[Lonnie]

So far in the preseason JF has 128 yds and 1 Td. He's played in 2 games.*Connor Shaw has played 2*series*and has 123 yds and 1 TD

[Carolina4Life]

Connor Shaw! Man made Johnny Football look like shit and almost did what he did at Mizzu last year. Give him the starting lineup and watch him put in work. Can't wait to see what Spurrier has to say, more importantly. I can't wait wait to see what Shaw can do.

And please Johnny, sniff some more coke the next game.

It's an unfair comparison. Shaw went against second and third stringers. I still hope Shaw does well, but to say he made Manziel look like shit is foolhardy at best. Manziel did a good job making himself look like shit with the middle finger though.

I don't know how much Connor helped himself tonight.....most coaches judge players on practice first. But I will say, he sure as hell didn't hurt himself any. He showed leadership, poise under pressure in the 2 minute offense. His passing was accurate, and his escapability was good. And even though he wasn't playing against the starters, every one of the players on that field had to be good enough to get invited to camp and stay there for at least 2 games. And how about all the props Gruden gave him and the Gamecocks tonight while Connor was in. That was great.

i don't think it was an unfair comparison at all. hoyer was on the field with the ones, not johnnie. jfootball was playing largely against guys trying to make a team, just like connor was. connor had one in-completion that should have been caught. johnnie threw shit all night long. his escapability was terrible, and he looked rattled all night. connor looked much more calm under pressure.

I think he did exactly what he needed to do. And that is get some film out there for all the teams to look at. Sure he plays for the Browns right now but third string in preseason is essentially an audition for any and every team considering a third string or ps qb.

Bro! Take of your tater glasses and go back and watch jff's play in that game he stunk it up. Also the guys Connor was throwing too are likely not going to make an nfl roster as well as the people blocking for him so the comparison is still valid. Connor's accuracy to the 1st or 2nd team Offensive weapons vs. how how manziel was throwing the ball? How can this not be a fair comparison?

Can't wait for when he is starting for someone not too far down the road. All of these taters posing as Gamecock fans will be like Damn he is just that good.

It's strange that the Redskins play their 3rd stringers late in the preseason games but the Browns play their 1st string the whole game.

I mean clearly their 1st string OL was in during the 4th quarter because Shaw had all the time in the world to make plays...

Manziel did not come out of the game until 1/2 way through the 4th quarter so at that point he was going against the same players that Shaw was.

[Legalman72]

Shaw was also playing WITH third-stringers...not just against third-stringers. No, what he did won't win him the starting job, but he gave the coaches a lot to think about. I'd wager he earned himself more PT, too.

[TheManInBlack]

Not sure if C Shaw will even make the Browns - seems their 3 are set. But, he looked good, and maybe it will get him a chance with someone else, worst case.

Oh I don't know. Look what Spurrier had to say:

[garnetmike]

Did ANYONE else watching the game last night think, "Damn this looks EXACTLY like every game that Connor played at USC!"

He scrambled and gained yards; he threw under pressure...well; and he simply moved the chains. He put up good numbers and led them down the field against PRO FOOTBALL PLAYERS (regardless of 2nd team, 3rd team) and his post game remarks are only about his regret of the 2 point play. THAT is quintessential Connor Shaw and from the "other dude" we get MORE drama (flipping the bird). Didn't know that was an NFL offense worthy of a fine...but it's JUST ANOTHER negative thing that Manziel has thrown into the mix. He's a baby. He's immature. He's entitled. He thinks he's above it all and everyone else.

Connor Shaw? Jeez, he's JUST a winner.

Unfair? Connor was playing behind and with third stringers as well. The RT couldn't block a middle school DE. That throw on the run was as good as it gets.

[COCKDIESEL]

Connor did about the best job he could given the opportunity. Hopefully that earns him a few more reps in practice and more time in the next game. Maybe the Browns coach will throw us all a curve ball but I fully expect him to name JM or BH the starter and the other the back up before their next preseason game.

My favorite pass was the step up into the pocket and the deep square in. Showed his arm strength.

[Rebel4ever]

At the very least, if Shaw won't start or even play much this season, these moments he gets in the preseason could be his dress rehearsal for other teams. He had very little protection last night and look at the throws he made. Some team somewhere will wake up and take notice while the Browns stay star struck by the party boy and home town boy.

And his growing confidence in the pocket. He hung in there very well for not having great protection. Ran early a couple of times but much improved. I wish he could get some first team reps.
