Two facts just dawned on me. 

First, I’m not diggin the drippin thread title. That means I’m an old unhip genx boomer straddler. 

Second, I’ve been reading these fall 9.95’r reports for 12 years since the title game and they’ve been absolute crap, with no more reality than a romance novel.  I’m not doing again this year.

Seriously. Fuck these blood-sucking leaches (Ketch, FCB, Bohls, and Brian Davis). I'd rather get no observations from them than have to deal with the fallout from them stirring up fabricated drama.

Instead of learning about bad mouthing the program this will only make those types of fucks write more hatchet job articles. Who does Texas Football think they are to do this to them?

Card feet are still janky, which is why it looks like he's putting so much effort into the throw.  Whereas Ewers looks (and is) smoother.

Ewers arm slot still bugs the hell out of me, and I'm not a big arm-slot guy.

Good thing for you he’s got a bunch of different arm slots!

Ewers looks calm, composed. Card looks a little stiff, nervous, frantic, rushed.

I mean, Card has actually played in college games, behind a bad offensive line, so maybe that's why he's playing like that, but I don't think it leads to good decision-making.

I think Card's private qb coach ruined him.  He looks like a robot because he's been doing ridiculous drills instead of playing football.  He does nothing smoothly and looks like he's focused on perfect movements at all times.

Cards issue in those throws of the lack of touch you hear analysts talk about. No reason to throw an out 90 miles an hour every time. Ewers on the other hand throws a more catchable ball on those routes.

Bobby. Ha. Cracks me up. "It's a real dilemma here. One guy has slightly better footwork. The other guy places the ball better and with better touch at the short, intermediate and deep levels. Man, Sarkisian has a tough choice ahead of him."

Playing QB does not appear to come natural to Card. Basically any kind of improv is non-existent. Which is amazing, because he’s an exceptional athlete playing QB.

His over thinking gets in the way of any natural athleticism. You never get the impression that he's just out there slinging for fun in a way that would allow the athleticism to shine.

Some guys get drilled into their heads that they have to do everything perfectly every time, so when things break down, so do they. They are running through checklists in their head during the play: Put my feet here, turn hips, elbow up, etc. Other guys just say, "Fuck it coach, I got this, we will clean it up in the film room."  The latter is almost always a better player.

One guy takes his drop a little quicker and smoother. One does EVERYTHING ELSE better. Quite the conundrum.

What gets me, if I'm remembering the spring game correctly, is that as far as footwork is concerned is that Card got nervous/happy feet immediately after dropping back.

I don't care how good Card looks in practice or how much anyone tries to tell me how much he's learned/grown/etc. 

Last year's refusal to pull the trigger on throws that were right there for the taking was enough for me. Next.

I refuse to believe that this is a competition, and I am convinced that the $9.95ers drum up a QB competition solely for the clicks.

Expand  

So, no QB ever improved from year to year?

Can't wait to see Kirk's sandy vag response to this.  He ALWAYS bitches about the media being shut out.  He believes they should be allowed for the entirety or all practices and probably the team meetings, too.  What a whiny c*nt.

I don't remember a QB ever being so unwilling to pull the trigger on a throw that is there. 

Quick slant, first read, WR beats his man off the line, Card double pumps. The throw was RIGHT THERE. 

Shit like that cannot happen. And with some QBs it starts happening when practice is over and the plays matter.

I can live with mistakes from a young QB when they are mistakes of aggression. Felt like he was seeing ghosts and that's harder to teach out of someone imo.

Or maybe he can read the fucking room. Whatever petty bullshit you or anyone else has against Burton, he’s not a part of the problem and he’s done more to help Texas in the last year than anyone else except a tiny handful of folks. There are plenty of easy media targets to run over with impunity. Stop being a baby about a neg and move on to them.

I know how much he’s helped. Put you guys into some good conversations. Bobby is great for Texas and one of the best in that 995 industry.

Well, thank you Jethro.  I pretty much don't care for any of the talking heads. Appreciate your input though.

The players and coaches do more for Texas football than Bobby does so I guess we should quit criticizing them too. 

I must have got turned around near Albuquerque I thought I was on Surly.

I don't believe the media, who provide the pictures, have been allowed in the bubble. Hence, the pictures provided by media are all taken outside.

Someone mentioned it the other day and it is true,  the impressive thing to me about Ewers is his ability to throw the right kind of pass.  

If he needs to zip it he does,  if he needs touch on it he does that, if he sees to put air under it he does that,  and he's been doing that since he was a Sophomore in HS.

I think he will be the best QB in the BIG12 by the end of the season.
