Rodgers was great, but it seems clear that UNT was always going to be his stepping stool. Hasn’t posted any thank you to UNT, just his transfer announcement and his highlights. Maybe I’m just reading into it too much, but doesn’t seem like he bought in to UNT

His words at the end of the year and actions since then are contradictory at best.

Perhaps he learned a long time ago when Morris selected Stone over him to begin the season.

Robert Johnson commits to UT-Martin.

He still is great, just trying to work his way back from that achilles injury.

I think I’ll remember Rogers 2023 season pretty fondly. I wish he’d stay for another year to solidify his mean green legacy, but that doesn’t take away how good a season he had for us. I just hope he plays wherever he ends up.

Let’s all tell our grandkids about the magical 5-7 season and the quarterback who didn’t even make honorable mention all conference.

He was great. The 5-7 season came from having the worst defense in FBS.

He failed to leave a legacy here. If he had stayed, won a conference or a bowl game then he would be a program legend.
We will see what happens to him at Cal.

Well he moved to the ACC and will be appropriately compensated. He did a great job for North Texas and I hope he continues his success at Cal.

I count 12 Aggie losses, including a pretty highly touted QB.

I just don't care whether he does or not. I don't blame him for taking the bucketload of cash that is surely coming his way. But his actions plainly say he doesn't care about North Texas any more than he cared about ULM, so I'm not sure why I should care about him.

He is very good and put up great stats. Great players win games.

We're definitely not winning 5 games without him, that's for sure.

I'm reading conflicting information about this.

What's the scoop? Anyone with 100% certainty?

I don't dispute the fact he was a very good quarterback for us. But it seems nowadays the word great gets thrown around quite often.

MeanGreenZen · December 12, 2023

If Cal is so great, why did they get left behind in the PAC-12?
And why did they have to accept a 30% share to join the ACC?
I thought Rogers would land somewhere decent like Miami or Nebraska.
Cal is a broke school too. Can’t imagine they gave him much of an NIL deal.

Miami and Nebraska are landing bigger fish apparently. Have seen reports that those schools are projected some big name QBs. Miami connected to Cam Ward. Nebraska connected to Kyle McCord and even 2024 5 Star QB Dylan Raiola. With so many names in the portal, and big named recruits too, maybe Rogers had to act quick on an opening.

I would think the NIL budget has nothing to do with the school's budget, right?

And he only gets the bag if he commits quickly. Cal's offensive system isn't nearly as QB friendly as ours. Hope the money was worth it. Not like Rogers going to get a shot in the NFL anyway at this point, especially leaving us, a system that highlights his talents. Hope his career aspirations in football go down the GD gutter. Bloesh is a douchebaging moron. He knows how to coach a decent line and that's about it.

Now that he is in the ACC, if he leads Cal to a win (or wins) over SMU many on this board will forgive that indifference and want to put him in our HOF.

Because he was setting the world on fire at ACU, and can go rejoin his brothers in arms and pick up where he left off. Not that tough to understand for someone who has ever played football at any level.

So he is going back to ACU. First time I have heard of a transfer returning to the school he was originally at.

Leaving as a grad transfer is one thing. But if you have eligibility left and you transfer out as an undergraduate you should absolutely never be considered for the Hall of Fame
