Michael Van Buren back in the portal. Probably deserves to start somewhere by now, but would love to have him as a solid backup option here

Genuine question, its seems year after year as far as I can remember, going back to the late 90s with Mark Farris. Aggies always seem to lack at the QB spot. Except for JF, why do the Aggies struggle year after year at the QB spot. Are we not recruiting will at that position. .Do we not have the coaches that can develop these quarterbacks?

Other schools seem to recruit absolute studs or ballars. Aggies juat seem to get a guy that can just do enough or bare minimum. Its frustrating to watch year after year.

Kyle Allen and Kyler Murray were absolute stud recruits

Izaiah Williams is in the portal

Wish it was Bussey instead. Izaiah showed some potential when given the opportunity. But as a poster above said, his former position coach is now the OC so I trust the process.


I like Bussey, but I hope we RS him in '26. He can come back as a gadget WR/RB, along with KR/PR.

His NFL potential is an Eric Metcalf-type...
no chance he is gonna redshirt, unless hurt.

Bond was 83% overall in 2024, and only missed 1 under 40 and 2 between 40-49. Was 2/3 over 50. Point being, you don't necessarily know what you're going to get year to year. Really the main difference this year for him was missing one more kick in the 40-49 range and going 0/3 on kicks over 50. In my opinion, Coach shouldn't have messed with his confidence by putting Zirkel in.
I only agree bc zirkel's kicks suck. It wasn't a fluke him missing. Not sure what they saw in practice.

A&M has not had a problem recruiting talented quarterbacks. A&M has a problem playing quarterbacks too young and not letting them develop. We get impatient when a freshman plays like a freshman. And we move onto the next highly recruited quarterback.
People are quick to criticize our sophomore quarterback who made some sophomore mistakes. He will get better and the game will slow down for him.

Is that what Indiana did?

Reed is 21 yo, will be 22 yo before fall camp starts, just finished his third season at A&M, has thrown 653 passes in college, and just played his worst month of college football.

Reed is a "fine" SEC QB, but I suspect the crown of his head is very close to bumping that ceiling.

The thing is, by games 12 and 13 of the season you are no longer a "sophomore."
A good QB/team shouldn't look its worst to end the year.

What year is it? 2015? 2016?

This is absolutely not the issue any more. Jimbo held on to Mond till he was a senior. Our QB troubles after that were injury-related, not some misguided QB musical chairs to find the most talented guy. Marcel now is going into his 4th year with the program


If you're arguing that the anti-Marcel lobby specifically is cutting bait too soon, just say that instead
