  1. I didn't say he would be better than Arch as a QB generally. I said he will likely be better at one specific skill that takes time to learn. We have most of a season of Arch's play to know that right now quick processing is a weakness. We also have Caldwell's play this season and from his prior stops to know that generally he is pretty good at making quick decisions (but not always correct decisions). No one has said that. We already have ample evidence that reading comprehension is a weakness of yours. You don't need to provide any more.
  2. Yeah. The interceptions are definitely a concern. Arch has been really careful with the ball. Even more concerning is Arch is responsible for 81% of our offensive touchdowns this season. Our overall production is meager, and having to replace 81% of it is frightening.
  3. Yes, I did. I'm sorry you can't read. I expect that Caldwell will likely be faster than Arch at reading defenses and making decisions. That's just part of the difference between a fifth-year player and a third-year player. It is also something that we know Arch is slow at (so far). That said, Arch's pocket awareness and navigation is elite. And he has the ability to make NFL level throws and does so on a regular basis. If our offensive line can protect him at all, I think Caldwell can play well, and we will see an offense that is somewhat more consistent down to down, but significantly less explosive. However, if we are giving up pressure up on the middle regularly, things are unlikely to go well. While Caldwell is mobile, it is a lot to expect him to have anywhere near Arch's ability to elude free rushers.
  4. I actually agreed with you that we have very little data to know. I just said that you inaccurately described his pass against Florida. Stop being a stupid child.
  5. I didn't do that. Go re read my post.
  6. We are playing from behind because our oline is terrible. It isn't because of Wingo. Replacing him doesn't fix your problem.
  7. It's fine so long as you admit your opinion is terrible. Wingo is the big play threat in this offense. Getting rid of our explosiveness, the only real trait we can rely on right now, is stupid. We should look to utilize him differently maybe. Take him off the field? Fuck no.
  8. Don't be an ass. Your argument was that we had no plays demonstrating that. You were wrong. Limited evidence is still some evidence. I think the reality is that the more experienced QB is going to be better at that part of the game. Arch has other attributes that he has demonstrated recently that will be very tough to match.
  9. I don't think you understand what the NFL is looking for. They aren't killing their draft stocks at all. They are demonstrating other skill sets that the NFL will value and showing they can be complete every down players. While I personally think we are a little too conservative at times on defenses, especially in teams that should be overmatched by our line, Simmons learning to drop into coverage isn't a bad thing for his NFL future. I think I also saw you (or maybe it was someone else) complaining that Hill's stats are way down this year. I think people forget we played 16 games last year. He had 113 total tackles (59 solo) or 7 tackles per game (3.6 solo). This year he is averaging... 7.5 tackles per game (3.8 solo). He has lower sack numbers (but those tend to come in bunches), but has already matched his interception total (1) and nearly matched his FF total (4 last year, 3 this year) in 8 fewer games. Simmons is averaging .8 sacks per game vs .56 last year. His total tackles per game is about the same as last year (3).
  10. While your overall point about limited evidence is correct, the Florida throw was not a one-read quick action pass play. It was his second or third read in a standard drop back on 2nd and 22. He got the ball at 35 seconds left and the ball was out at 32 seconds left. This came directly after Arch on first and 10 got the ball with 55 seconds left and took a sack at 51 seconds left.
  11. New motto?
  12. The ball was basically magnetized to his hands as soon as he touched it. Amazing catch.
  13. Yup. I'll also add, I see her response as more of a protective move for her sources that may be upset if the reporting has a negative effect on any potential deal.
  14. I think she is saying her source is legitimate. It wasn't Sark or Sexton. She understands why Steve is mad, but also she is pointing out that he isn't saying "I'm staying at Texas". That seems pretty fair to me.
