    If I remember correctly, when Colt left Texas, he had more wins than any other QB (at any level) in the history of CFB and had the most accurate season of all-time. Kind of hard to beat that.

    and he did it all with essentially zero nfl talent around him at the skill positions. shipley was an outstanding college wr and obviously the perfect complement to colt, but even he wasn’t an nfl talent. colt LED his teams and earned his stats. hell, unless i’m forgetting someone he had a better nfl career than any of his skill position teammates. Colt McCoy was a special college qb.

    and just so people remember:

    colt mccoy:

    •freshman: ranked 2nd in the rocky mountain news heisman poll before getting injured with 1-2 games left

    •sophomore: slump (injuries + team issues)

    •junior: heisman runner up (stolen from him)

    •senior: heisman runner up

    when you compare someone to colt, you’re talking about a two time heisman finalist who would also have been invited to the DAC as a freshman were it not for a late season neck injury. this is one of the best QBs in cfb history, and only his (gut wrenchingly unfair) lack of a heisman and NC (😡😭🤬) make people forget that.

    whenever colt as a junior and senior faced 3rd and 7 it felt like a foregone conclusion that we were converting and moving the chains. one of the reasons Colt doesn’t have as many signature moments is because he was so consistently awesome (save that fluky sophomore year) that we didn’t have a ton of moments where we truly needed him to make a play. but when we did, he made it.

    colt was consistent, colt was supremely accurate, colt was our leading rusher, colt constantly made things happen after the play had broken down, both with his arm and his legs- colt was the embodiment of a davey o’brien/maxwell award winner. by his junior year we felt the exact same way about colt as we did VY- whatever the situation was, we all had supreme confidence that our qb was going to find a way to lead Texas to a win. as @Dahobbs has been saying, we never got to that point with QE through three years as a starter, and again, QE was surrounded with more talent on the o line, the TE’s, the wr’s, the running backs, the OC, and the HC. i don’t think people are truly appreciating how much more QE had to work with talent wise than Colt ever did. so for me this is like comparing ricky williams to shon mitchell; no disrespect to mitchell (or QE), but you are who you are (a good college player), and you ain’t nowhere close to ricky (colt). nothing wrong with that, but them’s the facts.

    was just posting about this in the arsenal thread, but i keep seeing posts online which show that villa’s xG and expected points are wildly off what they’ve actually gotten. the last one i read said that villa was 20+ points ahead of where you would expect them to be based on the underlying metrics. and yet here they are, five minutes away from yet another win. good ebening indeed.
