I can’t stand that arrogant buffoon, Manziel. He looks like Sean Penn and Alfred E. Neuman had a baby.

Shaw is a better QB… this is coming from a Clemson fan too.

I was impressed with Shaw. Appeared to be poised and had good skills.Not surprised he is getting a look in the NFL.
As far as Manziel’s looks, if Obama had a son he would look just like Johnny Football.

I don’t know if he’s better gifted with a strong arm than Johnny BOYziel but he has the head on his shoulders to be a leader.

Funny how the punch drunk media (FITS) is so surprised…SC fans are not surprised at all.

PS: FITS, any word on Sammy Watkins. How’s that Hall of Fame pre-season camp going for him???…..

More power to Sammy. I don’t begrudge him making it. It’s the Dumb@$$#$ like FITS putting him on the all-time Best list before he even plays in a real game. It’s the ignorance that I’m opposing.

As a Gamecock fan, the substance I will add is Sammy, Deandre, and Andre will all have great years and don’t overlook them in your fantasy league. But that’s no fun. It’s better to tell you to shut the f#$k up b/c you r and asshat…go push your pablum on your incoherent blog and stay out of here.

Classy. Have you EVER written anything of substance? I KNOW you hate me. How many ways can you express the same dead-brain sentiment?
Now you’re making predictions of grandeur for Clemson plans, while begging people to believe you’re a Gamecock.
If you have to tell everybody, it likely means the team would rather not have a fan like you. We’ve had too many like you over the years. You DESERVE Brad Scott. Now go kiss his big-fat @$$…LMAO…

Just like E Norma said, more homo-erotic innuendo and special character curse words. Your post is meaningless, cliché, and full of lies, myths, and fables. But good for a laugh, as usual. Thank you. We need people like you to keep the pharmaceutical industry in business. It’s odd that you bring up Brad Scott, but since you did, remember that he won us our first ever bowl victory and thank him each night for it. And see you next Thursday night. I am sure you were granted media credentials for Gamecock coverage in SCPD. Guessing they have a front row seat for you in the press box…the press box of Capital City Stadium, that is. Go Cocks, you fucktard.

I am pleased that Shaw played so well, but he is playing with third and fourth stringers against third and fourth stringers. I hope he gets a chance to prove himself against the elite players in the league, which I believe he can, but I’m not going to get too excited about last night.

Technically, Shaw is a third/fourth stringer, but I agree with you. Interesting that ESPN had no coverage of Shaw’s efforts….

The NFL does have a way of rooting out the arrogant empty shirts. Even if JF is really, truly good, he has a target on his back, defenses around the league will see to it.
I don’t know Mr. Shaw, but just watching him play, observing his demeanor and reading comments about him seem to indicate he is a “straight up” guy that focuses on his playing and creating a good public persona. Good for him, hope he has great success.

JF, meh, spawn of Penn’s right.

As a Gamecock fan and a alumni of USC (not So Cal) I will tell you that if he didn’t make it in the pros he said he was going in the military to be a officer. Browns fans give this guy love and he will make you proud!

What a classless douchebag Manziel is. Willing to bet his career is short lived if that is how he responds to getting his ass kicked. Everyone was talking big about this guy in the draft and here he is being a spoiled little brat in a big man’s game.

Great job by Shaw though. Keep up the good work and good luck to you man!

Connor Shaw! This guy is a winner! He was coached by Steve Spurrier, has had to compete for a job at every level, and is a student of the game. If the Browns do not realize the talent they have in this guy, I hope another NFL team will.

Yeah, no defense played at Duke who gave up 52 while scoring 48 of their own against an obviously stellar A&M D. But plenty of great defense played in 2013 by Bama (A&M hung 42 on them), Arkansas (45), Ole Miss (41), Auburn Tigers (41), Vandy (56), and Miss St. (51). And in 2012, Arkansas (58), Auburn (63), Mizzou (59) and Oklahoma (41). Sometimes you just say dumb shit.

Did he win 11 games three years in a row or go undefeated at home in his college career? Did he ever throw just 1 pick to 24 TD passes? NO, because he’s a me first player and a stat junky, not a winner. Shaw is a winner.

I ain’t arguing Shaw v. Manziel. I like Shaw and think Manziel is a spoiled prick. But the shot at Duke was unwarranted. Manziel directed an offense that hung big numbers on some major programs, many of them SEC schools.

I am a Gamecock fan. He was the under dog at the Real USC (not So. Cal). Browns fans you got a guy in Shaw that finished 27 and 5 as a starter in the SEC. He also finished 17 and 0 at home. Give this guy some love and he will rise to the occasion. I am now a Browns fan!

wait a minute! 24 tds and 1 interception in the SEC and nobody drafted him?) proven winner and pure class. hypocrite NFL didnt even draft him. see who the media focuses on: manziel and michael sam LMFAO!!! connor shaw =andy dalton2.0, 10-15 year nfl career. (if the browns are dumb enough to cut him he will definitely be picked up and will be at leas a 2nd string qb by his 3d year)

Shaw isn’t the second coming of Peyton Manning but I could see him developing into a solid starter in the mold of Russell Wilson. A little undersized but smart, good game manager, can beat you with his feet, and a guy who has the respect of his teammates.

Over the past few months, I written several pro Shaw comments on Cleveland Browns web site discussion boards. The folks up there didn’t seem too interested when I told them that Connor Shaw was a great QB that just needed an opportunity. Many didn’t think so, and others took a wait and see attitude. I guess the wait and see attitude is over. Today, Connor Shaw got a 70%+ vote by the Cleveland fans for the Starting QB job. He’s a very serious young man, a great leader, has a strong arm, can throw going any direction, runs for yardage, has a great mind for the game, and keeps his mouth shut and stays out of trouble. Not like the mouth from Texas Manziel.

Shaw is an excellent representative of football players from SC Colleges. He’ll even make Clemson fans proud. Let’s just hope he stays healthy and has a long career.
