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.

two of my HS buddies were with me and my dad hanging out outside the stadium after the spring game in (i believe) 2002, where we met and talked briefly with several of the players (i remember making a comment to roy williams about eating oreos fried in butter. he chuckled.), and chris simms was by far the coolest and most charismatic guy we met. really left all of us with a positive impression of him. as we were leaving one of us made a comment to him about “shaking the haters off”, and he goes, “man- FUCK THE HATERS!”, with a big smile on his face, then gave us a hook em and hopped into his ride. never had anutjing bad to say about him after meeting him. seemed like a great guy.

If y'all are going to pretend that 98 and 99 don't count then I'm going to say the 2000 game doesn't count because they won the national championship. Or maybe I won't do that, because it's disingenuous bullshit and not germane to the point anyone was making when this conversation started. 

And Major started in 2000. So that makes him 2-1 against the Sooners, which is still better than Simms or any recent QB not named Colt McCoy

And with that, I am now actually, but for real this time, done with this argument. 

.....might want to look up the guy whose name is in the thread title?

Simms sucked against OU. It is the one thing that holds me back from liking him as much as a lot of our less successful QBs. 

That said, in retrospect, it's clear that Simms wasn't the problem.

Which gets us back to this thread and the idiocy behind someone claiming that we only want Ewers to succeed in the NFL to win a stupid internet bitchslap fight.

No. Fuck that. 

We want Ewers to succeed in the NFL because he's a Longhorn. Because it looks good for Longhorns to do well in the NFL, it helps the program, and means one of our guys is doing well. But mostly... because he is a Texas Longhorn and always will be. 

Yep, I want any future Longhorn to do well in the league.  Texas hasn't had a lot of big time QB success in the league, honestly. 

Colt was career backup with 36 starts, VY was run out of the league by Fisher, Sam is a backup, Shane got cut, Simms started 16 games...

Hey, Gilbert has a super bowl ring as a backup lol

Sam had numerous game ending INTs (USC, Maryland) and couldn’t hit the broad side of a barn despite having LJH and Collin Johnson stretching out to make circus catches.

People admire Sam because he played with fire and burnt orange flowing through his veins despite playing for a food burning piss monitoring dictator who had no idea how to swing a sledgehammer.

Sam’s energy was comparable to having a massive raging boner like you were gonna fuck Baywatch Pam Anderson when the reality was more akin to going home to fuck a 600lb heffer who smells like shit. Herman inspired no confidence in anybody the way he talked down to everybody and Sam still was able to be fired up because he fucking loved playing football for UT.  

Sam was the 21st century James Brown -- an inspiring leader on some shitty teams with an arrogant "offensive minded" coach.

people need to try and film of him and rewatch it. go watch the a&m game in college station, or the lsu cotton bowl. he had the strongest arm at Texas since rick mcivor and he was firing that ball all over the field in a way that (especially when compared to our most recent starting qb) pops off the screen and wakes you say, “whoa.” when he was on, which was most of the time, he looked like an absolute pro. but just to repeat the point, go watch simms throw the ball 30 yards on a frozen rope, or 55 yards on the dot to roy or bj, and you’ll be taken aback at how much you’ve forgotten what he looked like and how he (usually) performed. he was very good, and fun to watch to boot.

They put him on the radar at the combine.  His arm strength was slightly below the average combine participant that year.  He threw a pretty ball.  His arm strength was just vastly overrated because he threw every short pass as hard as he could needlessly.

Again, he was an above-average QB.  If you think he was "very good" I will just have to agree to disagree.  And his records in games that really matter bear that out.  It is nice he beat A&M, who was shitty those three years in the waning Slocum days.  Or a 5 loss LSU team that Dennis Franchione's Alabama team beat by 30 in Baton Rouge.

The big wins people cite were not that big.  Shitty and unranked A&M three times.  Unranked 8-5 LSU.  7-7 Nebraska.  K State was a damn good team in 2002.  That's his best win.  And even then the offense managed two touchdowns.  

I cannot say he was even good given his shittastic record against OU and what he did against Colorado in the Big 12 Title game.  Four interceptions and a fumble against top 10 Oregon in 2000 Holiday Bowl.

I think a segment of our fanbase got to where they would oversteer praise for Simms in response to the deplorable treatment and criticism he received.

Sam was better than Simms.  Ewers was too.  Ash was on his way to being better.

We have a lot of shitty QBs in our top 10.  See passing yards -- Gardere and Brett Stafford are still there.

If you are talking about Peter ( I am the only Texas QB to ever beat OU 4 years in a row, not to mention during a particularly dark period in Texas football history providing some of the only brightspots on a dreary landscape ) Gardere then I'll thank you to keep his name out of your mouth when referencing shitty Texas QBs.  If you are referring to another Gardere we had at QB... by all means carry on.

Wow, just look at all the times OU blew us out under Mack Brown, with all these different QBs. I'm beginning to see a pattern here; it's almost like it doesn't matter who the QB was, we just sucked ass against them under Mack! Golly. It's almost like the facts support my argument, and blow yours into the toilet like the kinda diarrhea you get after the all-you-can-eat seafood buffet.

Laguna is repeatedly saying that Simms, objectively, was a mediocre QB at Texas.

I never said mediocre. Overrated/underachieving? For sure. 

38 minutes ago, SydneyCarton said:

I don't think you know what objectively means. He's statistically in the top 10 in almost every major passing category in Texas history, he did it in about 2 years worth of playing, and he, OBJECTIVELY, had a fucking retard as an OC. You've labeled him as an overrated underachieving QB. Well, how so? 

 

Chris Simms never excelled at UT. A very simple way to demonstrate that is he was never a first or second team all conference selection, by coaches or media. The two years worth of playing (if you discount 2000 when he was benched on two separate occasions), Eric Crouch, Kliff Kingsbury, and one Seneca Wallace were selected over him. You can scoff at that criteria if you want, but at the time those QBs were seen as better and more valuable players than Chris. Other relevant UT QBs that received such honors, Quinn 2nd team twice, Sam 2nd team once, Major one 1st one 2nd, and of course Colt and VY. 

As has been pointed out, top 10 in passing categories for the career is not the gotcha you think. If you want to get into how his stats stacked up with his peers we can do that. For all the talk about the horizontal passing game of GD he never completed over 60% of his passes in a season. Never in the top 20 in the country in a season. Yards per attempt 53rd in 2001, he did rise to 12th in 2002. That was his best standing in any one metric. 

He never won a conference title, famously made it to one conference championship game which was a disaster. His OU record speaks for itself.

Overall his tenure was disappointing, despite some great memories like Aggie victories and the Cotton Bowl over LSU. Overrated/underacheived.

Touchdown passes against OU with Greg Davis as OC

Chris Simms -- 0 TDs and 8 interceptions in 3 games (well, he threw a touchdown to the wrong Roy Williams in 2001) 

Vince Young -- 3 TDs in 3 games

Colt McCoy - 6 TDs in 4 games

Gilbert -- 0 in 1 game

David Ash  -- 1 in 2 games

Case McCoy -- 4 in 2 games

Simms was the worst of all these Greg Davis QBs against OU.

Hey, he had 2 TDs. They were rushing TDs, not passing TDs. But I don't think it's Simms' fault that they were rushing TDs, do you? See, I would wonder why the dumbfuck OC was calling rushing plays.

4 worst blowouts in TX-OU history for either side all had the same coaching staff leading them and several different QBs.

Weren't they just QB sneaks?  Nice and all.  But he had 4 fucking interceptions that game too.  HIs last "rushing TD" was in garbage time.  Game was over.

Finally, you've positioned yourself into a spot where you'll have to define something.

You say overrated/underachieving, and again I will ask, by what metric? Because, first, overrated/underachieving is usually code for someone's personal expectations of a player, which by it's very fucking nature, is emotional, and NOT objective. Which is why I've been asking you to define your nature of success and you come back with...

All Conference Selections? That's your metric. Selected by coaches and the media, the same coaches who always conspired against Texas and the same media that voted against VY for Heisman? During the same years Leach was going apeshit at QB at Tech. You know, it's almost like nuance matters. Cedric Benson was never a first team All Conference player, I don't believe in a year he scored the most points of anyone in the Big 12. 

Yes, yes I do believe I can scoff at your criteria. 

I'm not attempting to pull a gotcha, I've been directly asking you your criteria. And you came back with All Conference nods. No no, you please continue down this path.

Cedric was 2 time 1st team big 12, 1 time 2nd team big 12 in 2002 with Chris. Each of those years littered with other Longhorns. Try again.

I picked all conference selections because other Texas QBs with the same OC achieved it as well as other more recent QBs being discussed here achieved it. The game and stats change over time but the means of recognition doesn't.

And drop the conspiracy talk. That sounds like an emotional response.

Not sure how that wouldn't qualify as a great college career in anyone's mind, very similar to Colt McCoy with a slightly lower win %

Probably because you spiked it first, which was equally inane after his first rookie preseason game. Not that I didn't enjoy your bringing of receipts and general shit-stirring. But realistically, this argument won't be done and dusted for another year or two. Buckle in, boyos!

I don't know what your point that the lists were "littered with longhorns" proves We were talented teams. But I see a lot of STUPID fucking choices. Like Roy Williams a 2nd team WR behind Rashaun Woods and fucking Mark Clayton. Multiple years. 

I guess you're not aware of the entire Big 12 coaches voting Texas 5th one year and costing us a shot at a title. It's not a conspiracy theory, it's pretty plain in the voting. But of course, I never claimed it was objective. It's very much emotional. Much like Kirk Bohls voting for Reggie Bush for Heisman and Chip Brown writing hatchet articles about Texas. 

By the way, Big 12 awards are voting for by people, which is the definition of a subjective opinion, and shouldn't be considered objective criteria by any definition.

His tenure and accomplishments relative to his recruiting rankings and pedigree can be objectively viewed as less than overwhelming.  

He performed on campus and in games as you would expect a very solid 3* to perform if you look back at his tenure at the school.  This happens to a lot of highly rater players, who can also be said to under-performed, or even disappointed relative to their initial hype.  

This is also a sports message board - talking about player performance.  It's almost all subjective

His tenure and accomplishments relative to his recruiting rankings and pedigree can be objectively viewed as less than overwhelming.  

He performed on campus and in games as you would expect a very solid 3* to perform if you look back at his tenure at the school.  This happens to a lot of highly rater players, who can also be said to under-performed, or even disappointed relative to their initial hype.  

This is also a sports message board - talking about player performance.  It's almost all subjective

We're all subjective except for Sydney. He's our idiot savant.

Top row L to R: Gunnar, DeMarvion, Isaiah Bond 
2nd row L to R: Quinn, Casey Thompson, Colt (and wifey)
3rd row L to R: Arch, baby! Taaffe, Jordan Washington
4th row: L to R: Jahdae, Cedric Baxter, Quintrevion Wisner  

I am just really going to miss Jahdae Barron. He just seemed like everything we want in a player.

Was he the guy we'd hoped for, and many expected? Probably not. Were there varying degrees of responsibility for that, some, but not all, of which were on Simms? Absolutely. 

Your 3* comment is fucking stupid. Below is a link of the top 3 star QBs, via 247, from the 2022 class. The 3 stars start at #19. It's recent enough that most of these guys would/could have played football if they'd been developed worth a shit. Tell me which of these guys has a career as good as Simms?

I'll fucking wait. I only recognized 4 names in that list, maybe, but by all means please tell me which of these guys mirrors the career of Chris Sims. Much less how his career would equal the "average" of all those shitbirds. I can do this for 2021 if you like too. 

You're right. Sports message boards are subjective. It was Laguna who insisted that, OBJECTIVELY, simms had an underwhelming career.

He certainly was, and unlike Isaiah Bond, he took care of his business when it mattered most and didn't screw up his biggest opportunity. I do hope Isaiah recovers from this and Johntay, as well, who seems to be back on track.

You fucking walked right into this one didn't you.

Major Applewhite was not rated by a modern star system because he was a high school recruit in the mid-1990s, before recruiting services like Rivals and Scout were established.

If his class were re-evaluated under modern systems, most analysts say he would have likely been a 3-star recruit - very good but not seen an elite nationally

This entire fucking thread is about Applewhite vs Simms.   Simms vs a fucking THREE STAR RECRUIT on his own damn team.  Who many, many people see as outplayed him and outperformed him during their respective times at the school.

You illiterate twat, I didn't walk into shit. For starters, lets get to the illiterate part; this thread is literally about Quinn Ewers. My derailing conversation was about evaluating Chris Simms, objectively, which it's pretty obvious a lot of people can't do even when they say they're evaluating him objectively.

You literally said Simms had the career of an "average 3 star." You think cherry picking Major Applewhite, or any 3 star who's gone on to be a STAR QB even, is some kind of gotcha? YOU HAVE TO PICK THE AVERAGE GUY. I gave you a list of 100 players from a single class that were 3 stars, find me the ONE that has a career equal to simms, much less the average of them together. 

Major Applewhite is completely irrelevant. Hell I'm pretty sure Colt McCoy was a 2 star, if not that he was certainly a 3 star. Josh Allen wasn't rated. Sam Bradford was a 3 star. Pat Mahomes, 3 star. 

Exceptions PROVE the rule, you doofus.

Eric Crouch was a great college QB.  It's why he won the Heisman Trophy.

 

Look at his stats and tell me to my face he was a great college QB.

He ran the option and was damn good at it.  He was a fantastic college QB.  59 rushing touchdowns.  3500 rushing yards.  Top 10 scoring offense each of the three years he was a starter.  Yes you fucking imbecile, he was a great college quarterback.
