247 reporting that he's decided to transfer. He was #3 or #4 on the Depth Chart right now. He's graduating in May and can transfer just about anywhere. I don't think it's a good move for him, b/c I think he could've competed this year for playing time. Hopefully he finds a team where he can play. Who knows though, he might change his mind and stay, like he did last summer.

I thought he could have competed last year. Real head-scratcher

I'm guessing SOS has been saying one thing to the media after practices then telling him something else... All I have to say is adios, congrats with your mop up TD against Arky a couple of years ago.

Nosovitch was supposed to be a really good QB recruited out of a really good QB producing state..

It baffles me how spurrier has yet to produce that elite QB at SC thus far..

Um you would? Don't get me wrong. Great QB, likeable, playmaker, clutch even (Mizzou '13 comes to mind) but elite? Far from it.

He may not have appeared to be "elite" because he wasn't a gunslinger and didn't put up the most passing yards, but yes I'd say throwing for nearly 2,500 yards for 24 TDs and 1 INT without another 500+ rushing yards and another 5 TDs in his last season as elite. His 18-0 home record + all-time winningest QB would also help him qualify.

All of this.

Its a shame he got overshadowed by Manziel, McCarron, Murray and Mettenberger but Connor Shaw was an elite level QB even if it wasn't in the traditional Spurrier QB role.

I mean if we had Shaw on the field this year then potentially we watch him run for some game clinching first downs instead of watching the Dylan Thompson herp derp marathon

I think connor was elite compared to other qbs we have had but certainly not compared to college football at large.

I think Shaw was elite.

There were 14 College Football QB's drafted in '14. There were about 10 others who signed FA or practice squad deals like Shaw. That's out of hundreds of eligible DI, DII, or DIII QB's.

Shaw was moved to a contract during the season though, up from being a practice squad player.

Of those 24 QB's who were drafted or came into the league as a FA or practice squad, only 6 got a Reg Season start:
Bortles,
Bridgewater,
Manziel,
Carr,
Shaw,
Mettenberger,

3 were SEC QB's (Shaw, Manziel, Mettenberger)
Some notable names who did not get starts were: Logan Thomas, AJ McCarron, Aaron Murray, and Tahj Boyd.

So I think it's fair to say that Connor Shaw is elite, b/c he did what only 5 other QB's did (start an NFL game his rookie year) out of the hundreds of other QB's that had that chance. I am NOT saying Shaw is an elite NFL QB, what I am saying is that he was an elite college QB, based on his stats (including only 1 interception his Sr year) and the fact that he got to start in an NFL game the following year when hardly any other QB got that honor. Furthermore, he wasn't drafted, but went from Practice Squad player to signed roster player, and he's in the mix to start this upcoming season. Also, just look at his stats and winning %. He was elite when you compare him nationally on the college level.

When i think of "elite" i think of being one of the 2-3 best players at your position in college football. Thats just me, it is a vague description.

That's generally how I think of it as well. He was amazing, and all of the info given just in this thread is a testament to that. But 'elite' to me is something ridiculously special that few have attained.

Each of those players had different circumstances. You can't compare who got starting time when some players were backing up Elite NFL QBs and others weren't. That's makes no sense.

I think Shaw was a great QB, but not what I would consider Elite. I think Elite should be reserved for the very best at their position. Cam Newton, Tim Tebow, Peyton Manning come to mind when I think of Elite College QBs. With that being said, Shaw was one of my favorites. Kid had guts and a strong desire to win. There was never any doubt he left everything he had on the field, and it was fun to watch him play.

The word elite can be very subjective. In football recruiting they have the Elite11 for the top QB's out of HS. I think that what Shaw did and where he did it in college makes him elite. Also what he did to get to the point to be an NFL starter is elite as well, there are hundreds of college or semipro QB's trying to play a game on the NFL, let alone get to a NFL contract. He did what only 6 guys out of hundreds tried for this past year.
