You realize this is a video made by a fan, right?

Don't you mean "Lanning Spencer"? You know, the HBC's favorite player! LOL

Glad to see Gurley Man is making it in the NFL.

[FanofCarolina1]

Connor will wear #9 for the Browns.
Good thing they spelled his name right

[johnmcclane]

not sure if this has been mentioned... but i wonder if he may get a look at receiver (a la julian edelman, brad smith, armanti edwards) since cleveland's are all injured, suspended, etc.

It has been mentioned, but I doubt he will.

Can't wait to see the progress this young man can make now that he has coaches that can spend as much time as needed with him. The NCAA really locks down how much interaction a coach and player can have, and the practices that can occur, etc. Guys like Shaw who love to prepare can make a big jump in ability early on just through the increased practices.

Some Gamecocks get disappointed in draft - The Greenville News

http://www.greenvilleonline.com/stor...draft/9069721/

Both analysts were high on Shaw, who signed a free agent deal with the Cleveland Browns, and believe he has a chance to make an NFL roster.

"As I've said before, I just love the guy," McShay said. "He's a coach's son – tough, competitive. He's a winner. The Missouri game, when he came off the bench in the fourth quarter, was a microcosm of his career there.

"He'll get a shot, and it won't surprise me a bit if he winds up in the league for several years because he's the perfect reserve quarterback in the sense he provides mobility, he's going to study hard and he's going to be prepared every week."

CLE can build an offense around JF and if he fails or gets hurt, they don't have to completely change their offensive scheme. They can plug in Shaw who will work his ass off and be ready when called.

Plus, JF may be in jail and suspended by August.

Remind me again where people criticized JFF for not studying the game or working hard??? Didn't call out coverages? You didn't watch much Aggie football the last two years did you? And where does the injury risk come from? He never missed a game in college. Shaw can't say that, seems to me on past history one would be more of a risk than the other... just sayin'

Look at the end of the day Connor is a good football player and a good QB, but there is a reason that 32 teams passed on drafting him for 7 rounds. I wish the guy all the luck, but let's be realistic here, he wasn't as good as Johnny was in college and will not be as good in the pros either. I don't doubt that he can make the team and IF Johnny does get hurt, then he might get a chance to start, but those of you that doubt the competitive fire in JFF and his work ethic surely don't know anything about the guy.

Cleveland for connor is great. Being behind manziel is great. Cleveland now has two similar qb's so if one goes down the other can step in and play and hopefully not drop off much. Cleveland being cleveland, connor has a better shot of getting playing time down the road. Also to the aggie, shaw was easily the most underratted sec qb this year if not this decade, his stats his senior year prove that, and manziel getting all sec over him is a joke. The NFL teams passed on him because they could, and they could get him for cheap while addressing other needs. Smart play by the GM's. Connor isnt a pro style qb and him going where JFF goes is very logical for a team

In our defense we aren't littletm fans so why would we watch their games? Don't come on here acting as if little johnny is the best thing since sliced bread because to younger Gamecocks Connor is the best Quarterback we've ever had even some of the older guys feel it but some are biased to others that wore The Garnet & Black.

You know in the nfl Johnny will have to be a pocket passer right or he will die and the same could be said for Connor. But I would not at all be shocked if little johnny fails and doesn't live up to his billing most of the NFL thought the same thing that is why he wasn't the #1 pick he thought he was. Don't be shocked if Connor is always right there competing for #1. Good news for little johnny is that Connor has always worked well with his fellow quarterbacks and Connor can teach him how to be a great quarterback not some flash in the pan fad and on COCKYtalk.

I think Mike Vick, Colin Kapernick, and Russel Wilson would all disagree. Just because Connor is the best you have ever had doesn't make him better. And if you didn't watch Johnny or actually see his work ethic, that's understandable, But why would you go spouting off with some diarrhea of the mouth you heard someone else say that was just as clueless? Makes you look like a jealous and ignorant fool. You say Connor will "teach" him to be a great Quarterback, I guess the old saying "those that can't do teach" would be in play here?
Look it's ok to support your guy, but put down the Kool-aid for a second and realize that Connor just might not be as good as JFF. I would be willing to bet most unbiased football fans, players, coaches, and owners would agree.

It's not the athletic ability we're on about, it's the character issues. And Connor is LIGHT YEARS ahead of Johnny in that department. If you don't think Johnny can't learn from Connor in that dept, your Crazy.

But truth be told simply based on measurables (40 time, vertical, long jump, shuttle times) Johnny and Connor are pretty comparable. Just because someone is "flashier" doesn't mean they are a "better" athlete.

Connor Shaw
40 time 4.66
3 cone 7.07
Shuttle 4.33
Vertical 34.00
Broad 116

Johnny Manziel
40 time 4.68
3 Cone 6.75
Shuttle 4.03
Vertical 31.50
Broad 113

I have already said what I think is a bold prediction, the guy won't be in the NFL in 5 years for a variety of reasons, work ethic being toward the bottom.

Lol..... You aught to sell some of what you're smoking. Give me Shaw any day. Since you bring it up I wonder why 32 teams passed on Tom Brady for 6 rounds?????? Yep, They was dead on,lol. Johny football has never impressed me throwing the ball or running it really. He has horrible mechanics. He has the ability to slip tackles and bounce around but a game or two in the pros will shut that down. I see Shaw taking the reins fairly early. Shaw is partially responsible for the longest home win record in the nation and never lost a game at home......... How does Johny boy stack up to that?

Oh and to the poster above... Really??? "partially responsible for the longest active home winning streak" lmao so when the Aggies went 5 years in the 90's without losing a home game, our QB was "partially responsible for that" as well. Remember him? Yeah not many people do. And you are now comparing Shaw to Brady??? Laughable at best
