  1. Shitty teams can have good players on the roster, sometimes great players. It's a team sport. You're completely missing the point. QE was the quarterback when Texas went from losing a lot of games to winning a lot of games, hence as QB he "led" the team over that transition. Do you see the logic?
  2. lol. We had shitty teams because we lost a bunch of football games. Not that hard.
  3. JFC he was the fucking quarterback. We went from shitty to (briefly) number one with him under center. What do you expect people to say?
  4. That was Penix on fire as much as anything, IMO, just playing totally out of his head, killing us.
  5. Pro Football Focus is a company. Wiki: "PFF is criticized by the analytics community regarding the accuracy and veracity of its ratings. In contrast to the purely quantitative ratings released by sources such as Football Outsiders, TeamRankings, and numberFire, PFF uses qualitative and opinion-based grading as the root of its 0–100 Player Grades – not its advanced statistics. As such, the 0–100 Player Grades are not truly quantitative and could be seen as being prone to bias, poor sample sizing, or other issues." Still, you're right. It's a metric saying QE was subpar (last year). But you're hanging your whole argument on that and where GMs drafted him and ignoring every traditional statistic (like passing and winning percentage), and treating your opinion as fact. Can't you see that?
  6. Herein lies the problem. Nobody is saying QE is great. Also, the mother-fucking general managers and owners of NFL teams aren't the end-all-be-all with regards to how good a QB was in college. Stats and records and program influence are what matter. And by any definition, QE was a good/solid fucking QB at Texas.
  7. Can't buy no gold chains with a scholly.
  8. I presumed there's no NIL at Troy St.
  9. He's getting money to play football for the first and last time, likely.
  10. Do you actually know any of this? Otherwise, I gotta say, it sounds like knitting-circle speculation.
  11. I wouldn't have had Barron winning the Thorpe, either, so I'll take that as a good sign. Moore has a lot to prove after some bad drops. Sounds like he's going the wrong direction.
  12. Yeah I put him in the 70's generation. I still think the Coens win since the 80's anyway.
  13. Name them. (I should have said 45 years. I don't mean guys who started in the 70s.) Again QT and PTA have the best arguments but they don't hold up IMO.
  14. Yep I kept things on this side of the pond to not tax my brain. Nolan's an ace for sure, though some of his scripts feel like they were put in a blender.
  15. Yes I should have said 45. I figured one of you dickwads would call that. I should have mentioned Llewyn Davis for sure. (Serious Man is also stellar).
  16. Who better, chief? I said 50 to stay away from the 70s generation. PTA and QT have an argument but have made less classics.
  17. Snob / hijack alert: the Coens have made at least five great films: Barton Fink, Raising Arizona, Fargo, No Country for old Men and The Big Lebowski. Millers Crossing ain’t far behind. True Grit too. They’re the best thing for American Film in the last 50 years.
  18. They were strong and organic. The little Mennonite-looking girl told me "don't eat any before you get home." If I were a promising O-lineman, maybe I would have listened to her, but probably not.
  19. Then why do they sell gummies that get you fucking stupid high at the bakery in town?
  20. The consensus is that Quinn was at least on the level of Sam, historically. Is Sam your definition of a mediocre Texas QB? https://www.si.com/college/texas/football/where-does-quinn-ewers-rank-in-texas-longhorns-qb-history-01jhnfrmkxh7
  21. This is fair. Contrary to all the fat-figured shit-talking ingrates on this board, Quinn was a good QB. He wasn’t great, nor was he “mediocre” or a “pussy” — he was solid, with flashes of absolute brilliance and total discombobulation. He also leaves us in the top five of practically every statistical category for Texas QBs.
