    How many Championships does he have?

    Are you going down the path that Trent Dilfer is better than Dan Marion?  That Craig Krenzel is better than, well, a ton of guys?

     

    And by the way I addressed a specific point that had nothing to do with wins and losses.

    Do you even SEC, bro?

    SEC losses are better for RPI than other conferences' wins, obviously. Have you not listened to aggy at all the past 13 years?

    I try not to SEC.  
     

    My bitterness and disdain for the SEC  likely never subsides.  I like that WVU has taken to that bogus scheduling.  Win a lot of games, and it’s difficult to root you out.

    i also enjoyed all the close SEC games today.  Aren’t they all barnburners?

    I think Sam would score from the 1. But the fact that we didn’t against Ohio St, has nothing to do with QE. That was on Sark. I remember being surprised when Sam completed a 20-ish yard pass against good coverage. And I was always surprised when Quinn didn’t. Sam ran like a bull and never got hurt. Respect that, but he was never the passer that QE is. 

    A few metrics for consideration from PFF between the 2.  Sam had the highest passing grade in a single season.  He had the highest single season big time throw rate and also a higher big time throw rate for his career.  His career turnover worthy play rate was lower too although his frosh year was slightly higher than QEs year 3.  4.1 to 4.0. 

    So there’s at least one reference point that is contrary to your belief. 
     

    You should have said I’m more impressed with QEs arm than Sam’s.

    Quinn is and was better than Sam on this and every planet. And I like Sam. 

    Quinn played with more drafted linemen than all Texas QBs combined since what 2008?

    He never played at Texas without a draftable WR, TE or RB.

    He never played without a top 10 defense.

    His only game that we won in which the opponent scored 30+ was ASU.  They got that in OT to get to 31.  Beuchele, Card, Thompson, Sam all lost games scoring more than 31 points.  I don’t think Ewers ever did.

    Theres no valid comparison between Ewers and any QB since Colt.

    Ewers had probably a top 5-ish of all time opportunity.  Same system.  Same staff instructing.  Unmatched offensive talent in Texas history.  There’s not really a close 2nd.

    He’s a more gifted Ken Dorsey without the title.

    Yes - any defamation type quotes should not be quotes against someone unless you’re willing to put your name on it. Millions ($$) are at stake at this level, not just tongue in cheek remarks to make yourself look better.

    Hook’em!!!

    You think some random, anonymous quote impacts other teams perceptions?  I’d assume that certain confidants share information, but there’d be hope that others are willing to draft guys that’d be detrimental to team goals.

    Thats to say nothing of whether Shedeur cares of his perception otherwise he wouldn’t be the person with that reputation in the first place.

    More than he's allowed to say. He probably shouldn't have posted that anyway lol. 

    I’ve already forgotten what he posted.

    what if it were the opposite?  What if teams judged the medicals as being less serious than thought?  What if Ewers was seen as soft and milking injuries and wilted at the faintest sign of pressure?  How do those attributes translate to the NFL?  Are those the kinds of attributes that can be coached up or improved upon?

    Well what insight do you have about that?

    Its a curious thought considering several weeks ago it was put out there that he played thru a torn oblique.

    It also would raise several questions about our choices.

    I don’t care if he is kind or not. That is not the point. I do not care what any of the access merchants put out there in this sport or any other sport. That is as clear as I can say it. 

    Given what I understand your high school upbringing to be, I find “access merchants” quite amusing.

    thats like choosing between adding a cat turd or a dog turd to your morning coffee. Fuck em both. The draft "industry" that the NFL has managed to build into their marketing is really something, but they run circles around the other leagues in terms of marketing. but the downside to that is having these fucking dorks that probably never scored a touchdown in their lives pretend like they are NFL talent gurus. They are somehow worse than the entirety of  the $9.95 jock sniffers at the collegiate levels.

    Much like SEC football, I am of the opinion that SEC baseball's reputation is a bit overinflated, and the conference benefits from those lingering high rankings as the season goes along.

    Not near as many mid to upper 90s fastball guys as were anticipated.  And I think LSUs guys like that were transfers.  Ruger/Sanders - transfers.  Not near as much power either.

    East Bernard ran the Slot T in 2012-13 when the won a state title.  

    I have seen it most in smaller schools and it can be really effective.  Think Fulshear ran it this year and they beat they shit out of a number of schools before they got beat by Atascosita.

    They ran for some crazy number, maybe over 450 ypg and then threw for just over a 100 a game.  

    That coach has since gone onto Klein and it will be interesting to see if he runs it there. 

     

    If you have the right horses relative to your competition, anything can work.  And, if you can confuse the opponents D because they see it so infrequently, that can make a difference too.  Liberty Hill is an example of this.

    I’m old enough to have been in a wing T offense then shortly after seen my high school transition to more open offenses.  Then seeing the evolution since that time.  I have a biased, personal preference of which offense I’d choose.  And a key support of that is the number of QBs from Texas that have succeeded at higher levels.  Thirty years ago Cam award is likely never heard from beyond high school.  Obviously, the reasons run deeper than simply the offense, but that’s one reason.

    VY is with a handful of other QBs whose career might have been significantly different if they came along 10 years later. 

    The right place at the right time is quite significant.  For much of this Longhorn roster that is the case.  I’m not sure there’s ever been a time when competition has been higher or profiles have been elevated more at Texas than now.

    And there are far more coaches that are able to bring you down than lift you to your maximum potential.

    Wing T and Slot T is beautiful offense, eat shit.

    Was it most prevalent in the 80s/90s in Texas?

    The time period in which few Texas high school QBs went on to be good college QBs and even fewer to the NFL.  Some have said QB is the most important position.  So, let’s run an offense that limits the QB.

    Just cause the Marlin Bulldogs ran roughshod over you with it does not mean it was a beautiful offense.

    Yeah, he averaged something like 12 throws per game in that Wing T offense.  He got almost no attention; hence, Incarnate Word.

    What a terrible offense.  His story kinda tells you that.

    I am of the belief that UT playing smaller in-state schools is good for the program and the state as a whole. 

    I agree. 
     

    The RPI needs retooling.  Go on the road to beat Mizzou, and you get a quad 3 win.  Nevermind they have been run ruled in 4 straight.  3 at home.  One by a barely above .500 team.  Half their SEC games have only lasted 7 innings.  They have 3 quad 1-3 wins - UConn, Illinois and SIEU.

    Playing the #101 team at home is not equivalent to beating the last place SWAC team.  Yet it is.  At some point, games should be thrown out.  That way there’s fewer reasons to cancel.

    If we’re weighing Tuesday/Wednesday games in the same manner you weigh weekends/conference games, that’s dumb.  Using a metric for post season seeding that gives such an impact to pitchers you likely won’t see in the post season is not indicative of how the post season will play out.

    And all that bs leads to games being canceled.

    I'm not sure where the struggle is.  Ewers' talent relative to his teammates doesn't necessarily say anything about his talent relative to the entire D1 talent pool.  If he's actually one of the 2-3 "worst" players on the UT offense (which I would probably dispute) then that means nothing if his surrounding talent is elite, which in general it is.

    I am not sure I’ve ever said much about his talent being limited.  Generally, I’m never going to limit what a player can do.  He’s no different.  When I say he has some uniqueness to him, that is not meant in a negative sense.

    But when one discusses actual production, that surrounding talent matters.  My life experiences tell me that slow pass catchers make your margin for error much smaller.  That any QB reads are more difficult because the defense remains condensed longer while at the same time creating less separation.  If you add in a mediocre pass protecting unit, then these timeframes are condensed even more.  And all this before you consider whether these pass catchers have above average to elite abilities to make defenders miss.  That has not been a Texas issue of late.  I’d say less so than any other team.  

    Personally, I wouldn’t compare a G to a QB. Overall, in my opinion, our offense has underachieved relative to their talent the past 3 years.  Allocate that however you like.  It’s not one player or one factor.

    This just furthers my point.  Claiming Ewers is just a guy because he was surrounded by elite talent is fucking stupid, but here we are.

    I’m not following you.  Are you disputing my comments or just saying I’m a dumbass because I interjected the surrounding talent?
