    The announcer kept pointing out how Card's passes were floating to the right

    Give him time. Sark is a QB mastermind and Card has the tools. Most of the issues yesterday were related to inexperience (pocket presence, going through progressions) and were exacerbated by the lack of help around him. Maybe he needs some time at backup until he gets more comfortable in the offense, but he still has a very bright future.

    The days of a guy “learning” how to play QB in college are ancient history. Guys like Card have been primed for this since they were 10 years old. Year round camps. Skills development. Nutrition. Big stage High School….the 4+ star RS Freshman of today is past decades Junior.
     

    The 3 straight long passes that floated right are what are really concerning me about Card.  I can understand the nervousness, slow progressions, even the fumble.  But how does someone who has been a quarterback for years not understand that you need to compensate for ball rotation on long throws 3 times in a roll?  Has he never thrown a long pass before?  Has non of his coaches explained that to him before?  How does that happen to a highly ranked QB recruit?

    I hope there's a website or hotline to report companies that don't follow the requirement.  I am going to gleefully turn anyone I find out about in.

    Yes a 10k civil bounty on non-compliant companies, individuals and those that transport them would be the chef's kiss.

    Sure, even abstinence isn't 100%. There is no magic bullet to end all abortions. It would be a cheap way to prevent more abortions, same as vasectomies. As long as there are fewer abortions, then why not?

    My point was many anti-abortionists believe that human life starts at conception.  If you don't believe that, and don't see that as any kind of moral obstacle, then we are in complete agreement.   

  4. I joined Burnt Ends last night and it looks like it kicked me out of my recurring  TreeFifty membership.  Do I need to resubmit my recurring  subscription?  I only noticed this cause suddenly i could no longer rep the game thread after I submitted burnt ends.

    it sucks that some people are going to be left behind, I wish that wasn't the case.

    Doesn't matter, though, get out.

    I was listening to a story on NPR yesterday and they were interviewing a lady who's elderly grandmother, who is a US citizen and had a US passport was unable to get to the airport earlier this week and now her health has turned south because of the stress.  I am sure it's a difficult situation but why in the fuck would you not have gotten your elderly grandmother out of there months  ago when it was first announced the US was getting out ??  I mean got damn, you really gonna wait for the last minute with a elderly person like that?

    There's zero reason for Thompson to transfer until after the season is over. Even if he could somehow get somewhere else and be eligible this late in the game (which is doubtful), his best chance at playing THIS fall is still right here, should Card get injured or just falter. Plus, that allows him a much better look at what other rosters look like in the Spring to pick the most advantageous situation for him. He could transfer out after the season, be wherever he is going for Spring ball, and still have 2 years of eligibility remaining with the additional year granted due to COVID. 

    Basically, there's no upside to leaving now and plenty of incentive to stay.

    I like the way you think Mr. Thompson.
