All 3 riding pine and had to transfer out for playing time. Sorry if that derails your narrative Cinderella, but it is what it is. Riley is THE QB WHISPERER.
Dirt Burglars Begin Their Season...

Baker Mayfield started as a True Freshman Walk-on at a place know for their QB stats and had a QB rating of 127.
Kyler Murray was a true freshman playing behind another 5 star rated QB and had a QB rating of 109.
How you could call either of them pedestrian is kind of hard to fathom.
Did they both benefit from Riley's tutelage? Of course. Were they pedestrian? Of course not. Do they both have dad's that are undeniably world-class ass hats? Beyond a shadow of a doubt.
Let's wait until you guys play a team that fields a defense before we engrave Hurts Heisman.
BAKER MAYFIELD WAS THE STARTER AT TECH AND GOT HURT.
KYLER MURRAY WAS A TRUE FRESHMAN.
YOU ARE AN IDIOT.
This is a convo for in person but lots. Riley is a step ahead. His foresight and imagination are incredible. And it pisses me of, lol
Hurts looked pretty dangerous, but his first real test won't be until the 2nd Saturday in October.
If he drops 350/100 and four or five total TDs on Orlando's defense, then we can start talking about the Heisman.

Good chess match between Orlando and Riley.
Balance wins championships. Texas is a balanced team that is raising the bar on O and D. Our issue is RB. If Sam has to run the ball a lot against L$U, our qb may be out for a while. He ran too much against La Tech. We have done a poor job at recruiting and retaining rb's.
Derrian Brown is not on the coaching staff but the mass exodus of rb's is.

Mayfield was a 2 time walk on and pine rider.
Murray was benched. Both came to OU got schooled by the QB Whisperer. Both won the Heisman and were the 1st pick taken in their respective drafts. Any other questions?
Why wait? I’d just as soon give it to him next week in case he looks vulnerable against Texas lol. I agree, those Texas blitzes will be a test for our Oline and Hurts
It’s just so much easier to score points in the modern game.
Riley has a Banyan tree for an offensive brain. There are plays off of plays off of plays of of plays. Honestly he should be in the NFL
Well when responding to someones horrible take I like to have some numbers to back it up.
The defense looked above average. They had some glimpses of being really good and had some not so hot moments.
Compared to last year they looked quite a bit better and did so against one of the better offenses they will see this year.

It speaks well of you that you give credit where credit is due, even to a foe.

They looked better, but honestly man, it's still too early to tell.
We get the couch burners in a couple of weeks. We'll need our d line to get pressure on Bowman, or he's going to really test our secondary. I'd rather see him on his ass than to see if Motley can cover their WRs for more than a couple of seconds.
Hurts and OU really didn't give us any indication of how their season will go. OU and UH are among the two worst defenses in all of CFB so it's very difficult to project OU off of that one game. The reason Hurts was benched at Bama was his inability to handle pressure. He threw more picks and improvised a little too much for Saban's liking. It'll be interesting to see how he handles the pressure that UT's defense will undoubtedly bring and will also keep him guessing. Hurts hasn't shown thus far in his career to be an NFL caliber QB who can make all the throws and stand in the pocket making the right reads.
It was the first game. I dont think we got all that much information about many teams so far. aTm, Texas,OU, LSU....hell, most teams started against supposedly inferior competition......yeah....everyone in line for the playoffs so far. Time will tell how each of us look after getting punched in the mouth. I like to think that we will improve each week, but our RB situation is beginning to be scary. Those other guys.....I dont have the time or inclination to worry about them.
Ok....we are a little banged up right now, but as Bill Parcels said...." I am sure of 2 things....we are going to play Saturday, and no one is gonna feel sorry for us"...

They were much more aggressive. Tackling needs work obviously. And I’m not sure what to think of 10 and 32. They seem average to below average. I’ve been wrong many times before though
Appreciate it. I’m a coach, have been for a long time so I can appreciate the elite when I feel I see them. That doesn’t mean I like you turd lickers though haha
Hurts was not benched for his "inability to handle pressure." He was in his second NC game (lost the first to Clemson in the last second) and Ga. was all over him so Saban went with Tua and the Tide pulled it out. He played well as a back up last year. Now not the back up. Will see how he stacks up against Sam in a few weeks.
Now for some context. Mayfield at tech was a 64% passer, 12 td 9 int for the season. Against the big 12? 60%, 5 td and 8 int. That's pedestrian by any standard, much his by his standard. Shall I go and quote some of the things you guys had to say about his future at OU after his transfer?
Context time. His best game all year was against s. carolina in which he had 2 touchdowns. He had 379 total yards, then got his shit pushed in against auburn the next week. For some additional context, he averaged 353 per game at OU. He was a 59% passer, 5 td, 7 int. You just cant fathom how that's pedestrian?
Mayfield From a 60% passer and 127 rating --- > 70% passing and setting a national record for qb rating and efficiency. Who saw that coming?
Murray from a 59% passer and 109 rating ---> 70% passing and beating Mayfield's national record. Wasn't there supposed to be some big drop off?
I wouldnt bet on him winning the heisman but it looks like he could take player of the year in the big 12. I'd say just get used to seeing insane quarterbacking at OU until Riley decides to finally leave one day.
It's not pedestrian when you take into consideration that they were both true Freshman and neither played on teams that were nearly as talented as OU's.
Did they both benefit greatly from Riley's tutelage? Obviously. Is Riley an offensive genius? Most definitely. Can he elevate the play of his QB's? Is that even debatable, at this point? Will Hurts have a much better year playing in OU's system? Without a doubt.
Just quit trying to make it sound like Baker Mayfield and Kyler Murray were 2 scrubs that Riley found walking down the street with no possible future in football. That's a lie and you guys know it.
Mayfield had to walk on twice, it doesn’t really get any more low than that, really. From 2 time walk on to 1st rd draft pick is why top qb’s are lining up for The QB Whisperer. Deej you should quit while you are behind you’re stating to sound as delusional as @q1w2e3 regarding Riley and OU qb’s

haha. no problem man. In fact, you guys are the perfect, perfect arch-rival. I would not choose any other team in America, although you tea sips might choose a different team with a better rep than OU.
And a Coach? I've often wondered how the game looked to coaches, and guys that played at the college level or above. Slower probably. Stuff jumps out at you. Good luck to your team (that you coach).
He walked on the second time because he was trying to get around the transfer rule. He would have gotten a scholarship from any number of schools after his Freshman season. Of course, you know this. You just like being obtuse.
