    Y’all. I’m on your side here.  The death penalty is immoral and belongs in the dustbin of history

    My point is that if we say ONE wrongful execution is significant, then focus on the ones that are provable as your evidence, not “reasonable mathematical projections.”  Claiming thousands of hypothetical wrongful executions feels like “stat padding” and turns people off to the argument before you even get a chance to land the weight of the actually provable wrongful executions. 

    Anyone dumb enough not to understand that there have been thousands of wrongful executions is not someone I’ll be wasting my time arguing with.

    To be fair, we really don't have data on such things for a huge part of our history.

    But the fundamental mistake is that any number much greater than ONE wrongful execution is significant without anymore context.

    We know we executed people. We know we get it wrong. 1000s seems pretty likely based on simple math.

    I’m not disagreeing with the premise that many innocent people have been executed, but your argument loses force when you present bad numbers.  There have been fewer than 1700 executions in the US since the removal of the death penalty moratorium 1976. 

    I guess this country started in 1976

    Go to any in the valley and see if you still believe that. If you want better pizza down there you need to go to an actual pizza spot. 
    I imagine among fast food pizza up here it’s also at the top. I’m not saying it’s Dough or Il Forno or Fralos. But is it better than Pizza Hut, Dominos, Cicis, and Little Caesars? Yes.

    It’s not fast food pizza like any of the places you listed. It’s also objectively not as good as those places. It doesn’t deliver. Is it better than Chuckie Cheese? Maybe, no idea, but that’s the comparable place. Which means it’s absolutely ass.

    Looking for a legit Asian food joint on Northwest side of SA. Not fancy just quality food. Sizzling Wok use to be our go to spot off huebner, but it has closed and is becoming a sushi place.  Before that pan Asia was our spot across from OP Schnable but it also closed and is now a Fredrick's burger. What is your go to not fancy but solid Asian spot?

    I had watched Arch highlights from last season recently , but not the 24 spring game.  Looks like a totally different dude.  Slingin it all over the place.  Jesus, what a downfall.  Also Trey Owens can throw a forward pass, so there's that.  

     

    Watching that video makes me wonder if we are coaching our QBs to have that terrible arm action. Quinn, Arch, and Trey all have it.

    Well if Arch can’t pull the trigger and when he does, it’s wildly inaccurate, we don’t have much choice. I didn’t see any QB play as bad as ours yesterday. We’re staring down the barrel of a melt down season, so if I’m Sark, I’m getting at least 2 QBs live reps against Sam Houston. Obviously what’s happening in practice isn’t translating. 

    I don’t disagree. If Caldwell is playing QB then we are fully committing to the melt down season. At least with Arch there is the possibility of it getting better, regardless of how slim that may be.

    How on fucking earth is it hyperbole?!? He literally had a worse completion percentage, lower rating, and less yards than GG had in any game except 1? Those are hard, objective numbers. The hard, objective numbers are that Arch YESTERDAY was worse than typical GG. Significantly worse. 

    Because it’s one game. You can’t just ignore every other piece of evidence. Does he have the capability to score touchdowns? Yes. Did he have an awful game yesterday? Yes. 
    You said you’d take Swoops over Arch. Not arch yesterday, just Arch period. That’s hyperbolic and fucking dumb.

    Yes, 1, that was a typo. I really don't know why you're suffering here. I'm not saying Arch can't be better. I'm saying that right now, in this moment, he is atrocious. Yes, worse than GG except for maybe one GG game, atrocious. Why you think that is a victory of some sort for you I cannot fathom. 

    I don’t think it’s a victory. I think the hyperbole is dumb as shit.

    Yolo Lacey. Worst case scenario is sark and Milwee coach the talent out of him or he folds under pressure. Best case he’s a gamer we think he can be and is a playmaker outside the pocket. 

    Yeesh. We aren’t burning the shirt of a 6’ 185lb true freshman unless we lose every game from here on out.

    I did. But, I mean, fuck, GG's career completion percentage at Texas was 59%, which is fucking 15 points better than Arch was against goddamn UTEP. This was historically bad play at the QB position.

    Congrats, as far as completion percentage goes, he was better than GG against Nebraska and that's about it. Every other game GG threw for more yards and a higher completion percentage than Arch did against fucking UTEP. And, while Arch was only credited with 2 interceptions yesterday, at least 2 more throws should have been intercepted. And even the TD to Wingo is probably a pick 6 against good corners. 

    So one game. This was the worst Arch we’ve seen right? Now do the worst GG.

    It was 1 INT btw.
