I'm going to bring a bit of a different perspective as I'm a Texas Aggie. This is also gonna start with a bit of a tangent but I promise it's relevant.
So far, our coach Mike Sherman seems to be almost a miracle worker on the offensive side of the ball. Our quarterback, who absolutely lit Texas up a few weeks ago, actually played TE in high school and then ran the option for two years under our previous coach Dennis Franchione. This year, in his second season under Sherman, he threw for 3200 yards (school record), 26TDs (school record), and only 6 Ints, 3 of which were in 1 terrible game during which nobody could do anything right.
Our WRs have been equally impressive. A&M has always more or less been representing the big 10 in the deep south; in other words, 3 yards and a cloud of dust. We have never had a 1000 yard receiver in our school's history. Prior to Jerrod Johnson our qb, our school passing record for a single season was ~2700 yards, including the bowl. So when Sherman produces a go-to tru fish (Uzoma Nwachukwu), a true sophomore (Jeff Fuller), and a redshirt sophomore (Ryan Tannehill, who was playing qb when Sherman arrived), he deserves a lot of credit.
My point with this is to back up the assertion that Sherman is a great evaluator and developer of offensive talent. He has brought in a lot of recruits that have stepped onto campus and contributed as true freshman.
And let me tell you, he really, really wanted Cody Green. We sent the house after him but he ended up with the the Corn; a fact that disappointed a lot of Aggies. He raved about his ability to make all the throws, his decision making (he had 36TDs and 5 Ints his senior year), etc. In Sherman's mind, Cody Green was the real deal.
Anyway, it's my opinion that you all should consider the fact that the kid is a true freshman and that he can still improve dramatically. Quarterback is, without a doubt, about the hardest position to pick up because there is so much to learn, memorize, and train into muscle memory. Then all the reading defense stuff. It's really darn hard and takes a lot of time to learn. For example, earlier in the post I mentioned our quarterback, Jerrod Johnson. Not to brag, but the kid looked absolutely amazing against Texas, who was the #1 rated overall defense before JJ carved 'em up. Well, at the beginning of this season, Sherman had so much confidence in JJ that he declared the QB race up for grabs, and JJ barely beat out Ryan Tennehill. Yeah. Last year (as our starter) JJ went 4-11 against Texas for 62 yards (long of 33 yards so half of 'em came on one play) and 1 TD. It was so bad that he got benched. Only one year later, he went 26-32 for 342 yards, 4TDs, and 1 Int. That's quite a difference!!!
Anyway, it's tough now, especially after an ugly 1 point loss, but don't give up on a true fish just because he didn't look good this year. Our team is loaded with offensive talent, but I still look at Cody Green as one that got away (as do many other aggies)!!
