@satyanash thank you for the khan article above

fanstastic actual real journalism - no hate engine input - objective and fair

+++

@MaxHorn and i were talking last night and he mentioned the meme of running backs coming back in to vogue in the league

if that trend expands and continues teams may start building to win the old-fashioned way without requiring a mahomes to win

can you win in the league without a world-class deep game?

to be seen

jim mcmahon was a piece of glass and has a ring - of course he had ryan's defense and payton - but maybe there is a path to being the starter with the right team and "being remembered" as he says he wants to be

so good for him - he is aiming higher than being the next chase daniel

colt should have been a starter - was far better than daniel (as we saw in the night game showdown between the 2) - but made $20m less - strange leauge

I wish one of these loan sharks would just deal with that prick bastard.

in this case the $8m rumor makes us look good - playing for Texas was important - not the amount of money he was paid to do so

This is wrong, good or bad posts from forums. If one particular player being called out doesn’t see it, friends or teammates will forward it to them. And I know this from a younger brother of a great d1 player that is friends with my kiddo. They see it.

Way back in the day, this would've been when the AAS was still running a message board, I did some work on a fan site and what I did was tape all the games, then used a video capture thingy connected to my vcr and my computer to put shitty little clips up of game highlights.  There was one game that was super shitty and we lost, and I updated that I wasn't planning to make videos for that game unless I got a bunch of requests from the readers.  I only got 1 request, but it was from Ricky Williams, or at least someone who had access to his utexas email address.  Even back then, the players were looking at this stuff.

I think people forget what Sam did

43 starts:

923-1476, 11,436 yards, 94 Tds and 27 int. rushed 554 att, 1903 yds, 33 Tds, with 3 fumbles. That is a 127 TDs and 30 turnovers. That is 1 turnover per 67.7 touches vs a TD every 16 touches. Averaged 266 yards/game, which is more than Colt and Ewers. Averaged 3 TDs a game over his career. Managed to do all that and never missed a start his last 3 years, despite being Herman's short yardage sledge hammer

 

Sad that I wasn't paying much attention to Texas football during that time. Would have liked to see more of Sam in action. The greatest hits on YouTube are pretty fantastic of him as a player and Longhorn.

How did he drop to the 6th round in the draft?

Thanks for remembering that Colt vs Chase night game, 2008. Just fantastic on so many levels.   Walking out along San Jacinto was solid drunken high 5’s all the way to Scholz.

I will always wonder what if he would have used his COVID year and played for Sark. I think Sam would have killed it under Sark.

My second favorite game of my undergrad era (2008 OU was #1), but my #1 home game, by far.  Just an inch above when we killed Taylor Potts in 2009.

Since you brought up Ricky and were talking about people reading forums.

I had some personal interactions with Ricky while he was at Texas and after. I don't remember the forum name anymore, but I wrote a post thanking Ricky, referring to how we met, how genuinely cool and kind I thought he was and what an amazing player. It was a bit long cat... but you get the point.

I got a pretty long DM of thanks and gratitude, not from Ricky, but from his Mom. 

So, they do read stuff, so do their parents, the talking heads and the people who produce content I known is read by Surly.

Nice to see his stock rising. Have to imagine workouts and interviews will help. It's revealing that Dart was such a riser after the Senior Bowl: this is a thin class and teams are desperate.

It's not surprising.  He essentially made a promotion to the toughest league in college football and his numbers plateaued.  He turned it over more this year, but he did face much better defenses.  I think the biggest issues were the deep balls to Wingo this year.  It's certainly possible that he never was on the same page with the 2 freshmen who I expect to make huge leaps next year with Arch.  We know that Quinn can read defenses.  We know that he can throw with anticipation.  None of that is surprising.  People just expected Quinn to be great and he was just very good instead.  That's disappointing when expectations are at the top.

We also don't know the extent of his oblique injury.  It was not ideal to come back against a great defense in Oklahoma with another great defense in Georgia right behind it to shake off the rust and get acclimated to game speed again.

Yikes. I Quinn practices releasing the ball faster - like Marino fast.

Turns out Mixon isn’t Hurts or Lamar Jackson. He’s going to plummet. 
 

I’m sure Quinn is balling out with no pass rush he’s got great passing skills. 
 

Hope he goes somewhere stable and sits for a few years and gets really sharp in the pocket.

With that in mind, I think the Rams would seem like an ideal landing spot.

Yeah, Quinn needs an offense that helps him get the ball out quicker.  Rams might work, wonder if 49ers consider taking Quinn if he falls out of the 1st Rd ??

If there's one place you don't want a QB to go, it's the Browns. If there are two places you don't want a QB to go, it's the Browns and the Jets.

The casuals will still credit our ascension to Quinn. Sarks staff has been recruiting and developing at an elite level. Dogs everywhere.  I’ll always love Quinn though for his treatment of OU, Aggy, and Hog.

Should add Michigan and Alabama. Prior to going out in his first game with Alabama, he was dealing in that one too.

Great info found by @Fud  (pretty damn accurate)

From Daniel Jeremiah  annual Q&A conference call with industry reporters

"Ewers... there's a few guys that are on my list to go back after the combine and go back to '23 tape because.. I know he wasnt' healthy this year but he didn't take the step I was hoping he'd take.. he is still young at 21, hes' got quick feet quick release.. he just got into a lot of bad habits, I didn't think he played with any convinction, not trusting what he's seeing, just really sloppy with his feet, and everything kind of got away from him.. the team had tremendous success and he obviously made some big time throws in the playoffs, but.. overall not the step forward I was hoping for him"

Sark wasted a national championship caliber defense on a guy who was injured. Fucking sad.

You're assuming that healthy Arch > injured Quinn. You may be right, but we really aren't in a position to know. 

hope that Sark wouldn't allow his loyalty to Ewers or pride in his ability to develop QBs to lead to a decision that negatively affects the team. And we really haven't seen anything in Sark's conduct that suggest we should assume that's the case. He is maybe a little too loyal, but he's not loyal to a fault. He pulled Ewers and brought Arch in against UGA in Austin - turns out UGA was just going to kick our ass regardless of who was under center. You also can't discount the limited ceiling of our run game and the impact it had on the rest of our offense. Passing game can't afford to be simple / predictable if teams know you're not going to run. A more experienced QB can open up the playbook. 

To be fair, I'm making a lot of assumptions myself. But I'm willing to give Sark the benefit of the doubt here - even injured, Ewer's experience probably gives him the edge over Arch.

Quinn is absolute dog shit off injuries, so yes a healthy Arch is better than Quinn. When your QB won't move or make plays outside the pocket they're fucking useless. Insert all the self sacks
