WETSU Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 2 hours ago, DB2point0 said: Demas probably felt the same way Demas sat put his entire senior year and wasn't really a polished WR but more athlete his Jr year. Him and Stewart aren't really of the same mold. But I do think you are correct in calling demas out. I think part of the problem with his game is that his strength is taking the top off a defense and jump balls and he hasn't had a QB that could test defenses that way. Although he did drop the only one that he really got tested with. He will be a much better player next year. He's getting better every week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The issue is Jimbo’s use of TE’s and RBs in the passing game. Those two positions are his top reception leaders. Weidermeyer, Spiller and Achane lead the team in receptions. Why a top receiver would go to aTm is puzzling. Demas had 15 receptions for 235 yds. Does Stewart not see that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does Stewart not see that? Its more about the lack of talent outside and the QB unable to find them. Jimbos offense can get WRs in position to have good years, but he hasn't had a QB since he's been at A&M thats capable of taking advantage. Also like I pointed out, Demas was extremely raw. I mean couldn't run half the route tree raw. He also gets jammed a ton. Stewart steps foot on campus as probably in the top 2-3 in terms of his development and understanding of the WR position. Its not apples to apples comparing Stewart to Demas or other WRs under Jimbo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hasn’t had a qb that he can use? He’s recruited 4 classes to campus so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But what you're saying is not in a vacuum. Its not just the offense Jimbo runs. Yes the TEs and RBs are heavily used but that's got a lot to do with other factors. Its been QBs who couldn't find or hit the route. And yes thats on Jimbos recruiting and injuries. Hes also struggled to recruit speed and big playmakers at WR. Its not the offense itself that's the issue but Jimbo failing to recruit the guys needed to take advantage of the concepts of this offense.

The ‘21 and especially the ‘22 class should show us what the future could be with this scheme. 4*, 5* QB. Deep RB room. WR1 in the ‘22 class coming into a talented (maybe), underperforming (maybe) WR pool. TE should solid. Losing Kenyon Green is big but 2 stud freshman starters returning, Layden Robinson has RG on lockdown. It’s just figuring out what to do with the other 2 spots. Getting a Banks or Goodwin would be a great start. Wading into the portal for a starter or 2 possibly. The injury bug had been avoiding A&M for awhile. Nothing too devastating until this year. The young guys passed some vets and showed they could hold their spots for the next 2-3 years. If the injuries stay down. If King or Weigman can be better than what Calzada was this year. If the defense reloads. I could see 10 wins as very doable. Just based off this past season and the potential for improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stewart going to A&M isn't crazy when you look at it from a kids perspective. They are likely going to finish with the number 1 class. They have PT available at his position. They arent far from home. They have been extremely stable in terms of staff over the last 4 years and projected forward. There's just not a lot of negatives other that production from his position but stud players look at that as they are the missing piece not that its impossible to produce.

This team has built enough depth and talent that they are not far behind any of the other title contenders except for QB and WR. You get better production out of those two spots and there is no telling what this team can achieve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WETSU Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Like mentioned above the other teams recruiting him the heaviest have far more questions than A&M. Go to texas? They just finished a losing season with lots of speculation of a full on rebuild for what could be his 3 years. Just because worthy produced does not make them a better option. Bama is the other legit contender but distance is a factor as well as not as favorable of depth chart as some of the others. OU could have been in the mix but coaching change now. LSU same thing... Like Valhalla said this is a perfect storm for him to commit to A&M not some out of the blue decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustAFan11 Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 He obviously wanted to stay in state. That has been known for a while. A&M is in a much better position as a program right now. Jimbo has all his guys in the program and it easy to see they could win now. However the A&M offense isn’t great for WR. Texas is in a rebuild, so they can’t promise him wins. However they can sale him on huge numbers for him specifically. Even with a bad OL and average QB. He chose winning, which isn’t common for a diva position like WR. So good for him and I’m sure he’ll still put up good numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing for him thats going in his favor is he can play all three positions equally well. Demas is an outside guy all the way. Stewart could easily slide into the slot role that Ainias Smith has been playing and Smith has been a key part of the offense up until the last few weeks (he's battling injury) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
