How many of his passes were actually vertical downfield in this game and not to the sidelines? 

Who fucking cares? He made enough completions to keep the chains moving and help us win the game. He didn't turn the ball over either. We didn't have a ton of possessions in this game, he did enough to come away with a win. If he forces the ball down the field and takes unnecessary risks, we might be talking about a loss right now.

Yea that doesn’t work against good defensive teams, that’s why we should care.  The chains didn’t enough in the second half.  Are we settling now for a qb that doesn’t throw well but doesn’t turn it over now...,  ok.

Again, and forever, the problem isn't Sam, it's the offensive line. Dude's proven he's pretty accurate, he can run, don't know what else you want. He's probably better than Tebow was, if you judge by the numbers. Maybe he needs to love Jesus more.

K State is good on D. They suck because they can't put any points on the board. 

They're probably better on D at home than OU will be in Dallas.

Does this guy watch the same games as us?  Yea he’s accurate in lateral passes.....

Sam isn't a good QB. But he's currently a net positive. He's making smart plays even if he isn't capable of hitting all the throws consistently.

He's keeping the seat warm which will help us recruit better talent in the long run.

Yep, the OL was below average and awful when they put Shackelford in the game. The running game only exists due to the greatness of a hobbled Ingram, and the tenacity of Watson.

Yea, it was crazy how quickly the offensive line fell apart when Shack went in. We need our OL to stay healthy

He's playing good if he hits those other throws, he would be playing amazing. We need him to play amazing in order to beat the likes of OU and West Virginia this year.

You mean the ones down field vertically, those.  Just saw on the after show C. Johnson tied his career high for TD in a season 3..   That’s a travesty, I’m just so tired of not having a qb.  If we get down against OU hopefully Shane gets a chance and hit those deep throws like he did as a freshman

Bitches gonna bitch. Who the shit cares. 4-1. 1st time we've won at K-State in what, forever.

Enjoy the win against a program that has dominated us at there home for what twenty years. If this is one his worse games and we win, I will take it.

1 offensive touchdown. The natives have good reason to be restless.

Sam through 5 games:

1,185 passing

64.7% 

9 TDs / 2 INTs 

153 rushing 

3 TDs

Sam's not mediocre at all.  He's good and getting better.  Still rough around the edges and misses some throws. He's completing a good percentage, protecting the ball well.  Overall his passing is OK, but add in his ability to run and move the chains makes him a good step above average.

The offense scored 10 points.  I'd say it was more along for the ride than a contributor to the win.

He's not better than Tebow and Tebow was wildly overrated.  This board used to understand that but now many people seem to aspire to having our own.

Not his best game, but we won. We tend to win with him playing QB. Hes SCRAPPY as the coaches say. Dude caught a batted ball and took off with it full speed trying to get the first down.

Against OU, I think he can have his coming out party. We got A TON of talent at receiver. He just needs to connect on some deep balls like he did against USC and TCU. Once their shit-tier defense is on their heels, we run it strait down their fucking ass. Then we run it some more. Then some more.

You have to remember you're talking to a group a few weeks ago that was complaining about him throwing deep too much.

Scrappy is the wrong word. Case McCoy was scrappy. Major Applewhite was scrappy. 

Sam is a baller. Just like Tebow or Johnny. 

He does stupid shit and is kind of inconsistent but he makes plays. He's the best athlete we've had at QB since Vince.

Tebow had 9.3 yards per attempt for his career and 66% for his career. I don't remember him ever having been a good passer, but that's a damn good number. Sam doesn't have that. 

Tebow had a national championship team surrounding him from cradle to grave, so I suspect that's the difference. Visually he's about like Tebow, but a better passer. Best since Colt, no doubt.

He's dumb as a fucking brick, but he's got good natural talent and a nice arm when his feet are set. Hopefully the dumbness goes away as he continues to mature - he's been less backbreaking this year post-Maryland.

When he was hitting TTU and OSU players between the numbers late in the 4th quarter I would have agreed that he's dumb.  Not perfect but he's not made many "dumb" plays this year.

Yeah, I think I feel that way because he doesn't throw regular incompletions. They're always pure "wtf dude?" moments where the ball is 5 yards away from wide open guys. Statistically he looks pretty great this year.
