Fisch is a moron. Water is wet
I suspect in this case he knew what he needed to do but didn't have the cajones to pull the trigger
DRFS dealing in hypotheticals?
The
Cajones Formation
is a Turonian geologic formation of central Bolivia. The fluvialsandstones in Amboró National Park preserve fossils of
Yacarerani boliviensis
.

The formation is correlated with the Adamantina Formation of the Paraná Basin in Brazil and the Bajo de la Carpa Formation of the Neuquén Basinin Patagonia, Argentina.

Is this an attempt to get me back for my dumb STD joke the other day?
Playing Will "I can make 1 read and throw in an air raid or I should just be shooting rats in Mississippi" Rogers for an obligatory 11 games was a massive red flag.
He was scared and afraid of the turnovers and knew he would at least have this limp dick result with an experienced QB.
Or maybe Fisch knew the oline was an abortion and wanted to get his true freshman acclimated and not turned into Sam Huard? Christ
If that was his thinking then I don't like it.
Demond was clearly better the second he stepped foot on poop Island.
Was he?
Demond took off and ran in one of the first games of the season, got nailed, and fumbled.
Rogers led UW to 4-2 with a victory of top #10 natty revenge Michigan. This place was feeling pretty optimistic.
Should he have been benched then? After the Rutgers game? Iowa?
I am fine with how Demond was only used when Rogers was completely cooked, mostly due to the o-line. Maybe UW makes the Holiday bowl instead of the Sun Bowl with Demond, whoop de doo.
Washington was awfully young with an INSANE schedule blah blah doog doog doog. But next year, they aren't. And they better be much fucking better or Fisch can go be the QB coach at Texas or some shit.
Demond probably should have started at Indiana
Not defending Fisch again I see
So you were willing to lose more games instead of using our best player(s)
You going to act like freshman shouldn't get acclimated with a bad line?
I think the argument is that QBs in particular that play behind a garbage OL early in their careers develop bad habits that extend beyond that habit forming season. If Demond is constantly running for his life with no pocket protection, does he develop a short internal clock that prevents him from being successful in future years when the rest of the team is better. At that point you could win more games in a meaningless 2024 by sacrificing wins in 2025 and 2026 seasons that matter more.
Rogers wasn't a stellar QB to start with, but it seems like he definitely deteriorated over the season due to knowing that he didn't have much protection. If Demond spent 13 games going through that instead of 2.5 (1.5 of that being against UCLA and Louisville's JV team), does the same thing end up happening to him?
Top 10 Michigan?
Stop.
You play to win the game
Except at Washington during exhibition seasons
Adding to this that Demond's worst habit is behaving like a running back when he scrambles. In very limited play this year, he's taken some big shots. There's no guarantee he would've made it through the 2024 season if he had 13 games of that behavior. If I'm Fisch, I'd want an offseason to coach that out of him and get him to learn to avoid contact better.
You play to win games, plural. If the cost of winning a single game has a high probability of losing you more games down the road, then on net that isn't a winning transaction and head coaches should be expected to think longer term than the four quarters of a given game.
20 new starters has a way of fucking things up
Michigan was #10 and Washington beat them.
They ended up ranked and top 25.
And?
Playing a loser like rogers fucked things up
Excuses excuses. At least use the right one
No it was 7D chess to not use the best QB and get him reps and experience because retard coach couldn't get an O line to do anything with
Rogers was such a loser Saint DeBoer wanted him
Maybe 5 new starters on an oline isn't ideal, without the winter transfer window...
Nah let's circle jerk
I don't recall DeBoer coaching here last year. I do recall Fisch convincing Rogers back out of the portal
And I definitely recall Rogers sucking like the loser he was when a far better alternative existed. You could tell in early games that the squad responded better to Williams.
O line is going to suck again this year. If only we could get guys that didn't suck somehow
OK. You don't like Rogers playing, but what is the practical benefit of playing Demond this year? UW lost 6 regular season games.
Let's assume Demond doesn't get hurt from being reckless when scrambling and that every game Rogers won Demond also wins. What other games does UW win with Demond? Rutgers and Wazzu? That doesn't get UW to the playoff; is there some other significant benefit that warrants the downside risk of playing him too early?
JFC
Fair enough. I hadn't thought about it that way. You're right and I take back what I said.
You can have him back
No problem on this end
You're becoming unbearable. I don't disagree with some of your thoughts but back up what you're saying with words cause you sound like a child when you hit the "JFC" or "dawgman poster" to every counter point you read
