No, Chris Bradley didNot disagreeing with your point, but didn’t Bethley start every game at the other DT spot that year?

Indication No. 411 that TCU isn't in JR's future.
He isn’t going to transfer this year. But if Duggan ends up starting, then Rogers is looking at competing for a job where he is the older player but has three fewer years of actual football. If Delton starts all year then I would expect him to at least stay through spring and compete for the start with Baldwin and Duggan.I don't understand the idea that Rogers' injury will cause him to transfer. Will transferring suddenly heal him? If he's not in playing condition here then why would he be in playing condition at a different school? Is the warm climate in Texas holding him back?
I assume feeling sorry for ourselves because Bunce got wrecked.Interesting quote by Patterson re Song, not sure what the feeling sorry for yourself reference was about:
“All of a sudden he made all of them. He’s got 12 games. We’ve got to quit feeling sorry for ourselves and get ready to go. It’s that simple.”

Another thing to consider is that while GP doesn’t think he’s a go ... other coaches (rightly or wrongly) might disagree.
This should help our cause. Sounds serious but hope he recovers.
Obviously wrong, only TCU suffers major injuries

The sound of things lately from GP about him seeing the rush and a few other things tell me it's less about his mobility now and more about him not having played more than 2 snaps of football in 2 years. He was a junior in high school the last time he saw a lot of action.I don't understand the idea that Rogers' injury will cause him to transfer. Will transferring suddenly heal him?

If playing experience after recovering from his injury is his deficit it won't get any better if he plays behind Duggan. I can see him seeking a transfer even to a smaller school just to get in games and get the game to slow down for him again.
I really want him to stay and be successful at TCU, but I would understand if he chose to transfer.
Yeah, I don't think it's all about the injury anymore. He was healthy enough to at least enter a game last year, hard to imagine 9 months later there's been no strength gained or no improvement at all to where he still isn't healthy enough to play. My guess is he just hasn't picked things up all that quickly. I don't know what system he played in in high school but if it was basically "drop back and if the first guy isn't open then take off and run" I could see how reading defenses at this level could be a major struggle.
I don’t know anything about his high school system either, so I won’t throw out negative speculation about it. My guess is that after such a significant injury and rehab there is a significant mental / confidence rehab as well.
Rogers is a redshirt Freshman who hasn’t really played football for about 2 years until those snaps in the Cheez It. Give the kid time before we claim his career is over. For all we know he ends up becoming the starter at some point this season.
Honest question ...... how much did he actually play in HS? Wasn’t there a QB at his school just before him who went to Ok St that we recruited as well?
