I’m not saying he’s going to WIN the heisman, but I do think he’ll be invited to the ceremony. Print the bumper stickers.
He did including 1hit when we were up like 35. He gained about 7 extra yards instead of just running out of bounds. A mediocre running game didn't help.
Game 1 he demonstrated better than average decision making and was a + QB. I am sure he knows he has some things to improve. I also think he has another good game this Saturday.
My biggest fear. There is only one of him and he did not appear to be the sliding to safety type. SEC defenses may render him unavailable if that doesn't change.
I don’t think it’s crazy to think he’ll have a good year given Lebby’s track record with QB’s and some very positive flashes in Week 1.
This is an important point. Our traditional run game needs to be good to keep Shapen from toting the rock too often. In the past Lebby has shown that he will increase designed QB runs to supplement the run game if he has to. Thats going to increase the hits on Shapen if we have to go that route. I'm not taking too much from week 1 just yet because we were very vanilla BUT you should still have success against a FCS opponent picked to finish last in their division. We got very little push. Its a brand new OL so they will gel as the season progresses but the concerning thing is our big swing games are not later in the season. They are coming up in the next few weeks. These next three games will likely make or break our season.
Same thing as I saw, already above average above the shoulders and will only get better this year
When he stayed healthy, he was a all BIg12 QB.
I can't, but I did add it to the other 25 games he played at Baylor. I also took this into consideration: "Finished his career ranked second in Baylor history in completion percentage (.637)"
This is the red flag I saw. A lot to like about him, but against SEC defenses this flaw will be fatal if not corrected. Not trying to be a negative nancy, but this is concerning for a QB in his senior season.
