I am glad for Quinn because I had the honor of hanging with him and really liked him as a person. 

Well in another sub on this board you have very normal brained people hoping that a black guy deals him a career ending injury. Cause reasons or something.

This is a perfect addition to the Quinn Ewers thread to show that nothing ever changes around here.

Here is my post I cited from the Sam Ehlinger 2018 thread page 35 that I posted an hour after Sam led the win over OU. I had been collecting a tiny bit of the Sam vitriol from the thread and shared it after the game. I cited all the posters for each comment and I have to admit that some of them are pretty funny! You can see the usual suspects below, haha.  

Apparently, I had apolgized to you, @Derka, but had retracted my apology for the below comments, which is funny.  

And @closetojumping, you seem to not have been too big a fan of Sam. Just saying. And @6th Street, before the game, you wanted to switch us to switch to Kyler and OU takes Sam.

I went back and pulled these comments from this thread. All of these comments were posted here AFTER our first victory at K-State since 2002. I'll let the words speak for themselves. Moving forward, my greatest hope is that we support our players, cause they're really awesome. 

 

"Not at all. I just prefer to have a different type of QB than what Sam has to offer." T’Boo Ted Marshall

"...in other words we wouldn't be surprised if blitz packages and disguised coverages lead sam to turning the ball over, or if OU decides to blitz on every single 3rd down and 4+ because sam has proven that he can't hit an open wr even when he has a clean pocket. we won't be surprised if accounting for 6 total offensive points vs OU results in a blowout loss." Goo Punch

"Either they teach Sam how to throw a football or find someone who does. Beck gets paid $800k to coach our QBs." 6th Street

"That first long pass where the WR was all alone and Sam missed him by a mile, I think that there’s no fixing that." XYZ

"I don’t think his football IQ will improve much…" closetojumping

"I don’t think Ehlinger is good enough to merit the other guys not pushing him or not passing him. ...unless Mehlinger just totally shuts it down by being a part of a 12-2 season here this year or something." closetojumping 

"Outside of mocking Lolinger…" closetojumping

"He is inaccurate, that is fact. Completion % be damned. Watch the game with your eyes." Fico

"Half of his completed passes are shit throws that if he was accurate would go for considerably more yardage." Fico

"That is not opinion, it’s fact." Fico

To which Viper responded...

"…Yeah, I'm really not sure why people can't agree with this."

"We would have a much better shot at winning this Sat if we could trade QBs with OU" 6th Street (My personal favorite) 

"Sam could learn a thing or two from Case McCoy on how to hit an open WR." 6th Street (this one is also pretty amazing) 

"...we're still allowed to point out that he hasn't exactly been inspiring a lot of confidence in his play heading into the ou game." Goo Punch

"…because we're winning none of his obvious flaws matter or are allowed to be discussed. because we're winning we all have to sit around slurping our mediocre qb, right?Goo Punch (Goo Punch, I retract my apology)

I stand by my original statement. 
 

Unless I’m wrong he was well liked by his teammates despite all the hype and being the highest paid player. I never heard any differently. That should be good enough for these so called “fans” of our football team. 
 

Good luck to Quinn. Miami looks like a good landing spot for him. Zach Wilson is ahead of him and he can’t inspire much confidence in McDaniel.

I find it kind of sad that you both saved posts from 7 years ago and also feel some sort of need to recall them, but I'll humor you due to your effort.

Ehlinger is the most overrated player to have ever taken a snap at Texas. He was a fine concussed battering ram for Tom Herman when there was a need for that, but you and others stan for him as though he's some sort of deity. He had an okay record in college for a guy with the accuracy of WW2 bomber scope and he's managed to hang on as a fringe guy in the NFL. We'll see him glomming on to the Texas media machine for a paycheck soon enough and idiots like you can jack off to his image regularly when that happens. So you have that going for you. Or maybe he'll go sell real estate with other former spare QBs like Chance Mock and Case McCoy, I don't know.

When you clowns attempt to reference posts about Ehlinger being a mediocrity as some sort of "receipt", I laugh. Like not metaphorically, but literally. It's one of the things a few of you cling to that you think bothers me in some way, and I find it predictable but sadly entertaining, like watching reruns of Cheers. The guy was okay in college. That anyone finds his college performance as some sort of validation for their fandom speaks to the reality that there is always a dumbest person on a thread or a board. The world needs the simpleton, God love'em.

Ummm, what? 

Squints, Heard, Swoopes... There are multiple more overrated QBs in the past 15 years, let alone players, to have ever taken a snap at Texas. 

I'm not advocating for Ehlinger as some phenom, but he was a very productive player for us during what otherwise could have been another horrendously shitty couple of years at Texas during an already horrible stretch historically for the program. The dude willed us to victory despite a myopic egomaniac as his HC, glaring other roster inefficiencies, and has only gotten better in the NFL (although, he did just get cut). Sure, many here have an inflated opinion of his skillset at Texas, but the dude should be celebrated for many reasons.

Maybe we have different definitions of the word "overrated". Who is even rating the three guys you referenced? I'm talking about players that are beloved or liked by the masses for perceived performance. Anyone talking up those three for any reason besides one game against ND for Swoopes or a couple of early season ethereal tilts in like 2015 for Heard is out of their fucking mind and not worth having discussion. I don't even recall anyone ever speaking about Gilbert's time at Texas positively.

You can't swing a dead cat around Texas fans without someone telling you what a great QB Sam Mehlinger was/is. To me, this is night and day. I am not saying I Am Sam sucked, far from it.

He was overrated considering how much adoration he received.  We all knew Swoopes, Heard, etc. were limited and failed early and often....paving a long road of expectations and hope.  Sam performed marginally better and everyone went full aggy-savior, putting this guy on a pedestal way above his actual performance.

Sam's story is a bit Rudy, a bit Vince Papale, and a bit legit.  I can understand why some Texas fans deify him.  He was far from a bad athlete, but he was far from an elite athlete, too.  "Tough" goes a long ways.  One of my HS friends was about as everyday an athlete as they come, but he was fucking relentless.  Ended up having a cup of coffee in MLB when we all told him to give up baseball after high school.  He was having none of that.  D1 to juco back to D1 to rookie to A (you get the idea).  Still coaches in the minor leagues.  Some guys just don't quit, and a lot of weekend warrior types see their reflection in that.

Sam's biggest issues were the teams around him weren't very good. Objectively he was a damn good QB for us...

This makes sense. I was mainly talking about their recruiting ranking/perceived impact they would have vs. the actual results they generated at Texas. I agree with the premise that Sam's production certainly outweighed his skill, but he was a perfectly fine QB at Texas. Had he had a better roster and coaching staff around him, Texas would have had some serious potential.

The correct answer is Chris Simms. Arrived in a limo, had repeated position battles with a JAG, never even had an all conference selection. Fumbled some of the most talented rosters in Texas history. Pretty straightforward.

I negged you not because you have a dumb fucking take, which you do, but because you're new here and seem to be under the impression that there aren't consequences for being voluminous and just spraying the board with stupid shit. Rep is sadly our only currency, but it can be used to ultimately crowdsource out early new poster stupidity.

I'm not sure there's a single player who gets run over more from our own fanbase, undeservedly, than Chris Simms. The guy was top 10 in most statistical UT categories in about two cobbled together years of QBing. More than that, people on campus and off, during college and after, have treated the guy like dogshit, personally. I don't blame the guy for having nothing to do with the University of Texas. And I say all that as a Major guy during the time. The guy went 26-6 as a starter, for fuck's sake. 

I watch PFT from time to time, and enjoy Simms and his takes. He still gives love to Longhorn players and will throw out a hook em when they do well.

Sam was pretty great if you think that a QB waiting until a target is standing still in a wide open area before throwing the ball is how QBs should play.

Yeah, because he's not a piece of shit. He loved his teammates, and he liked Austin, but he hasn't been back willingly and hasn't affiliated himself with Texas at all. For a reason.

CTJ and I have worked with a woman who dated Simms for awhile in college. She is a foreigner, and doesn't give any fucks about football, which was a big appeal for Simms. She tells some pretty horrific stories about how he was treated on campus. Prank phone calls at all hours, death threats after bad games, being jeered and heckled when he was on campus by other students. Imagine being Chris Simms, looking like he looked, and basically locking yourself in your apartment with a woman who didn't understand or give a fuck about football as a refuge from the shit he received. 

And it's pretty obvious a lot of those kids heckled him have moved onto message boards.

He's talked about it on his show. People telling him that his dad got him in at Texas. He said "I'm not even sure my dad knows where I went to college. He didn't care at all. It wasn't my dad on the phone to Mack Brown bitching about my playing time".

whenever i call someone out for being wrong i bring the receipts and respond to them directly. if you’re going to call me out, then:

and

b)bring some actual receipts. 

you people keep making up shit that’s never happened to further your own fanatical takes, which is why you literally are never able to actually cite or quote anyone saying anything that you’ve accused them of. 

so just to recap: you guys spaz out over my opiniones, you take zero accountability when you’re proven wrong, you claim to hate me and my takes and how i derail the threads and make them all about me, but then you insist on calling me out over and over, making it about me, claiming that i was wrong when i said (insert some shit that i’ve literally never said before that you just made up), and then when i actually use receipts and quoted posts to call you out, you once again melt down and beg for me to be banned.

but im the problem poster, right? lol y’all are wild.

I didn't "save" any posts. I just went to the Sam Ehlinger thread and pulled it. No big deal. 

I'll let you guys handle the finer points of playing QB. Just showing how people here trashed Sam days before he played one of the greatest games by a Texas QB against OU. And yes, I am proudly hopelessly biased. I supported Ewers and will support Manning. Hope Sam lands on a team.

You don't have to feign giving a shit about players that aren't from Westlake. Anyone who has been on this site for any period of time knows that you're a Westlake stan first and foremost and anything else, including Texas football, is an afterthought. 

Just one other thing, though. The next time you're masturbating on a Zoom call with Sam, will you do the rest of us a favor and ask him if Texas is back?
