    So serious question here, can we bring back Chris Beard? I'm not in the "never should have fired him" camp. He forced our hand with an idiotic decision . That said, time has passed and circumstances have changed. Beard is a great basketball coach and a one of a kind fit in terms of understanding the strengths and weaknesses of this program. Bring the dude back. Donate some money to charity and say the apologies. Get with Sark on the sober lifestyle and let's win some damn basketball games. On RT, damn I have never seen such a soft team wearing Texas uniforms. Just pathetic.

    The big issue for me is that a later January portal isn't really compatible with um, the players actually going to college? It seems like a better solution is to get rid of all the dead time on the calendar and get the national championship game on NYD.

    I've seen it said elsewhere that in addition to the blocking he was a little slow to pick up the playbook, but he was liked by the coaches and not considered to be a character problem or anything like that. Hopefully in year two he can step up and take on a big role.

    C'mon man Quinn obviously had a much better supporting cast. Sam was able to beat Georgia unlike Quinn.

    Sam in 2019 in a Tom Herman offense with one decent receiver: 13 games, 3663 yards, 32 TD 10 Int 8.1 yards/attempt. Quinn in a Sark offense: 14 games, 3472 yards, 31 TD 12 int 7.8 yards/attempt. Where does this "Quinn and it's not close" narrative come from? As passers only it is extremely close. And then Sam is also a weapon with his legs (almost 2k career rushing yards and 33 TDs)... I'm sorry but I think Sam is the clear choice here. That's not disrespecting Quinn, it is respecting how good Sam was.

    For me it is Sam all day. He's only slightly behind Quinn as a passer and much better in terms of feel for the game and running. At the NFL level Quinn will be better because Sam lacks arm strength, but I don't think that inhibited him in college.

    The SEC sucks. All they did was provide us 7 patsies + UGA. Playing in the Big 12 in 2022 we were the #1 SOS in the entire country! Thx for the TV money though.

    Dude has been dominating in the NFL so far! Definitely one of the most memorable players I have seen at UT. Our defense would be absolutely incredible if we had him this year.

    Did you watch the video? That video is it being called this season.

    This is incorrect. Pushing is legal, pulling is not. The play should have been a 5 yard penalty. This is an official video from the NCAA:

    Why do you say that? No way we are taking him back next year, given situation with Arch. If it's in his best interest to play another year of CFB (and IMO it probably is) then I support it and will root for him, assuming it's not some kind of rival or something.

    Feels like the NIL demands of these two were not reasonable. The WR has 800 yards and 3 TDs over two years... The DB probably won't see the field here. I get that there is a level of untapped potential here but personally I'm not allocating especially significant NIL resources to these two. Of course I'm sure they eventually will accept the market reality, in which case they could definitely help our team.

    Dude is a lot better than Carson Beck that is for sure lol

    Would be really dumb for an NFL team to match that $110M contract and it would be really dumb for Riley to forego that money to go be an NFL OC. Riley as an NFL HC would be a bad hire, but even if it happened you aren't giving him a 10 year contract. It's an awkward situation but until USC pulls an A&M (with Jimbo) it is what it is for both parties.

    Forgot about this guy. I guess he didn't end up playing much at Auburn?
  16. whereiend
    There are two QBs here: Sanders and Ward. After that, I wonder if someone reaches for Beck even though he has sucked this year, just based on tools. I cannot see someone using a first on Quinn at this point. Looks like a late 2nd or 3rd to me.

    SP+ has us as one of the very worst special teams in the entire country. -2 points per game compared to the average team and -4 points compared to the best special teams. Of course it's primarily a result of Auburn and the punters rather than Bolden, but still, it's been a very disappointing year on that front.

    I think Quinn has an adequate arm for the NFL, but if you think he has standout arm strength at the NFL level then we are just not watching the same player. I'm not saying Quinn lacks tools to play in the NFL, I just don't think those tools are anywhere near overwhelming enough for him to be perceived as an especially high-upside draft prospect.
  19. whereiend
    Quinn does not have huge upside, though. He has a smaller frame, meh athleticism, and average at best (for the NFL) arm strength. The guy is not exactly Anthony Richardson out there. I see him as a third rounder you draft primarily as a backup, ala Colt or Sam. Absolute best case would be that is a Baker Mayfield or Kirk Cousins type starter. More likely is a Gardner Minshew type.

    I've never had a problem with Simms. Dude sucked really bad in one big game against Colorado, and was mediocre in his games against OU, but every great Texas QB has had bad games here and there. Simms in the 2002 season was quite good; our problems that season were really on the OL. Honestly I see Quinn and Simms on the same level. Not at that Colt/VY level, but both are/were good QBs and we have had a hell of a lot worse at the position.

    Moore explanation does not make sense given all the reps Bolden had in the slot. If he was not injured it was a poor choice to sit him, because we were obviously missing his blocking in the screen game.
  22. whereiend
    Great win IMO. Never thought this game in Fayetteville would be easy.
  23. whereiend
    How is that Quinn's fault? Was a perfect pass. Bolden has to catch it.
  24. whereiend
    Doubtful. One downside of the A&M rivalry returning is that we no longer have the guaranteed Thanksgiving weekend home night game.
  25. whereiend
    It's another game that we only lose if Quinn keeps giving them short fields.
