  1. It has been stated, but mostly as a platitude. No one wanted to write a dissertation on the value of QE committing to Texas and the impact on recruiting, the upgrade to the position and the success that helped put us on track for additional recruit upgraddes which followed from the additional contributions of a variety of players and coaches across the team and then go into detail about each statement. But some want to spin that as worship or just simply cannot understand the subtly of normal human communications. I can just imagine the poor retail cashier at HEB that greets someone with, "Hi, how are you?" regretting that when some posters really think they want to hear about their rash.
  2. For a guy who doesn't drink he certainly loves the drunks.
  3. BOLD = Anecdotes, possibly more Derkian objectional truth. Not a product of his selective feed/search. Italics = Everyone, we need to thank other players more and send your thanks and praise via CC or PM to Derka/BOW. He will let us all know when it was sufficient. Underlined = No receipts for the supposed cult like behavior of others towards QE, then posts the pussy-on-a-pedestal post above. Note how Derka leaves out Xavier Worthy who wanted to work with QE, and was trying to recruit Barron to Texas as well. And who recruited QE to Texas from Ohio State.
  4. So this is Derka's sock account. You try to strengthen your argument by using terms you clearly do not understand incorrectly, even after this was pointed out to you. A consensus of opinions is not objective data. Otherwise Sanders was the #1/ or #2 QB taken in the draft. Also telling someone to take Xanax is a shot at their mental health, and yet you complain about being teased for your struggles. It is really strange that you cannot handle disagreement and that you resort to fallacies and bombastic misrepresentations to try to self-sooth (including using a second account) or the use of repetition of words you must have recently learned. I called you out because you were being kind of an ass on here, and for days you have claimed to have the receipts but you have failed to produce any evidence to support your claims. You latched on to a draft order as an indicator of a different league of how important a player was to a college team and university, because you failed in every other measure to demonstrate otherwise. Speaking of which, In one brief study, looking at those players based solely on position who were drafted from 2000-2019, and defining success measured by second year contracts, Centers are at 92%, Tackles at 59% and Guards at 50%. All other positions are worse than a coin flip. So using this as a metric for evaluating the collegic impact and performance is anything but objective. It doesn't even bode well for the experts (save for the evaluation of centers). If you put in a little bit of effort, you would have discovered this for yourself. You would have also noticed how the consensus failed to predict Sanders draft, and how several podcast/youtube hosts went into CYA mode to point blame back at Sanders for being drafted below the podcasters expectations. This should have given you pause as to the value of these folks opinions, especially when trying to contrast it with real figures and performance.
  5. There go the goalposts!
  6. 1. Still waiting on those receipts you claim to have. 2. You seem to view people who have different opinions than you do as a collective instead of separating posters. I know you have used multiple account in the past, I never could understand why anyone would put in that much effort, but maybe you are projecting or confusing us? 3. You seem entirely unwilling or incapable of making a coherent argument or using terms correctly. Words have meaning and those meanings are flexible in a punctuated time frame. Objective and subjective are different things. I presented a few quantitative stats to demonstrate my belief, and a few more to support it. You pointed to who won popularity contests and awards. VY doesn't have a Heisman and Bush does. VY showed everyone that fucking day who was the dominant player on CFB and it wasn't the guys with popularity trophies. 4. You keep trying to compare Colt to Quinn for some reason as if Colt is the only standard for successful QB play. In your oddest reactive statement yet, you mention QE's offense losing its top RBs during the preseason/season were a blight on his overall performance, but that Colt's offense which ran RB by committee not losing theirs was somehow a negative against QE? Even funnier is how you ignored that the RB that was injured during the season was present for the UGA game and wasn't injured until Clemson. 5. Since you cherry picked games earlier, I now understand it that if the rushing is good, it is because they are great, but not due to any threat from the QB, but if the rushing is bad, it is because there is no threat from the QB. The heads I win, tails you lose logic. It is clear you cannot actually back up your statement with anything but distractions and outlandish statements or simply false claims of cultish worship with whom despite your declaration of having receipts of, you continue to fail to provide evidence for it.
  7. I am not really certain, I interpreted it as a snake-oil comment.
  8. Yes, I was frustrated by Worthy because it was plain to see the skill he had on the field and it looked like he didn't give it his full effort on several plays that we discussed in the past. It was entirely subjective as a discussion. Jones' challenges coming from a different background I was ignorant of early on, but seeing him take himself out of the play had me wondering why he was the best option we had. I think Chris Hall was not a great player but he played his ass off. Haines, Hager, Swoopes were all frustrating at times, but most of that belongs on the coaches who put them on the field. I was not aware of the underlined part, thanks for that, I would like to check it out sometime in the future (I screwed around too much as of now).
  9. Is this the gaslighting you claimed to be a victim of? Because you claimed that people worship QE, you claimed they were "zealots" akin to MAGA types and people who chug apple cider vinegar. Those are not exactly kind statements and comparisons. And when presented with objective material you just double down instead of refute the material or explain how my interpretation is incorrect. Which it can be.
  10. Proof of this worship? You claimed to have receipts.
  11. I noticed you didn't mention how that famed offensive line and running backs averaged 1.8 yards against Arizona State's powerhouse of a defense, and against UGA it was 1.1 yards per carry and 2.0 yards per carry vs Ohio State. And in this selective group, it looks like this, Opponent, Passing Attempts, Rushing, YPC Arky , 32, 41, 3.4 Ken , 31. 47. 5.3 Aggy, 28, 50, 4.8 UGA, 46, 28, 1.1 Overall split, 45% passing, 55% rushing. But the outlier is the UGA game where the rushing yard production were very low and Texas had to pass. Without that, it was 60% rushing to 40% passing. When you look at the offensive rushing output from Arky, Ken, Aggy, (3.4 ypc, 0.7 ypc, 3.0 ypc) It seems likely that the plan was to stifle the other team and run the ball. But I am sure you will just ignore this and move goal posts yet again.
  12. The good comes with the bad. Had he been better at avoiding those mistakes (and injuries and missed time) his numbers would be higher. Looking at the overall performance is objective. TWP is highly subjective. Sacks are also incomplete, they can be from the QB holding on too long or running into it or it could be a wiffed block, something else? Unless you know the reason, play, situation, and timing of each, this is difficult to completely blame on the QB, especially if the guy is limited by injury.
  13. Yes. Nice catch, I'll edit for clarity.
  14. I have lived this conversation.
