  1. oak hill, st.anthony’s, montverde…barking abbey.
  2. CC is already 3rd all time in triple doubles lol. she might be the best player since cheryl miller.
  3. it’s especially crazy considering how small that ball is. the league avg for FT’s should be >80%.
  4. plus rodman was a much better overall player. i’d liken angel reese to ron artest or anthony mason.
  5. they should have been caught, especially the pass to roy.
  6. holy shit, can you imagine QE playing in gdgd’s offense behind the 2009 o line? he would not have survived half the season.
  7. you’re quoting stats comparing different eras, different offenses, and wildly different supporting casts. i’m talking about what each qb was capable of and how he performed week to week. QE and Simms are nowhere near the same player.
  8. you misspelled “100% correct.” simms was firing the ball into roy on timing routes, one of QE’s most glaring weaknesses. what’s next, QE was just as good with his legs as colt was? stop it.
  9. “god forbid”, give me a break. the two aren’t even close. simms choked in some big games, with plenty of help from mack and gdgd, but on a week to week/overall basis it’s truly not close. size, strength, accuracy, the ability to fire the ball into tight windows, the ability to make progressions, and a general lack of abject fear of the pass rush- simms >>> quinn. it’s truly not close. you really think that chris simms, surrounded by the 2024 offense + coaching staff gets shut down by the likes of kentucky, arkansas, and asu? i don’t think so. simms was a well above average qb who choked in some big games. QE was a below average QB despite having the best surrounding cast in america. this ain’t even a debate.
  10. lol, go watch roy’s highlights from that game. quinn ewers literally cannot make those throws. amyome here who thinks that QE is even close to as good as chris simms either wasn’t around back then or is drunk off the kool-aid. switch QE and quinn and simms has at least one national title while quinn makes sure we get low here near that terrible 2001 big xii title game.
  11. chris simms (coached by mack and gdgd) dominated a team coached by nick saban (hc), jimbo fisher (oc), will muschamp (dc), and kirby smart (st). simms at his best >>>>>>>>> QE.
  12. yeah, he’s up there, but at his best he was so much better than QE ever was. go back and watch that A&M game Roy’s freshman year. Simms looked like the biggest lock for no.1 overall pick ever in that game. big, strong, accurate, *huge* arm, just firing missiles all over the field. he also no doubt had a toughness about him that QE just doesn’t have.
  13. re: sam- when he was still in HS and committed to Texas i went to the recruiting board and posted that, imo, sam was good at everything but great at nothing, that he wasn’t good enough to qb a title winning team, and that, again, imo, he’d never pass beuchele on the depth chart, and that i foresaw him transferring before he ever got the starting job. as someone who’d never previously visited the recruiting forum, i was wildly unaware of the hornets nest i had just walked into. from that point forward, a metric shit ton of westlake/Texas fans swore up and down that i hated sam ehlinger, and thus made me the target of their indefatigable ire. after sam won the starting job, the vitriol was flying at me from every direction. people just spiking the ball in my face left and right. fair enough. but me being me (and i stand by this to this day), i still maintained that, “he’s not as good as y’all think he is.” and he wasn’t. two offseasons in a row there was heisman talk, and when i scoffed, you guessed it-more vitriol. then, his senior year, i said that sam would never lock down an nfl starting qb job, which again, made a lot of people react hysterically, as if their child had just been shot or something equally tragic. the bombastic and emotional reactions to my takes on sam never accurately reflected anything that i said or felt about him, but good luck convincing the hive mind otherwise. that’s just the way it is: 90% of the “derka’d” threads on this site take place in this forum (a place i hardly visit), and 100% of those “derka’d” threads involve people becoming incensed because i say and feel, “darling qb ‘x’ isn’t as good as y’all think he is.” and, ftr, 100% of the time i’ve been right. same with shaka, GoT, ted lasso, rick and morty, etc. you name it. when people here like something, they by and large cannot handle a dissenting opinion. anyone who doesn’t parrot the party line “hates” the player, the coach, the tv show, etc. this feeling is pervasive throughout this site. in conclusion: i’ve always liked sam; i will always root for him; people here are by and large insanely blinded through burnt orange tinted glasses, and they handle opposing opinions as well as chris farley handles being lied to about the coffee he’s drinking. in never going to back down when the crowd hates my opinion, and the crowd is going to hate every dissenting opinion i have. the cycle will repeat. i am at peace with this.

    seeing him go 4 to charlotte would make me very happy. he’d thrive in that offense.
