Orngblud05 Posted October 24 Share Posted October 24 Heavens guys. Just got done with C&F. Layering this morning in with the rest of the weeks content, you wouldn’t know we’ve spent most of the season as #1 and are 6-1. Way too much doom and gloom about this team IMO. Look, last week we ran in to a buzz saw. All of our experience, all of our speed…it’s still Vanderbilt guys. I’ll eat crow if I need to Saturday evening but I expect 2 things. Quinn is gonna deal and Texas is gonna roll. Book it. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoHorns1 Posted October 24 Share Posted October 24 6-1 was the record most fans expected after the Georgia game with the one loss to Georgia. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not the loss itself. It’s the fact there is now two games of evidence that our 3rd year QB is having a major regression both mentally and mechanically. People arnt super confident that that can be fixed by “trying harder” or “good week of prep” and they are looking at away games in Fayetteville and College Station a bit worried we are going to have this version of Quinn in those. Hope you’re thrilled with the 6-1 though. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Takes off a month. Shows some rust vs OU but plays fine. Then hits the buzz saw and now people are like “he sucks”. Just odd to me. thats why I said a week too soon in the title though. Give the guy a little latitude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just odd to me. thats why I said a week too soon in the title though. Give the guy a little latitude. I viewed the OU game much different than you. I saw a quarterback that: Was checking down sometimes before his first route was done. A QB with diminished arm strength and velocity I shocking regression in QB1 footwork. A QB second guessing his ability to fit the ball in windows needed. A QB not working up in the pocket but instead routinely backing out and over- this self sacking These are things I expected to (and did) see out of a first year player … Not a 3rd year “heisman candidate” … It was honestly shocking. Then he followed that up with another performance of a similar caliber. Poor pocket awareness, weak armed throws, early check downs, not able to run mesh or slant routes because of slop footwork, self sacks… There were beater and men open but his picture is processing slowly right now. If it’s not somewhat concerning to you that’s very odd. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we should all just approach everything with lower expectations that way we arnt disappointed. You should implement that in your work place or tell your boss that if you work for someone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence I formed my own practices as soon as I could. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it’s not somewhat concerning to you that’s very odd. Focus of the OP was not on Quinn. Let’s just agree for a minute that what you say is true, we are playing Vanderbilt with a significant advantage at almost every position. Even if Quinn has a B- game available due to the injury hangover, we take care of business. He doesn’t need arm strength or the deep ball in this game.

chennups Posted October 25 Share Posted October 25 I think most people thought six and one would be the best record possible at this point in the season. Some people predicted we may have a loss to OU or even Michigan as well prior to the season starting. I think it’s OK to take a step back and see how the team responds. With the 12 team playoff, one loss does not end your season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
