Tommy was not and is not a winning player. He did not make winning plays. He made losing plays.

For every one of Garrett Shrader's bounced throws, I can give to you an instance where TD stepped out of bounds before throwing it away, RAN out of bounds without throwing it away, or had no feel for pressure coming at him while in the pocket.

Shrader is not perfect - not even close. But he throws a decent looking ball and appears to have enough of an arm for most throws to be made at the college level. At least as good as Dungey's. He is not as bad as you are making him out to be. I'd also say Anae & Beck know who they are inheriting and what his level of ability is.

Tommy is a serviceable QB because of his throwing ability. I'm sure he was a good steward of the program and seems like a likeable guy (though his father certainly isn't).

However, the insistence that Shrader is not the answer because of a small sample size in a terrible offensive system with an extremely low capability level at WR is really questionable to me.
