Will he be playing New Mexico every week? No. But after the LSU game that was a nice reconfirmation…

Problem is the Auburn game happened too.

Though he's got a better OC now and some experience under his belt.

Barring injury, it's what I expect.

People keep saying that he under threw the deep balls, and I'm not disagreeing really, but CW has yet to throw an interception in his career. I think he has a good handle on where to throw the ball to make sure the defender can't get it, even if it's not a perfect pass in stride with the receiver. I expect him to be fully throwing people open by the end of the season, and I'm confident that we have good enough receivers now that can realize and adjust to that mid route.

Texas A&M’s Conner Weigman ranks in the top 10 nationally among QBs in several PFF categories:

1. ADOT (14.8).
4. Offensive grade with no play-action (92.1).
5. Offensive grade (87.8) when pressured.
7. Offensive grade (91.8) when blitzed.
9. Offensive (91.9).
10. Passing (91.1)

When you have playmakers like Noah, Evan, and Moose. The very last thing you want to do in 1 on 1 down the field is overthrow the football. You error on the underthrow and expect your guy to make a play and at worst expect him to prevent a pick.

This board spent years complaining about Kellen overthrowing everything. Now they want to complain about completions they think are slightly underthrown. He's putting the ball exactly where it should be. 13 TD and 0 int in his career so far. Conner knows what he's doing...

---

The zoo doesn't even understand the sport they spend all of their time complaining about.

If you saw him play in HS you are not surprised at all. Certain players have "it" and he is one of those. He has great instincts, arm talent and running talent. He is young and will make mistakes but he is a 3 year player and those are rare. Enjoy the ride!

I'm interested to know what people "feel" when the ball is snapped to CW.

For instance, when JFF got the ball, I anticipated something amazing every single time. Glued to the play.

Alternatively, when Dustin Harris was back to return a punt, I all but had to close my eyes because I was so afraid he'd drop it.

Thoughts?

Im excited anticipating good stuff, but i hold my breath wondering what kind of pass pro he will get from our OL.
he's very good in pocket- we need to make sure he has one.

This receiving group we have is just outstanding!

This. With the WR group crushing it too it's hard to precisely attribute the success -- a textbook application of the Evans-Manziel Uncertainty Principle. It'd be interesting if there were a QB metric that specifically compensated out receivers' capabilities. But as a life-long football fan, the 0 INT stat at this point kind of makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up.

But I'd say we have extraordinary talent at both QB and receiver, along with great chemistry between them. So the good news, for us fans, is that the overall performance dynamics should be durable. The bad news is that the individual attribution scenario is no more clear than in years past.

---

Yeh, the first pick on Weigman is gonna feel like the first dent on your brand new truck. Anything we say is gonna feel like a jinx. I also agree with the chemistry comment. With who is left after the great purges, these guys seem to genuinely click with each other, and from all the interviews are a likable and resilient bunch. They make it easy to root for them. Win or lose, I think the team core will do us proud as Aggies. The fallout from the diaspora has made it clear it was addition via subtraction. As far as the E-M Uncertainty Principal, it's possible. Do we really want to find out, or keep riding the wave? I guess the only way to evaluate would be to isolate a variable and change - to have data with same receiver group and different QB or vice versa. I would prefer to never have that question fully answered, and have my toes gripping that fantasy sex wax while ripping through a tight curl. Maybe I'm in da Nile, but that's part of the fun.

I swear he might have a residual concussion for that game as off as he was.

He had a couple would-be INTs dropped last year but that was a long time ago now anyway. I'm wary of some of his deep ball under-throws being picked by a good defensive back unless our WRs start to high-point the football like they did not high-point it vs New Mexico.
