  1. Sort of. 2 picks vs Vandy. Sark blames it on tipped balls but those were batted balls in his face when there was little to no throwing lane and he needed to throw it in the dirt or adjust his arm angle. Kentucky with the fumble, although he shouldn't have been in there so that's on Sark. He's very inconsistent in hitting plays to sustain drives and because his deep ball is poor, he doesn't have the upside for long TD passes. Instead it's more dinking and dunking which necessitates very consistent playmaking. He throws a nice intermediate ball but for some reason we haven't schemed a ton of those except for the occasional crossing pattern to the TE. We had a few really nice digs or curls the last month including one to Golden today. Wish we could see more of those because it feels like that's why he's good at. Again, he's not a scrub at all, he's a good, solid QB, but we're talking about probably needing elite playmaking to get deep in the playoffs and doing it for 4 quarters generally. He hasn't played a complete game except for maybe Florida or some of the warm up games like UTSA or UL-M. A lot of very good first halves and very inconsistent or poor 2nd halves. We're all grateful to be 11-1 and going to the SEC Championship but it feels like the defense is championship level. The running game since Georgia is championship level. Our ST's...... eh, not really in the kicking game -- Bert is average and our punting sucks. Is the QB play? I don't know. Feels like we'll need a bit more consistency to get us where we want to be. I think he has it in him, but we need him to find it. Like tonight should have been 27 or 30-0.
  2. I don't doubt his heart or his guile. Dude plays hard and he's not a scrub, let's not hate on him. But, Texas is at the elite level of CFB and to win a playoff style tourney, you need your QB to play nails. He simply hasn't shown he can play 4 quarters in a game against an upper echelon opponent in forever. Even tonight..... the first half he was mostly good but it could have been very. tragic. He should have been picked in the RZ in the first quarter AND on the play to TE that went right through the safeties hands. Better teams take advantage of those and pick those..... now let's see what that final score would have been? He simply makes too many mistakes. Many good plays (although his deep ball is still ridiculously bad), but too many bad ones.
  3. Texas has a Quinn Ewers problem. It's that simple. It sucks to have to write that, but he continues to make huge mistakes which turn points and momentum to the opponent. We know what the solution is..... but Sark will enable him and this team won't reach its potential.
  4. Hope for next year???? He had a great rush where he got a .5 sack that I saw. Rico's been balling for over a month. Do we still need help at the position? Yes. Do we still need to move on from Zeke? Absolutely. Do we need to draft a RB in round 1? I don't think so. With a couple of wins over some really shitty teams, could we find ourselves drafting in the teens? Yes and if Jeanty is the best talent on the board, then trade down and hope he's there in the 20's, but I think we should got a different way and get a guy in 3-5 rounds. I like what Luepke could give us and then sign a vet. Oh? I'll say, Micah was challenged by Zimmer to be a better leader and he's stepped up the last couple of weeks..... He was a monster tonight. I get it, it's against maybe the shittiest team in the league, but a win on Thanksgiving just feels right. Let's get another one on Saturday.
  5. Yea.... it's obvious it was too much for him in year 1 to be relied on so greatly. Moved position, he's young, and he has technique issues. He has talent, so they'll need to really develop him with the new coaching staff. My issue, is he makes a lot of pre-snap penalties... now so did Tyron, but he was elite everywhere else. I won't complain about beating Washington at anytime. The Commanders are better but still frauds. Cowboys under Jerrah can't even tank correctly.
  6. LOL. No thanks..... unless his masseuse is coming. The Cowboys are finally playing hard.... not well, but hard. JFC, Rush. That's easy pitch and catch and you throw a worm burner....
  7. The defense is playing pretty well thus far (I'm sure I just cursed them), but they're doing a good job. The offense's and ST's inability to get points will be why the team loses, but at least Parsons and company are flying around thus far. Commanders not really playing all that well.
  8. It's frustrating to watch but the goal is not to win this year..... You want to see the young players progress but you shouldn't want the Cowboys to win. Maybe they can get in position to to draft Hunter. That's different. I feel your pain.
  9. Liufau is weak at attack..... Kendricks can't run anymore. Zimmer loves them both. Retire Zimmer's ass.
  10. Tyler Smith would play if anything mattered anymore. Let's see Trey Lance. We know what Cooper is..... a decent backup, but nothing more.
  11. Yep.... and he's also the best pure talent we have but his ball security issues..... it just makes me sad. He could be so good if he someone (RB coach) could teach him to hold the ball correctly. He doesn't. Why isn't this coached?
  12. Ewers just had his senior day events and you're saying he's coming back.....LOL. If anything, he'd transfer. Arch will be the QB next year.
