ability to run is going to mess with coverage. Guys will be more open when you got a guy who can burn you if you are in tight coverage. Better comp would be Kentucky probably.In some cases he was passing against no Defense at all.

I think we should let him run the offense the first two offensive series of the game. Will, historically, is a slow starter. It would also make the coaches look good after all the, "It is a new season and every position is open until someone earns it" talk preseason.
I'm all for playing him more. Let him pass. Like somebody said you roll him out he can choose pass or run. If coverage is tight he should be able to get at least 5 or 6 yards. That's not bad at all. Keep getting first downs you score eventually. When they try to stop him he can throw. Sometimes you throw interceptions. That's just part of being aggressive
If Chris Relf can develop into an effective QB, so can this guy. Ralph was nearlyhitting the Porta Crappers on the sidelines when he first showed up. It's about how you use these more athletic guys in the college world than it is about pure passing ability. I'd love to see the guy get a shot with a decent plan behind him.
Tebow had a terrible throwing motion is all in saying. Not saying they are comparable players at all.
Yeah I've always noticed it takes will a few series or quarters to get the pattern and timings down. Even with leach
We were aggressive against Bama this past weekend.
The game wasn’t nearly as bad as the score.
Not saying it was good but it wasn’t as bad as the score.
Play conservative? Probably closer but fans b1tch.
Chris Relf had arguably one of the best qb coaches in the last 30 years.
I wouldn’t hate that if it came to it
But the same people losing their mind right now lost their mind under Mullen.

I've watched this video twice now. Many of those passes were under 10 yards. Many wouldn't fly against average SEC defenses let alone good ones.
Zach Arnett is 37 years old and makes $3 million a year. You think he is gonna jeopardize that by purposefully playing a worse qb while a better one is on the side line?
That about it in a nutshell I’m afraid. From what I’ve heard Leach sent Peterson packing. I wonder who hired this guy back ?
If Wright is throwing interceptions at practice against our defense there is no way I'm going to let him throw the ball against another team!
Right.
Do you know how many people on here wanted Brad Peterson as an on field coach?
Fans are dumb and none of them ever agree.
They also have short memory.
You know leach would be playing will rogers right?
You know a ton of fans wanted him (Brad) back right?

I don't know and I don't care. Peterson was a great high school coach and should be an asset on on the recruiting side and relationship side.
It's fairly obvious he's doing way more than that.
How is it obvious? give me specific details of how brad peterson is pulling the puppet master strings for Zach Arnett.
QB2 is always wanted by the much of the fanbase when the offense or team is struggling. Then, when he gets his opportunity, the #3 QB becomes popular.
Per what's being said else where, he's throwing INTs at practice to this defense. THIS defense.
Ain’t that the truth! Our coaches have seen him a little more than we have. We don’t need to see what a 5th string 5-8, 145 RB can do to know if he’s better than Marks. If the coaches havent seen enough in practices from him I’m good with that. I agree, if he didn’t show enough in practices against our defense, then I’m good with him sitting. Give him a series or two to change things up is good with me, unless Will is hot at the time. Use him in Red Zbone to add to our running game I’m good with also. But just chunking him out there to start over our 4th year starter, because the fans think he’s better than Will is completely asinine!!
hes thrown 7 tds and 4 interceptions. If mike wright can match that production and interception ratio, sure we should play him.
All things equal he has wheels.
I'm guessing they don't think he can match that production.
I personally wouldn't hate seeing him for 2 or 3 series and throwing the ball some to see what happens, but i highly doubt they aren't playing him bc "they like will more personally".
Just give the guy a series for pete's sake so we can either say "told you so" or we can shut up.
This is making the assumption that because coaches have more information, that they always make the correct decision.
If your answer to every football question is "Well, coach knows more than we do - it must be the right call" then maybe a message board isn't the place for you?
I think you misinterpreted. I think he is saying Arnett is not playing him because he's concerned about his future. Not that Arnett know more than you do.
