    that is absolutely revisionist history.

    he went from an extremely talented team his jr year to one that was significantly less talented his senior year.

    oh yeah, and he was flat out not good his senior year either.

    i mean, he has played QB for basically his whole life and has 2 full years of college under his belt.

    you should go write 9.95er columns for TexAgs or OB with that kind of take.

    It’s my understanding that he played through that shoulder injury. It’s not uncommon for QBs who’ve sustained serious injuries to gradually learn how to better protect themselves when they scramble. Of course it doesn’t always happen, but don’t pretend he can’t learn new things at his age.

    Achane is a good player but he's also small. He's never going to be a workhorse type back. 

    For as much as Jimbo likes to run the ball they better find another RB. 

    Right, he’s nothing close to someone like Dalvin Cook. Between Johnson, Daniels, and Moss, they’ll have plenty of options for a secondary back.

    Weigman is a stud but not sure his career path is football and he certainly won't be ready in that offense as a true FR. 

    You are drastically overvaluing Haynes King. His SR year was not good, he's an erratic passer, and look at the teams that wanted him in recruiting. It was meh P5 programs like Tennessee who were battling A&M for King. 

     

    Your point about Weigman liking baseball more could be true, but I see no reason to believe that. I don't follow TX HSFB closely, so I don't know anything about his personal life. I just watch his highlights and listen to those who I personally know that have seen him in person. Didn't King have a fairly serious shoulder injury his senior year? That'd make his senior season matter less but also increase the injury concerns y'all have. Idk, I just think he can avoid further significant injuries as he learns how to better play the position. Again, y'all disagree and that's fine.

    For someone claiming to not be an aggie fan you sure know a lot about the inner workings and nuances of aggie football.

    I graduated from a university without an FBS team and found shaggy back in 2017 (I think, it could've been 2016). I think there are enough intelligent and knowledgeable people here to have decent enough arguments/discussions. One of my closest friends is a rabid A&M alumnus, and I try to filter the info he gives me into an accurate interpretation of their team. I simply believe they have a very talented roster, and that many wins eventually come as you accumulate talent at a top 5 level (they will likely fit that bill when their '22 class signs). Everyone here clearly disagrees with me (which is understandable).

    yeah but those weren't his fault or something/george clooney, probably

    I won't pretend to have watched that game, so I don't base my opinion of him on it. I think he's a very athletic developmental QB prospect who can execute their offense at Mond's level in '20 with more experience/reps. Weigman has a much higher ceiling, but will be a true freshman next season so it's unrealistic to think he'll be better than King next season (but would be better than Calzada). Calzada being a strange take is one of the few popular opinions on here that I agree with. He was very inaccurate in HS for a P5 commit, and I don't think it mattered that his team supposedly stunk.

    Liucci is a biased idiot when it comes to anything other than aggy but I trust his team reports. He's just reporting what the coaching staff tells him. Generally speaking, I think Liucci is a good source on aggy news when it comes to position battles, injuries, coaching hires, etc. 

     

    Then I guess we just disagree here. I think he's in the business of portraying their team in the best light possible and likely gets little bits of info here and there. I think it's plausible that he talks with some of their football admin fairly often. It's hard to trust any team beat writer/9.95er if they aren't being more pessimistic than their fan base at large.

  7. 21 minutes ago, texasstrong12 said:

    The spin you keep making is just sad at this point. 

    Even Liucci said the QB battle was a coin flip and that Calzada/King were splitting first team reps in Fall camp.

    You do understand Liucci did that to portray their roster in the best light possible right? That battle was not close.

    1) Yes. Jimbo has been awful in SEC road games. He's 7-8 in SEC road games at A&M and he has to play @ Miss State, @ Alabama, @ South Carolina, and @ Auburn next season. 

    2) Assuming he somehow goes 2-2 in those games above he would then have to win all of Florida, LSU, Ole Miss, Arkansas (neutral field), and Miami. Jimbo went 0-3 against those teams this year. 

    3) You're drastically undervaluing personnel losses. They've recruited well on the DL but there will definitely be a drop off as they will be replacing almost all their production. Even Liucci has said next year's defense is going to be almost a complete rebuild. Personally, I don't think aggy's defense is that spectacular without an elite DL which they will completely be replacing. aggy loses to LSU by about 20 points this year if not for Leal, Clemons and Peavy. 

     

     

    1) Those 8 losses with year-end SP+ ratings in parentheses: '18 Alabama (36.3), '18 Miss St (23.2), '18 Auburn (23.6), '19 Georgia (26.8), '19 LSU (33.1), '20 Alabama (28.3), '21 Ole Miss (16.9 as of last week), '21 LSU (5.9 as of last week). That's seven good to great teams and one bad team. At most two of those road teams will be good next year, so I like their chances of going at least 2-2 there.

    2) The three teams on that list who beat them this year will be of similar strength or worse next year. I like their chances in each of those games.

    3) Don't you view Liucci as a dumbass? It's strange how you suddenly respect his opinion when it fits your narrative. Clemons has a seventh year of eligibility if he wants to use it btw. Leal is fantastic and will be an early pick, so that's a tough replacement. Peevy is an above average DL who is a late-round pick. Between Tyree Johnson, McKinnley Jackson, Shemar Turner, Fadil Diggs, Adarious Jones, possibly Clemons, Donell Harris, Jahzion Harris, Isaiah Raikes, Adeleye, Burris, Jeudy, Nolen, and their future '22 commits, they have tons of options to replace Leal and Peevy's lost production. You're drastically underrating Edgerrin Cooper, Antonio Johnson, Tyreek Chappel, and Jardin Gilbert as well. Your last sentence is hyperbolic and assumes they have no talented players behind those guys.

    You do realize King and Calzada were nose to nose in the QB battle in Fall camp right? Meaning King wasn't much better than Calzada. This isn't a good argument unless you expect a true FR to be ready in a complicated system next year (good luck with that). 

    This is blatantly wrong. It was portrayed that way because Jimbo didn't want Calzada to transfer (leaving him Stowers and Bost for the backup job).

  10. 8 minutes ago, Michael Knight said:

    Sounds like the same bullshit they said last year.

    They underperformed this year because of King getting injured in Denver. You can criticize Jimbo for not having a better backup, but my bet is predicated upon Calzada not starting again.

    aggy has finished 10-2 or better one time in the last 24 seasons and they're losing all their best players. 

    That bet is kind of hilarious because nobody thinking rationally would believe aggy is going 10-2 or better next season based on aggy's history, tougher schedule, Jimbo's results the last 7 years, and all the aggy attrition. 

    I think aggy's over/under will be set at something like 7.5 next season. 

    They'll lose Spiller, Leal, Wydermyer, O'Neal, and Green. Achane is better than Spiller, and Jardin Gilbert is better than O'Neal. They've recruited very well on the DL so the Leal and Peevy (as well as possibly Clemons) departures won't matter all that much. There's no way their win total will be that low btw. Ole Miss will lose Corral (they'll take a huge step back in every offensive metric as a result), LSU is possibly in deep shit and won't have a viable QB next year, Harsin is tanking Auburn's talent level across the board, and UF has huge holes at edge rusher, LB, S, and WR. They get all of their non-conference games at home (App St will be the toughest of them all), so it's hard to see them losing a single home game as a result.

    Do you really think they're going to lose to at least 3 of Alabama, Arkansas, Miss St, Auburn, UF, Ole Miss, and LSU? Burks' NFL departure will hit Arkansas hard because of how talented he is plus their lack of non-freshman options there. Leach has Miss St in a good spot and that very well might be their second-toughest game assuming Emerson, Pickering, Brule, and Wheat return. Alabama will improve assuming Saban upgrades at OC (and possibly DC). I've already covered the other four so no need to rehash. You seem smart enough to realize that Calzada held them back this year, and there was never a legitimate competition at QB all through the offseason. Their win total will likely be set at 9.5 once again.

    Hilarious. This guy is such a tool. He's spends all this time arguing aggy is on the verge of becoming a powerhouse now he's like "well if Jimbo picks a shitty QB I don't think they will be very good." What a bitch. 

    I'm still taking the bet because they aren't going 10-2 with any QB next season. 

    Again, you lack basic reading comprehension skills. Jimbo will not willingly pick Calzada to be their starter in August (because there was never a legitimate competition to begin with this August). I've laid out the terms and will commit to sending immamac the money if they're met (which is extremely likely).

  13. 1 minute ago, Rickylovesweed said:

    I'm in either way because aggy isn't going 10-2 next year with what they're losing. So $1k it is and don't disappear this time next season. 

    I can already tell you're going to bitch out though when Calzada ends up being the QB at some point next season. I have it on record to show your bitchasness now. 

    How would I bitch out? I laid out the terms that include both of us committing right before the season. Just relax, but it sounds like you're secretly worried so easier said than done.

  14. 1 minute ago, Rickylovesweed said:

    I'm not doing any of this bullshit about the QBs because you're already setting up "the bet doesn't count because the QB was injured in the 2nd game." 

    I'm in for $1k but that rides no matter who the QB is....bitch. 

    I'm quite literally not setting that up. If King (or Weigman) is their projected starter (which will be the case if they're healthy) the night before their first game, then both of us will send immamac the money to later disburse. That's extremely likely to happen, so it's weird that you're so mad.

  15. 2 minutes ago, Rickylovesweed said:

    What a bitch. If Jimbo picks Calzada to be the QB that's your problem. 

    Take the bet bitch. You don't get to dictate the bet on who you think should start at QB. 

    He won't pick Calzada because he didn't this August. King will start if he's healthy unless Weigman is especially precocious. If Calzada isn't their projected starter in August (which would only happen because of another unlikely injury), then I'll take your money. Also, sure I do get to dictate a bet with some obsessive lunatic based on my terms. I'm not saying it'd be void if Calzada were ever to start (which would be bullshit); I'm saying that I'd like to know who is supposed to start their season before I make the bet. I'd be down to up it to $1000 if you're interested in that.

    None of this bullshit of "If King/Weigman are projected to start." 

    Take the bet or not. If Calzada is the QB next season that's how it goes bitch. 

    Why the fuck would I agree that? Calzada is horrible, and I set the terms. Take it or leave it.

    They've now lost at least 4 games in 3 out of 4 years under Jimbo bitch. Somehow you think their floor is only 3 losses. 

    You and Bruh ever going to stop being pussies and take my bet? 

    Sure, just so you can avoid getting admitted to a mental institution. If King/Weigman are projected to start for them in August of next year, then I'll gladly take your money. Set a reminder if it helps.

    That would be the ultimate FU move - rank Cincy over ND all season in the CFP, both teams win this weekend, Cincy plays an extra CCG game and wins it, then the CFP swaps ND and Cincy's spots in the final CFP rankings.

    They wouldn't do that. Follow @cfbmatrix and @cfb_professor on twitter to find out more about the committee's framework. Cincy has an opportunity to add two more quality wins (any team above .500 according to the committee) and a top 25 win while ND can only add a win against sub-.500 Stanford.

    Jimbo ruined the unit. He hired Trickett because Trickett who favored long lean athletic guys - think TEs turned OTs, etc ... and then Jimbo proceeded to fill his room with fat ass cubes on the recruiting trail, because Jimbo fucking LOVES giant bodied OL guys in his old school heart. It was like hiring Mike Leach and then only recruiting wishbone players. Henson's time with Jimbo started the same way, but Henson has somehow broken through the wall and started to get guys in that can move. 

    I'll trust your perspective here. What's your opinion on A&M having a 3 loss floor going forward?
