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.

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.
