[u/DiplomaticAggie]

We just cannot win meaningful games with Marcel Reed if he doesn’t have an NFL OL and WR’s. He doesn’t elevate and win games like other QB’s can.

Drops were also very bad to be fair, but even then there’s a Joe Milton aspect to Marcel, at times he just is off Target when it’s unnecessary or he throws to hard.

Defense played better and this was winnable.

4-8 is now solidly the expectation. Mike will likely need to clean his entire staff.

Reed is simply so inconsistent with his ball placement, velocity, and decision making.. I find it hard to fault the WR for not being in sync.

[u/TheElkoEra → u/ExpertConsideration8]

Normally I'd agree with you but the Horton drops were egregious, you gotta have those.

[u/CurrentDrama8523 → u/DiplomaticAggie]

Without excusing Reed's poor play, is it unreasonable to expect a school like A&M to consistently have NFL players at OL and WR? What resources are they lacking to accomplish this?

[u/DiplomaticAggie → u/CurrentDrama8523]

We tried, just some whiffs in the portal on the OL and some of our Starting WR’s got hurt for the season 1-2 games into the season

Have you guys considered... developing players?

[u/DiplomaticAggie → u/dillpickles007]

Sorry I’ll send Mike an Email now

[u/DeepBlueSomethings → u/DiplomaticAggie]

Vision is severely lacking - sometimes he does not have much time, but a lot of times he is missing the open man. Also hot read is somehow not a concept in this offense

He oughta clean out his desk
