  1. Yeah but Fisher was the worst of the NFL norms of the time. Dude made every QB look pedestrian, even his good ones. He also never wanted to spend money on offensive players. I cannot remember a single receiver that VY played with there. I think they were all JAGs.
  2. That throw is why "throwing the ball on a rope" isn't always encouraged. Some air under the ball and it's a catch.
  3. See this is the mentality I am talking about. Quinn cost us the Washington game? Yeah they should've connected on that last pass but our defense let a QB throw for 430 yards without nary a sack but the QB cost us the game? How did that same QB look against a competent defense the next game? 255yrds 1TD 2INTs and 13 points. Same situation in the 2nd Georgia game. Dude threw for 358. If the people around him just did their jobs at a satisfactory level the game wouldn't even be close. Commit half the penalties. Don't drop TD passes. Don't let a team who can barely throw maul you all second half in the run game. Kick a fucking field goal. In order for a QB to perform miracles the receivers have to equally be up to the task too. The O-line too. We couldn't get a finger on Klubnik for seemingly the entire second half. Dude just stood back there patting the football for what seemed like for a week. Had we lost that game we would be here talking about Quinn instead of how the defense folded. Catch the fucking ball with your hands Moore and Bond. Quit trying to basket-catch everything. While y'all are at it block. The next 50/50 ball Wingo wins will be the first one he has won in his college career. If I told you a team played Georgia and had 11 penalties, a dropped TD pass, and two missed field goals you would tell me that team lost.
  4. You mean how Quinn threw for over 300 yards and came up just short vs Georgia? Did you see Clemson receivers dropping passes? Did you see Clemson players getting called for 11 penalties? That's exactly what I mean when I say regurgitating the same talking points. Cade put the ball in the air. Some good. Some meh. Some great. The guy on the other end has to make a play. If you watched in the Georgia game no way you come away with Quinn being the issue. Also, the whole replace Quinn with Cade thing is dumb because Cade scored 3 points vs Georgia.
  5. The talking heads don't watch games. They just regurgitate the same talking point without watching the full games. If they watched the last Georgia game no way they think "Quinn is holding this offense back" when the offense ran for 31 yards and had a ton of penalties.
  6. Klubnik outplayed him how? He did what he was asked to do and played a clean game. Klubnik was asked to throw it more times. That is it.
  7. I've seen the tackle called for holding for running the rusher to the ground and both falling.
  8. All of us have watched enough football to have seen that called had Guilbeau just turned the corner a little more.
  9. Thanks for hopping in and commenting. We need more threads like this if you ask me. We have a lot of people here who see football from different perspectives depending on where their experience lies and it makes for good discussion.
  10. Watch Burke's hands and watch Simmons' hands. I would be embarrassed if a true freshman had better hands than me. With any decent hand work at all Burke would be in Klubnik's face. A little bit of effort would affect this throw and they likely don't complete it. Burke should be better than this by now. You are right about Simmons getting manhandled as well.
  11. And that's why in my post I questioned whether they were supposed to switch the routes if they crossed. That would be ideal and how high level defensive schemes deal with these man beaters by pattern matching. Either way Guilbeau is a liability. Bad technique is one thing. A general lack of effort is another. He is also awful at blitzing yet we keep firing him. Ugh.
  12. If you really wanna get pissed off about pass defense watch us vs Washington from the all 22. Penix could sit down and eat lunch back there. Rushers falling face first on the ground and getting back up and he still hadn't thrown the ball yet. Ugh.
  13. Guilbeau has bad eye discipline and situational awareness. Manny hasn't really been tested because most teams don't have time to stand back and let routes develop down the field in long yardage situations. With them catching us with run stoppers on the field and not letting us sub you have to be more cautious as a DB and not jump on all the short stuff like you usually can because you know the ball has to come out. That's really all Manny was guilty of. These guys develop a clock in their heads and know when the ball should be out. Georgia is the same way. Their DBs are jumping short routes in long yardage situations because they know the QB cannot hold the ball.
  14. We aren't Alabama. There aren't 5 stars everywhere. The only 5 stars are the QB, a receiver that has been largely a disappointment to this point, and a couple linemen. Bama was better than you at every single position on both sides of the ball.
  15. Who is insulting Arch. I am calling it how it is. Listen to you all. Dude is in the quarters of the CFP and y'all are ready to jettison this dude into the sun no matter the outcome of this season because you think the guy behind him is better than he is with no proof of that other than two games vs the two worst opponents on our schedule. Colt threw 18 interceptions in 2007 and hadn't done anything great up until then. Ewers threw 6 picks last year, won the big 12, got us into the CFP, and almost the championship game despite us letting the opposing QB throw for 430 yards on us. It's one thing to not be good. Players know when they can't play and accept their lot in life for the most part. But to already be the 3rd in almost every category. To have taken your school to two straight conference championship games, and two straight CFPs? That's a shit sandwich for someone who has helped get us back on the mountain top. In my lifetime the most hated QBs on the 40 were Simms, Ewers, and Gilbert in that order. One of these things is not like the other. Ewers is 2-1 vs OU. He threw for 452 and and 358 in his two conference championship appearances. Even last year in the CFP game. He didn't hit the last throw but dude threw for 318 and no picks. Win at a high rate. Beat OU. Get us to conference championships. Ewers has done all three and we still dislike him.
  16. He may be he may not. Kevin Jennings was a gamer until Saturday. You don't know a kid is a gamer until they face live bullets. The only sure thing was Vincent Paul Young Jr. There was no doubt he was going to wreck shop when he got to college. An absolute freak of nature.
  17. Tennessee plays primarily man and just fucked around and found out is all that was. Their weakness is their QB's ability to read complex defenses and throw into tight windows. Tenn decided "let's clear up his picture for him and try to man cover all 5 star receivers". I drool over the tOSU receiving corp. That's the one thing with us. We have never had top notch receivers. The closest we came was the trio, but even then they weren't as good as WE thought they were. I think that's why our fans think what we currently have is good until you turn on the TV and see what Oregon and tOSU have. Now running backs is a different story.
  18. It kinda depends on the situation. If the DE is trying to do a spin move and the lineman blocks him with his back to him they won't call it. But if the lineman gets beat and the rusher is about to sack the QB and he pushes him in the back they sometimes call that. It's a real grey area call.
  19. Yeah, Hill is usually aggressive and trusts his eyes. He was very unsure in this game. I think he was just trying to hard to make a play. Sometimes you have to trust your teammates. It happens. Hit the film room and get back at it.
  20. I like us better against Ohio State. The Ducks offense scares me because PK doesn't have a good gameplan vs Gabriel types. He seems to get extremely passive as we saw vs Georgia and Clemson and overthinking it. A spy is all you need. Let your nuts hang on passing downs. Howard runs but he is not fast or shifty so I think PK stays aggressive for that one. If we get Ohio State then we likely win our side of the bracket and I like our chances vs the other side. If we get Oregon unless we can win in a shootout we go home.
  21. Hill doesn't usually struggle but Klubnik is a legit run threat and I think it was in his head.
  22. I love big behind the keyboard talkers. Guys like you already ran off one quarterback that hasn't played here in 20 years but still refuse to come back to campus. You think this level of criticism for a QB who is already number 3 in our lifetimes is normal? It's not. Not for a QB who is in back to back CFPs. You only think this is normal because its the same shit you did to Simms. The kid is out there handling it solidly. I am just telling you he can't wait to put Texas behind him and that's a shame. A person doesn't need to be someone's agent to call out shitty fans. And you sir are a shitty fan. I will make sure to tell you that face to face at the next tailgate.
