Very frustrating. I'm not sure how anybody could look at me in the eyes and tell me that the quarterback situation here hasn't been mismanaged. Have no clue if he's the real deal or not, but there's no way he can't at least equal what shapen is currently bringing to the table . When you have 1 three star scholarship quarterback on your roster, you screwed up somewhere.

---

Something's wrong when you recruit 3 Elite 11 level QBs and not one of them is your starter or even with your program 1 year later (Bohanon, Drones and Zeno, who departed 12/21). Someone needs to look at their QB coach and figure out why not 1 of the 3 was developed enough to be good enough to start this year in the eyes of the OC and HC.

---

This, I'm afraid ...

---

Aggies went down this road when they ran off Kyler Murray and Kenny Hill.

Weren't we like the only FBS school who offered Bohanan a role at QB? I'm not really sure his stars even count as QB stars.

Wasn't that the same deal with RG3 coming out of HS?

Thankfully he signed with us and led us to 12 win season, conference championship and sugar bowl victory

RG III definitely was going to Houston, so no that is not the case at all.

The point is that if you are lamenting losing some top ## qb, but we were the only school who wanted him (at that position) then I don't think that loss is really worth comparing to other programs.

Edit - let me be clear that I think it was a bad move to let Bohannan go. You don't let your 10/12 win guy walk like that. He's your QB, but if we are going to start poking at the recruiting history then his story is a bit more complicated than an elite QB that we lost.

I think Briles at UH/BU was one of the few offering him as a QB. Most of the top programs....LSU, UT, Aggy...etc were offering him as an athlete.

It's not about us having an elite QB. It's about a very average one that was chosen to start

A dual-threat with huge upside 📈

Momma telling her son to study. I like that.

The Development of Kyron Drones the last few weeks has been phenomenal, he's quickly becoming a confident and complete QB.

Absolutely the Effe not. That's why he transferred here. I have NO IDEA why so many here can't see it. When you have a common thread on every snap and you lose at home by Texas State and get blasted by Tech and beat feckless Cincinnati by a field goal…
Come at me. Y'all just keep coming with "but some stats…". Win-Loss. That's the stat.

No effing way Shapen could get a QB2 spot any other P5 program. We're not winning with him and we weren't winning with him last year. So come on at me.

I would say an awful take

Bingo, Shawn Bell gets a pass on here from pretty much everyone and I have no idea why. Because he hasn't shown he can develop QBs

---

Agreed. He's milking the nostalgia factor as much as he can.

I can embed a link to his record both this year and last if you can't find it. Let me know.
Yeah, great comeback 4th quarter one time against the 2nd weakest team on our schedule. 1 quarter.

Anyone who denies Shapen's significant improvement in the offseason is completely bad faith at this point.

You do know a quarterback is not an entire team right?

Joe Namath thinks so.........

I think a lot of people don't even know he QB'd here.

He's quick to not let you forget it. Particularly if you're an aggy.
