What do non-biased people think of Marcel Reed?

I think he is a very solid QB who is improving as a passer and that he’s a good decision-maker. I think he’s easily top 5 in the SEC, maybe even top 3, but I’m ignorant and biased.

So; what say the knowledgeable folks on tRant? Would you trade your QB for Reed? Troll if you must, but I’d love a serious discussion, even if I don’t like or agree with what’s said.

The only time I've seen him play football he carved up our defense

Nuss is the best QB in the SEC for sure.

He is better than the QB at Creighton.

No one can touch Creighton’s QB.

He has the potential to be. I wouldn't say he is right now

Still +900 to win heisman on Fan duel, with Mateer and Beck +1000. Idk about our fans, but the odds makers still think hes gonna have a great year.

I think he’s great against overmatched opponents running scripted plays

We’ll see how improved he is at reading talented defenses in the coming weeks

I think he struggles passing, particularly over the middle and deep.

This thread is about Marcel Reed, not Arch Manning.

Are you able to evaluate him objectively?

really too early to tell how much hes improved. But he has improved as a passer, theres no doubt about it.

The question i have is, is the staff going to play to his strengths, or will they just channel their inner-jimbo and force him to be a pocket passer?

I have watched less than 5 minutes of A&M so far this year, so I am not qualified.

What team does he play for? And I wouldn’t trade our qb for anyone at this time at Arkansas.

Maybe top 5 ceiling.
I don’t think he’s top 5 in performance.

Agreed

He's a bit undersized.

I think he plays one more season after this. A&M has a 5 star waiting in the wings.

Reed has better weapons this year. So if his reads and progressions improve, he could be top 3-5 in the SEC.

Let’s hold off on this until this weekend. I’m not trying to say he’s going to fall off this weekend, but 2 games against very inferior teams isn’t a great way to judge a player.
