He showed some real flashes against McNeese! He looked composed and made some solid plays, although there were some incomplete passes especially the long passes, it's exciting to see what he can develop into with more experience. I believe if he keeps up like this, we could be seeing something special down the road.

To date as an Aggie, CW is a 60.3% passer, and CW was a 55.3% passer his freshman year (4 games). As you said, Reed is a 57% passer. Closer than most would like to admit. Both would be near the bottom of the SEC in Completion Percentage compared to the last 2 years of completion percentage stats.

Reed has already won 1 more road game than CW. Reed has already surpassed CW in career rushing. CW is 50 for 225 yards, 4.5 per carry and 2 TD. Reed is 45 for 262, 5.8 per carry and 2 TD. Both need improvement, and both are capable QBs, with different play styles.

---

A huge difference in the two: Reed does not turn the ball over and is a much better runner.

---

And are you aware how long CW went before tossing his 1rst int?
Turnovers are going to happen, part of the game.
I'm very happy we have both.

Perhaps a redeeming trait for both QBs is they have shown a good upside.

This cracks me up.

Also do yall remember how fat Kenny Hill was?

I'm too lazy to do it, but has anyone ever run CW's numbers against P5 and SEC competition? His total stats in 11 games at A&M are decent. They're not overly impressive but definitely not bad. He's a 60% passer averaging just under 200 yds a game with 18 TDs and 4 picks. I'm interested to see what he looks like against non-cupcakes.

Conner Weigman has been just average against Power 4 teams. He is 5-4 as a starter but just 2-4 against Power 4 teams. If we exclude our home win over Auburn in which he left with a left ankle injury in the 2nd quarter, he is just 1-4 in games against Power 4 teams that he started and finished.

2022
31-28 home loss to Ole Miss: 28/44, 338 passing yards, 4 touchdowns, and 0 interceptions
13-10 road loss at Auburn: 14/36, 121 passing yards, 1 touchdown, and 0 interceptions
38-23 home win over LSU: 12/18, 155 passing yards, 2 touchdowns, and 0 interceptions

2023
48-33 road loss at Miami: 31/53, 336 passing yards, 2 touchdowns, and 2 interceptions
27-10 home win over Auburn: 8/14, 70 passing yards, 0 touchdowns, and 0 interceptions before injuring his left ankle in the 2nd quarter.

2024
23-13 home loss to Notre Dame: 12/30 100 passing yards, 0 touchdowns, and 2 interceptions.

Statistically, Conner Weigman had his best performance against Power 4 teams during his freshman year with 7 touchdowns against 0 interceptions in 3 SEC games. Since his sophomore year, he has thrown 2 touchdowns against 4 interceptions in 3 games against Power 4 opponents, and he had his collegiate career worst performance against Notre Dame. Yes, Notre Dame has one of the nation's best defenses, but 13 points is the fewest we have scored in a home game since a 26-10 loss to Auburn on 11/7/15.

In contrast, Marcel Reed completed 11 of 17 passes for 178 yards, 10.47 yards per attempt, 2 touchdowns, and 0 interceptions in his first collegiate start. He attempted only 17 passes because we had 55 rushing attempts for 310 rushing yards, 5.63 yards per carry. Also, Reed had 13 carries for 83 rushing yards, 6.4 rushing yards per carry, and 1 touchdown. Yes, Florida has one of the nation's worst defenses, but this was Reed's first collegiate start came in an SEC road game. Reed accounted for 261 total yards and 3 touchdowns and had no turnovers. As result, we dominated Florida from start to finish to snap a 10-game road losing streak and get our first road win since a 35-14 rout at Missouri on 10/16/21, 1064 days or 152 weeks prior."

Fantastic! Thanks so much for doing the homework for me.

He's still got double TDs vs picks, but the numbers definitely show a downward trend. However, we don't really know what the Petrino effect was. It's entirely possible he's had to learn three different systems in three seasons. That's ridiculously hard for any QB, regardless of their football IQ.

---

Haven't Weigman and Reed had the same amount of time to learn the system they are both playing in now?

He was 420-750 or 56% for his high school career. To date as an Aggie he is a 57% passer. It is probably pretty safe to assume he will never be a high completion % QB. You don't jump 10+ points in college. You have that or you don't.

---

And Conner is at 52. Eat your own argument.

Eat what argument? I haven't mentioned Conner. Try and keep up genius.

What if I told you every quarterback makes some good throws and some bad throws?

Not true, too many other factors at play. How was his O-line in college? How about the receivers? I have no idea either just saying it's not all on the QB.

---

He played at a good program in high school that has produced a good slew of D1 & NFL players. Those were his stats over 4 years. He is what he is. He is never going to be a 68-70% passer. You can't coach accuracy.

---

I didn't ask about the program's history that's irrelevant. I asked about the players he was throwing to and the O-line that was protecting him. What about the offensive scheme he was playing in? Lots of factors and I'm just saying you can't put someone in a box and project their college career based on high school numbers.

Tom Brady's completion percentage in high school was 52.6%. Peyton Manning 59%. Shall I go on?

Carson Beck career high school completion percentage was 54.3%
Shedeur Sanders 63.5%
Jaxson Dart 62.2%
Cam Ward 52.8%
Cade Klubnik 69.9%
Garrett Nussmeier 57.6%
Marcell Reed 56%
Will Howard 62.2%
Quinn Ewers 70%
Nico Iamaleava 59.8%
Drew Allar 59.9%

All of the above are guys in the top 30 in the country in QBR per ESPN except Sanders but I've included him because he's thought to be a potential high draft pick. Reed is on the lower end of the list, but let's not pretend like high school completion percentage matters even a little bit when it comes to college performance.

Thanks, I was too lazy to look up more examples. Although I did see Johnny Manziel was 63% in high school. Improved to 69% in college. Thank you Mike Evans.

marcel gives the aggies a decided advantage on 3d down. with some play calling designed for his instincts, great use can be made of him.

As much as I hate to say it injured or not, CW has a lower ceiling from what I've seen.

I know that's hard to stomach considering how high he was rated out of hs but he has zero pocket presence.
