In 14 years since Manziel, A&M has had 12 different players start at QB, and one of them (Kellen Mond) started for 4 full seasons.

How the fuck can this program not find (and keep) a good QB

Edit: because some of y'all are missing the point, I bring up Mond starting 4 years because if you remove him then we have 11 total QBs across 10 years. And then if you remove Reed we have 10 QBs across 8 years

Culture. You can see Reeds been partying all offseason and that’s been true from every QB Johnny included. Unless they come with discipline of their own, I am convinced our alumni structure sets these kids up for failure. There’s a reason there’s a bunch of QB transfers that do well elsewhere.

[u/gmwdim → u/dasg98]

You guys might have had one last chance but then Reed went 0/5 on that final drive. Just not even close.

[u/MikeOfAllPeople → u/gmwdim]

Is Reed really that bad or should we be suspicious?

[u/busche916 → u/MikeOfAllPeople]

He’s never been up to par against quality competition.

[u/Hawk13424 → u/dasg98]

I think King was good. Just couldn’t stay healthy, even at GT.

[u/TripleThreatTua → u/Hawk13424]

King and Weigman were both good. Just for teams other than A&M

[u/bigdaddyice69 → u/dasg98]

Nothing to do with piss poor development??

[u/handpipeman → u/dasg98]

I actually think this is a good take.

[u/loan_broker → u/dasg98]

Its your fanbase and boosters are unable to tell what an elite QB looks like. YOu were content with the last 285 mediocre QBs and dreamed a CFP appearance at the start of every season.

[u/OffTheDelt → u/dasg98]

I think a lot of it has to do with expectations and pressure. We are a program as piss poor as Iowa, but have the expectation of a program like Georgia. That does not correlate at all. That discrepancy affects our players mindset. Being successful here is just hard, despite the resources and money.

[u/archenlander → u/dasg98]

Yeah I don’t see a way for yall to find a path out of your wretched culture, have fun always falling short of preseason expectations

[u/mrmoneyinthebanks → u/archenlander]

It will take the Boomers in charge dying to even start thinking about change, so another 20 years or so

[u/CzechHorns → u/mrmoneyinthebanks]

You are putting a lot of faith in the longevity of these boomers

[u/tullbabes → u/CzechHorns]

Only the good die young
