  1. If you think he would literally not be drafted, you might indeed be taking crazy pills.
  2. I’d say it’s a possibility given the timing of his injury.
  3. Well if he’d ridden the bench like he should instead of getting starts over Diaz, he might still be eligible AND Diaz might have gotten ROY. Still waiting for the day we thank Dusty for that.
  4. Somehow everyone always forgets about Applewhite’s major knee injuries.
  5. I’m not a Simms hater, but if he’d had the OL from Colt’s national championship run, he’d have ruptured his spleen before he made it to the NFL. With the 05 line, you have a point.
  6. The Mexican League needs catchers too.
  7. “I’m stunned. I’m pissed. It’s Mack Brown.” Probably not. I mean, they even win a World Series with Dusty Baker. Anything is possible.
  8. It was known beforehand. But that we have 2 weeks worth of watching him make Tom Brady look mobile now and someone STILL said it is amazing.
  9. Sigh…if you read through the entire exchange, you’ll note he argued that Card only played against poor competition while Ewers played against the best, the one exception being they both played against Alabama, where Ewers clearly outplayed him. You didn’t need to point that out; that was HIS point and assumed in my reply. My only point in bringing that up was that, even in his worst performance, Card still looked better than Ewers did at his worst, and it was against a superior opponent.
  10. He looked better against Bama than Ewers looked against OSU (an also-ran, not a who’s ago-a 7-6 team that finished below Texas Tech). That was probably the worst performance I’ve ever seen by a Texas QB. It made me long for Tyrone Swoopes. I don’t think you can look at that performance vs Card over the rest of the year against comparable opponents and argue with a straight face he wouldn’t have done better. But we’re getting far away from the point. I’m essentially agreeing with your argument just above that pulling the QB can hinder their development. I think that’s the same decision making process Sark went through then.
  11. You can make that same argument in reverse, though. Ewers’ worst game was against OSU, where he completed fewer than 40% of his passes and threw 3 picks. They finished the year ranked as the #115 in defense in college football-worse than any team Card started against. The point isn’t that he was a better player or that anyone would want him over Ewers today, but if he could have stepped in as relief and played better in a couple of specific games. Almost certainly so. But I think Sark made the decision to punt on the short term win for Ewers (and the team) to develop into what they are this season.
  12. Oh I don’t think that’s dubious at all watching Card last year vs Ewers in those two games. People never got over how Card looked as a freshman at Arkansas (ironically, given the tone of much of this thread) and allowed it to irrevocably color their judgment of him, where last year in relief he completed nearly 70% of his passes with only 1 INT. Ewers was absolute garbage in those games, throwing balls to no one in particular, completing less than half his passes, turning it over. It’s why we essentially abandoned the passing game against KU and Baylor. There’s no doubt in my mind Card would have outplayed him at that time if brought in based on his body of work last season-and I believe that’s precisely why he didn’t play him, because of the potential repercussions. He was willing to sacrifice the wins in the short term for the longterm development of Ewers (and the team). I hated that move last year; this year, you can argue it looks like it paid off.
  13. Oh come on. No one buys that. That doesn’t even make sense in the context of what you posted. It’s ok to admit when you’re wrong.
  14. The fact that they loop one section of “Shot Through the Heart” 73 times in the trailer rather than playing that glorious theme song makes me not want to see it.
  15. I would have thought Martin Maldonado behind the plate would have made any pitching decisions moot anyway.
  16. That made sense in the days before you could play and not burn the redshirt. Not so much now. Whatever “too early” means.
  17. In Colt's second year as a starter, Jevan Snead was sitting out the season at Ole Miss because he'd transferred.
  18. No, you’re the idiot who mistakes scheme for needless complexity. You probably got your football knowledge from The Waterboy and think Sark wakes around with a magic notebook where he draws up plays.
  19. If you keep making this nonsensical argument, maybe eventually you’ll be right. Or maybe you’ll sober up tomorrow and realize how dumb it is.
