  1. Sarkisian will try to win by 2 or 3 TDs? Seems pretty unlikely.
  2. I mean, they “matter” in a broad sense, but the bye comes with winning the SEC and not having four conference champions ranked higher.
  3. So people really do think Manning can keep a healthy Ewers on the bench? Good times.
  4. ULM isn’t good. For the most part, Sarkisian runs the offense even with backups, rather than simply grinding clock on the ground.
  5. Looks like a missing vote, which is probably the only thing that would make sense.
  6. UGA lost 8 first place votes and gained points. Seems odd.
  7. Were there a lot of Pipp references when Murphy took over for an injured Ewers last season? I must’ve missed them.
  8. At least Gehrig and Brady accomplished great things. What a shitshow being Romo’ed would be.
  9. Both imply Ewers lost the starting job. My question is whether that’s actually being implied. Because “he got hurt and he’ll be back when he’s ready” is SOP and doesn’t require a reference to Pipp.
  10. Wally Pipp got replaced for all eternity. Wally Pipp opted out for a minor injury (according to the story, which isn’t true, either). Neither applies here. Apparently it’s not as clear a reference to you as it should be.
  11. There’s a much better scenario for moving up than this one. I’d rather see the better scenario play out.
  12. No, I’m not emotionally invested. I’m asking what your opinion is. Wally Pipp didn’t take over for “weeks.” The “if Ewers can’t go” is the crux of the issue, though. If Ewers can’t go, of course Manning plays. A photo of Wally Pipp doesn’t imply “waiting for Ewers to be good to go,” though.
  13. You don’t really believe what that photo implies, do you?
  14. Agreed. I mean, Sarkisian says that’s never what this offense is going to be, but it’s something they have in their back pocket. Honestly, though, if I’m in the position and Manning is the go-to guy, if I call anything like that Manning slides at the first sign of impending contact and I have a pass built off that look.
  15. And I’m agreeing with you other than the claim that the DCs at top programs are scared by that run.
  16. Quinn isn’t a statue, either, though, so I’m not sure how much actual difference there is other than one looks to find secondary receivers better.
  17. I doubt it scares the shit out of any good team. If I’m playing Texas, I’d much rather have him trying to run the ball so we can get shots at him than have him looking at second and third reads from the pocket. He’s no Wingo, Bond, Cook, Golden, etc. It’s not a look they’d see with Ewers in the game, so that’s something, but I doubt it’s going to keep anyone up at night, especially knowing if Manning is in Owen is probably next up.
  18. Ewers has shown enough mobility and Manning isn’t going to be featured in the running game. I think “try to keep them in the pocket” covers both.
  19. A thought for whom? The coach who’s been starting Ewers and deals with the two every day? Or randos on the Internet? Because randos on the internet have the thought that the earth is flat.
  20. Quit changing your fucking argument when you get called on it. He might get hurt. That doesn’t mean Manning is the better option until it’s between him and Owens.
  21. You didn’t see him getting lit up because he didn’t recognize the blitz? He’s going to be good but, right now, this instant, he has a long way to go. Especially against better athletes than UTSA. I didn’t suggest he should. He probably shouldn’t play until OU.
