I don't think so. They lost more than just Johnny, they also lost two other guys on offense that were drafted ahead of him. Not to mention what will still be a weak defense.


While what we lost is absolutely true. The impact of that loss is what is replacing them. For example, lets say you had a team that had Peyton Manning and Tom Brady. If one goes down to injury, its not that big of a deal.

QB, WR, and OL are the most talented positions on our roster so those losses wont be felt as much as people think. I know JFF's amazing plays are always on the forefront but its not like every single play he made was impossible. He throws bubble screens and other simple throws that a lot of QBs can make.

In all honesty, I'm not that familiar with A&m's roster. But if the theory requires the team to improve the following year after those losses, then I just don't see players stepping in and being better than those first rounders they lost.

We'll find out soon enough. I will say I was pissed to see Speedy go to a&m and that Texas receiver y'all just got in this upcoming class (name eludes me ATM). Receiving corps looks to be pretty scary for the next few years.
