to not sign a transfer like Jack Sears? I believe Rocky said that he would evaluate Baker in the BYU game, and see if he could handle the pressure and see how he did in a game situation. When I heard that, I thought that it wasn't enough of a sample size to make a big decision like that.
Having said that, I was very impressed with Baker in a game situation, especially against a good team like BYU and it being his first start, but I would still bring in a Jack Sears for sure, if that was an option.

Plus Baker is only going to be a Sophomore next year, so if Sears comes in for 2 years and then graduates that would still put Baker in position to start for his senior season if he stayed as the #2

I heard Rocky interviewed Monday following the game. He was asked if there was now a QB controversy at State and whom he'd start in the bowl game.
He didn't hesitate, saying, "No. And Agnew's our starter for the next game."
So not sure he's sold yet on Baker.

I, too, was very impressed with Baker.....I, also believe Carson would've seen some series early in the season had the staff known he'd play so favorably.... I know nothing of Sears ability.....I like what I saw of Baker....Hard to know what Rocky thinks?  ?? My guess is Baker will see PT in the bowl game..... |

He may very well be sold on Baker, but Agnew is your starter with 8 wins this year, a senior, and deserves to start the bowl game if healthy. |

I heard Rocky still wants to bring in transfers in the offseason, to keep up the competition at the QB position. Nobody's starting job is safe, you're earning it week to week.

RL is loyal and Agnew is a Senior so we knew, at least in my opinion, he was going to start the bowl game. |

Carson looked good, I think he can be a really good starting QB given the right scheme and coaching...
Still, I would sign Sears in a heartbeat...

bigger Q does Sears want to come to SDSU with our style of offense and coaches - would guess he wants to go to a school where the QB is the focal point - would our coaches be able to tell him that

I thought it was an odd thing for Rocky to say, and I can't remember verbatim the wording, that he would evaluate the QB's versus BYU and make a determination whether or not to sign on a transfer QB. That's a small sample size and even though Baker looked promising, you still bring in the competition. You may find someone better than Baker and competition is very healthy. |

He may very well be sold on Baker, but Agnew is your starter with 8 wins this year, a senior, and deserves to start the bowl game if healthy. Most coaches take the position that a player doesn't lose his starting status just because he's been out due to an injury. Even Faulk didn't get the start in the game after his record setting debut. He did play a lot and became the starter after that.
A senior starter with a great win/loss record deserves the start. Rocky might be quicker in pulling Agnew if he's shaky because of Bakers performance against BYU.

bigger Q does Sears want to come to SDSU with our style of offense and coaches - would guess he wants to go to a school where the QB is the focal point - would our coaches be able to tell him that Oregon State is recruiting him too The adv is they have Jonathan Smith ensuring his O does do that. I'd easily take Smith over Horton. That disadvantage is you get your rear ends kicked every week being the Beavers. |

If Agnew can play then Rocky would start him regardless of what he thought about Baker. It's Agnew's last game after a good career. That's what Rocky does and other coaches as well. TC Wright was not replaced by Faulk until Wright was injured. |

Hey, this is a GREAT problem to have, kid played well enough to win, think of it, we could be $C today and on suicide watch after their news on Helton... |

If Sears is interested in coming to SDSU then you sign him even if Baker looks like Tom Brady. Sears has talent and a team always needs depth. |

Yes, I think Rocky starts Agnew, if he's healthy enough, in a bowl game atmosphere even if Baker threw for 300 yards. Rightfully so. Agnew has been a warrior. |

we can want Sears but does he want to come to SDSU with the style of football Rocky wants to play . Are we honestly looking to be a QB focal point offense or basically RB U - If Rocky does not realistically want an offense where the QB is the focal point then makes little sense for Sears to come here . Would Rocky be willing to say he will run an offense that way - did not say promise him a starter position but style of offense we are going to be .
