The odds of Sam being in the NFL next year are about same as Garrett being employed in the NFL next year. 

Disagree.  There chance that Sam leaves this year is a number that rounds down to zero.  I think there is at least a fighter's chance that Garrett gets an assistant job somewhere.

FKB.  Never passes on an opportunity to take a shot at the Longhorns. 

This is what passes for a "journalist" today.

that should have been a touchdown. really bad pass by Sam on 3rd down. lofted the ball way too high and threw it way too far inside. if he fixes either one of those it's an easy TD. shitty end to what was a great opening drive.

Most people posting today must be drunk. Sam was a stud tonight. Throws to Collin and Duvernay were great. Gouged the fuck out of their defense with his legs. Took a top rush defense to fucking school.

He played a damn good game tonight. Doesn’t make what’s been said about him wrong.

To say he wouldn’t be drafted high isn’t wrong. Speculation about his draft status is nonsense because he’s given no indication that he intends to declare for the draft

Saying “he’s so fucking average” is regard level stupid.

So yeah, most of today’s talk about Sam on this thread is idiot level stuff.

Sam Ehlinger in 2019:

4,326 total yards (94 yards behind Colt for Texas single season record)

3663 passing yards (second behind Colt for Texas single season record)

39 touchdowns in 2019 (third behind himself and Colt for Texas single season record)

32 passing TD (second behind Colt for Texas single season record)

If he gets 99 more yards next year than he does this year, he'll hold the record for career offensive yards.  

 

I know Neonmmoon has eaten crow for saying that Sam was average and Sam would admit he could have played better in the second half of the season, but damn!  He already belongs on the Mount Rushmore of Texas Qbs.

He does lots of great things during games. He also misses throws more than he should, either too far off target to catch or just not quite on the right spot like the throw to brewer that ended the first drive and was almost an int. Catchable ball but wrong shoulder brought the defender into the play.

The Mount Rushmore of Texas QBs is reserved for winners. Stats in an offensive era like this one are not enough. For a junior, he’s still missing a ton. I like him as a player, especially when we are running him. His ball placement is still hit or miss too often for my taste.

True but other Texas QB legends typically played on teams with defenses which were not historically bad.  So wins are less in Sam's hands than Colt or VY simply because Orlando's shitty defense.

Colt is way ahead of Major on that list.

Definitely.  VY, Colt, Street, Layne is the Rushmore.  Street is defined by team accomplishments and nasty defenses with a couple of timely big plays sprinkled in.  It's not a great Rushmore when one of your QBs has a 10/24, TD:INT ratio and has less than 50% of his passes completed but alas it was a different time, which I'm sure will be pointed out and those teams won.

Street gets ranking points due to Huston. Let's see if VY and Colt have any athletic sons. And Chris Simms' kid will be better than Major's.

This seems to be an indictment of Beck and the rest of the offensive coaching staff:

2018:

Sam's EPA/play: .366

Sam's EPA/dropback: .349

Sam's EPA/rush: .422

2019:

EPA/play: .364

EPA/dropback: .352

EPA/rush: .413

From an EPA standpoint, Sam did not improve in 2019 from 2018.  Note that elite college QBs are around .500 or greater in EPA/play (Burrow was .641 this season), so Sam and Yurcich have some work to do if they wish to reach those same heights.
