  1. Eli Manning is as average a QB to have ever played the pro game and is a hall of fame finalist because he got crazy hot on 2 Super Bowl runs. I hate to simp for BOW but there's definitely something to that point.
  2. I do agree that quarterbacking is more than passing stats and you shouldn't get tunnel vision there. It's about command of the offense and leadership of the team too. They're judged on team success in a way other positions just aren't - ask Dan Marino or Eli Manning. I do think Vince and Colt stand alone. You could talk me into Layne at that tier; obviously it's different having never seen him play and the fact that it's barely the same sport anymore. Those guys were the total package of individual greatness and leadership driving team success in a way a Street, Ewers, Ehlinger, Brown, etc. were/are not. Honorable mention to Gardere simply because 4-0 against OU is legendary and unlikely to be matched with where the sport is going.
  3. I don't think Skip Bayless has fans to lose?
  4. Sacks in both games against Texas so good riddance.
  5. It might be. Bond is the only one who looks like he kinda sorta might think he'll get the ball, but an RPO is typically one read. Moore and Golden are just decoys either way. Bond could just be selling. The OL is zone blocking, I wouldn't necessarily say they aren't firing off but they could be trying to make sure they don't go downfield immediately. But that's also just kind of what zone blocking looks like from that angle.
  6. I often see the question "Have you tried being less poor?" posed on this site. So I'm going to try that.
  7. This is my read. Probably has some kind of connection with the Texas staff either from the Baylor/Tx State staffs or his dad and wants to get into coaching. Basically a GA that can double as a practice body.
  8. This. "Hey coach, Quinn's 2-for-100 on deep posts for his career, maybe think twice about that one" with < 6 mins left and leading, for example That and, I mean, it was game 15.
  9. In order to win, this team is going to have to show up in the... *checks notes* 16th game of the year, and do things it has thus far not been capable of. I'm not going to hold my breath on that one and will instead just be pleasantly surprised if we elevate our game.
  10. Sark's very obviously a much better program builder/manager than he is gameday coach. That is what it is. Some of these posts are insane though. I thought it was a bad hire - let me tell you, it's much easier and more satisfying to simply admit you were wrong than to bump this thread with texags grade takes every time Texas has a bad game. Last year Texas was a legit top 3 team and they're somewhere between the third to sixth best team in the country this year. Just signed the consensus number one recruiting class after 3-4 straight top 5 classes. He's got us right there. Texas is a top 5 program right now. Not theoretically, not one of the top 5 best jobs. Top five program today. I don't know how some of y'all can forget 2010-22 so soon but this program looks so much better on the field even when not playing its best. The "we need a real OC" bits are especially stupid. Being an elite OC is what got Sark where he is. It's perhaps his only real value add on game day. You don't kneecap that strength. Then you just have a middling game manager and a lesser OC.
  11. Brock Purdy is actually not a bad NFL comp for Ewers, IMO. Where he lands is going to make or break his career. Imagine how ugly it would have been if Purdy went to the Jets or something.
  12. My father spent some time in Saudi Arabia and Pakistan for work and shared similar sentiments. It's where we're going.
  13. This but on the flip side, they aren't even in office yet. Biden and Senate Democrats are still out here appointing Article 3 judges. They've already nearly shut down the government and gotten into... Whatever this is, before even taking office. Add it to the long list of recent exhibits showing Republicans' lack of ability to govern. It's going to be such a shit show once they actually take power that this will be a distant memory.
  14. smh this is the definition of football terrorism
  15. There are all of two players on the Mt Rushmore of Texas QBs. There are no others that compare to them in terms of individual greatness.
  16. I don't know how y'all have the energy to keep going on this. Ewers was pretty good yesterday, as he has been many times before. He is what he is at this point - generally a pretty good college QB who struggles with the deep ball and exhibits inconsistent pocket awareness. He's got a couple of games left at Texas and a change is not at all on the table. His legacy is going to be the QB that presided over Texas reclaiming the B12 title on the way out the door, going 2-1 against OU and kicking aggy's teeth in at the biggest game in Kyle Field's history, getting to the SEC title game in the first year in the conference, and making back to back CFP semifinals. Even if he's had a disappointing year, if you wouldn't have taken that in the spring of 2022 then you would have been an idiot. Arch will get the keys in a matter of weeks. I think there's a lot t look forward to with an offense structured around a different skillset at QB, but for now just enjoy the ride and hope Ewers plays a ceiling game when it's needed.
  17. I'm sure the Hateful 8 are positively giddy to watch the past two B12 champs, a departure and a newcomer who was 3-9 last year, square off in a playoff game.
  18. I'm willing to admit it's reasonable to point out Texas had a light schedule. What I've never understood is why Tennessee got a pass on having an essentially identical conference schedule - 7/8 common opponents against which they put together an inferior body of work to Texas, and a 7 point home win against a bipolar Bama team in their big rivalry vs Texas winning by 10 on the road at aggy in a game that had been circled for years. Both teams dog walked inferior power conference opponents out of conference and lost to Georgia by multiple scores in offensive meltdowns. They straight up coasted reputationally on that Bama win when in reality they were the overrated team people have accused Texas of being.
  19. Well, pretty good for a half lol
  20. Texas: 24 Clemson: 13 Clemson yardage: 301 Clemson's got a defense and that means the Texas offense is going to embarrass itself for stretches. Texas will, however, find their way into the 20's and I don't trust Clemson to do the same without a lot of help (i.e. turnovers), that I think Texas manages not to give them despite some dysfunction. This one never gets too out of hand on the scoreboard but also never feels particularly competitive.
  21. Republicans have consistently been really good at shutting down the government, getting rightly blamed for it, and not learning from it. Even under Trump, with Democrats holding the House. One of the more incredible phenomena in the clownshow that is US politics.
  22. No ill will and wish him well but a guy with conditioning issues in south Louisiana is an interesting experiment.
  23. A lot of really dumb things have been said by Texas fans in this manufactured saga but this might take the cake.
  24. I think you just go full NCAA basketball tournament. Expand to 16, autobids for all 10 FBS conference champions (not for the PAC or any other sub-8 league while they're in that state), no CFP polls just a committee selection/seeding at the end of the year. First round games at campuses. If you miss out on one for the 5 at large bids, try not losing to Vandy and Oklahoma.
