  1. Derka, dude. Derka was comparing Ewers to Colt. Would I rather have RS-JR Colt over RS-JR Ewers in 2024? Yes. Would I rather have RS-SO Colt over RS-SO Ewers in 2023? No. And the comparison was RS-SR Colt to RS-SO Ewers.
  2. Yeah? Cool. I didn't do that. In fact, I said my 1-2-3 tier was VY-Street-Colt. But keep cherry-picking facts to support your false narrative while ignoring Ewers got planted into the turf against Alabama the year before and missed games, and also missed two games in 2023 due to injuries. The way you guys hate on Ewers is fucking insane.
  3. I said it was. I literally fucking said that. I said "It's reasonable to compare year 3 to year 3. It's reasonable to compare year 2 to year 2." And, yes, it was said that 2008 and 2009 Colt would have won the NC with the team Ewers had in 2023. Are you fucking blind? And age isn't a useless sidebar. The number of FR and SO you'd rather play over a RS-SR is incredibly low, especially at key decision-making positions.
  4. Nope. Not even close to what I said. The point is appropriate: Colt was a great player who also played with good and great players. It was merely a counterpoint to the implication that Ewers played with a bunch of somebodies while Colt played with a bunch of nobodies. You can note that only the players Ewers played with, many of whom are not in the NFL (but may very well be), were mentioned while none of who Colt played with were mentioned. Source for Smith or Hix or Huey? Google for the teams and times. As for the others, they were taken from Texas 2-deep depth charts with supplemental information from Wikipedia, NFL.com, Texas press releases, and other sources. I had to ask my brother about a few. If they had meaningful stats, they got mentioned. If they didn't even if they were on the 2-deep, I didn't mention them. But you raise a fair point. A more appropriate comparison might be Colt's RS-FR year to RS-SO year in comparison to Quinn's RS-SO year to RS-JR year given the personnel losses. It's still worth pointing out that RS-SO Colt had those stats with Jamaal, Jermichael, and others on the team. It wasn't like the cupboard was bare. And, sure, Gunnar was on the team in 2023 but JT was starting and Gunnar didn't exactly take up the majority of the snaps, unlike Shipley who was a huge contributor from pretty much day one. Not exactly an apples-to-apples comparison between Helm and Shipley over multiple years. RS-SO year for both, not "best" and "worst." Apples-to-apples. If you want to compare their two best years, cool. It's closer to apples-to-apples than the asinine argument that someone would rather have a 23-year-old RS-SR over a 19-year RS-SO and that's somehow proof that the former rocks and the latter sucks.
  5. Cool, man. Great. Your opinion, RMN at a point in time, and fuck the the stats and performance...all good, clear-headed, cogent support. I love Colt. My family sat with him and his family at the football banquet his RS year. My brother still talks to him every once in a while. He's definitely in that upper tier and probably 1-2-3 in my opinion are VY, Street, and Colt. Do I put Ewers top 5? I don't know. Top 10? Probably for sure. Did he do really well? Absolutely. Could he have done better? Absolutely. I agree. But what I don't do is shit on the kid like you guys who never wore the Burnt Orange do. It's fucking bizarre as fuck to me how Texas "fans" shit on Texas players who bled for the program, especially the QBs. Is Colt over on the sideline saying Ewers sucks and he can't wait for Manning to take over and if Colt had been the QB two years ago Texas would've beaten Washington and Michigan? No, he's fucking not. It's us fat fucks who sit on our couches wearing their jerseys we bought from Dick's Sporting Goods or the Co-op or eBay or whatever in size XXXXL. But, man, your opinion no matter how passionate does not change the fact that RS-SO Colt threw 18 fucking INTs and did not have a statistically better year than RS-SO Ewers when he was two years older and in a long-established program with stability amongst the coaches and multiple top-5 finishes over the previous several years. At the exact same stages in their careers with NFL talent all around them, Ewers had a better season statistically, was on a conference championship team, broke almost every CCG passing record, and was a bad playcall or poorly-thrown pass away from an appearance in the NCG playing against a RS/Covid-SR who was like 27 years old and had been the starter for like 8 years. And no shit you'd rather have a 23-year-old RS-SR over a 20-year-old RS-SO? Where do I send my $9.95?
  6. Vegas had Ewers as the Heisman frontrunner before his abominal injury, so I guess no actual difference then? To hear all of you tell it, Ewers was the worst fucking QB to ever wear the Burnt Orange. I think he did exceedingly well for the position he was put in and we disagree. Cool. Disagree, but don't act like your opinion is a fact. There's empirical evidence that says otherwise.
  7. I'm "acting." You mean in the context of Derka arguing that he would take two-year-older RS-SR Colt McCoy over two-year-younger RS-SO Quinn Ewers? Why are you so obtuse? Is it intentional? Fuck, you must live a miserable fucking life. Two years greater physical, emotional, and mental maturity makes a huge difference at that age, as does being able to play ball with your primary receiver for 3-4 years rather than having complete turnover in your WR corps and RB corps. What I'm offering, including empirical evidence, is that Quinn doesn't suck as much as you dimwitted fucktards are saying and Colt wasn't the God you make him out to be. Why don't you fuck right off into the Sun, you miserable little shitstain?
  8. Okay. So take a RS-JR and RS-SR QB who was 22- and 23-years old in those seasons and put him on a loaded team under Sark and he'll do better than a 20-year-old RS-SO and 21-year-old RS-JR. Got it. 2007 RS-SO Colt was 276 of 424 (65.1%) for 3,303 yards, 22 TD and 18 INT on a team that had Jamaal Charles, Jermichael Finley, Jordan Shipley, Quan Cosby, and Limas Sweed...but sure. I mean, for comparison, 2023 RS-SO Ewers was 272 of 394 (69%) for 3,479 yards, 22 TD and 6 INT in 12 games (to Colt's 13). I'm not saying it's apples to apples, I'm just saying.
  9. You've named a whole bunch of kids who have a lot of potential and have contributed meaningfully, but don't have huge resumes. In all fairness, I expect some of them will when their time on the 40 is done. Some of Colt McCoy's teammates at Texas: RB: Selvin Young (Broncos starter), Jamaal Charles (all-pro), Fozzy Whitaker (7-year NFL career), Chris Ogbonnaya (7th round 2009) WR: Limas Sweed (2nd round 2008), Jordan Shipley (3rd round 2010), Quan Cosby (2009 all-rookie team), Marquise Goodwin (3rd round 2013) TE: Jermichael Finley (3rd round 2008), Greg Smith (Carolina Panthers) OL: Justin Blalock (2nd round 2007), Kasey Studdard (6th round 2007), Lyle Sendlein (Cardinals starter), Tony Hills (4th round 2008), Adam Ulatoski (2009 All-American), Michael Huey (6-year NFL career), Kyle Hix (2 years with Patriots) DL: Tim Crowder (2nd round 2007), Brian Robison (4th round 2007), Frank Okam (5th round 2008), Henry Melton (4th round 2009), Brian Orakpo (1st round 2009), Roy Miller (3rd round 2009), Lamarr Houston (2nd round 2010), Sam Acho (4th round 2011), Kheeston Randall (7th round 2012), Alex Okafor (4th round 2013) LB: Sergio Kindle (2nd round 2010), Rod Muckelroy (4th round 2010), Keenan Robinson (4th round 2012), Emmanuel Acho (6th round 2012) CB: Michael Griffin (1st round 2007), Aaron Ross (1st round 2007), Tarell Brown (5th round 2007), Aaron Williams (2nd round 2011), Curtis Brown (3rd round 2011), Chykie Brown (5th round 2011) S: Earl Thomas (1st round 2010) P/K: Justin Tucker (NFL GOAT?) I mean, just for reference. It's not like Colt was surrounded by a bunch of bozos. Also, in my 20+ year career as a civil trial lawyer and briefly as a judge and mediator, it's been my experience whenever someone uses words like "inarguably" they actually mean "arguably but don't argue with me." Not saying, just saying.
  10. Do you also say "tuddy" and "aggsy?"
  11. Major tried, sometimes successfully, to bang his teammates' girlfriends. I mean, sure, if there's no ring on it in a general context, then who gives a fuck. If it's one of your teammates...that's different in my opinion.
  12. The administrator of the estate (the brother) of one of those "good ags" is a Texas Ex...who's a well-respected trial lawyer in Austin. They didn't keep the money aggy paid. They used every penny to establish a scholarship fund.
  13. "It's a Rickenbacker, you fuckin' moron." -probably Steve Earle
  14. They went through the hell of having to suffer through Kirk and Ryan Day again. But we all went through that hell.
  15. That's been the argument since the BCS era and it's never come to fruition. The TV $$$ are too great, and so is the allure of being able to trumpet a huge win over a big-name opponent for the rest of the season. Aside from that, the Appalachian States and NIUs will handle a big name opponent every few years, and no one talks about an early-season loss at Texas or Bama the same way they talk about a close win or getting bent against some nobody.
  16. Will Howard runs like a fat kid thinks athletic kids run.
  17. I hope Arch proves this motherfucker wrong and Texas just runs the fucking table next season, averaging 103-0 because the kicker's leg was so tired he only went 13/15 on PATs each game while also setting a record for most PATs in a season, with Arch winning the first of two Heismans and two national championships before becoming the #1 pick in the 2028 draft. But this prediction is okay, I guess.
  18. Is this the thread where we brag about our 40 times? Look...I'm not saying I could throw it over the mountains. I'm just saying the mountains were scared. That's all.
  19. Burke wasn't the starter, but he got enough playing time that he could have been.
  20. Why would he? His offer list wasn't exactly eye-popping and he gets to learn from Sarkisian. If Manning is gone in two, Owens has potentially four years in the system and maybe two years of eligibility left when Dia Bell arrives on campus (assuming he doesn't change his mind). If Dia is Him, Trey can hit the portal then while having enjoyed everything Texas has to offer in the interim two years.
  21. Hello. You have converted me to the Owens Should Starts Camp. My time as a Stanning is over.
