  1. I like this cause it fits my narrative. WVU at #2. Mizzou at #183 versus #152 in the RPI. Breaks up the SEC. I think to get preferable tourney seeding a moderate to weak non-conference schedule is the way to go. Compile victories. WVU may be the test dummy for non-SEC teams though. Don’t screw with west coast teams because a number of those schools out west have some pitching to mess you up. They may not sweep you, but that pitching can take a game or two.
  2. Now that you say that, I agree. I’d take Dion Marion over Difler though. Sark would likely not recruit Sam. He had an opportunity to have him as his QB. Ideally he wants the guy that can “make all the throws” Nevermind all those would be incredibly infrequent. In all my life, I’ve only seen one dude make a 1st down on 3rd and 10 scrambling for the first when the defense dropped 10 guys, but Sark doesn’t care about the dude that “can make all the scrambles.” Think Whittington and Johnson were related to being too bulky and inflexible this leading to their troubles. Flexibility issues cause problems.
  3. Are you going down the path that Trent Dilfer is better than Dan Marion? That Craig Krenzel is better than, well, a ton of guys? And by the way I addressed a specific point that had nothing to do with wins and losses.
  4. I try not to SEC. My bitterness and disdain for the SEC likely never subsides. I like that WVU has taken to that bogus scheduling. Win a lot of games, and it’s difficult to root you out. i also enjoyed all the close SEC games today. Aren’t they all barnburners?
  5. If you lose to Missouri, that should eliminate you from post season consideration. I swear they were 160 in the RPI before playing Bama. 0-4 on the week and run ruled twice.
  6. A few metrics for consideration from PFF between the 2. Sam had the highest passing grade in a single season. He had the highest single season big time throw rate and also a higher big time throw rate for his career. His career turnover worthy play rate was lower too although his frosh year was slightly higher than QEs year 3. 4.1 to 4.0. So there’s at least one reference point that is contrary to your belief. You should have said I’m more impressed with QEs arm than Sam’s.
  7. Quinn played with more drafted linemen than all Texas QBs combined since what 2008? He never played at Texas without a draftable WR, TE or RB. He never played without a top 10 defense. His only game that we won in which the opponent scored 30+ was ASU. They got that in OT to get to 31. Beuchele, Card, Thompson, Sam all lost games scoring more than 31 points. I don’t think Ewers ever did. Theres no valid comparison between Ewers and any QB since Colt. Ewers had probably a top 5-ish of all time opportunity. Same system. Same staff instructing. Unmatched offensive talent in Texas history. There’s not really a close 2nd. He’s a more gifted Ken Dorsey without the title.
  8. You think some random, anonymous quote impacts other teams perceptions? I’d assume that certain confidants share information, but there’d be hope that others are willing to draft guys that’d be detrimental to team goals. Thats to say nothing of whether Shedeur cares of his perception otherwise he wouldn’t be the person with that reputation in the first place.
  9. See. He Told everybody “I want the Dolphins to draft me.”
  10. No. Just the ones that might have had interest.
  11. Any chance Ewers has told certain teams not to draft him?
  12. I realize the timing could be different but Banks technically committed before Ewers.
  13. I’ve already forgotten what he posted.
  14. Well what insight do you have about that? Its a curious thought considering several weeks ago it was put out there that he played thru a torn oblique. It also would raise several questions about our choices.
  15. Defensive guys maybe getting over drafted whereas offensive guys going on the under. The NFL telling us something?
  16. Yes, on the deep ball. The grading would take into account accuracy. This year he was less favorable in the intermediate range.
  17. There’s possibly too much talk about Ewers deep ball precipitating his drop. This past year he’s in the same ballpark on grading and completion percentage as Dart and Shough.
  18. Given what I understand your high school upbringing to be, I find “access merchants” quite amusing.
  19. Not near as many mid to upper 90s fastball guys as were anticipated. And I think LSUs guys like that were transfers. Ruger/Sanders - transfers. Not near as much power either.
  20. If you have the right horses relative to your competition, anything can work. And, if you can confuse the opponents D because they see it so infrequently, that can make a difference too. Liberty Hill is an example of this. I’m old enough to have been in a wing T offense then shortly after seen my high school transition to more open offenses. Then seeing the evolution since that time. I have a biased, personal preference of which offense I’d choose. And a key support of that is the number of QBs from Texas that have succeeded at higher levels. Thirty years ago Cam award is likely never heard from beyond high school. Obviously, the reasons run deeper than simply the offense, but that’s one reason.
  21. The right place at the right time is quite significant. For much of this Longhorn roster that is the case. I’m not sure there’s ever been a time when competition has been higher or profiles have been elevated more at Texas than now. And there are far more coaches that are able to bring you down than lift you to your maximum potential.
  22. Was it most prevalent in the 80s/90s in Texas? The time period in which few Texas high school QBs went on to be good college QBs and even fewer to the NFL. Some have said QB is the most important position. So, let’s run an offense that limits the QB. Just cause the Marlin Bulldogs ran roughshod over you with it does not mean it was a beautiful offense.
  23. What a terrible offense. His story kinda tells you that.
  24. I agree. The RPI needs retooling. Go on the road to beat Mizzou, and you get a quad 3 win. Nevermind they have been run ruled in 4 straight. 3 at home. One by a barely above .500 team. Half their SEC games have only lasted 7 innings. They have 3 quad 1-3 wins - UConn, Illinois and SIEU. Playing the #101 team at home is not equivalent to beating the last place SWAC team. Yet it is. At some point, games should be thrown out. That way there’s fewer reasons to cancel. If we’re weighing Tuesday/Wednesday games in the same manner you weigh weekends/conference games, that’s dumb. Using a metric for post season seeding that gives such an impact to pitchers you likely won’t see in the post season is not indicative of how the post season will play out. And all that bs leads to games being canceled.
