I was hoping the Conner would at least start the game yesterday so the pressure wouldn't be all on Reed.

A. Is he injured?
B. Is he shell shocked from a previous injury?
C. Is he in his own head and can'tget out?

Either way we need him back desperately,

He's not going through his progressions and seeing the field. His timing is way off and he's not anticipating open receivers.

He's got the yips. It's 100% mental with him. Elko knew it was a problem in the Notre Dame game and left him out there in an attempt to get him over it. It didn't work. Riding the pine for three weeks snapped him out of it for the Mizzou game. Then we had a bye week and he regressed. Every week somebody on here posts about how CW had a great week of practice and come game time, he's back to terrible. It's all in his head.
Give me the guy who shoots for excellence and fails over the guy who shoots for mediocrity and succeeds.

This is true. But we've done him no favors. It's been a revolving door of OC'c and offensive philosophies since he got here. I truly feel for the kid. There is an alternate universe where he is developed properly and actually has a productive career.

Mentally not seeing the game and never really the same since injury. Sometimes sees the right read, but happy feet and doesn't step thru throws or happy feet and runs when shouldn't. Way too many analysts see the same thing where is missing the reads and pre-reads.

Now, coaching staff has embedded further doubt on his status and just don't see him staying (unknown, but expect him to move to fresh scenery and no competition pushing him). Klein's off always predicated on run oriented (what Elko wants to control clock...similiar to Jimbo's thoughts), use of TEs (which just not seeing) and a running QB (not a Marcel, but typically enough to keep chains moving).

Think Klein has tried to change to fit CW and CW just didn't adapt (again, playing too fast in his head and pre-panicking and tunnel vision, late on throws and then poor mechanics).

Inconsistency from him and everyone around him in the passing game. Bisontis being out vs. LSU did not help. He had a lot of pressure. WR can't get open vs man. He seems to get rattled by the big moments. After his one TD drive vs LSU he looked more releived than excited on the sideline.

I think Connor is fed up with football. At least at A&M. The Jimbo experience and then the back and forth he has now would wear anybody out, He needs a new start.

The QB position of Aggie football is a crucible precious few can endure, much less thrive in. Let's just hope that Marcell can/does...he's made a good start!

In poker, that would be a tell....

Here, it's open to conjecture, but it's certainly not meaningless. Time will tell. These are semi-pros we're dealing with here. It's business, like it or not. (and I don't)

He's out of shape mentally and physically. I suspect he's done at A&M no matter how bad Reed plays.

Too much time off the last couple of years, lost his magic.

Maybe he finds it, maybe not

And not sure why this is still being brought up. Reed wasn't the issue last night.

Non-smart football fans blame the quarterback (or the backup quarterback) instead of wondering why we kept running the same incompetent scheme on defense and letting South Carolina gash up outside the tackles repeatedly.

If South Carolina had stopped inexplicably passing the ball in the 4th quarter, they might have put 400 yards rushing on us instead of "only' 286.

This. And his body language is terrible. Dude has checked out so time to move on.

I'm hoping we see Henderson against New Mexico. Not for any controversy just he's the next man up.

On one hand I do agree. On the other; there are examples of qb's playing great at one school, and transferring to another school and still playing great in a new system.

Nobody is blaming the QB - especially Conner - for the blowout loss last night.

Feel likes he's got some type of ptsd from what he had to go through the last two years. Would explain his crazy feet. You have to lose some trust with yourself due to getting beat up for two years straight. Sucks but we can blame adzaddio

He's just not very good. But it doesn't matter what I think. It matters what Elko thinks. Didn't Elko pound his chest and berate everyone who criticized CW after he had a good game against Mizzou??

And that's the problem. Elko has not accurately assessed CW, the most important position of the team. Too early for an extension.

That's because he was not engaged in the game at all.
He already knows he's headed to the portal.
It's written all over his face and body language.

Reed was not THE problem, but he was certainly one of the problems. If you think he played well, not sure what game you watched. He has major gaps in his game

That was interesting.

Lots of different thoughts with that one.

Should help everyone move on from him.

I liked that Reed did the PC immediately after the loss. Continues showing leadership. We need that at QB.

Of course he is. Elko has benched him twice. Once that happens with any QB, they are done at that school.

And yes, it was twice. It was not his shoulder that got him benched the first time. It was other areas. It's the reason Elko had a one on one with him prior to letting him get a second chance.

Agree

And similar to Moose it's on him. Because everyone else on the team is developing and improving so he clearly did not do what was needed in the offseason to be ready to play. Once the season gets here it's to late to try and catch up.


For the guy that said it's on the revolving door at OC and coaches. Everyone else on offense looks better. So they are able to take good coaching in one year and develop. Can't really blame that one. Elko says it's what you do when no one is watching that makes the difference.

Probably harmless but the look gave me the impression he was hiding his face and seemed not team like but whatever. Hes finished.
