Interesting post.

Texas A&M: Hill>manziel, but I'm really surprised at the WR being able to perform as well as Evans
This is going to come off as an obnoxious "we told y'all so" post, but it's not meant to, honestly .

We knew that Sumlin had recruited lights-out at those 3 key positions (where we lost guys to the NFL); but no one around here would hear it.
Oh well, 'tis the SECr.

The announcers during our game this week repeated that same theme, multiple times: This team is getting dangerously close to becoming 3-starters-deep, across the board.

There were always horses in the stable to step up and take over--with little or any downgrade--for Manziel, Evans, and Matthews.

Hill is also running the offense more to Sumlin's vision than Johnny did.

Lost a better athlete probably got a better offense for it.

Agreed.

I always doubt whenever I hear how great the "next" player will be, etc.

Especially when replacing a Heisman winner.

I was wrong to undervalue Hill.

Sumlin is the boss of QB U

Nobody doubted there was talent. Everyone knew the players coming in were talented as hell. The reason for the doubts was experience. Experience matters, and will start to matter even more as teams enter the meat of the SEC schedule. Virtually every SEC-W team TAMU will face has serious defensive chops, so it is a legitimate cause for concern.
