I don't see that one at all. Card is the opposite of Case, he has a good arm he is just ridiculously slow and indecisive going through progressions. Case actually was a pretty quick thinker who got the ball out he just didn't have the arm to get it there.

A faster/slighter of build David Ash I could see. Honestly "faster Case" is probably Casey Thompson lol. Case's arm was one of the worst I have seen in D1 football in the last 30 years, though.

He’s Gilbert with a shitty arm. That’s both his talent and the staff’s faith in him compiled.

Card is more accurate than Gilbert but I can kinda see it. Both have the deer in headlights thing in the pocket going on for sure. Even though he looked like a goof doing it, Gilbert was at his best running the ball a lot (see Nebraska 2010), which is probably true for Card as well. Luckily we have an actual team now with WRs and RBs and don't need mediocre QBs to do VY/Colt impressions.

He has an average arm, can't hit a deep ball to save his life, and anything past 7 yards is 50/50 on whether or not the wr is able to catch it. 

 

As for the comparison, it wasn't physical, it was football ability. But it's cool that we see different things in him, but we'll have to agree to disagree on this one, my dude.

Well he was damn good escaping the pocket. He also had at least the two shittiest throws - one a TD for us, one that coulda been a TD for them.

Card is less accurate than any qb that has started a game for Texas this century.  Sark stopped letting him even try to throw to wide receivers in the 2nd half because he was so bad.  He's not good enough to be a backup for a power 5 team.

He’s very average. Like Garrett Gilbert,  just one of those kids who peaked in HS and just doesn’t have the extra gear. Nice to have as a back up , bud doesn’t look like a power 5 starter

Stopping in to give a shout out to the fucking moron who sits 2 or 3 rows behind me in 107 (season ticket holder - He's ALWAYS there,  unfortunately).

Mid 3rd quarter UTSA had two consecutive runs up the middle that netted 11 yards and moved the chains. Dumbass, all exasperated, yells, "We are so damn soft up the middle!"

I look up at the board and at that point UTSA had 87 yards rushing. Again, mid-Q3.

Fucking idiot. 

   With Frank Harris gaining about 30 of that. People are so dumb. Whenever I come back to campus I spend the whole game fielding questions from the olds(alumni section). I know you played I remember you. No I didn't. You sure? Yes I am sure. What's your name again? Nonya.

I had the same thought watching him tonight. He’s Case with better physical tools. 

  Naw, bro. Case SAW the game, his family just wasn't gifted in the strong arm category, and he was even at the bottom of that. Card doesn't see it. My daughter played volleyball with a girl like that last year. Tall. Strong arm. Hit well in practice, but when the lights came on she would wilt.

I will say, Ewers made the same Worthy deep ball misses against ULM as Card did tonight. He fixed it once against Bama obviously and probably would’ve hit 2 more. Also, bum ankle. Obviously Ewers should starts I’m just sayin.

   Not really. A lot of balls that he has been thrown are catchable, Worthy just loses them in the air. He doesn't adjust to balls well, but I get it. At that speed each step blurs your vision a little. That's why catching deep balls while running full speed is so hard.

    There is nothing wrong with Card's arm. His problem is between his ears. Ole Noodle could at least work the field 12 yards and in. Card can't even do that.

Very similar experience here, too. The tickets my friend gave me ended up being basically right next to the defacto UTSA student section. I also had some older UTSA alums behind me. They were a mouthy little bunch. One dumbfuck said they were going to score a TD next time they got the ball after the UTSA TD that was overturned after a review because “the ball don’t lie.” Then naturally Barron got the pick 6 and promptly shut their asses up.

As someone who’s daughters played against SA team, I can attest that their fans are the worst. They are graceless trash. Fat fathers screaming at soccer refs (and getting kicked off the pitch, lol), heavy metal-looking types who cheer when our players were injured, and worse. So glad that’s no longer a thing we have to do. Full disclosure, I’m from SA. Oh, and that final little thing about all their teams always sucking. It’s no coincidence that “Friday Night Tykes” was shot in San Antonio.

I once watched a movie called “Friday Night Dykes” so this hits close to home.

[Duane Moore 5764]

Last night should be a clear message to us all that Card is just a limited, pedestrian game manager. And I say that while agreeing with @Thatguy that the deep ball issues aren’t all Card’s fault. Worthy just isn’t seeing them well and there are times when the ball is in his area and he doesn’t even make a play for it. I continue to believe the loss of Neyor has really hurt the potential of this offense in that regard, and it has the secondary effect of allowing the defense to crowd e box, hampering our running game. 
 

That still doesn’t explain why Card isn’t able to hit anything down the field beyond dump offs and WR screens to the sidelines. I tend to agree that he just doesn’t process what’s happening fast enough, or doesn’t trust what he is seeing because he seems hesitant and indecisive.  At least he isn’t turning the ball over, which may also explain why he is playing hesitant - he’s too scared of throwing an INT to make a throw into a tighter window. 
 

There’s no point in berating the guy anymore, we know what he is and what he isn’t by this time. Quinn is QB1 by a country mile, and until he gets back, we’re just going to have to hope for gutting out ugly wins like last night. 

[Dbeasy 15608]

Every Texas QB after McCoy and before Ewers hasn’t been able to consistently hit the deep ball. And that is huge.

Not only do they lose scoring opportunities, it allows defenses to apply more pressure, crowd the line of scrimmage, and generally make life very difficult for the offense. Ewers may have missed a few during the Alabama game, but he also hit a few. They are a different team with him, obviously. We shouldn’t ever have to see a Texas QB that can’t throw deep. It’s ridiculous. 

[texasdago 7771]

I felt a certain dread and discomfort every time Card was leading the helm and you could tell that the Wildcat would yield better results.  That said, Harris was solid and his receivers were catching almost everything thrown their way.

 

Good riddance to UTSA

I still don't know all that was said but here is the handshake discussion.

 

Was Traylor lobbying the refs hard (presumably to get a targeting call) while Harris was laying on the ground for a minute? It was definitely a delayed flag if irc so, I could see Sark wanting to get to the bottom of it with him because of how egregious it was.

[kevwun 16444]

It's really hard to avoid a face mask to face mask hit in a situation like that.  It's a penalty if he launches himself and I don't know how a blitzer up the middle can move fast enough to get to the qb, but pull up for the sack.

[Texasrocks 2253]

I was impressed by Traylor. He certainly out coached Sark. UTSA was well prepared and fired up. They had a good game plan and did really well for having a patchwork o-line. Harris torched our corner blitzes like he knew what the play call was. They obviously scouted our kick off team and looked for Watts all night. UTSA coaches did their homework. Fortunately, they don't have a RoJo or a Bijan. 

[kevwun 16444]

UTSA would have never had a 10 point lead if Ewers had started.

Maybe this is our team, but it kinda felt like they all just coasted this week after Alabama and before conference play.

[Deej 77856]

Definitely some let down after a tough loss and a very physical game last week. It was about what I expected. Ewers is healthy and we put up a bunch more points. 

[Js1 87219]

I thought it was obvious we had a big letdown first half. Just played half asleep. Got caught napping. 

That we were able to turn it on and win by 21 after being down 10 is not what this team could do last year. Already growth in that area

This feels like one of those games that a Tom Herman team would’ve taken to the final possession and possibly lost or last year’s team would’ve definitely lost. It still feels like a good win all things considered and we’re seeing a lot of progress so far this year.

[Wulaw Horn 19598]

If you switched QB’s we would have won by 50. 
If you watch college football and can’t understand why we went 5-7 last year after watching Card and Thompson I can’t help you. Very excited for the WB situation to be fixed for at least the next 3.5 years with Ewers and Arch. Need another good one 1.000 type in 25 and find a program back up that’s a little better than what we have in 24 and this team is going to be fine for a long time.

The first 20-25 minutes were a classic hangover game.

It's disappointing that it happened, but encouraging that we fixed it and finished the game on a 34-3 run.  We might have lost that game last year and definitely would've during the Herman years.

[Lurch 5950]

[MirrOlure 15292]

This was an easy and trendy “upset special” for national analysts and many Surlys. We took their best “underdog with nothing to lose” shot, wobbled a little, then buckled up and beat the crap out of them the rest of the way….all with a pedestrian QB. I’m as gruntled as I could have hoped to be after 3 games.

A UTSA couple sat in front me me and they were alright. They were clearly amped up when the Roadrunners were leading, this obviously being their Super Bowl, but they weren’t disrespectful at all. They left dejected when Texas started running away with it.
