    Kitan looked like a can’t miss prospect coming out of high school, no idea why he is so bad.

    That really isn't a counter, because I never said the receivers shouldn't/couldn't, in fact most of them have made tough catches this season. However the expectation shouldn't be that they will do so consistently. They aren't going to make tough catches 100 out of 100 of the times. And you are blaming Sanders on that play when there is no reason Quinn should have threw that ball to his knees to begin with. That is where it starts, it was a piss poor throw.

    Our receivers shouldn't have to make tough catches every time a ball is thrown their way. The problem starts with the QB, when he starts playing better and making better passes the offense will look a lot better.

    I doubt the loss really had anything to do with it. It was just their expectation with a win commits would happen. These remaining recruits aren't deciding based on who wins on a week to week basis.

    Well I guess you are just blind. They aren’t blatant pulls and pushes more like tugs and guiding. Really good DB work from HT because you can’t even see it lol

    I guess it doesn’t make sense if you don’t understand what you are watching. There is a video in this very thread with every throw to Worthy. Go watch that play and focus on HT’s hands only at the top of the route. He tugs at Worthy’s jersey to make up ground with his right hand and then with the left he pushes Worthy so he can undercut the route. They aren’t going to jump out at you and I’m sure seems negligible on TV but makes a difference on the football field.

    I know this may seem subtle to some of you but if you watch, HT tugs at Worthy’s jersey which pulls Worthy’s momentum back and allows HT to undercut the route. Those are little nuances you learn as a DB and while it doesn’t look like much on TV it makes a difference on the field. It was still a bad throw but I’m not sure there was much more Worthy could do.

    Never said they weren’t catchable but why are you putting more onus on a receiver to catch a bad ball instead of the QB for throwing a bad ball when it’s consistent from the QB. Also I doubt a player that normally has 2-3 yards on his defender is out there dogging it and running half speed. But Ewers is missing a shitload of throws, not sure I’ve seen a Texas QB miss so many.

    You have to be Mr Ewers with some of these tapes. You are blaming Worthy for not catching bad balls thrown by his QB. I couldn’t even get past #3. The first one is late and not thrown where its supposed to be. #2 is high and behind Worthy, and Cheetah wouldn’t have even caught up to #3. Ewers is the QB and leader of the offense he needs to start playing better and throwing better passes.
  10. SarkAfterDark
    The biggest person holding the offense back is Ewers. If he plays better, everything else falls into place. Not sure how Worthy became the biggest issue all of a sudden, all this Worthy isn’t running hard enough or not tracking balls better resolves itself when his QB starts throwing a better ball. Doesn’t even have to be perfect just get it in the vicinity of your wide open receiver.
  11. SarkAfterDark
    What? I swear y’all wouldn’t be satisfied until Worthy laid out on the field only to see the ball bounce 2 yards in front of him. Not sure who started this group think nonsense but there is no lack of effort on Worthy’s part. The deep balls aren’t catchable. Worthy is doing his part beating his man and most times a safety too. His QB can’t get him the ball.
  12. SarkAfterDark
    I guess you'd think this is you are only paying attention to where Ewers throws the ball.
  13. SarkAfterDark
    Yes Sanders, Whittington, and Worthy are routinely open. The QB can't get them the ball. Hell Bijan was wide ass open on an easy TD play but QB1 had decided to throw to Sanders. There is nothing wrong with the scheme. The problem is at QB.
  14. SarkAfterDark
    A lot of words to make excuses for Ewers. The ball came out too early, he threw it right at the break instead of throwing it where Whittington was going. It was poorly executed by Ewers and a bad throw. I guess we can blame Whittington for not making some kind of miracle catch on the play idk.
  15. SarkAfterDark
    What does Sark need to adjust to? There are wide open receivers all over the field. His QB can't execute.
  16. SarkAfterDark
    The ball should be out when the receiver is making his break, it shouldn’t be flying past him. Ewers rushed that throw.
  17. SarkAfterDark
    Rewatch the play again, the ball was on him as soon as he came out of his break.
  18. SarkAfterDark
    Part of that route is not looking for the ball until you come out of your break. If he is looking the whole way then the DB can break on the ball. He is selling that he could be running a route that breaks outside by looking that way which is part of the fake. The play is designed that way, Ewers threw the ball entirely too early. If he waits a second that is likely a completed pass for a TD. It’s ok if you don’t get it but that is the nuance to that route.
  19. SarkAfterDark
    This was bad juju and I don’t understand why this thread wasn’t nuked before game time.
  20. SarkAfterDark
    The entire offense starts with the QB, and Whittington wasn’t looking for the ball because Ewers through a fast ball before he even came out of his break, ball was already on him by the time it was time for him to look for it. No need to excuse how bad Ewers was by saying the entire offense was bad, they are better if he plays better.
  21. SarkAfterDark
    I think a lot of you forget these recruits also lose games on Friday. Some aren’t even in the HS playoffs. They don’t care about individual wins or losses as much as fans.
  22. SarkAfterDark
    Their QB didn’t help them on either of those throws hence the QB being the bigger issue. Not going to shit on the WRs when the QB can’t hit anyone in the numbers. TCU bet that Ewers couldn’t beat them and they were right.
  23. SarkAfterDark
    When your QB is erratic there will be drops. Not going to fault a guy for not catching a ball thrown at his knees nor do I care about a drop that would have gained 1 yd and ran 30 seconds off the clock at the end of a half. Billingsley drop was bad but again that would have been a catch for about 2 yards. The QB is a bigger issue.
  24. SarkAfterDark
    Yes. Yes he is. Regardless our WRs aren’t the issue. Our QB1 just isn’t very good right now.

    Is the question posed a serious question. Card got his chance last year and his chance this year. No thanks. But at this point let’s see what Murphy can do.
