Rattler ran off because he was a fvcking dueshebag. Nobody liked him. He was a prima Donna.
Ewers has been named starting QB
- Thread starter Texasguy115
- Start date
I'd like to see Malik play, other than mop up duty. But I hope he agrees w your statement and hangs around!🤘
Nil will dictate who plays brother.
I think some of that is from him being thrown into the fire before he was ready. That Arkansas game ripped any confidence he had right away. Having control comes with having confidence in yourself first.
People talk about the ISU and the AR games. But what sealed the deal for me was the KS game. It took him less than 3 minutes to put us in a hole we couldn't get out of.
Inexcusable especially at TX.
Did you give up on VY after he got shut out against OU in his second year?
No because he went on the road and beat Arkansas that year, as well as win every other game the rest of his career.
Nope, the Arkansas game was his sophomore year which would have been his 3rd season since he was a redshirt. I meant second year of playing, and 3rd year overall. On top of that Arkansas was not very good then.
Vince struggled quite a bit throwing the ball early in his career. He just had that elite running ability and a very good defense to cover up some of his deficiencies. My point is all young QBs have growing pains.
By 2nd year I thought you meant 2nd year actually playing... My apologies. Regardless o trust card as much as I trust Ewers. Tied. So I give it to the better upside player.
From what I hear, the difference likely was RedZone offense. Ewers led to more scores while Cards turn didn't turn out as well.
Also I think that even if Ewers only knows half the playbook, he excelled in those plays. Sark can play that 50% pretty hard while adding to it over the course of a season.
Card is good at running a short range spread but we are going to primarily RPO which plays to Ewers strength. He supposedly is a fairly accurate deep threat which should keep defenses from selling out on Bijon's contract year. Injuries aside, BR is playing to get paid and Ewers running the RPO should thin out his money lanes unlike last yr.

Ok but VY showed flashes of brilliance early on and went 11-1 his redshirt sophomore year. Card looked like garbage in pretty much every single he’s played so far. There’s basically no comparison at all between the two.
We are going to run the ball. It will be Ewers arm that opens up the box. Xavier and Brennan will be ripping the top off the defenses.
I think our defense will be improved. It's going be a fun year win or lose.

if brennan last all year..dude is SMALLLL... i think Cain and Omere are going to big contributors this year..and i think we will see a tight end FINALLY in a Texas offense. Sanders will be a All big 12 conference player.
VY’s defense only gave up more than 20 points in 3 of his 12 games that year. They would have won 10 games with Chance Mock that year.
I’m not comparing the 2. I’m not even saying Card will be great. Just simply stating that even the great ones weren’t great right off the bat. It takes time for these QBs to develop. Hell just look at guys like Buchele, Gilbert, and Rising that weren’t great while they were here. They transferred out and all 3 will end up being drafted or were already drafted. Well Buchele was undrafted but he’s likely going to be the backup in KC this year.
The series is something like 18-14 since 1990. Hasn’t been that lopsided if you look at it that way.
TEs will make or break us this year. Ewers weak point is the quick drop short passes. Due to him not knowing the playbook by heart just yet, his reads can be off. This is where a 3rd & 6+ can get us in trouble.
With these TEs, we can keep the same personnel on the field so the defense can't substitute in an exotic package. Flex them boys to 4 wide in a hurry, dink & dunk 1st downs.
Prayers sent so the injury gods are kind to us this year. We've been cursed long enough.
I'm cautiously optimistic about J. Sanders at TE. He has all-world potential.
sanders will be ewers best friend...once we see defenses have to key in on Bijan , the pass game will open up. 3&6 will be a 15 yard gain with a out route by sanders...kid has shown the most progress this camp than anyone on the team..he's the real deal.
I was always amazed at the arm Simms had. Saw him live a few times, once in pregame he was warming up very close to my seats and the velocity he had on the ball was pretty impressive
Sanders is going to be a special player. His athletic ability is off the charts.
I feel the same towards out entire team to be honest. Strangely enough, I'm most concerned about our kicking game now.
Not really fair to "this year's" Card. He's a year older and a year wiser. That has to account for something.
I think we saw enough of him last year to know that he’s lacking that “it” factor. Another year probably doesn’t change much. Ewers may or may not have “it” but I’d rather take a chance with him than Card at this point.
