247 Gives Garrett Shrader Some Love

[Symphony Steve]

I've been thinking for awhile that he could AT LEAST be a clipboard holder in the NFL. 247 has taken note of his early-season exploits:

"Garrett Shrader, QB, Syracuse


The best dual-threat QB in college football right now? It’s likely Shrader, whose play is the biggest reason Syracuse sits at 4-0. Shrader is doing everything well right now. He’s completing a career-high 66.7% of his passes. He’s averaging a career-high 9 yards per attempt. He’s averaging a career high 6.9 yards per carry. If Syracuse needs Shrader to throw, as he did for 286 yards against Army, he’s done so capably. If Syracuse needs him to run, like he did for 195 yards against Purdue, he’ll put a defense into a tizzy. Can Syracuse keep up this momentum in ACC play? We'll see. But Shrader has established himself the last two years as one of the better QBs in all of college football."

Here's the full article on college players who have opened some eyes so far this season:

Star Status: College football players breaking out and making big leaps in 2023

There are always a new wave of stars who emerge each season. Some players take a small leap to among the best in the sport, some rocket from anonymity to the moon. These are the on-the-rise players who've helped define the season thus far.

one of the pundants today was all in on the shrader rushing prop this weekend.

To win this week he probably needs to go full Josh Allen, but if he gets jacked up the season could be lost.

Was discussing this with a fellow SU fan this week. If Shrader played for USC, he'd be considered a Heisman finalist candidate / high round draft pick.

Needs to stay upright for a full season.

Kid is Superman.

Win or Loss saturday, get Shrader into the ice bath and recovery room immediately. I'm sure he'll need some R&R after.

Yeah we have some crucial guys(and lost one for the season already) but to say he is far and away the most important player on the roster is not even doing it justice

According to ESPN which listed the top 25 QB to win Heisman according to odds set by Las Vegas, he is the 24th.

I lost all faith in the heisman after the 1987 con job. Who cares who wins it.

He’s done what was expected, he’s a plus athlete doing plus athlete things to opponent’s he should be doing it to. If he were to lead SU on a historic run the next three, then he’d earn that type of attention.

He’s really good, that’s about all you can say at this point

That’s about right.

 

[blust2i3d4]

That’s about right.

I think he should be in top 15 QB this year, at least top 20. The 24th seems low.

Allen flakes out in big spots. Garrett is a warrior.

So true, we’re about to find out what all our players are made of but Garrett most of all

 

[David332]

I don’t know if Shrader has NFL talent or not, but I will casually follow that man wherever he goes after here. Whether it’s the NFL or a Spring league.

I’m pretty sure it’s mostly water.

Ignoring @KC in AFCC gane

 

[OrangeTarheel]

I’m pretty sure it’s mostly water.

We will drown our opponents in Shredder water.

(Sounds gross)

Don McPherson was on Brent Axe’s show yesterday and he said hopefully by the end of this season Shrader will solidly himself in the top 5 SUFB QBs of all time.

Leading the team to a victory over Clemson would go a LONG way toward cementing that legacy.
