Shaw has been here before

[the_ultimatethrill]

This is setting up to be a repeat of the Garcia situation. Shaw comes in under the radar as a back up for a perceived to be more talented yet more sporadic player and before you know it he is THE MAN

[FearThethumbandDJ]

Shaw is 3rd on the depth chart. People forget how good hoyer was when he played last year.

Also theres no way shaw could hold up under 16 games, he was hurt halfway through our season every year.

I see what you're saying but it's a little bit of a stretch. Manziel is 100X the QB Garcia was.

Time to take someones job. Looking at you John boy.

When Garcia was on his game, it would be a close call (see Alabama 2010). Unfortunately, we didn't get that Garcia very often.

Still not even close. Garcia had a damn good team, Manziel did not.

TAMU's defense is undersized (recruited to go against HUNH offenses) but if you think the offense around Johnny Football, wasn't good, there is no helping you. They put two back to back first round tackles into the NFL and their LT for next year is expected to do the same when he comes out and they have arguably the best WR corps in the SEC, which is saying something.

He will be there when Cleveland gets LeBron'ed again by Johnny.

Not even close. Some of you need a reality check.
I'll go ahead and say it....Connor can learn a lot from being around Manziel and the other 2 QBs on that team. Watching Manziel develop may be one of the best things to happen to Connor.

[Frosty]

I was hoping Connor would get drafted by the Patriots.

[PageUSC]

I would hold off on claims for him to be "the man". Let's just hope he can make the team. A lot of teams in the NFL don't carry 3 QBs anymore.

If Manziel is not starting it will be Hoyer.

Apparently he'll need to text the coaching staff and tell them to "hurry up"

Yeah when I read he did that I thought, how unprofessional.

Bs

[militarymind17]

Texas A&M had 3 first round draft picks in this years draft. So obviously they had some good players.

Also, I think Connor is gonna do really good. He's tough as nails. Just has to learn to slide more and I think he will.

You are kidding right ? Garcia didn't have the oline Manziel got to play behind for starters. How many of those offensive players have gone in the first or second round the past two seasons?

We ran zone-read and and had Lattimore and Alshon and Gurley we worked around our offensive linemen not being good. What won us our big games on those Garcia's team was our defense, and A&Ms defense was awful, which is why they would have to always just outscore teams.

No offense to Gurley, but he wasn't exactly a great receiver, just a tall guy who could catch the ball occasionally but not so well in traffic.

Well one was taken in the first round and won the Heisman. The other didn't get drafted and didn't even make a minicamp. Yes, I would say they are about the same.
