think about this


tim tebow throws the UGLIEST BALL i have ever seen, and does not have a strong arm. tim tebow is an outstanding runner. time tebow is the best leader i have ever seen


shep is criticized for not being able to throw the ball, which i feel is total horseshite from the start, ive seen him throw the football, he can throw it just fine. shep is a BETTER runner than tebow all things considered, mainly his weight. and there is no doubt in my mind shep can become the same leader that he is, as evidenced by his practices in recruiting players before he even stepped on campus


my question is, why can shep not get on the field, and why cant he play qb. with the talent this team has at the skill positions, this offense, dare i say it, could be UNSTOPPABLE with him out there at qb


and please, before you bash away at the comparison, please read the post. i am in no way shape or form saying they are on the same level right now. but the same exact things that are said about tebow are being said about shep, yet tebow got to play as a freshman, WAS THE REASON FLORIDA BEAT LSU(outside of the five turnovers) bc urban let him pass the ball for the first time against us


anyone else see this?

i prefer a q.b. that will read a defense, go through progressions, and make an accurate throw. only problem is the line doesn't provide enough time right now.

Just give him the Vince young treatment(from 2005, not 2004).

Run zone reads out of the shotgun. Play action off of this, give him 2 passing options and if they're not there tuck it and run.

Yes and I saw it throughout recruiting. This kid is a leader for sure and he is a player. I think it is foolish for a coach to think a freshmen can't be a leader.

This kid has a great personality, he handles himslef well, is always upbeat and positive and those are some of the characteristics of a leader.

I hated to see y'all get this kid because I think he is so good. He has to be given a chance in order to have a positive impact on the players around him. I think they have to figure out a way to get this kid on the field and get the ball in his hands. I think he is one of those players that can have an impact on the team just because he is on the field.

I really like this kid.

I do....I kind of feel that all the stops arent being pulled out. 10 to 3 or 40 to 3 is the same result...a loss. Why not give the kid a shot?
Im pretty sure this dude was pretty young when this was happening....

people criticized Vince Young's throwing ability also.. then he went on to change the culture of the Texas program, change Mack Brown's approach towards his players, and win a national title.. all while throwing an ugly ball..

its so hard for me to understand how the coaches dont get this.. if the QB is a SERIOUS threat running, then the WRs will be open.. you dont need Joe Montana like precision to hit Riley Cooper when he has no one within 15 yds of him..

No one has any idea.

Miles doesn't trust freshman? I dunno...

I totally agree with the op. Shep has all the skills. Leadership and athletic. He is not a JOJO Lafell kinda guy. He does not need three years to reach his potential. His potential could come to light in a matter of touches not seasons. He is a guy you make a priority to work in the game. Not when its convenient.
