Showers is definitely a solid QB. I'm betting he ends up at Baylor.

There is a very good reason Manziel was only given the starting job right before the season started. Showers is the real deal but is a pocket passer. The coaches thought with the speed of SEC defenses that it was smarter to go with a qb that cold run if needed. That is how Manziel won the job. Showers has a much better arm and is smart. He will do great for the team smart enough to sign him.

I wouldnt mind him at LSU to possibly start in 2014 over 2 redshirt freshmen and I have zero faith in Rivers.

if he's black les will make him a running qb

The SEC no longer allows graduate transfers. He is not going to transfer to an SEC school.

Showers has a stronger arm and throws a much prettier pass than Manziel but Manziel is freakishly accurate. There is good reason why Showers was the assumed starter until Johnny exploded. He also is big and can run, though he is a natural pocket passer.

He can't go to another SEC school though without losing eligibility so that defeats the purpose. Besides, he is an ideal fit for any Air Raid team that needs a starting QB. He knows the system and has been coached by Sumlin and Kingsbury. Baylor makes sense as he is from right down the road. Tech makes sense so he can go with Kingsbury. Cal makes sense with Dykes taking over and he can get a really valuable grad degree. He could look at West Virginia or Oklahoma State I suppose.

Cal would be legit.

The Trickydick truth about J Showers. Showers has some stank behind his throws. However his current issues are staring down receivers, over throwing wr's, accuracy with long passes, and bad decsions. All of which are correctable with game time and more snaps. So he's a better deal than most.
