He’s the kind of guy that wants to drive it into the dirt1997 expedition? You would think he can get a car deal?
Holy moly, his quiet confidence is infectious. I am so amped up for this game now.
but but the genius Mike Leach moved him to wide receiver, he sucks, remember? he has really worked hard to improve his game, and Anae and Beck have done their usual great job with making their QB better.Agreed -- he is so similar to Dungey in terms of his playmaking, but couldn't be more different personality wise. Against UConn, he made a run and as he was getting up, some Husky DL chest bumped him, and got all up in his face.
Dungey would have punched the kid in the face mask.
Shrader brushed the kid past, and didn't even react.
He is really something -- what a fortuitous situation to have him transfer here. Big time QB, and still improving.
My recollection is that the Miss. St. offense is designed for a traditional, drop-back passer, which didn't fit Shrader's dual-threat style. Maybe Devito would have done well there,but but the genius Mike Leach moved him to wide receiver, he sucks, remember? he has really worked hard to improve his game, and Anae and Beck have done their usual great job with making their QB better.
yeah, air-raid definitely calls for a drop back passer, which people ignored and used it as fuel against GS. Granted, he was not a good passer last year, but he was clearly improving before he got hurt at the end of the Va Tech game. Plus, Gilbert is a schmuck of an OC/QB coach, which did not help eitherMy recollection is that the Miss.

Amen brother you and I fought the good fight for a long time on this. I knew this was possible from simply watching his Mississippi State film, I remember yelling to him as he was wandering the sideline flipping the ball in the air at Ohio University, to “hang in there your time will come”Man I’ve loved this kid since we brought him in
Glad everyone else is finally starting to buy in.
I would say 70% of the people on here doubted Shrader because he got moved from QB to WR. But he really just did it because he’s a baller and wanted to be on the field
The moment I knew this kid would change everyone’s opinion of him was that game at Virginia Tech.
Pairing him up with Anae and Beck has made him dangerous and made NFL scouts turn their heads.
We’re in for a special ride with this kid and we are blessed to experience it
I think that 70% was just a vocal minority.Man I’ve loved this kid since we brought him in

Eh, it’s probably good to question a kid who gets moved to WR, while hoping for the best case scenario. No regrets.Man I’ve loved this kid since we brought him in

Exactly. Not every QB is made for every system. This system has been molded around Shrader and that’s why we’re seeing him blossom. And quite frankly with the challenges we’ve had historically in recruiting both the line and QB to make a drop back system work, this type of multi faceted dual threat approach makes the most sense for our program anyway.yeah Garret really isn't a fit for what Mike Leach is doing. Good fit for who recruited him to Miss St in Joe Moorhead. It happens.

I questioned Dungey as a west coast kid with no big offers.
They both proved it where it matters. And we are blessed to experience it
I disagree, if anyone took any time to look into GS from his freshman year….they would have known that the only reason he got switched was because he wasn’t a pocket passer which is what Mike Leach wants.
I mean look at his TRUE FRESHMAN highlights play against some of the best teams in the nation in the SEC. I mean a kid just fresh out of high school and he was already a baller in what is arguably the best football conference.
So when GS got benched for a more Leach friendly QB…. GS does what GS does and did anything he could to get on the field. When GS knew that he could play QB and WR wasn’t a fit for him he entered the portal.
We’re very blessed to have been able to bring him to Cuse.
His leadership alone has been absolutely amazing.
As Cuseregular said, there was a reason both he and I were singing his praises very early on.
Am I dunking on people when I note in my preseason progs above I had us going 6-0 to start the season?! Or is that spiking the ball!?I took the time, watched full games of him playing and still had questions. The QB spot is the hardest to evaluate, lots of professional scouts get it wrong. I saw what you saw - a baller. But he was inconsistent in his throwing motion, too quick to run, and more athlete than QB. Flex if you want, but it’s his development after he got here that is the most impressive and important. That’s on him and Beck.
In the end, dunking on people who took the time to wrestle publicly with the good and the bad of a prospect is poor form. That’s all.
And rest assured, we’re all aboard the Shrader train now
