As far as Reed goes, once LeVeon Moss went down, Reed had to try and become our leading rusher and leading passer. Reed's scrambling was our only effective running play against Texas and Miami plus he was expected to hit his passes. And for those that weren't there, the wind at Kyle for the Miami game was pretty ferocious. I've never seen the uprights in Kyle Field rock all game like that before. There was a reason the Miami kicker missed 3 field goals. Also, Carson Beck didn't light it up either in that wind. On Miami's TD drive he handed the ball off and they drove it down our throats after Regis went out. But Beck didn't do anything but hand the ball off on that drive. Also A&M outgained Miami. Obviously the turnovers killed us but Reed didn't have the option of handing the ball off to a running game that could carry the load. It was all on his shoulders.

We might never know the value of growing with and building a complete experienced QB because the loudest and most frequent social media posters on TexAgs will be screaming for the team to "move on" or screaming "he's not the answer" long before they get to that point.

So they will transfer and develop somewhere else...and we will be working with another freshman or sophomore phenom stuck in learning mode.

Leave it to the dumbest board on texags to prop up their former hero who couldn't complete a pass against ND and is playing against a team of backups in a meaningless bowl.

Conner was benched THIS season. If their backup was even half decent, he'd be transferring again. He was garbage most of the year and struggled to score on.. checks notes.. Oregon State.

---

He scored 36 touchdowns this year. Most in the Big 12. On a team with a projected record of 5-7. Outside of koziol and Thomas the WR that's a very undertalented Houston team

The "benched this season" didn't happen once lmfao

I have absolutely no idea where some of you wackos get your info

We are still playing with Conner or King

This. Sometimes I can't believe the posters here are real people they are so over-the-top filled with hate and anxiety. It would be much easier for me to believe they were just part of some sort of Longhorn psy-ops campaign where one guy with a half dozen sock puppet accounts trolls its rival 24/7 to promote discord and anxiety.

I don't think it's hate. Lots of people just watch a snapshot of someone's career and think that is who they are and who they will be forever and they will loudly make it known that player will always be the same despite evidence to the contrary. They largely ignore everything else

Probably the most plausible explanation

He is sticking around another year to compete with the number one rated quarterback (I think- Kesian Henderson).

I guess we'll see if he can keep the young kid off the field.

We wouldn't have made the CFB playoffs with either King or Weigman this season. Big difference playing ACC and Big 12 defenses as compared to SEC teams in the regular season.

Maybe we just need to stop running QB off when we find a shiny new one. Seems like a pattern for us lately.

We did not run them off
We accidentally broke them

Hopefully better Line play minimizes this going forward

And yet we couldn't beat an ACC team when it mattered most, Mizzou couldn't beat an ACC team when it mattered, and LSU couldn't beat a Big 12 when it mattered most. Get this stupid idea out of your heads that the SEC is superior to any other conference. We played for 12 years in this "superior conference" and along come the horns and we have still yet to beat them. Give it a rest people.

The only game that mattered was our game vs Miami, the rest don't matter to SEC teams.

Awesome for Weigman. Always liked him. Against Texas Tech he was 5-12 for 71 yards with 0 TD and 1 Int. How would that fly on this board?

Haynes had a great year in his 5th in college football. When he was at a similar experience level of Reed how did he do? Again I like him and cheer for him. But this board is really just unfair sometimes.

If Weigman had A&M skill talent around him, it wouldn't fly

A large part of putting up numbers is what you have around you. That's why every QB in the history of football puts up worse numbers against better teams. It's not that they cant play or magically got worse

These comments are scurrilous. Even if they were true it's not like he would be in the minority anyway. It is known however that CW was hurt all of last year and was given pain shots before the games. Being healthy this year is a much more plausible reason for his improvement. I'm happy he had success and it has nothing to do with what I think of Reed.

Reed plays for Texas A&M so I'm team Reed.

I mean he did at one point have the same talent around him as Reed and got clearly beat out. I know I know there are a million excuses as to why. But whomever is our current qb has none…

Congrats to Conner on his success against G6 schools full of 2* and 3* players no other conference wanted. When he played in the SEC, when the games mattered, he was absolute garbage.

This is a Twilight Zone episode. I know it. I know this is the board that absolutely hated weigman and king when they were here. And now we would be oh so much better if they'd only stayed. The mods should just shut this forum down for about six months and let everyone's panties dry out.

The board never truly hated Weigman. They absolutely hated King because Weigman was around. Weigman still has a silent fanbase here which is bizarre. Both are gutty qb's and I'm happy they found some success elsewhere.

Being fat and out of shape after a massive lower extremity injury where you can't do cardio for 6 months will do that to you

Again, it was never a talent problem. His fish year showed that. It was a health and stability issue

Weigman was completely overwhelmed, lost, and hopelessly confused in his last appearance. And that was on top of the embarrassing magician meltdown. There was no salvaging that. He did the only thing he could do and found a fresh start. No one can honestly say he would have ever gotten on his feet again here, and A&M would have been crazy to invest the resources to try to salvage him. This argument is complete revisionist, unrealistic bull***** Like all threads on here these days.

No. he said his statline against Tech wouldn't fly. And I said if he had A&M talent instead of Houston talent around him, then yes

Tech was better than Houston at pretty much every single position outside of like 3 players

I think Weigman beats Miami, but other two not so sure…

I think Connor is much more accurate when moving

---

Are you high? Go watch his last few games as an Aggie.

---

As Elko says... try living in the present, not the past.

Weigman, as of 12/2025 is the better, more accurate QB in many facets. He layers the ball well into all (3) zones accurately. He hits most routes in stride by 3:1 over our current QB, he leads the receivers when moving outside the pocket with accuracy. At this moment he is much more mature and developed than anyone we have.

While here he was trying to play through a throwing shoulder injury, but clearly he's healed, rehabbed, and has his full feel back... it was on display tonight. What really hurt LSU was his ability to put the ball into the hands of his WR's at full speed -- that was effective and made it difficult to defend, even with LSU's speed.

As someone who has injured his throwing shoulder, had to rehab, and get back into top form for competition, I can tell you getting my "feel" back was the most challenging thing. Before my injury I was 8/9 out of 10 from the free throw line... after I was 5/10. I simply could not get range down - with a basketball, football, throwing a baseball. So happy for Connor that he has recovered and he beat a superior talented LSU team with primarily his accurate QB play.

---

It's funny that you compare Weigman's stats (after going 6-3 in Big 12) to Reed's stats (after going 7-1) in the SEC to conclude Weigman is better. Ever heard of comparing apples to oranges?

I love Weigman but he would not have played if he had stayed at A&M. No way.

He needed the change of scenery. It was not going to happen here. Same with King (who still turns the ball over and loses big games).

I like Conner Weigman, but he would not have played much if he had stayed at Texas A&M. He needed a change of scenery, and he found the right fit at Houston.

Conner got pretty banged up at the ND game and never fully recovered. Elephant in the room, we still have a trash offensive line that needs a mobile qb.

Weigman and King would have faced the same defenses that Reed did. Reed was terrible against the only good SEC team we faced. He was atrocious for one half of a terrible SC team.

Maybe next years Reed is better. But this year he was not.

LSU, Florida & Missouri did not have bad defenses. Throw in Notre Dame's defense which was also strong and this entire narrative about only facing one good defense and not performing well is just complete bull**** spin done by people trying to force a narrative.
