I'm pretty excited after watching the above link of his highlights at Baylor. Great at managing, running up-tempo-fast-paced offense. Super quick feet, super quick release.

After watching, Shapen is better in every metric you want versus Will Rodgers (no offense to Will, appreciate everything he did for us at MSU). He's better than Rodgers in Passing, running, mobility in pocket, release, deep ball pass, short & mid-range passes. Shapen has a good 45-50 yard deep ball, he is lazer accurate in the range of 5-35 yards.

Quick runner within 20 yards to get first downs. He also shows he is quick enough in the red zone, to make it to the corner pylon from the 10 yard line out to score running TDs.

I would say I am 95% excited to have him lead our offense. The only 5% negative I can see from his film is, durability & slightly smaller size. Hopefully he can take the pounding in the SEC while on the run, since he is not scared to run.

Other than durability & size, this guy is a legit, dual-threat QB perfect for Lebby offense.

Yea, he seems pretty good. Ready for the spring game. I know it?s just a sample size but it should be exciting to see the new crew go at it.

[Dawgface]

He does look good. Hopefully Lebby can fill some other holes we have.

[confucius say]

Oh heck yes. Toolsy.

[StarkVegasSteve]

I have sworn off watching YouTube videos after I watched Tommy Stevens video and was convinced he was gonna be the missing piece for us.

[BuckyIsAB****]

He wont be the only QB

[Coach34]

He wont be the only QB

No but we have lowered expectations finally to reasonable targets. Shapen will be the likely starter in 2024

[MBDawg601]

The zip he can put on passes is night and day from our former Qb.

Oh and he can navigate the pocket.

Three year career 164 carries for 184 yards. So he's not likely to extend drives with his legs.

How many of those carries and yards are sacks?

He is mobile enough

Tell me you haven't watched any of his film without telling me you haven't watched any of his film. He actually looks a lot like Jaxson Dart.

Why his legs haven't been utilized more is mind blowing. He's very mobile & athletic.

I indeed watched the very limited film that's available. It's not enough to overcome the numbers. Just saying based on three years, he's not likely to extend drives with his legs.

Sacks would not skew the numbers significantly. It's three years of data. He's simply not likely to extend drives with his legs. No more no less.

There's a 19 plus minute highlight film of him on YouTube & it answers your question very clearly. You're either not being honest or you have no idea what you're looking at.

You mean you want to ignore the actual numbers he's posted and go with a few highlight reels.

I mean he is capable from a talent standpoint of extending drives with his legs. That is obvious.

Now whether he will or not I do not know.

I think it's difficult for us because we've had such an immobile QB, everything looks better. The numbers are a concern, especially when it seems a requisite for success to have a dual threat QB.

Sacks would not skew the numbers significantly. It's three years of data. He's simply not likely to extend drives with his legs. No more no less.

Over those 3 years he was sacked 56 times for almost 400 yards. I'd say that skews the numbers significantly.

[Leroy Jenkins]

He's got a little dollar store Johnny Manziel in him.

[The Federalist Engineer]

How many of those carries and yards are sacks?

He is mobile enough

He was sacked 25 times. He does move in the pocket but is looking to throw, it seems.

From the highlights, looks better than Wright and WR for Lebby's offense. Need another QB to give competition.

Uh yea. That's a massive difference.
From 1 yard per carry to over 5 yards a carry.

The dude has plenty of mobility! Film doesn?t lie, whereas stats can be skewed(like sack yardage.)

[DesotoDog1967]

Has anything possibly been said about baseball or would that be an option given this is his last year? In HS he was 4th best in state of Louisiana and 1st in state short stop. Saw he played for Baylor
