  1. Okay. Thanks for clearing that up. I didn't think "2 or 3 fastest" differentiated by position. I would agree he'll be one of the 2 or 3 fastest RBs every time he steps on the field.
  2. @JordanSportGuy
  3. You're right. I still had the screen for 2022 up. It's 9 now. Point is still the same.
  4. In college, yes. In the NFL, it depends on the weekend. More than a dozen CBs ran sub-4.4 just this year. 3 WRs have so far. There were 20 sub-4.4s last season, 17 the year before that, 31 the year before that. The NFL is different. 4.39 is fast, but he's one of dozens and dozens at the next level. Xavier Worthy on the other hand, is the fastest on the field every time he steps on it, no matter the team, no matter the era. If Blue ran a 4.29 then, yes, he'd one of the 2 or 3 fastest every time. We know Blue is fast. I think some of us are disappointed that he wasn't as fast as we were hoping, and certainly not as fast as he said he was.
  5. Yeah...it's argumentum ad absurdum. Justified in this context.
  6. Fair. He's second-fastest among RBs this year. My point was that he needs to be up in that rarified air given his history coupled with talking trash about how fast he's going to be.
  7. Especially after flaking out of the East-West Shrine Bowl. 4.4 is definitely fast, but it's not rare in the NFL. It's not even rare at the Combine.
  8. No. No, they wouldn't. Good luck to you, kid.
  9. It's you. You're the unstable spaz. I don't see any memes about threads being "AnotherLawyer'd."
  10. You don't understand. If Ricky Williams doesn't rush for 6,000 of his career yards, his statistical career at Texas sucks. DEBATE ME LIKE A MAN MOTHERFUCKER
  11. Shane Smith is a pretty good songwriter and has some good energy on stage, but agree to disagree.
  12. Because...that's...what...Derka...did. And you're arguing with Derka unironically.
  13. But do you compare how you deal with injury to how a 21-year-old soon-to-be professional athlete deals with injury? I mean, can't argue in the face of objective proof like that, you know.
  14. Not all of us missed the joke...but some of us missed how flippant the response was in the first place.
  15. You're not. He's a pussy. He isn't a pussy. He's hurt. He's not hurt. He sucks. He's one of the best. He's throwing at the combine. He's not throwing at the combine. It's spin. It's in his medicals records. We all know. None of us knows. It's time to lock and sticky this thread as a Classic and move on to Arch Sucks, Owens Should Starts.
  16. This thread is quintessential Surly. Maybe even quintessential Texas football fandom.
  17. Yeah. Now I'm feeling a little guilty. I think it was clear to most rational people that Ewers was injured in some way that involved his core muscles or his back and he wasn't the same guy we saw against UM. Whether it's spin or it actually affected him the rest of the season is up for debate. One of the things people aren't thinking about is that he has to sign a HIPAA release for the NFL and they'll get his meds. If it's untrue, it's likely to get leaked or at least it's something every team will know anyway and it's a dangerous thing to lie about.
  18. At some point the guilt of taking advantage of someone's DSM-level mental issues for entertainment value will outweigh how funny it is to watch a fat fucking fifty-something Never Was die on the cross of comparing his current self to a 21-year-old about to be drafted into a professional sports league.
  19. Legitimately that made zero sense. Like absolutely none. Some of us played with injuries we shouldn't have when we were in our teens and 20s and part of it wasn't just coaches putting pressure on us, but our own stupidity. Thirty years removed from playing D1 with a partially torn ACL that completely tore several weeks later, and five years removed from tearing the other ACL skiing, I can guarantee you there's a difference in how I felt and recovered. And you doubting whether Ewers, a starter for one of the highest-tiered teams at the highest tier of collegiate athletics, could play through an injury based on your anecdotal experience at 30 years older and in less-than-peak physical condition, is patently. Fucking. Absurd.
  20. How old are you now? Like 50? But, sure, it's apt to compare a 50-something who was never a college-caliber athlete with a 20-something playing at the highest level of college athletics.
  21. I feel like this is Exhibit A for the then-common argument that Texas high school players hit their ceilings in high school. I also feel like a lot of the coaches were to blame for running them into the ground. Some of these poor kids were probably showing up with 30-year-old legs at 18 years old.
