If recency bias exists for NFL teams then this is about as good of a shot at making a roster as Sky was going to get.

I just want him to go to a camp and make friends at this point and then comeback and be a badass coach for someone.

Wacks, you are really close to doing the ultimate BBS touchdown dance in all of our faces. I really really hope you get the chance to. :cheers:

He looked like a legit NFL roster level quarterback last night. The throw velocity/accuracy as well as running looked to be fully back from all of the injuries for the first time in months.

The talking heads last night said he most likely will be drafted late round
Edit:  I mentioned before that the NFL scouts ranked him as the #8 QB for the draft.

I could definitely imagine scouts seeing a higher ceiling than he showed in college if he stays healthy and is given a solid offensive game plan.

Team Sky
Doing some archaeology to see who the posters are that should get props for being early on the Skylar Thompson bandwagon.


Catastrophe should get some recognition for starting the sky is the limit thread

This would be severely disappointing news.  I've been Sky high since the spring game.

Since we have no chance to do anything meaningful this season, I’m on board with this, although I still think Sky has the higher ceiling and should be starting for the same reasons.

This. Thompson has the broader skill set (can run and can make every throw) and a higher ceiling. Now that Ertz is out, not playing Thompson at all makes no sense. And he has been on campus for what, almost two years now? He knows enough to freakin' play.

K-State QBs rushing attempts per game for their careers:

Matt Miller 11.7
Michael Bishop 10.6
Jonathan Beasley 8.1
Ell Roberson 14.7
Collin Klein 16.7
Jake Waters 10.5
Jesse Ertz 14.2

I know that the last 4 multi-year starters all had shoulder injuries of some sort. Dylan Meier did also, though he didn't run it as much.

Honestly, I don't think the opportunities for hits taken have changed much since Ell. The Bishop/Beasley teams were a little more selective with QB runs, but starting with Ell the QB run game became the feature part of the offense leading to the culmination of Collin Klein the battering ram. It tapered a bit with Waters (though he still played hurt) and then Ertz is supposed to be another Klein.
Quality post by fan worth resurrecting IMHO. This thread also makes me sad that Ertz spent most of his career injured, the guy was a stud and I was really excited for 2017 after the 2016 Texas bowl win against Texas A&M

Let's roll with Sky for the final 4 games and prepare for next year. Let the two Alexi transfer and move forward.

It's gonna be weird as a K-State fan watching him moving forward tho. On paper, not a K-State QB, his intangibles don't fit well with a KSU offense. But they did today, so who cares! Cats!

so, say, hypothetically, that sky plays against vandy, texas, and ou, and our coaches let him push it down the field and let our runnings back run. we win all those games, right? just cater to the guy's talents. not that hard. he's got arm talent, he's mobile enough to just make plays. i hope our coaches are now finally forced to call a game for the qb they have and stop trying to force something that they thinks works but doesn't fit the personnel. bc there aren't any more viable qb's to get killed. sky is it. ride or die.
pvegs jumps on. To be honest, it’s hard to determine who is pro sky and who is anti-Snyder battering ram offensive  play calling. And what the eff is a pvegs?

Sky, a redshirt freshman, while at the opening drive in the 2nd half, did look like it.  At the end of the game (when not crippled by awful play calling), he looked like a seasoned 5th year SR.

I think it's obvious that it's time to give the reigns to Sky.

Starting anyone but Sky moving forward should be a fireable offense.
