  1. Kevmiller isn't gonna be at Texags much longer, way too logical and honest. "Texas schedule is shit" *even though they managed to squeak out a win in the hardest stadium in the world. They got an easy SEC schedule even though there are no easy SEC schedules. *please don't bring up march.
  2. At some point you just have to look at the cultist insanity, shake your head, maybe laugh and move on. The why of a cult and its behaviors is a rabbit hole rarely worth investing in as the answer is usually the same. It's the nature of the cult.
  3. Well, it's a moral question worthy of discussion not just for the specifics of the situation but for the grander aspects of it's implications. Dismissing it to only respond is a lot like "this thread is stupid and you all should stop posting in it". You protect yourself from a bunch of internet poster with anonymity for your opinions, yet claim a moral high ground for a person doing the same. Further irony. You say you rail against institutions yet never rail against individuals, does that hold true in your political, business and sports discourse on Surly? Have you posted anything negative about any individual people here on Surly in anonymity in the business, sports or political arena? I really don't know the answer but if you have, that's pretty hypocritical. I'm not claiming the person did so altruistically, and my post made that pretty clear, but I'll state it here again in case it wasn't. It appears your answer is you would say nothing and let the propaganda machine of Deion continue, but your response was ambiguous, imo, so I'm not even sure about that conclusion.
  4. I know this has already been discussed but there are some aspects that people have pointed out and others that have not been noted. First, Shadeur is a 23 year old millionaire, not a "college kid". Second, as for doing so anonymously, Deion has consistently and repeatedly attacked, on every platform available, any negative word said about him or any of his kids or methods. More times than not he does so with the race baiting methods. Beyond that, like it or not, Deion has become a massive influencer that effects perceptions of the broader media massively. Whether that influence is direct capitulation to Deion's "cause" or his and his children's "Amazing Ability" or more of a Mandela effect, its clear by all the predictions and hell, I saw it right here by posters that claimed Shadeur was amazing. Deion's influence can and I'm sure has ended careers unfairly and unjustly. Now, keeping effective massive Deion Grift Propaganda machine in mind, let's put on the shoes of an NFL team front office guy. You and your team are already aware that this arrogant, rich, teammates bus tossing, no accountability, janitor assaulting, under talented POS has actively said he would not play for and refused to interview with teams. However, your team is one of the "lucky" ones and Shadeur agrees to interview. He comes in and is a complete diva star, disrespectful and insulting. He's interviewing for a job on YOUR team/company and acts like YOU and the team are lucky he showed up and would be blessed to have him. Based on the fact you know he sucks as a QB and teammate, you suffer through his bullshit and he goes on to the next NFL team office to do the same. Perhaps you call your friend that works for the other franchise and laugh or perhaps his entitlement bullshit and the now 3 years worth of media propaganda around Deion and his grifting father piss you off. So, I'll ask you directly @aggie08(and anyone else taking an arrogant 23 year old asshole millionaires side) how do you feel about tyrannical leaders/grifters, their minions/children and their on going never stopping propaganda machine that serves only to feed their grift? I know it's hard to imagine such a grifter/propaganda machine asshole outside of college football/NFL but just try and use your imagination. If you knew the cost of speaking out against one was absolutely going to put you in the headlines as a racist (I know irony right) and it would 100% end your career given the power of that grifter/leader would you? Would you be willing to throw away your, perhaps decades worth of work, and career to voice your frustration? End your career and likely need to start from the ground up? Would you instead, like all others in the process simply remain silent and let the leader/grifter and his minion continue their steam roll? Or would you perhaps speak anonymously to a reporter to vent your frustrations and make others/media aware of the reasons (of which there are many) that SS fell so low in the draft so that the race baiting propaganda narrative of Deion the grifter is a little more tarnished? Which path would you choose? I'm not saying there is a right or wrong answer, but imo 1 is ethically bad, and 2 ethically and morally a better path. So it comes down to what would you being willing to sacrifice? Career or your morals and ethics.
  5. Everyone clap or your families are dead in 3... 2....
  6. This is why some people with regards openly acknowledge a need for an editor and gladly accept their help. I be of course talking with reference to my own self.
  7. I simply can't argue with that logic, just think SS never sees the field.
  8. There is way less than zero chance he out works, trains, grows and plays more than Gabriel. Of course, when Gabriel gets the nod over SS, we all know it will only be for "one reason" and he and his father will scream it all over the media.
  9. I bet Bond makes a squad.
  10. 2, x, 3, 1 Ageism is the leading cause of erectile dysfunction in men over 60.
  11. Not consistently throwing interceptions or turning the ball over in or close to the RZ in big games, not self sacking consistently, and hitting open receivers in stride, occasionally running the ball for a decent gain, and a fairly consistent accurate deep ball is my expectation. I know, what a lofty bar right?
  12. Maybe Dallas can borrow one from Cleveland? Could not help myself.
  13. 23 in 2 years.... thats fucking outstanding!
  14. Do you think any of that is new to Arch, anyone his family, any one reading this post, or any sports media member in the US? This was going to be the expectation no matter what school he attended and no matter what proceeded him starting for Texas. Hell, it started when he was on the fucking bench.
  15. And some of us started pointing the problem during the OUSUX game noting that Georgia 1 was the time when the move should have been made if not OUSux when it was clear he wasn't playing great. Then got shit on for the rest of the season.
  16. You don't think average football fan has heard of Quinn Ewers? Really? With the all the commercials, discussion about him for the Heisman, Texas making back to back CFP runs, and shit tons of press?? That somehow, average football fan missed all of that? Really?
  17. You neglected the reality that he never made it through a full season without injury. Tack that on top of a lack of career growth and multiple extremely painful big game moments... doesn't make for a great story.
  18. Clearly.. I don't believe there are any QBs left.
  19. Agreed! And recruiting etc
  20. I dont think people are rooting for it. I'm not at least. It's better for Texas athletics if he is drafted. I am being pragmatic about it however.
  21. I think you misspelled Cowboys. But Jerrah hates Texas deep down and won't take a project Longhorn.
  22. Bullshit! I refuse to believe that the bottom line for the NFL and its owners is money.
  23. But I can't do quantum physics maths and Occams Razor is too sharp for my regarded brain.
  24. So stop responding to it. The culmination of this debate is coming to big closure in the NFL draft. Immamac doesn't want the conversation in that thread so here is where its happening. Stop opening the thread and increasing traction by responding. Reactions to the thread about how it should die are insanely counter productive to your wants. And... had Quinn been drafted early would you be wanting the same thing? I think not.
  25. Fixed for you. The 11 players drafted last year and 8 so far this year along with the coaching staff might have played some small part in that ascension back. That's not a negative on Quinn, but just like we can't blame all failures on him nor should we attribute all the success. I hope someone picks him up in the draft or he walks on. I'm glad he was here. I'm glad for what he contributed, but Quinn didn't bring Texas back alone.
