    Oh Christ are we doing this again? I was done bitching about Mack after 2014-2020 happened. He was far from perfect but we were a fixture in the top 10 for a decade and won the title in the best game ever played. He wasn’t inexplicably losing to Maryland and Cal and Iowa St and Kansas regularly.

    I mean, in fairness, he did turn out to be a hall-of-famer. Now, Rashaan Salaam on the other hand…

    Goddamnit.

    Original, authentic look you came up with there, Utah.

    This is the problem. It’s a bigger problem than his inaccuracy with deep balls. There are plays where he drops back and could easily pick up 3-5 yards but stands still in the pocket too long. He just lacks that sense of how to move, when to run, etc. It’s the difference between maintaining drives and not, and over time, being a good or great offense.

    It seems like QE just isn’t very instinctive as a QB. He lacks pocket feel, which is what allows QBs to extend plays, keep drives alive, etc, which is the difference between good and great offenses. In addition he just isn’t good at throwing deep balls. He never has been. Thus, the offense is going to be limited and it will be up to Sark to work around the limitations. It is not because QE lacks talent or toughness or is stupid or anything like that - he just doesn’t have that QB sixth sense that the great ones do. It is what it is. You can win with him but the offense is going to be limited.

    I, for one, am stunned to find Tom Herman at the center of such embarrassing, amateurish spats.

    What this post presupposes is…maybe we weren’t already broken?

    This is where the new economics of CFB will be interesting. Wouldn’t it make sense for, say, Michigan to pursue QE pretty aggressively? He’d be way more valuable to them than Texas, right?

    The ags must be unfamiliar with the adage “dress for the job you want, not the job you have.” They desperately want to be thought of as a top brand/program in CFB, yet here they are abandoning their brand so they can dress like a run-of-the-mill Sun Belt team.

    It’s 2024, real life is stupider than any fiction.

    Everything hitting at once. It’s gonna be Wild, better turn your camera on.

    I am a fan of Spoon. In a related story I am 47 and white.

    This sentiment is and always has been central to their collective fantasy which casts Texas as the fortunate rich kid whose successes have never been earned and casts themselves as the virtuous underdogs. The actual people involved don’t change this. So of course every Texas player and coach is a selfish, arrogant, shallow diva while all ags are genuine hard-working men of character. When you start with this conclusion (and then try to support it at all costs), you kinda have to tap into a level of cognitive dissonance that most can’t reach. Never mind that it is their program, not Texas’s, that has repeatedly been caught cheating, and that they are the ones constantly boasting about how wealthy their program is - they are the virtuous underdogs.

    This has all the feel of the ags hyping this as a “top 10 victory” even after Missouri finishes the season 8-4.

    Through 5 games, Bijan is averaging 13.7 carries and 3.8 targets per game. ATL bucked the (new) conventional wisdom that you don’t pick a RB in the top 10 because they presumably thought Bijan was that special (many agreed). And then they use him somewhat sparingly. I know it’s a different coaching staff and all, but it seems like a dumb approach.
  20. Hank Chinaski
    But injuries are always a possibility, so it isn’t “absolute,” right? Not to mention all the other things that could go wrong that need to be baked into projections. The (very unlikely) absolute floor is 0.
  21. Hank Chinaski
    It doesn’t make any sense whatsoever. The whole value proposition with Bijan is that he is a really good runner and receiver. They use a top 10 pick on him. And he splits time pretty much evenly with Tyler Allgier. They barely use him in the passing game. he is pretty clearly their best offensive player and gets about 15 touches per game. I mean, what the fuck are they doing?
  22. Hank Chinaski
    Good thing ATL had Allgier in there for that drive instead of Bijan.
  23. Hank Chinaski
    That’s fair. Along those lines, if he really had a play called “go fuck yourself bitch,” well I didn’t hate that.

    Whoever our AD was at the time (or whoever his real boss was) should have told him that he wasn’t at the University of fucking Houston anymore and to act like an adult.

    Goddamnit Herman was such a clown.
