Avery seems to have incredible vision and makes the right cuts, in addition to being fast. He also looks pretty sturdy, to me, but that doesn't mean much since I'm kinda thinking of him in relation to our string Bean. Put me in the camp that wants to see him throw more. I need to find out just how concerned I should be.

From his HS highlight videos, he's even better than his running ability.  He was ranked high in the Elite 11 last year based on his passing skills.
Hot time in Kat town tonight.

So he’s starting against TCU, right?

I suspect the statements in public will be vague enough that it sounds like Will might be starting to keep TCU having to prep for both but yeah, he should be the guy going forward.  No disrespect to Will but Avery has way more upside and it certainly seems like time for him to see the field as the starter.

A way to make it less awkward for all is if something could be worked out that allows will to go to the nfl right now. :dunno:

Will starts, Avery comes in after the first drive that K-State doesn't score.

Hell, if our devoted fans on this board don't think he's good enough to start, what makes you think he's NFL material?

Everyone was talking about it.

Everyone is talking like Will is definitely gone after this season. Is he on any mock drafts? I can't see him transferring.

NFL fans and even coaches always get boners for a guy’s physical features. Tall guys who have some decent mobility and decent arm will get overvalued by the NFL. Maybe someday that will change. I doubt it will in my lifetime.

He has a top 15 passer rating in the country*, in limited opportunities. If anything, he hasn't thrown enough.

Our WR's can't get open, but they do when he's on the field.

Woke up today grinning thinking about how sweet it is that AJ is our QB for the next couple/few years. It really is quite something.

There really isn’t much to compare it to as a KSU fan. We’ve never experienced this before.
If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

I just hope he’s durable. The only way our offense can be effective at such a high clip is if he runs the ball and inevitably he’s going to take some hits. (I have no reason to doubt his durability I’m just saying)

Now imagine him doing it for the next two or three seasons after this one.

We’re likely to average 10+ wins a season with AJ at the helm. The glory days are upon us!

Welp, we've got a Will OR AJ on the TCU depth chart.

I think most K-State media think that Will is going to start. Honestly, who gives a eff? If he starts then scores 3 points on the first three drives, he's going right back to the bench anyway, likely for good.

You are probably right, but jeez Louise I would prefer to not get in a hole before we accept the inevitable.

6'2", 188#  If we run AJ a bunch, he's going to take some hits where he may not be able to get off the field on his own.  He'll put on weight, but man, 188 lbs. is a pretty light runner.

If they start Will, they should just run, run, and more run. Next series bring AJ out and pass, pass, and more pass.

Fired up YTTV DVR while WFH (man, it's slow right now) and enjoyed that victory again.
