I remember a poster back then arguing that Sam would never beat out Buechele and would transfer without ever playing a meaningful down for Texas. Pretty sure it was on Shaggy. Not sure if that was @Derkaor not, but this might be what you're referencing Treaty. If it was Derka, I guess it's true he never said anything about his success in college, just that it would never be at Texas.

He started it in the Sam Ehlinger recruitment thread and continued into the regular threads. I stayed quiet and saved all the most notorious posts trashing Sam, and then shared them all in one long post after Texas beat OU in 2018, 48-45. Derka had several juicy quotes in there and went ballistic after I posted it. It was epic.

i’m not a liar. honestly is a virtue that’s very important to me. and i literally never said that sam ehlinger would never be a success in college. you made that up. 

Here is a post I just pulled up post-OU 2018 when someone besides myself says exactly what I said you said: You were down on him before he even got to Texas and said he wouldn't be a success at Texas. This is just one example I pulled up. 

Again, I respect you and I am glad you are here, because you make this a better place, but own it.*

I’m so happy for Sam, he fucking balled out today. . I love the way he plays QB, he takes hits and keeps on going. His decision making has been on point since Maryland.  He’s not very fast but makes the most out of every run.  Hookem and Congrats Sam!

Also, can Derka be banned from this thread?  Pegged Sam as a likely transfer candidate before he even stepped foot on campus and has shit on him until today.  Derka you don’t know one thing about how to evaluate QB play or football in general and you should really just shut the fuck up and stick to the basketball board.

 

*I got my ass handed to me in the dreaded Alec Baldwin Cloak Room thread when I accused someone of not having expertise in my field and they nailed me, but I owned it.

Not arguing the depth chart, I'm laughing at all the experts that said Quinn wasn't an NFL caliber QB.  We all know who they are.

1) I think that everyone on this board likes Quinn.

2) Everyone hopes that he can earn an NFL paycheck as long as possible.

3) NFL QB and NFL caliber QB are not the same thing.

You can be on an NFL roster and not be of the caliber needed to play in the NFL. You can also be of the caliber to play in the NFL and yet not be on a roster.

Go Quinn!

Go Sam!

Go all Texas players who probably aren’t good enough, but keep making a roster!

Go all Texas players who have just been cut and who hopefully catch on somewhere else or on the practice squad!

They are by definition the same thing in one direction (it's possible to be NFL caliber but not in the NFL; the reverse is not). The problem is people saying "NFL caliber" when they mean "quality NFL caliber" instead.

Yeah, this isn't difficult, but here we are.

Nice try. You started by saying he would never be a success in college, which was  statement you made when he was still a recruit. You then said he would not make it in the NFL nor be drafted. In one respect, you were correct. He has obviously not been a huge success in the NFL, but he has been successful in creating a career in the NFL, which is very difficult.

I am proud of Sam because, like Taaffe, he has overcome a lack of top-end talent with hard work and sheer grit.

I remember all slights against Chap players, because, well, I'm sad and insane.

Now I awaiting to see if @Helobious will change his stated view that Klubnik would never be a college success because he is a system QB, and @closetojumping who also thought Klubnik was limited.   

 

I didn't want Texas pursuing Klubnik. I think I wrote something like "let him go be whiteboy awesome somewhere else" and I am glad it all worked out. The guy was worthless in 2023. He was fine last year but he's wildly overrated at this point. He plays in a dogshit conference with superior talent around him, so he'll look great and likely be a Heisman contender. None of that invalidates that I didn't want him anywhere near Texas and I am still thankful Sarkisian saw it the same way. 

In short, eat your fucking shit on this one. I didn't say the guy couldn't put it together at the college level. If me not wanting him at Texas hurts your widdle feels, I can live with that. Texas has Arch Fucking Manning starting on Saturday and part of that was because Sarkisian looked at the landscape and decided he'd rather go after him than some long-striding system guy at Westlake that you idiots and Dabo Swinney like to run around honking about. 

Don't summon me to this off the rails, bloviating thread loaded with you and other imbeciles again.

So to be clear, in your mind, the only reason he is any good is because he's in a terrible conference and has really good players around him.

Westlake > University of Texas 

Haha, over the last 15 years, that actually might be true:

  • Consistent excellence over 15 years vs UT's clown show 2010-2022
  • More competent, consistent coaching 
  • More NFL success. Texas had their first player score in the Super Bowl last year, while Westlake has had two Super Bowl MVP's since 2010

Grown ass men "keeping receipts" from message board arguments.  Brilliant.

Congrats on making it to the league, Quinn.  Maybe Dolphins fans won't suck as much ass as Texas "fans".

I mean I sort of agree with ctj on Klubnik.  He started playing well in the second half of our game.  Let's see if he remains consistent.  He put up most of his numbers against turd teams.

A lot of people are predicting them to go far, but of course, none of that matters 'til it does.

Maybe I should've laid down some money on him in Vegas too.  I put $100 on Arch and $50 on Jeremiah Smith.

Smith is a very solid bet QB item aside.
