Assuming that Manziel does well enough in the next three games to demonstrate that he is the undisputed 2015 starter, I believe that Connor Shaw can be an excellent backup to run Shannahan's offense.
I disagree that Shaw has "average at best physical abilities". His measureables at the combine were similar to Manziels. Four year starter under Spurrier. His father is a winning high school football coach.
Since Shaw has been on the practice squad this year, I assume that he knows Shannahan's terminology, and that will give him a leg up next year.
The best reason to like Shaw as a backup to Manziel is since he is a similar type of QB, the gameplan won't change much between the two.
Having said all that, I hope Manziel proves in the next three weeks that we have a starting QB for the future.
