impossible to define without sounding like a homer. Hows RS FR Colt McCoy's 2006 season at least from the QB position sounds for a ceiling? And he wasn't nearly as heralded coming out of HS but had the same charisma that we hear Heard has.
Ketch's 10 Thoughts From The Weekend
- Thread starter Ketchum
- Start date
29 TDs and 10 INTs I think it was? Great numbers for a first year starter but not nearly what JT Barrett put up in his first year, Manziel, or Winston recently, and very comparable to what Bridgewater put up for Strong and Watson in his 2nd season in their system. And I believe we were 9-3 that year after Colt went down against KSU and A&M, would hope to be around there record-wise next season as well.
It is a lot easier for a pretty good QB to look "great" when he has a strong running game.

Im not sure why you've latched on to Swoopes so strongly, but thats your opinion I guess

Well Swoopes is no nowhere near "pretty good" right now, so if a strong running game takes him from bad to average, there's still a huge problem.
I keep telling you dudes that Gentry is better than Swoopes right now. He will solve our quarterback issues.

If haven't latched on to Swoopes anymore than you've latched on to Heard. I'll roll with whoever the coaches choose. I'm not going to claim that a QB who hasn't played a down is going to come in and close to Heisman level. That's you.

Ketch, I appreciate you including The War On Drugs in your list of top songs of the year for indie. I'll even venture to say that their album is in my top four rock/alternative albums of the year, rounded out with Lazeretto, Hozier and Ryan Adams. Among your 10 Things, the last topic always makes me read through your entire column each week.

I haven't latched on to Heard so much as Ive confirmed Swoopes isn't the guy and want to see the next guy up. You started endless threads this season touting Swoopes' stats, leading to my assumption that you've basically dug in at this point and think he's a decent player.
My belief that Heard will be the starter has less to do with Heard than it does with Swoopes, who has been awful all year, with his last game likely being his worst as a starter (not encouraging). The only times this season he had even a little bit of what could be called success were against some of the worst passing defenses in the country.
I haven't see you mention anything about Gentry. Why not go with the guy who hasn't been beaten out by the guy you think is terrible?

We saw what going from inferior competition to D1 looks like this year, and it wasn't good. Redshirts are important, and I agree with the coaches for taking that route this season.
Who is this Tim Irwin guy you and a few posters keep talking about? Is he related to Roland Jones?

... The play Earl Thomas made to save a Rams touchdown at the goal line will be played at is induction ceremony in Canton one day.
Another great play made by a member of DBU!
Looks alot like the play AJ Williams had vs Jacksonville last year on Denard Robinson -

So tired of the "Swoopes experiment is over" people.
The dude shouldn't have been playing this year. He had ups and downs. He did a decent job of controlling turnovers until the last game, where admittedly, he imploded.
I know nothing of Swoopes personally, but if he can get his mind right and apply the lessons he's learned this year, and work like a madman to improve, I think the guy can be a player that will make most folks eat their words. There is talent in that young man. If he has the mental toughness, I think he can be a +player at QB for our beloved Horns.
At worst, he'll be an experienced backup who is capable of making all the throws on any given play.

Too soon to lose faith in the unknown. Raises too many other questions that we aren't ready to answer right now
In his first 12 games Moss established himself as an absolute pure freak that had never been seen at the position. Beckham has been great. He hasn't been as great as Moss. Honestly not s sure how a Cowboys fan makes that statement given Moss' 12th game was his thanksgiving massacre of Dallas.
I assume that the news from today that Drew Richmond will be visiting on 1/30 is either (a) nothing you consider too serious, or (2) news that came after your rankings for OOS prospects in the LSR. Which is it and would he be #1 or #2 in your rankings?
I thought you and others thought Gentry is underrated and borderline 5*. Being 16 in the LSR sure doesn't show that and puts him well below Heard by your estimations from last year. This would seem to contradict the tone that some feel regarding your opinion of Heard or your opinion of Heard has dropped based on feedback from his performance in practices this season. Do you feel that Gentry is better than Heard? Is your confidence in rating Heard as a high 4* recruit waning?
