The man represented himself and the university to perfection. If he hadn't helped gut out wins against tough SEC opponents & let us stay undefeated, Connor's brilliant return to the lineup wouldn't have created the same positivity and optimism. The Alabama & Tennessee loss wouldnt have carried the same weight at all. It feels great to be an aggie. Thx Marcel. I think he has a bright future.

No doubt!

Here's hoping he stays undefeated his entire Aggie career

Agree. Really lucky to have him.

Like I've said, we are absolutely blessed to have 3 QB's who would start at probably 75% of schools in the country. All with SEC experience. All who have won SEC games. All who have been tested against quality defenses and experienced live multiple different schemes and defensive attacks.

Yep. Football truly is a team sport. He played his role well and the starting role will be his again in the future

We're very fortunate to have Marcel. Great competitor and developing into a great player.

I hope his contribution to this season is largely complete because it probably means Conner stays healthy and we roll. Reality though, in the SEC, is that you have to be ready. This is a very physical league.

We're in a really good position at the QB spot.

Love seeing a positive post here!

Reed has a bright future. He'd be wise to stick it out with us and hone his craft and be ready to take over the reigns when it's time again.

Without a doubt we have the best backup QB situation in the SEC if not the country....and he was able to come in play 3 games, win them all, including two conference games getting tremendous experience, at the same time being able to see some things he could work on. God forbid another injury occurs to CW we are in a very good spot at the position.

At this point, being able to play 4 games and redshirt, if we get in another game that's a blowout and want to bring someone else in it would be nice to even let M. O'neil get some in game snaps for his future growth.

Hope this happens. Elko nailed it with his comments earlier in the year. Reed needs to find some consistency in the passing game. I don't think he's a guy that is just going to be inaccurate, some of those throws were very good. If he finds consistency he's going to be a weapon at QB.

Sips would disagree and as much as it pains me to say it, they may be right.

They may be right… however Arch has yet to play against a conference opponent with a winning record. I would like to see how he plays against a conference opponent on the road before saying one is better than the other.

Arch definitely has the better passing stats to back up that claim though.

Reed is quick, and reminded me of Reggie. We're definitely lucky to have him.

Yep, I said it back in the Spring. We have the best in the country 3-deep QB rotation. And we will prob need it.

Marcel Reed's per game and per attempt averages look a lot like Lamar Jackson's freshman averages. You may only get 55%-60% completion percentage, but there is a lot to like about his college future.

Arch has only played against the worst team by far in the conference. Florida scored at will against Miss State at Starkville. Sips struggled for most of the game against Miss State.

Marcel kept the ship upright and moving ahead while Conner recovered.
He should be very proud of his contribution. He's got a great future.

Marcel is an Aggie. To the letter. Glad he's on our team. And excited to see him lead us to the playoffs in future years. Proud of him!

We have 3 QB's that could start at 75% of the schools in the country? Are we including FCS, D2, and D3?

He was thrown into the fire and helped us win 3 games as a freshman!

CW will be gone after next year. Then Reed is up to bat…

I hope Marcel stays if Wig doesn't go to the NFL after this season. Marcel has the potential to be a very, very good player. Elite level potential, just has to focus on reading coverages & tuning his accuracy. That will come with experience.

Can we get a Waffle House in College Station??
