[QUOTE="Uncle_Frog, post: 2624238, member: 72572"] Shawn isn’t a raw recruit just getting going though. Look at the top QBs in CFB right now and many of them are underclassman. We just played back-to-back sophomores QBs who played great games with no turnovers (4 and 12ish starts). QBs come into college today FAR more prepared than in years past with camps, 7-on-7, and the advancement of high school offenses. QBs don’t need to be 5th year seniors anymore to be successful like they did 30 years ago—and a quick looks at the past Heisman QBs will illustrate that shift. Shawn is a coaches kid and has spent two full spring and fall practices at TCU. He played in several games last year and even started one on the road. He has plenty of experience not to make the terrible mistakes he’s made the last two games. I don’t think anyone is asking him to carry the team, but his mistakes have cost us the last two games and it’s not wrong to point that out. He is our guy and has a ton of talent but he has to take care of the ball better or all the talent in the world won’t matter. TCU is a top tier program right now. Other top programs don’t give up seasons to allow their QBs to develop. We shouldn’t either. I hope he turns it around as he seems like a great guy and has a lot of upside, but I’m surprised Gary has given him such a long leash so far. [/QUOTE]
