  1. It's not about being statistically good it's when you are good. The 09 defense was great when it needed to be. 3 interception 9 sack game for Colt where he turned it over repeatedly backed up against the end zone and Muschamp didn't allow a 1st down. Struggling moving the ball on OU, Muschamp held them to 13 points. Colt also had 12 interception in 09 and regardless the D held up. This is the exact reason why PK got dropped in favor of Muschamp. When we played Georgia, they were also turning the ball over and struggling but their defense held serve and that's why we lost. Again, that held true this yeard AND last year. PK's D while good, wasn't that great when it had to be. Gave up the drive to Gabriel and OU. Let Penix throw for 430. Gave up drives late to Georgia twice last year, and gave up 30 this year.
  2. And you hit the nail on the head without realizing it. 08 Tech is how Quinn's career went in big games. Colt did what he needed to do to win against Tech but shit happened out of his control that lost that game. Gideon drops the interception. We let Crabtree score. 2023 We lose 2 games. OU Quinn drives us down for the go ahead score and we should've walked away with a win with only a minute left right? Had that been 09 Texas, Muschamp's defense holds and we all say man that was a clutch drive by Quinn. Washington, everyone here knows how an end zone fade is supposed to be thrown. High and away. Especially when there is a size difference. Game on the line and the receiver didn't even leave is feet or put his body between the ball, and you are seeing those same "lack of effort" claims in the pros, so miss me with the NFL receiver shit. If that's Collin Johnson or Humphrey does anyone think that ball isn't caught? The Ohio State game we all blame Quinn for that lost right? It's 14-21 and Quinn drives us all the way down to the 1 fucking yard line. We bring in an inexperienced back and he runs right into the pile instead of taking on the LB 1v1 in the hole. So we rightly bring Wisner back in and then try to toss sweep against Ohio fucking State and lose yardage all the way back to the 9 yard line. We have Cole Hutson at right guard and he gets beat immediately when Sawyer shoots the A gap and Quinn has to throw it away. Then on 4th and goal where we absolutely have to buy enough time to throw it into the end zone we let Jack Sawlyer, Ohio State's best DE, come of the edge completely untouched. I'm not sure what you expected Ewers to do there or what you thought Colt would've done differently. No one is saying Colt wasn't better than Ewers. What I am saying is y'alls rules are different for who's fault it is based on your "feelings" for said player. You even forget how the games went. Quinn fought back in all those games but defense couldn't get the ball back or we didn't take advantage of opportunities that we did have. And that's the thing. No one is saying Colt wasn't great. What I AM saying is Colt needed help just like every other QB. If that is not true 2007 Colt doesn't happen. When Colt was struggling in 09 Muschamp was there to pick him up. We weren't getting 10 penalties a game or giving up game winning drive's to other teams in crunchtime. Colt's lines weren't great but they weren't completely whiffing on blocks in game deciding moments either. Muschamp's defenses bowed up at the end of games and allowed those games to stay close for us to win.
  3. And that would be untrue. Just off the top of my head, Redshirt sophomore year. 21-28 OU with 9.5 left in the 4th. Colt had two possessions to tie the game up and couldn't get it done. 9-17 Nebraska. 12:56 in the 4th quarter and Colt is struggling 11-27 169 and an INT. From that point on we would throw one more pass. Luckily we had Charles, who would rush for 216 yards in the quarter and single handily win the game for us. Colt had zero TDs passing or running and was 43% passing. 21-41 Kansas St. The blowout wasn't a failure on defense as KSU only had 272 total yards and 2 TDs on Offense. No, Colt threw 4 interceptions in that game including a pick 6. Special teams was a shitshow too. 2009 Nebraska. NU had 4 field goals, 3 of which were directly due to Colt's 3 interceptions. 2 of which they didn't even get a 1st down. Nebraska then kicks the ball out of bounds on the kickoff and then a horse collar call on the short crossing route. Those two things put us in field goal range. Then Colt almost lost the game with the throw out of bounds. I mean, I could go on but my point is he had a lot of help. Some games he played down right awful but we still won whether it was special teams, Charles, or defense. But it's funny when we look back at 2023 OU, Quinn drove us down and we scored what should've been the game winner with only a minute left and PK's D let OU drive the field and score. Then we let Penix throw for 430 yards in the Semis. We don't look at those games as "the defense failed us", no we look at those games as "Quinn couldn't get it done". In my personal opinion when we were in a dogfight during Colt's last two years Muschamp's D would usually bow up and give us a chance. Meanwhile PK's D let Gabriel march the field in a minute. Let Penix throw for 430. Let Georgia score 30. Let a freshman QB for Georgia score 19 in the second half while only throwing for 70 yards. Let Ohio State get a 80 screen pass with like 30 seconds to go before half. If they woulda stood tall Like Muschamp's D, we woulda won some of those games. They even gave Squints a legit chance to beat Bama.
  4. Brothers. Are we seriously trying to argue about the SEC's DL, OL, and LB play? This is getting silly. Miss St has perennially been one of the shittiest programs in the SEC, but if we played them in 09 Fletcher Cox would be on their D-line. All American, 15th pick overall, and 6 time probowler Fletcher fucking Cox. You know, another Marcel Darius. They also had Jamar Chaney LB, Chris White LB, Pernell McFee DL, and KJ Wright LB, on that defense too. All drafted. And they were 5-7, and 3-5 in conference. I'm not exactly sure why there is an argument. The SEC is across all the slave states and therefore has NFL talent at its doorstep. Back in the 80's a lot of that talent was going to HBCU's but once that stopped they became the main supplier of big, fast black dudes. The big12 had a few teams that could compete like us, OU, Nebraska, and aggy, but by and large, as a conference, we just didn't have the trench play. We def had the skill players though. My point is even the terrible SEC teams(cept Vandy) had dudes in the trenches and Colt wasn't leading the team in rushing as a QB at his size without getting hurt.
  5. Bijan tonite
  6. Yeah, to hold a team to 100 yards of total offense while your own team"s offense isn't contributing to that by being able to even remotely hold the ball for any significant time is one of the more amazing defensive feats I've ever seen. They had 5 fucking first downs. 5!!!
  7. This was my original statement "Colt is better than Ewers but come on. Colt did that(lead the team in rushing) against a Big12 schedule my guy. Colt isn't leading the team in rushing vs an SEC schedule and coming out healthy. I'm not saying the SEC is all that, but they ARE more physical in the trenches." To which Jkwellborn said this- "Man, when Colt was doing that, the Big 12 was the premier conference in the country. Just because the SEC was still playing football from 1950 doesn’t mean he wouldn’t have done similar." To which I said- "Yes. The SEC was not progressive offensively in 2009 but the trench play was still miles above the Big12. We learned that in the 1st quarter of the National Championship game. The SEC had 144 players drafted from 2010-2012. The Big12 had 85 over the same time frame, with most of those being skill players. Look into it." We were talking about whether or not Colt could lead the team in rushing against an SEC schedule. We weren't talking about a single game. So I am not sure why you chose to comment the way you did.
  8. That's not what I meant. I am asking what games where Colt threw a TD to win it or drove us down to win the game and close a team out gave you that confidence. I can remember one. 08 Ohio State. I cannot remember another.
  9. You mean you didn't even go back and see what we were talking about? You just guessed? Come on bro.
  10. What are you even talking about Ztejas? That made zero sense.
  11. Yes. The SEC was not progressive offensively in 2009 but the trench play was still miles above the Big12. We learned that in the 1st quarter of the National Championship game. The SEC had 144 players drafted from 2010-2012. The Big12 had 85 over the same time frame, with most of those being skill players. Look into it.
  12. My point was the issues are systemic. I agree that they were to a much bigger degree this year, but any degree should be addressed and is hurting the team.
  13. Colt is better than Ewers but come on. Colt did that against a Big12 schedule my guy. Colt isn't leading the team in rushing vs an SEC schedule and coming out healthy. I'm not saying the SEC is all that, but they ARE more physical in the trenches. 2024 Ewers lost to Georgia and Ohio State, both more talented teams than Texas. Where are these lesser teams that Ewers lost to? Where are these superior teams Colt was beating? 2008 Ohio State was the only one. There isn't this chasm between the two like you are making it out to be. You make it like Colt did it by himself. Guys made plays around him. 08 OU, we picked off two passes, and had a return for a TD. Og had 15 carries for 130. Cody Johnson had 3 rushing TDs. In 09 Muschamp's D held OU to 13 points, picking him off twice. In the Big12 Championship game Colt threw 3 picks and got sacked 9 times. Muschamp's D turned NU over 3 times and held them to 12 points. We only had to score 13. We were held to 202 total yards but Muschamp's defense held them to 106 total yards. Let me repeat that for you. 106 total yards bro. Colt had a lot of timely help.
  14. The same issues we had last year we had this year. Playcalling, O-line whiffs, drops, inability to run the football, and timely penalties. Two RZ trips in the GA game were stalled by a Bond offensive PI and a hold on an outside run. We missed two field goals too. We had a dropped TD and 4 other drops. The QB threw for 358. As a matter of fact the QB outplayed the other team's QB in every game we lost in 2024. Had we done something about the mental mistakes and not try to call fake double screens in the red zone maybe we win that game. Even the offense we ran was a bad fit for Ewers. He is a spread concept guy. Holding the ball forever isn't his game so get it out of his hands quickly.
  15. What's funnier is when you realize lil buddy is in his 40's.
  16. You guys really watched this season and still don't see how Sark let Ewers down? Double throw back screens in the red zone? 12 personnel with Juan Davis as your second TE, basically conceding the possibility of another receiver? Back to the field, slow developing play action? Not addressing the run game which would fail you in big games over and over? Busted protections and penalties from the same player on the right side of the line but never addressing it? Question? Will a route develop quicker from a spread look or from a compact set? If you come to the correct answer why were we running so much of it? 12 personnel is to run the football. Period. If you cannot run the football why the fuck are you lining up in it? In 2023 it made sense because you had two receiving TEs and you could still spread the field from it, but when you only have 1? The fuck are we doing? Yet we ran more 12 in 2024 than 2023. Go look at the opening script for the SEC Championship. Wide open and slinging it. After 1.5 quarters Ewers has I wanna say 160-70 yards. We drop a TD pass and get a couple RZ penalties or else its 14-nil. Then what does Sark do? Goes back to his clunky offense and grinds away until the 4th quarter when he has to score again. Are we really are still here, with the advantages of hindsight, still expecting Ewers to win those Georgia and Ohio State games without a running game?
  17. When you see he played football at Yale it all makes sense.
  18. Gross. Who wants that dusty ass pussy? Dude is 32 and a multi millionaire. If he can't pull better pussy than that shame on him.
  19. Fucking Steelers whole gameplan of chipping Garrett all game and only throwing short to keep Garrett from getting home, lost them the game this week.
  20. I mean dude split the doubleteam and was in the backfield immediately. How does that happen?
  21. Yeah, that's pretty much bs. Dude just signed up but just happens to know about Derka's opinions from years ago. I've argued with @Derka more than most, but I respect him, which is why we only argue on the topic of QBs. I don't think I've ever even negged the dude. Some dudes follow Derka around wherever he posts antagonizing him. Including creating new handles to do so. Weirdos.
  22. Pittsburgh is gonna lose because they don't want Garrett to get the sack record. Lol
