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.
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.
That sumbitch might just make it.
Team Sky
This would be severely disappointing news. I've been Sky high since the spring game.

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 11.7Michael Bishop 10.6Jonathan Beasley 8.1Ell Roberson 14.7Collin Klein 16.7Jake Waters 10.5Jesse Ertz 14.2I 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.
Let's roll with Sky for the final 4 games and prepare for next year. Let the two Alexi transfer and move forward.
Sky is totally The Guy

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!

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.
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.
