  1. The "lawyer guy." Fucking L O fucking L. Who the fuck are you? I said "like" which is not the same as "someone here said that." I've said it before and I don't know why the fuck I'm saying it again, probably because I've had a shitty week so I'm doing the total loser thing and fighting with some narrative-pushing narcissist/manic depressive on the Internet who is entirely trolling because he just wants to fight without repercussions to channel his life frustrations at something/anything, but there are legitimately times when you have valuable insight and post meaningful things, and then there's the majority of times when you completely ignore important words that change the entire meaning of a post so you can push your bullshit narrative, while in the same thread page claim you didn't do something while turning around and doing that thing; case-in-point "FACT: Ewers was one of the worst offensive players on the team last season"--worse than Cole Lourd? Joe Tatum? Velton Gardner? Reid Watkins? All of the walk-ons? All of the third- and fourth-teamers? 2nd-team All-SEC QB was worse than them? It's bullshit like this that makes me skip past your posts without looking at the content. Did he live up to expectations? No. Does that mean maybe he wasn't as good as the hype and whatnot? Yes. How many of 'me and my people' on this thread have admitted that? All of them? And yet here you are accusing others of hyperbole and being overemotional when you take 9/10 of the posts out of context to push your objectively, obtusely asinine narrative that Ewers was "one of the worst." One of the worst. Not bottom half of the roster. Not bottom quarter of the roster. One of the worst. This is the kind of bullshit that compels otherwise sane, otherwise above-average-intelligence argue with you. No more for me. I'll take the pussy way out and put your dumbass on ignore, because you. Fucking. Suck.
  2. You did. By pointing out all the talent surrounding Ewers that Colt and VY didn't have.
  3. Just like your other responses to me, that's 100% not what I said. "10 best" doesn't equate to VY + Tebow. Major Applewhite is likely also one of the 10 best and he's nowhere close to VY or Tebow. Texas hasn't had a shitload of worldbeaters at QB unlike, say, BYU or even Washington or USC. And I haven't posted in this thread in, what, months? Yet you responded within minutes. Dude, fuck off into the sun.
  4. It won't matter. Even if Ewers took over this year and passed for 4k and 40, and Miami did no worse than the AFC CG...these dudes would still shit on Ewers. I don't like his politics or his choices, but he was easily one of the 10 best QBs in Longhorn history. Easily. But the talk on this thread is like he took a team full of AAs and went winless for his entire career.
  5. Yeah. Believe it or not, there are lawyers who refuse to defend someone who's guilty and will refer them to someone else. Then there are lawyers who also will defend the guilty, but for plea-minimizing purposes. Then there are lawyers who defend the guilty trying to get a not-guilty or innocent verdict, and don't care if they're guilty. The ones who won't defend guilty clients are usually ones with a high profile who don't want to risk it being tarnished. That doesn't mean their clients won't be found guilty. It's a risk no matter what.
  6. "This was treason. This was every word you can think of. They tried to steal the election. They tried to obfuscate the election. They did things that nobody's ever even imagined, even in other countries," Trump said in the Oval Office Tuesday.
  7. The amount of stupid in those replies makes me sad...but we live in a country where A&W's 1/3-pound burger failed because Americans are too stupid to understand fractions.
  8. There is no such thing as a "Texas Aggie."
  9. Shit, man, it's meaningless but I can agree with this take. It feels like a lot of us get pushed into a this-or-that corner with no space for argument, and by a relatively small number of choose-sides contributors. But, you know, congrats on having the Worst. Thread. Ever. now that the wrestling forum is gone.
  10. There are field-relative throwing drills and receiver-relative throwing drills. The problem with a lot of younger guys is that they and their private coaches focus a lot on stationary or field-relative throwing drills. For example, throwing over a stationary net into a big bucket or onto a matt or tarp placed on a spot on the field to try to teach things like arc and touch passing, or knocking down stationary targets like cones. Those help with certain routes where you're trying to throw to an open place on the field to let the receiver go get it. That's relative to the field. There are other drills to help coach young QBs how to lead a receiver, which shoulder to choose, high or low, knowing how the route is run and throwing to where you expect the receiver to be, etc. Those are relative to the receiver. It's not always easy to run receiver-relative drills in private coaching. You have to have access to receivers. Most, but not all, receiver-relative drills lean towards precision. Most, but not all, field-relative drills lean towards accuracy. Since the guy who taught me used the terms interchangeably, I've always used them interchangeably. That's wrong.
  11. Again, that's not what I said. He made a definitive, simplistic black-and-white "never" statement. There's a gif that shows "never" is false. "He's inaccurate." "Here's a gif where he's accurate."
  12. There's a gif a few posts up from the Michigan game that disproves that. He throws downfield to a place where only the receiver can get and actually has to lean forward for it. In all fairness there are plenty of examples of throws like this and throws where he's off-target. Maybe you mean he "mostly" wasn't accurate downfield? I can agree with that for 2024, especially later in the season.
  13. Saying it doesn't make him an accurate QB overall is not the same thing as saying he's inaccurate.
  14. You make a good point. As physical concepts I mostly think of accuracy and precision as interchangeable and receiver-relative, like placing the ball over the outside shoulder rather than the inside shoulder, for example. Ewers threw to the same spot regardless of where the receiver was. From a field-relative standpoint, he's accurate. From a receiver-relative standpoint, he's accurate on certain routes and not others. A lot of these guys who trained with the same small groups of private coaches have outstanding field-relative accuracy.
  15. Last year in the NFL the top 50% of starting QBs ranged anywhere from 60% OTR up to 80% for 10-19 yards but most were bunched between 65%ish-74%ish. There were outliers like Jalen Hurts who had OTR in that range as high as 89% and Jacoby Brisset who was down near 50%. Arguably, it's a more important metric that under 10 or 20+. Burrow, Mahomes, and Geno Smith played in offenses that emphasized the short game--more than 500 attempts each under 10 yards, and you had passing attempts under 10 ranging anywhere from well over 500 attempts to just over 250. In contrast, the highest OTR QB 20+ was Justin Hebert at nearly 75%...but on 30ish attempts, not 500. But pretty much every starting QB had roughly 70-100 attempts between 10-20 yards. I don't know how FBS shook out last year overall. 57th percentile may be middling, or it may be a standard deviation or more away from mean. In my opinion, that doesn't make Ewers an overall accurate QB. It doesn't mean he's inaccurate either.
  16. 64.7% OTR is good. There’s no real statistical difference between mid 60s and low 70s. High 70s to 80+ is otherworldly.
  17. I thought we were in agreement that completion percentage wasn’t the same thing as accuracy? Ewers had good ball placement on those routes. Downfield he was horrible after Bama two seasons ago.
  18. It's relevant to BOW being a know-nothing shitstain. Probably almost half of GD's bad playcalls were FUPM. Colt getting hurt against KSU? "No...run it again." I can agree Ewers isn't an "accurate QB," but it's disingenuous to say Ewers was an "inaccurate QB." He was shit on the deep ball. He usually had accurate ball placement on intermediate middle routes.
  19. He wasn't wrong. GDGD was a good OC who was held back by Mack Brown and a lack of self-confidence. Our playbook was the size of the Greater Houston Yellow Pages, but he had a small list of about 15 plays taped to the front cover that he would resort to whenever he got nervous, which was all the time. And FUPM wanted so badly to be known as an Xs and Os coach that he would frequently jump on the mic and overrule whatever play was called.
  20. That's not what I said. You're clearly not stupid, so I have to conclude it's intentional misrepresentation since you cut out what I actually DID say. And proved yet again my point that this is why it's difficult to have a civil conversation with you. I imagine you actually have reasonable, insightful opinions to post, but Jesusfuck it's bookended by vast quantities of this kind of shit.
  21. And I gave you two current examples demonstrating that it can.
  22. Cool. We talking about Ewers specifically or accuracy/pocket awareness generally? And is the standard of comparison how an 8th-year, All-Pro, MVP, Super Bowl winner throws? Because almost none of the QBs drafted in ever meet that standard.
