Mendoza is a Heisman qb. Runs when there is space open.
But the best thing he does is almost every pass is exactly where it needs to be.
We must have a more accurate throwing qb.

I agree. Mike Leach was right in that you can't teach accuracy. You can make little adjustments to footwork and mechanics to help, but you are either accurate or you aren't.

I totaly agree that correct foot placement and arm mechanics for accurate throws is absolutely essential. Just like in golf if your back swing and twisting motion being different every swing and your hits are awful.

The real question can a qb cleanup all the bad mechanics to become accurate? I don't think so. By the time they are in college the bad habits are probably ingrained.

Correct. Marcel this year will be Marcel next year. He isn't getting better

Mendoza sophomore year.

Completed 68.7% of his passes for 3,004 yards, 16 touchdowns, and 6 interceptions in 13 games for Cal

You don't even have to be a great runner - hell, the announcers said Mendoza runs like a baby giraffe. Isn't that how we used to describe Haynes running every time he'd tuck and run?

You just have to be effective.

I'm hoping Reed has a Mond-esque improvement next year

If by "be Marcel" you mean dominate LSU again, beat a top 10 team on the road again and carry us to the playoffs again, I hope you're right!

I really hope Reed is not the qb next year and we get a better qb in the portal. I don't think Reed can take us where we want to go…

Chambliss is really setting a standard. At no point this year (even mizzou and LSU ) did Reed look anything close to zoned in like this.

Missouri and LSU = not good teams in 2025. Don't think we can get to where we want to be with Reed.

Chambliss = can throw

Reed = can't throw

The same Reed that is 0-2 vs sips and 0-1 in a home playoff game

Reed needs to work on extending plays IMO. This is what made Johnny great, he would move out of pocket and buy time for receivers to get open.

Chambliss just did it for Ole Miss.

Marcel has the skill set, but more often than not when a play breaks down he just looks to run north-south, not get out of the pocket and really extend a play before taking off.

It's not gonna happen. Look at Chambliss and Stockton. We've now learned, after watching post-season games, that Reed pales in comparison to SEVERAL quarterbacks on less-talented, less-renowned teams.

The same Reed who airmails wide open receivers and can't throw vs zone defense.

Reed is fine and will be our QB next season.

All this focus on Reed is wrong.

The real focus should be seeing if that Ole Miss kicker enters the portal.

I think folks are mistaken in comparing Reed against Trinidad. That dude is built like a running back and has a laser arm. They aren't in the same conversation, physically, and thus can't have the same playstyles.

You just said we need a much better qb.

Reed threw for 61% in 2024
Reed threw for 62% in 2025

That was with adding what appears to be two WRs that will play on Sundays
