You’re not wrong, but Sam HAS had several of these type games.

Not even close. Simms went 9/17 for 130 yards, 3 INTs, and zero touchdowns against Colorado in less than a single half of play before getting benched. Good for a passer efficiency rating of just 81.

By comparison, in Sam's worst career game (against TCU last year), he went 22/48 for 321 yards, 2 TDs, and 4 INTs for a passer efficiency rating of 99.1 over an entire game. It's a ludicrous comparison.

If Sam declares and goes undrafted, he should give UFA status in Buffalo serious consideration. The Bills have taken a pretty damn inaccurate QB and turned him into an All-Pro contender that will shatter Jim Kelly's single season franchise passing records.

That inaccurate QB has a fucking CANNON attached to his shoulder.

Yeah that comparison makes zero sense.

I’m all about Sam but Allen has one of the stronger arms I’ve ever seen, think accuracy and touch can be learned, can’t really teach that kinda arm strength

The "inaccurate" QB you are talking about was better than Sam in every measurable way coming out of Wyoming. He is bigger, faster, and most importantly, he has one of, if not the best arm in the NFL. This is an absolute asinine comparison.

Beyond zero.    

Love Ehlinger like everyone else for his commitment and dedication to the program.   He was a nice / good college QB but his next plans shouldn't be relying on a pro football career because he won't have one.

Yeah the way people are acting like Sam has never had a good throwing game in his life now is obscene.

Dude had some AMAZING game here.  He had less this year than we'd all want.

Hope he decides to move on and all the good fortune in the world to a great Longhorn QB in a really bad period in our program.

I don’t want to shit on Sam too much but that throw that Casey just made is a throw Sam can’t make. 

So, fucking. Stupid. Every throw Casey made last night, Sam has made.  Just not enough, especially this year, for whatever reason.

Wrong. He's made it.

You do want to shit on Sam.

Thompsons done all you can ask of him tonight.

All of this.

Look, we ALL get it.  They'll be better off with Casey starting the whole season next year.  But Sam has been a very good QB for us in a VERY bad period of our program's history.  He's helped laid the groundwork to them getting back to the Top, and we should appreciate him for it.

You guys need to stop shitting on Sam just to try to prove you were Right about him or some shit.

Legends win conferences and championships, not just pad stats over 4 years.

Imagine thinking that Sam took shot after shot, fought through injury, and dragged us to comeback wins just to "pad his stats". Imagine being this dedicated to hating on a four-year starter. Christ.

I wonder if Sam has any inkling of transferring.

At this point, there's no reason to trash him. It is ok just to shut up.

The coaching staff probably had an overreliance on Sam due to his experience. The inexplicable were the continued throws deep down the sideline. This is complicated because at some point we tried too hard to establish the run rather than letting the natural game flow dictate. Sam did well with the hurry up right? Part of that is because he developed a rhythm.

So that to last night. First half. Didn't make it on 4th and 1. That was 4 runs. Another possession. Two big pass plays get down inside CUs 30. Run it on 1st. Lose yardage and put us behind the chains. Rarely did we allow Sam post OU to throw all 3 downs.

I think that helped Casey. His 2nd possession. 4 throws in a row. The 3rd was the big 3rd down completion to Brewer.

I am confident our offense will be tons better next year.

crossposting because it's so fucking awesome. It's like a highlight reel of Sam making 40+ yard passes in stride to receivers who don't drop the fucking ball and that turns into points and/or touchdowns. Incredible really. 

Fake news obviously.  Sam "can't make those throws"

To where?

No idea. I would think he's not satisfied with his ending while realizing that Casey has waited for his opportunity. It's somewhat unthinkable that he could go elsewhere but curious as to whether that thought would ever enter his mind. Russell Wilson left one starting gig for another.

Maybe UNC? Play his guts out for Mack?
