We see Shapen whose been in his 6th year of college football and STILL makes freshman mistakes every weekend. Also, why do you harp on his expectations and try to down them? Comparisons is apart of sports banter. Being compared to Cam Newton is a compliment that should be embraced not shunned. KT has obviously been a baller since probably 5 years old. Let him have BIG expectations and go for them. If you're already comparing his true freshman play to a former 5th year senior that's now a 2nd string NFL Qb that's pretty good and not the insult you're opting it to be.
There is a difference between having BIG and realistic expectations.

BIG expectations is expecting him to be Dak/Cam level by year three. The key here is that is also realistic because he will have a year starting under his belt, hopefully we will have more talent, and our schedule while difficult at least won't be complete bullshit like ours is this year.

Saying he is Cam Newton right now isn't realistic.

Our reality is right now we can either go with a QB who can pass and has thrown the game winning TD pass late in the game in our two best wins this year and runs the offense but is also really streaky or we can go with a QB who can make plays with his legs but is still limited as a passer and therefore limits what we can do as an offense. It is what it is. And the result is zero sum gain. The best thing to do is start Shapen and when he gets out of synch or hurt then put KT in. If nothing else it gives the opponents two QB's to gameplan for at least and then we can get the best out of both of them.
