After reading the back and forth over the last few pages, for some reason, I remembered that there was a post on the old site that predicted Sam would never start for UT and probably was going to transfer out. Out of curiosity, I decided to wade through the shit and go find that post. Imagine my utter shock and surprise to find that that poster was none other than: derka derka.
You have been predicting him to fail since he was a junior in high school. Like, seriously, do you have some personal vendetta against him that makes it impossible for you to see any possibility of success? And every time he has some sort of success, you predict him to fail at the next level up and get pissy that no one agrees with you.
"He's never gonna start and is going to transfer" - Starts his freshman year. So you move on to "he's never gonna lead us to any championships"
"He's not an NFL caliber prospect" - gets drafted. "Well, he's never gonna start" - currently in a QB battle to potentially start week 1 behind injured starter. "Well, he's never gonna be a top 12 entrenched starting QB"
Sam Ehlinger could hypothetically win the fucking super bowl and you'd probably come out next with some shit like, "Well, he's not a hall of famer" or "Worst QB to ever win the super bowl and all of you are just too blind from Westlake/UT homerism to see it!"
There is no hypersensitivity to Sam criticism. There's plenty of legitimate criticisms to his game discussed on this thread. Lack of arm strength. Slow to make reads. Inaccurate deep ball. All legitimate, all calmly discussed. And, ironically enough, buried somewhere in your histrionic characterization of other posters' responses to you, those legitimate criticisms are there in your posts as well. But it's not the hypersensitivity to the criticisms that is being displayed on this thread. It's the hypersensitivity to your mind boggling lack of self awareness. That lack of self awareness is the whole reason the concept of a thread being Derka'd even exists in the first place.
Also, since you seem to be a fan of the "I never said that" defense and the "Show me one post where I said that!", there is not a single person on this thread that has predicted Sam would become "one of the 15 best QBs in the entire world" and certainly no one has taken offense to the opinion that he wouldn't as you seem to insinuate in your post above. If there has, please show me the post where someone took offense to that opinion. In fact, you seem to take offense when anyone suggests that Sam is talented enough to be "NFL caliber" or you know, one of the top 100 (give or take) QBs in the world. So really, who is the one spazzing out here?
