re: Honestly, does A&M have a QB to make a run?

I don't see Jimbo winning squat unless he gets a Johnny Manzeil type fluke of talent. As far as elite QB goes they are an SEC team in Texas. No excuses. There should already be at least one on their roster. Proves Jimbo is incompetent.

Had we had a QB this last year we probably would have made the playoffs.

Is QB important? Georgia won it all without one.

QB is important. Bennet was third in YPA and didn’t turn the ball over often. You don’t need a heisman winning QB to win it, but you still need quality QB play.

we also had one of the best defenses CFB has seen in the last few decades. As someone else said earlier, if you don't have an elite stud QB you better be elite at pretty much everywhere else. A&M clearly and 100% does not have a bryce/tua/lawrence/burrow/watson level QB, which means you probably better have the best defense you've ever fielded in school history. Will you have that this season?

I agree with all of this. Without elite QB play,
It will be tough. A&M isn’t quite as well rounded as UGA based on the recruiting rankings, but is getting pretty close. The 3 recruiting classes prior to this class have been decent.

However, Weigman is thought to be elite. His HS tape looks like he carried an average team on his shoulders.

You have no way of knowing if that Weigman kid will pan out any better than you know the winning lotto numbers

The chance of a 5* QB being good is a lot higher than winning the lottery.

You sir are very dumb

Well I can watch him throw a frozen rope on a 15 yard out from the opposite hash, then make an exceptional touch throw on the same drive. I can see that he has the size. I can see that he has the mobility. I saw that he was the best QB in the UA All-American Game playing against the best recruits in the country. You don’t have to be a genius to see he has Heisman potential.

Do you think if Ohio State knew what Joe Burrow would be they would have let him go? Not a chance.

Schools misjudge talent all the time. Baker Mayfield was a 2 time walk on. Von Miller was a 3 star prospect. Johnny Manziel was a 3 star. Those were all guys that were underrated, not overrated.

quote:

---

King may end up being better that all of them you don't know.

This could be true, and we have limited game film on him. But the film we do have, he was leading solid drives and ended up turning the ball over trying to do too much. If he can stay healthy and know when to give up on a play, I think he will be great.

quote:

---

Johnson has proven to be inept at leading much however he did beat yall with backups everywhere and a lame duck staff. You tell me does that mean he is better than he seems or that aTm was a crap team?

---

Johnson is a serviceable SEC QB. Calzada is not. Jimbo refused to dumb down our offense to fit Calzadas limited skill set from the neck up and managed to “outsmart” himself nearly all season. That is about 90% of the reason we lost to LSU this year. The other 10% is that the team seemed like they didn’t have much left to play for and came out completely flat in that game. That’s on everybody involved.

Again calling him a future Heisman is stupid until he actually takes snap period. His first snap could be an INT!

The list of can't miss prospects in high school that were huge busts in college is long so counting chickens before they are hatched is fools gold. Walker Howard is a 5 star but until he does anything at the college level I'm not calling him a future anything.

Here are a few 5 star busts for you from just this last decade.

MITCH MUSTAIN, QB, ARKANSAS, No. 2 pro-style QB in 2006
DAYNE CRIST, QB, NOTRE DAME, No. 1 pro-style QB in 2008
TYLER LOVE, OT, ALABAMA, No. 3 offensive tackle in 2008
AARON CORP, QB, USC, No. 3 pro-style QB in 2007
WHITNEY LEWIS, WR, USC, No. 1 WR in 2003
FRED ROUSE, WR, FLORIDA STATE, No. 3 wide receiver in 2005
RYAN PERRILLOUX, QB, LSU, No. 1 dual-threat QB in 2005
MAX BROWNE, QB, USC, No. 1 pro-style QB in 2013
BLAKE BARNETT, QB, ALABAMA, No. 1 pro-style QB in 2017
Tommy Grady, QB, Oklahoma/Utah,
James Banks, QB, Tennessee
Anthony Morrelli, QB, Penn State
Rocky Hinds, QB, USC/UNLV
Rhett Bomar, QB, Oklahoma/Sam Houston
Kyle Wright, QB, Miami
Ben Olson, QB, UCLA/BYU

There are so many more but I'm tired of listing them.

Is it just me or are there less busts at the QB position as time goes on? It seems like both at the college and NFL level teams have gotten better at evaluating talent and the players are entering the next level more ready to play.

Not saying there aren’t busts, just saying it seems like they are less frequent.

Just because he is a 5 star recruit means nothing

Again for you…the chance of a 5* QB working is a lot higher than picking lotto numbers. That was a very ignorant and general Cajun dumbass statement you made
