Hot take, but Reed will probably never be better than a serviceable college backup. If the late Mike Leach is to be believed, there's no way to teach accuracy, Reed's primary issue.

Seems like our best bet post-Weigman is going to be O'Neill, Longstreet, or Casuga.

Would love to be proven wrong about Reed though, dude's been a warrior for us. Just not a super effective one

The ND version of Conner vs The Fla version of Reed=Reed far better

The Mizzou version of Conner vs the Arky version of Reed=Conner far better

The higher ceiling going forward=Conner

The lower basement going forward=Conner

Who do I want to start vs Miss St=Conner

For chissakes. We have a former 5-star QB prospect playing well as an upperclassman, and are in the top 15 with a decent shot at 10 wins and/or an appearance in the SEC Championship.

But sure, let's entertain pointless "should we play the talented underclassman backup because potential?" hypotheticals.

THIS really is and really should be END OF THREAD!

We have two very good QBs and an even better coach to make a decision.

Wiggy and Reed

Stats be damned (especially those that are not in all cases apples-to-apples), Weigman is by far the better quarterback at this stage. He did not play up to his usual standards and had a bad game against Notre Dame. If that becomes a trend I'm all ears, but so far it looks to me like an outlier.

I like Marcel, and I think he's about the best you can expect in a QB2 these days given the portal, but his at-best inconsistent ability to pass the ball accurately makes a us a more one-dimensional offence. I'm among those that think that will bite us on the ass if he is not able to improve in that regard and for whatever reason becomes QB1.

This reminds me of the Mond days.

"If X Mond shows up instead of the Y Mond, then we'll win this game!"

Except for Y Weigman has shown up once. Ever

---

Was it the once vs top 10 Missouri or the once vs top 5 LSU?

Honestly you could include the 2022 #15 Ole Miss game. He balled out in that game too

I think he's saying we've only ever seen bad Weigman once (ND) and you guys are actually in violent agreement?

Let's count great games against ranked oppenents

#9 Missouri - 2024
#5 LSU - 2022
#15 Ole Miss - 2022

Now lets look the games he put up great stats against non-ranked oppenents

UNM - 2023
ULM - 2023
McNeese - 2024

So thats 6 great games and he's only played in 12 but one of those was Auburn 2023 where he was i jured early and didn't return.

Plus he's probably only had 2 bad games, ND 2024 and his first time playing South Carolina 2022.

Reed could definitely improve his accuracy by ironing out his throwing motion.

I am saying bad Weigman has shown up once. Coincidentally, it was when he was injured. Maybe, just maybe, that was the cause.
