And I didn't say KT is the most talented qb we've ever signed; that's dak. I said KT is immensely more talented than Shapen, which he is. Sorry if that bothers you

93.4> 91.1. And again, I know he isn't qualified. Still, you can only judge a player by what he does when he plays, and his play is elite is so far. I know it wouldn't stay at 93.4 QBR if he played full time, but the small sample is good enough for me to want to see a bigger sample. Perhaps if he played all the time, it would drop to 60.1 (65th nationally) like Shapen.
I don't disagree that he has been very good - situationally. But you are also ignoring how much a situational QB he's been. Other than Alcorn, the first 5 games he played in packages specifically to gain short yardage and or short yardage scores. That is going to heavily skew a stat that places large portion of their measurement on scoring plays. He has the advantage of getting the ball on in those situations versus playing 90% of the snaps and taking all the hits like Shapen has.
Does he pass the eye test as a guy that is immensely talented? Yes. Is he long term more talented then Shapen?? Possibly. Maybe even probably. But, we've also thought that many times before only to end up booing the guy as a Senior.
How many sacks will Mizzou record this weekend? I'd say 5-6.
Shapen is part of the issue. So is the OL. Two things true at once. He does hold the ball too long. On the long KT throw, KT threw it much quicker with guy in his face. Shapen would have been in fetal position with a sack.
Shapen does not presnap read the D. Obvious blitz is coming and he does not adjust to throw quick. That is on Shapen not the OL.
KT pocket awareness is much better even as a freshman. He feels the rush and makes them pay. Only time he got sacked there was not where to run as he tried.
numbers don't lie. the decision to not play the best player only b/c they are younger is a high school level coach approach, basic, and unable to process the enormous upside. we've seen it on the field the last several weeks, kamario should start and play the entire game.
