What gives you hope that he can become a better more accurate passer and decision maker in big games?
Next year other teams will have more film on him and he is at his ceiling if you ask me.
Time to portal in a stud that can make it happen. If Reed could make the easy plays we wouldn't need his heroics every damn game to win.

What I would love is to bring in a QB that can throw and then use Reed in special situations, but two problems with that:

1. I don't think we replace a starting QB that won 11 games for us, even as horrific as the last two games were.

2. If we bring in someone else, Reed is assuredly gone.

It won't matter who our QB is if we don't find a running game

We can replace Reed just like we can fire a coach who isn't performing.

Nothing.
He has not matured in his decision making ability in critical moments.
In my opinion his overall throwing accuracy has not improved.
He throws way too many pics.
I was very concerned that the interception he threw at the end of the game was exactly what he was going to do.
How many times has he done that this year?
Why the hell he didn't try running the ball at least once.

Sign Lagway for whatever we're paying Reed. Today was a terrible performance. As was tu. As was USCe.

The last INT was a good read but terrible throw. Good throw was a TD.

Lagway is not the answer. He is bad.

Reed is done. Two big opportunities. 2 turds.

You can't go into things knowing he's going to miss dump passes and throw picks in big games.

He was playing the game with no feel or trust or timing.

Like Artorias said, good read, bad throw at the end.

You can learn timing though, so I think he can be a heisman.

Will he? no idea.

Breaking in an OL with nobody like Moss at RB doesn't make me too optimistic. Those facts had me feeling bad about our prospects no matter how the season ended.

It all hinges on how well Elko does in the portal. You get the Craver's and Concepcion's of those positions, then I'll start thinking about Reed.

He seems to be worse in his decision making… the only reason he is slightly better this season is Craver/Concepcion. They made up for a lot of deficiencies he has.

And he didn't even HAVE TO throw that ball. It was 3rd down and we had one more play. But no, let's try to jam a ball in there. Bad decision and bad throw.

Elko thinks Reed is elite & that the scheme is explosive


You will see more of the exact same next year, except with a rebuilt oline and an oc that's never called plays before

The offensive philosophy was more pass-oriented this year. That's the main difference.

For what it's worth, Reed improved some over the offseason. Just not enough to cut it against good teams

Lagway might not be the answer but neither is Reed. I'd gladly give him the shot

He's a redshirt sophomore. Probably needs a little more slack than if he was an upperclassman with multiple years starting. Easy to forget he wasn't even the starter last year until he replaced Weigman for 8 games.

He may not pan out and probably should have a shorter leash next year if he doesn't take the next step.

When Reed is decisive and sets his feet, he is very good. He did improve this year but regressed when the moments grew big. There was a lot of experience along the offensive line but they were just average. Much better at pass protection than run blocking. Hoping the next line has better balance and has been just maturing as most lineman need a year or 2 to prepare their bodies. We likely have the rb's but the o line has to make creases. None to speak of today.

should have run on 3rd with 6 in the box, Plenty of time to run the last play. But with no TO's it's harder to get adjustments in.

Reed may be at Tulane.

He will be better. His comp is Mond. He will have the same trajectory.

This. I agree with the OP, I think he is as good as he is going to get.

I think Reed has the ability, just doesn't have the skills honed in.

You can't get to where he is at with his stats overall by not having ability. Hopefully the new coaches can fine tune him.

With him- it's the little things that are killers…. Screen pass at the RB's feet, wide open receivers over/under thrown in crucial situations, happy feet in the pocket and late decisions…..

Dude, Lagway is much worse than Reed.

TBH I don't have much faith in Reed being more accurate.

MAYBE if he gets the happy feet when pressured under control he could improve accuracy.

IMO, what he could do to improve is decide to run sooner. Seems like there were times this season 5-10 yards were there with a scramble, but he was still trying to make a pass. IMO, he's not accurate enough to do that.

Half the time, he can't even hit checkdowns with a good pass.

Reed reminds so much of Jerrod

great athlete
strong arm
very mobile

but a turnover machine -- and that's what Reed is

12 interceptions vs. P4 opponents -- not good

(and only 15 TD passes vs. P4 opponents)

Lagway is big, fast, and very athletic. We need a good quarterback coach and tweak our offensive scheme a bit to take advantage of Lagways talent. He has a cannon for an arm and is physical and tough. Why waste another season hoping Reed will improve and he's only has one more season. We're wasting time and money. We've seen the best he has to give and it's not good enough to compete for a championship. Nine turnovers in our last three games won't cut it. We were dominated against tu and Miami. Hit the portal now before we become Mississippi State.

Craver is pretty certain to be back next year I think

Lagway was an interception machine this year.
