What do you think Reid's future is with the team, with the way our offense seems to be moving towards a more misdirection/veer attack? With Garcia having at least two more years and then the development of Connor Shaw. I just thought I would get the groups thoughts on this situation.

One. . . I don't see this team heading to a more MisDirection / veer
attack. I see some play designs where that might be put in for one or
more plays, but I don't see it becoming our base offense. Even if that
does happen, Reid is here because we saw something good in him
enough to offer him a scholie with the intention of him playing a
position for us. Not to fit in a mold of a certain type QB, or athlete.

Two. . . Reid's future is the same fate as any other recruit that we sign
for QB or any other position. We don't recruit them with the idea of them
being Starters, then backups, then reserves. We recruit them for their
potential to become contributers to the overall scheme, and then it's
entirely up to them as to how far they climb on the depth chart, or how
much PT they get. If Reid is to play QB, then it's up to him to beat out
the others. He'll either become a starter, a backup or a practice squad
QB. Same as has been case for anyone at any position since we've had
a football program.

Like all players it's up to him, his ability to play within the system, and willingness to learn. He has the tools to be a very good QB for us and we still don't know for certain how Garcia will play this season so anything is possible.

I think Reid has a lot of potential as a passer, and if he keeps improving he can compete with Shaw or whoever down the road...But with the switching to a more spread oriented offense, he might not be the right fit for us...I have been told that Stephon Gilmore will get the call before Reid this year.

Reid has been labeled as a born leader from his HS career...He does have a live arm and seems to have a good head on his shoulders...He is gonna have to be ready THIS YEAR just in case...I think you will see Reid get a lot of time under center during the gimme games as long as Garcia is moving the offense...As we all know to compete in the SEC depth is the key and that most certainly includes the QB position...

Being a QB @ Carolina can be hard on a kid. I hope he develops and improves with each practice. It's hard to say what is in his future, it's really up to Reid.

castironcock
07-27-2009, 11:08 AM
i agree with everything you said, smoove. it ultimately is in the hands of the player. how hard he works, studies and improves has everything to do with what his role will be. but when he took over the other team in the spring game, he really looked good and moved the team down the field pretty easily. it's all up to him.
by the way smoove, yours is my favorite sig on this board. very humorous.

i dont think the evolution of the offense will hinder him if he makes plays. sam bradford is basically a pocket passer in a spread offense though he can move within the pocket, if reid can make plays with his arm we'll slightly alter the offense with less qb read plays and let 'er rip.

I'm not sure why everyone has already deemed Conner Shaw the next big thing. He's a rising senior in high school with a year of playing QB under his belt. I hardly think that guarantees his anything when he gets on campus. For all we know he could end up playing WR like Kenny McKinley. I just think it's a little soon to be saying that Reid's future is in question because a junior in high school has committed to us.

He seems to have a good head on his shoulders. If he has a good work ethic and wants it bad enough, I think he can be a great qb for us.

I think its a question of can he move well enough in the pocket..or get some yards if the play breaks down..stuff like that..We all know he can throw the football.

Well u have to look at a few things.

1.) With SOS you never know who your QB is going to be minute to minute. You never know Garcia could screw up agains NC State and Reid could be in by the second half. (Look @ Beecher & Smelley last year against State).

2.) If anyone has ever seen any game film of Reid you will know that he fits the mold of a SOS QB, and when you fit that mold you will always have a chance to start.

3.) Gilmore will only see action @ QB in the Cocky & maybe on some option formations. We are too thin @ DB for them to risk him getting injured and not being able to play at all. Plus Gilmore knows the only way he plays on Sunday is @ DB and he is going to focus as much time getting better at that position as he can.

I have watched Gilmore from Pee Wee and he is one of those players that can come out on the field and play a few positions, excel at each one, and make it look easy. Don't get me wrong I would LOVE to see him @ QB, but I don't think SOS wants to risk him being hurt!!!

Well here is the thing..The mold of QB has changed in Spurrier's eyes..He isnt after just pure pocket passers anymore..especially with GA Mangus now in charge..and the Stephon Gilmore thing is a wait & see..I'll wait until I see it but it is an option that the staff is considering...Now this is all based on if Garcia gets hurt, etc

Yeah you are right it has changed some, but he is called SOS (Same Ole Spurrier) for a reason. Don't get me wrong I hope he is changing because with Mangus and Wolford there it could become something special with the formations they want to input into the offense. Now I know personally with Gilmore, Spurrier will give him the option if something happens to garcia as to whether he moves to QB or stays at DB. Gilmore has stated on more than one occasion to his family that he wants to stay @ DB because he knows that is the only way he will make it in the NFL.

But with that he is most likely very competitive and will do anything to win, if that means moving to QB for past of a season then so be it

My biggest concern with Reid is not physical. I have heard Spurrier comment on the fact that he does not know if Reid loves the game and is willing to put in the effort. With that being said, that can change. I think the key is like any other QB is he willing to dedicate himself to the position. I agree with C2 the QB position is changing. I do however think Reid is athletic enough to thrive IF he is willing to do the little things that Spurrier speaks of.

Make no excuses. Connor Shaw is the best QB prospect we have committed in over a decade. I am not basing this on Star Rankings but upside and ability.

I think Reid has a great arm and I think he has the leadership skills, from what I hear, to be a solid quarterback. The only reason I ask the question is not based on Spurrier's notion of an ideal quarterback based on his past success. Instead, based on the direction of our offense and scheme that will be implemented with the new coaches. I just don't see us playing a dual-threat qb during run option plays and then putting in a pure passer for obvious passing downs. The way the offense seems to be headed, if Wolford implements the same style they had at Ill., then I just see the program moving toward a dual-threat qb. This was never meant to be a knock on Reid.....

well i mean after garcia wins the heisman and leads us to an SEC championship this year he'll probably leave early as he will be a guarunteed top 5 draft pick.. whenthis happens well need a new QB..

oh wait NOT...

Shaw is the flavor of the year. He will be rated around the same as McCollum was when he came out of high school. It's not like Shaw's potential dwarfs McCollum's.

As for Gilmore playing QB if Garcia goes down.. it'll be painful to watch. How many reps has he and will he get in practice at QB? Not saying he can't play QB but a freshman with hardly any reps at QB in our offense up against SEC defenses = complete disaster.

Connor has more athletic ability than Stephen...In fact, Shaw will be one of the better athletes on the team when he steps onto campus...and lets remember, I don't think that Garcia worked out infront of Spurrier...Shaw did.

wincocks84
07-27-2009, 04:51 PM
I think he could be a starter should Garcia not pan out...which is entirely possible. I hope Garcia does pan out, but I havent seen anything special yet. Then again Garcia is only a Soph. so he has plenty of time to develop. The question is will he? Reid has a strong arm and is a capable option. He isnt mobile though, and if we are switching to a more spread offense then he wont fit as well as Garcia. Heck Garcia might not be quick enough for what Mangus wants to do. We'll see what happens. I just want to see a winning season, with a bowl win. Gonna be tough though.

Reid will be fine. He was coached by one of the best HS coaches in the country.
He played at Summerville and was pretty sucessful, especially throwing the pigskin to A.J. Green.

First off, I think Reid has an excellent chance of being a good QB for USC but mostly I wanted to find out one thing.

I thought I read in one of the spring reports that Reid is more mobile than people give him credit so I imagine he is not just some brick footed guy standing in the pocket.

I do. I also think Shaw has a higher Football IQ than Garcia. Keep in perspective this is my opinion. I also think as athletic as Stephen is this kid is even more athletic. Connor has also improved throwing the ball so much its scary. That was a big factor in his Team crushing Hoover Alabama at the 7 on 7 National Championship.

As far as comparing McCollum to Shaw...if I'm not mistaken, isn't Shaw the primary playmaker on his team? Many say that Reid's numbers were "inflated" due to a phenomenal target in AJ Green...

What would give somebody the idea that we're moving to a Veer offense?

Coondog
07-27-2009, 09:05 PM
Why does everyone think Reid isn't mobile. The main objective for a QB is to scramble out of trouble while looking downfield for a receiver, then take off if there's no other option. The QB draw is a designed play and Phil Petty was pretty good at it but he didn't have blazing speed or the ability to make a defender miss, he got what he could out of the play and moved on. Reid can be a very serviceable QB in the spread offense as long as he plays smart and doesn't turn the ball over.

As far as Conner goes he is still in HS and has yet to even practice against an SEC defense. I personally am real excited about his potential but I was just as excited about Garcia. I still do have faith that Garcia can be a very good QB for us but of coarse we won't know exactly how good he is until we see him in action this fall.

Mainly what I'm getting at is like Garcia Reid has all the tools he just needs to learn the game and how far he takes it is entirely up to him.

Reid can move around and could very well turn out to be a great one if he works hard. We all speculate but nobody really knows but hey, its a message board.

Gray is God
07-27-2009, 10:56 PM
I see some of you may disagree but I think SS planned on him being a solid back-up which I think he can be. Not bashing him and I mean no disrespect but I think that really should be his only role if Garcia plays to his potential and our other QB prospects develop as planned. His future is like any other player though he can work his butt off and move up the depth chart, he could get hurt, he could not work hard, or a lot of our QBs could get hurt....in short who knows what his future will be, but hopefully he'll be involved with sucess whether it be on the field or on the bench.

First off I guess using this logic you might say FL's next QB John Brantley won't make it either. He is pretty much a drop back passer. USC is so thin at QB we have to say our starting CB Stephen Gilmore might be our backup QB. I guess to me telling your second string backup Reid McCollum he doesn't fit might make him more likely to transfer as well. We already lost what little experienced depth we had at QB this year already in losing two QBs. There is never a guarantee any high school QB will play well once they hit college. Garcia is still an unknown as is Connor Shaw. Spurrier's highest rated QB at FL turned out to be a bust and he transfered to Miami and never did much. There are plenty of QBs like Reid MCollum who ended up being a starter. No matter what AJ Green did not throw all those passes to himself he had help from Reid McCollum.

Why do so many sell Reid McCollum short? From what I've heard, he's got an above average arm and a good head on his shoulders and if Garcia plays like he did against Clemson and Iowa, than McCollum may very well end up being the starter.

Exactly. Hopefully he's prepared himself better than Garcia did, who basically admitted last year before the bowl game that he hadn't been watching film and preparing like he should.

Look at it this way..we're painfully thin at QB. We have one guy that's broken a sweat in a game situation, and he's one bad half or one sprained ankle away from losing his job. That leaves us with Reid, Hillary, 2 walk-ons, and a true freshman.

Gilmore may be able to play a limited package, but it'll likely resemble Garcia's package last year..run right, run left, run up the middle...with a couple of passes thrown in to mix it up.

Garcia may be the next best thing, Shaw may be the next best thing, the kid from Florida (Clifford?) may be the next best thing...or "the next best thing" may not even be on our recruiting boards yet.

Lets stand behind who we have, keep our fingers crossed, and hope our OL buys them a little time this year.

What a question? Does anyone remember the statement by SOS about the fact that we have a clear cut #1 qb due to experience but with extra work and knowledge of the offense we could have someone jump up the depth chart as SOS had at Florida with Shane Mathews. Reid has more athletic ability that anyone gives him credit for having. Does anyone know that our program like others compete in a team drills that resemble the combine? Each position has drills that key on different skill sets for each position on the field. Does anyone know that just yesterday the team finished up drills like these to see how they progressed during voluntary workouts? I have heard some of the results of the drills and they might surprise most. First, our qbs run a 20 yd dash, a NFL shufle, accuracy drills, verticle jump and im sure Im missing some. Reid again tested out the fastest of our qbs in the 20 yd, and the NFL shuffle. He had a 29 in vert. Aramis had a 30. Garcia a 29(vert). Why do people still question this kids athetic ability? Garcia and Reid have similar arms as far as strenght goes. Reid is the more accurate passer. I think we are in a good situation as far as the qb position goes. I dont think we have seen Garcia play his best football for one and hopefully now is the time. Although his last game was not one to brag on both he and Reid have pushed each other to become better. Another thing, I am tired of hearing that Aj Green padded Reids numbers in high school. Yes he is one of the best athletes we might ever see come out of a south carolina high school and I watched him make som catches that others would not but Reid had 3 recievers go over 1000yds his senior year! Summerville threw it 40-50 times then and it was not only because they had AJ. They had a qb that could read defenses and make the proper reads to get the ball to the open man wether it be AJ or someone else. I will continue to post facts about our gamecocks as voluntary workouts conclude and as fall begins. SOS has said that we will see Reid Mac this year on the field "guaranteed" and that he'd better be ready. Lets Go Cocks!!

I keep reading posts saying people are questioning Reids Athletic ability. Other than 1 or 2 posters I don't see it? I think the question is - and this was stated by Coach Spurrier himself - is Reid willing to dedicate himself to football as needed to become a starter in the SEC. Not my words but Coach Spurriers.

:puke:Reid has some talent. I'm not sure if it's SEC talent though. He's lived the charmed life full of amazing receivers...he's a pocket passer and we dont have the OL to support that. i saw this kid grow up in s-ville...his highschool OL was as big as USC. He is going to be a lot more mobile in order to be a good QB for us. The only reason Garcia has a shot to be good here is because he can scramble...period.

I keep hearing all this stuff about having to depend on Garcia and that we have no one else. Personally, I can't believe that. Anybody check out Riley Skinners history. He wasn't even considered a good 3rd stringer. And anyway, Spurrier's offense doesn't have to have a Tebow to be good. Suppose Phil Petty was on this year's squad. Where would you have him. He was slow, not that accurate and couldn't throw it more that 40 yards down field. BUT, he made very few mistakes, got us out of bad calls at the line of scrimmage and just made first downs. He led the team. Translation, you don't have to have a rocket arm or great speed (or athleticism for that matter) to be a great college QB. You just have to do the things a QB is supposed to do - QB the team.

Call me crazy but McCollum will be our quarterback by mid-season possibly before that.

I keep reading posts saying people are questioning Reids Athletic ability. Other than 1 or 2 posters I don't see it? I think the question is - and this was stated by Coach Spurrier himself - is Reid willing to dedicate himself to football as needed to become a starter in the SEC. Not my words but Coach Spurriers.


Guess you weren't paying attention when SOS said that he had the best bowl practices of all our qbs and that he has became a "student" of the playbook. He also spoke of his dedication!! Reid must have hooked up with one of your girlfriends.lol

From who? We will see Gilmore in the future taking snaps but not because he is our second string qb. Gilmore will come in from time to time and run the wild hog or whatever soin we out on it here in Cola! It should be exciting!! Having said that I hope that Garcia stays healthy and gives us a productive season. The last thing we want is to have to play a rs freshman qb again during the most demanding schedule in all of college football. Reid Mac is my dawg and I feel that he is the perfect qb for the system we run at Carolina. Strong arm, GREAT LEADER, knows football, has plenty of mobility(his alusiveness is surprising!!), and best of all he wants to be the best!! I Would love for our oline to prosper this year. That would help smelley or beecher if they were still around. Our qbs have been running scared since the ole' Ball Coach came to town. The perfect qb for our system thus far has been one that can handle being sacked more than anyone in the league and still be healthy enough to show up to practice the following monday!! Lets all hope Garcia steps up his game which he should be able to do due to our improvement at the line. If this happens we will have to debate other positions instead of the qb and that would be nice for a change!!

I have been told that Stephon Gilmore will get the call before Reid this year.

I have also heard that Gilmore would come in 2nd

And the Pope told me he's gonna let priests marry and nuns have threesomes on Easter Sunday.

Why is it the mods will jump on the littlest thing and call it "flaming" but this kind of pure nonsense is considered reasonable conversation?

(What's funny is Fuzzy is probably just spewing what he read CT wrote the day before. So now I guess we've all heard it from TWO different sources and so it's gotta be true, right?)

Give USC a running game and Reid will thrive, otherwise we wont be able to throw it no matter who is back there.
