    El Ceritto place is a top 10 fav song of mine. Also a cover. Lots of respect from Chesney for Charlie’s version https://americansongwriter.com/the-meaning-behind-the-mournful-el-cerrito-place/

    The Sabine Pilot doctrine is a narrow exception to Texas' employment-at-will doctrine that protects employees from being fired for refusing to commit an illegal act. The key elements of a Sabine Pilot claim are: The employee was an at-will employee The employee refused to perform an illegal act The employee was terminated solely because of the refusal The illegal act must be one that is subject to criminal penalties. Some examples of illegal acts that employees may be asked to commit include: Forging safety documents, Releasing confidential information, Providing customers with unprescribed medications, and Disposing of hazardous materials in an unsafe way. There might be federal protection not sure. Texas law is quoted above.

    I don’t give a fuck about A&M don’t you aggy roller coaster at all? Their program is born to lose. Oregon won’t run it SEC style. I already said Tenn and Uga. so that leaves Bama and Ohio state. I’ll let you win though, it’s Sunday I’d like to laugh and enjoy it a bit. so fuck it, bring in arch, Quinn sucks. Do it sark, we know better.

    Similar arguments can be made re Arch and his performances against ULM and Miss St which are trotted out here as evidence he’s a guaranteed 300 yards passing 50 running and 1 TO max in high pressured playoff games. they aren’t good barometers of play in big time games

    QE has done that. I actually think he’s got some big games in him left. I could be wrong. I still think no turnovers, 350 total yards can be enough unless DG runs amuck like it’s the state fair and he’s a sooner again.

    Not really. Oregon no, BYU no, ND no, Tenn maybe, Uga yes, Bama not really, Ohio state, haven’t watched enough, ACC, no. Pretty much the top of the SEC. Even still Arkansas is large as fuck across the front and has a big grown ass man RB and we held them to one TD drive. Legit.

    I think Texas whistle blower law is the Sabine pilot case and I don’t recall the elements but it’s a hard cause of action to establish in Texas. Shocker I know.

    The only teams that can mash our D are ones that have massive a massive Oline and can run it straight at you. Frankly that’s the best offensive strategy for Arkansas and in the second half they got a TD and turned it over. Our defense is pretty fucking legit.

    I think only Oregon but that may be PTSD from last year in Dallas.

    Y’all think I don’t acknowledge he played poorly, I mean the whole offense shit the bed too I just don’t see a RS Fr playing better. Sorry don’t see it. Sark doesn’t either. if you want me to acknowledge QE has regressed I have and will again. arch isn’t the answer this year. QE showing up is.

    Our only loss was because of turnovers. Take those away that game is a nail biter. Our defense is so fucking legit we don’t need high flying offense we need no turnover 24-27 points.
  12. troph
    100% this.

    I’m extremely disappointed in QE’s play this year. It’s counter balanced by pleasant surprise our defense is so dominant. I just think QE can play elite and he has before. I simply do not think Arch will play like a seasoned veteran in the playoffs. I truly believe a no turnover QE who throws for 200 is enough to win the playoffs. And I think arch is simply too inexperienced to take the chance on what is our best chance at a title since well last year.

    Go yell at someone else. Y’all are fucking crazy.
  15. troph
    Except evidence from even yesterday showed you’re wrong.

    I said he has poor pocket presence. That doesn’t mean he’s a one read QB. Y’all are drinking bleach I’m convinced.
  17. troph
    Dude drunk ass Jesse Palmer fucking showed him going to 3rd and 4th reads yesterday at least on 3 occasions. It was plain as day. You’re acting like a drunk hyena.

    The crux of it is which QB gives Texas the best chance at a title run this year and nothing else matters. The fact that QE should be better this year than he is is not an option right now. It’s a redshirt freshman with zero big game experience or QE who has won big and has shit the bed. Sark had emphatically made his decision, I agree with him for this year. No doubt arch has a much higher ceiling for his career but he does not have a higher ceiling for this year and against playoff contenders im going to guess sark doesn’t think he’s ready either.
  19. troph
    He is not a single read QB. He doesn’t always make the right decision but he has a much better grasp of elite defenses than arch does and in fact does go through his progressions. his limitations are mobility, pocket presence, and the deep ball. But touch, intermediate accuracy and reading defenses he’s way ahead of arch.

    ULM lost by 40 to auburn this week. Mississippi state hasn’t won a single conference game. Those are not remotely close to examples of what arch would face at Kyle field or in the playoffs. the complete dismissal of what could go wrong with arch behind center for a title run on this thread is really odd to me.
  21. troph
    That’s fair but I think arch’s performance against ULM and MS aren’t representative of what arch would face at A&M or in the playoffs. I think arch has a low that’s low enough to guarantee a loss in the playoffs because of serious inexperience and truth is most inexperienced QBs make mistakes at the wrong times. Quinn is inconsistent but we all know his best is good enough. Problem is getting him to put together 3-4 great games. He may not do it, but I think game losing freshman mistakes are all but guaranteed in the playoffs with arch because even the best freshman usually make freshman mistakes.
  22. troph
    I agree.
  23. troph
    The game isn’t slo enough for arch yet at least not against elite teams. He’s going to make freshmen mistakes, complex defenses will fuck him up. Sark doesn’t have as wide open of a play book for him as he does for Quinn. He’s not as good at progressions. He is going to take the deep shot when he should check down. He’s going to win bigly here in due time though.

    Let’s pay them $10 mil a year then and get rid of sark.

    I don’t care about that I care about under the circumstances we find ourselves in which QB gives us the best chance for a title run. It’s an imperfect solution set but I think it’s QE. Now I’m not happy about our odds with him but I do think the chances are near zero with arch and above zero with QE and if the QE we know is there can show up I think we are the favorite.
