I don't think anyone with common sense thinks you guys are going to be scrubs. There will be a decent drop off in offensive performance though.


You say this why? We were a top 10 offense before Manziel was here.

So you just choose to be a bad poster because tRant has hurt your feelings?

I really don't understand that logic, but whatever floats your boat. I've always liked ya.

Exactly. We obviously deserve to be at the bottom of the west for having the most overpaid coach in football history.

because when you lose three offensive players at three key positions for your offense a dropoff is to be expected. for any team.

ETA: meant to say first round NFL talent, etc.

We are doing what Aggies do: owning it.

There is a reason we tell more Aggie jokes than anyone....

Different coach. Different system. I think Sumlin is a great coach but unless Kyle Allen is absolutely amazing, A&M won't see close to the same production. That's not to say you won't be a top 3-4 offense in the league.

Not when 2 of 3 of those replacements are as good as and better as those whom they replace.

You have no idea how our QB is going to perform, and people lose key players all the time. If you actually did any research about the upcoming offense for A&M, you'd see this.

4 returning starters on the OL who will all be playing in the NFL. More talent at the WR position than has ever been at A&M. 3 proven running backs returning. We don't even need elite QB play to be really good (top 30). Sumlin has had a top 15 offense EVERY year he has been a head coach and i see no reason that changes this year.

literally the only question mark on the offensive side of the ball is going to be the starting QB. that will obviously have its up or downs, but there is no reason we will not be at the bare minimum at top 3 offensive in this conference and top 15 in the country

I wish it was handled better, cas4t.
Would love to talk legit football with fellow SEC fans.
This place has become a shitstorm.

To be fair it is delusional to think your offense won't take a step back. Kids a true freshman in the SEC.

Go check LSU in 08.

No Sumlin's system has been among the top of the nation every year he has a healthy QB.

Let's be honest, it's what this board deserves. The categorical rejection of Sumlin as a quality coach and insistence that A&M will be nothing more than a scrub without Manziel should be met with nothing but sarcasm and dismissal. We've tried to have intelligent discussion in the past about it, the collective of this board refused and so this is what you get.

That's not it at all.

A&M Rivals class rankings (inb4rivalsbullshit):
2010: #17, 0 5*, 9 4*
2011: #27, 0 5*, 3 4*
2012: #15, 1 5*, 6 4*
A&M joins SEC
2013: #11, 0 5*, 15 4*
2014: #6, 3 5*, 10 4*
2015 (so far): #7

That looks like a qualitative jump to me since joining the league. I expect it to continue going forward.

I predict that 5 years after joining the SEC A&M will have similar quality of depth as the top SEC programs. It is at that point that A&M will start re-loading instead of rebuilding.

That and the lack of defense in a relatively defense-oriented league is what is making people doubt A&M for 2014. 2016-17, look out - especially if the Aggies drastically improve their defense.

Oh and frick aggie just because Bert is fat.
