Reed is the real deal!
Weigman will be looking over his shoulder!

Both will need an O-line that can hold up.

um, no

Ah yes. Classic TexAgs. The backup to the backup is the best player on the team.

This. By next week it'll have the 'book it' adverb attached to it.

Never good when the initial claim has "real deal." You've ALWAYS gotta wait a week for that. THEN, you can add "book it."

Look, the only "real deal" there is, or ever will be, is Reggie McNeal. Even he didn't turn out to be that real...

The kid will never see the field barring injuries in front of him or mop up time.

His mechanics are the worst I've ever seen.

Well that about covers all the options.

Thankfully I don't think we'll need a new QB next year.

"you heard it here first"

Sometimes it's so easy to hate this site....some folks dumber than sipsters at times.

Reed an important add for the future....need to get out of the cycle of Freshmen QBs being the saviors of programs.

So what's your sample size genius?

He better work on timing patterns and his mechanics. We just went down that road.

10 years playing the position at a competitive level and 15 years coaching it.

His throwing mechanics are horrible. It's not hard to see, even for somebody who doesn't know what they're talking about.

Wondering how long it'll take before someone asks if he can play receiver just because he's rumored to have a fast 40 time.

Sounds to me you wish you were as good as Reed. I bet you were a great coach, criticizing athletes like that instead of lifting them up.

I need to fart.

So with all that practical experience, this kid is the worst you've ever seen? Hyperbole much?

A) I'm not talking to him, this is a message board

B) Do you know what the point of coaching athletes is? It's to teach them to do things the right way and improve.

When you see a kid doing something the wrong way, ignoring it and telling him that the world is all sunshine and roses and everything will be fine does him no good.

These aren't peewee players. These are kids playing at a major college program.

Do you think Jimbo just smooths their feathers all day long gives them kisses?

Yes, his delivery mechanics are some of the worst I've seen for a kid his age that was just signed to a program as big as Texas a&ms.

Please tell me, since you are so offended by commenting on a kid's throwing mechanics, who you don't know at all... Why am I wrong?

Im not impressed by Reed, either. I feel like it was a little bit of a desperation signing because everyone else we've targeted was off the board

So now it's just "some of the worst". Softening your stance?
My issue has little to do with the actual mechanics of the player's throwing motion. It has more to do with the bashing of a young man who has yet to step foot on our hallowed grounds of Kyle Field representing the university I care deeply for.
Seems rather chicken shiite to me. But you do you big guy.

Ok.

He's the best passer I've ever seen.

Every player we've ever signed is the greatest at their position in the history of football.

All decisions made by our coaches are perfect and unquestionable.

It's impossible to love the school you graduated from and be objective, you are correct. What was I thinking?

And no I'm not softening my stance. His mechanics are atrocious.

I wasn't impressed with a previous QB that no longer plays for A&M because I didn't think his throwing motion passed the eye test but I didn't come on here and predict his fate. He got the chance to prove himself and it didn't work out.
Fortunately you and 4 didn't get to pick who we signed. Reed may or may not work out but that is the way it goes.

I have no idea how to judge throwing mechanics.

Can you educate us on how you determined his mechanics are bad?

Ignoring the unicorn fairy goaltenders for a minute…

What was your take on Haynes mechanics? Did they improve at all in the 3 seasons he was here?

When the head coach is a "QB Whisperer", should we expect our QBs to get to a point where their mechanics are elite?

Straw man argument. Good job going from one extreme to the other.
You are the expert here so I have a legitimate question. Is there any chance for the player's mechanics to improve with coaching and practice of drills designed for better mechanics?

Where did I predict his fate? I just said I'm not impressed. Are we not allowed to discuss recruiting anymore?

You must be a relative.
