This again. Ketch, just because you want to make blanket statements that we are a part of some "group" doesn't change anything as it applies to Jerrod Heard being a QB ready enough to play football at Texas.
This is what you originally said: "Ketch is missing the boat on Heard. Perhaps he needed the redshirt, but he is damn talented & that has not changed, he is damn sure mobile & that hasn't changed, can damn sure throw the ball & that hasn't changed, is a damn good leader & that hasn't changed,......so he is damned sure ready to hit the field. The waiting game has been way too damn long & it's time for him to roll! Get ready to be surprised Ketch. "
You seem to be indicating that I am sleeping on Heard, as if I didn't rank him as a top 10 prospect last February and as if I am not acutely aware of is skill-set (ie.. "he is damn sure mobile")
Check out what his actual coordinator and quarterback coach had to say about the topic.
"He wasn't ready this year. He's still got to develop, too. We've got what we got. We haven't had a chance to put our mark on it yet. We've got to do that."

1) All the references of poor performance in practice (which you never tag a legitimate name too for the

field this past year, especially after it may have been a top priority to redshirt him.
I have sources throughout the program and we talk to people that see practices, yet you would seem to suggest that we don't have any sources who are honest (or any sources at all) or that there is an actual plan of diversion on this subject.
"smokescreen"

2) Shawn Watson has taken a two time state champion QB with tremendous talent & has not developed
the kid enough to have him ready.....and has actually caused him to regress some. And, that could
be, if all we have to go by is what Watson has shown us with his offense this past year, which is not
much.
The kid has been in the program for five months.
FIVE.
BTW, how on earth would you know that he has caused him to regress?

Again, schools all over the country have their backups ready to play....look no further than Ohio State. If we can't get a kid as talented as Jerrod Heard as a viable option to what we saw at the QB position this past year, especially the last two games, we have a serious problem with our QB coach, Mr. Watson.

None of the kids that played at Ohio State this year were backups. All had at least a year of experience.
You really seem a little irrational on this subject to say the least.
