One more thing to consider is yes he committed knowing Ewers was coming but that was before Arch was knighted.

Man I’m so glad a sooner knows what’s happening and best for our Longhorn team. Precious.
I couldn’t tell you one qb on blowu’s team and could care less.
I kid, I kid….sort of.
Hey don’t shoot the messenger my friend. Trust me, I hate it as much as anyone but this damn NIL and transfer portal are changing the game we all love. Seems to me teams are going to have to space their highly ranked qbs out every 2 years or so, commit to paying them NIL to make them stay and then hope they pan out as starters. From there you just hope the backups you have are sufficient if injury occurs. I just don’t know how a team like Bama is going to keep their qb logjam from transferring out?

We have a Samoan southpaw we’re hoping works out after the transfer portal and NIL took our top 2 qbs. I’m kind of speaking from experience as a fan. From my perspective I can see the southpaw play 2 years and then Jackson Arnold take over as a redshirt freshman. He runs a system similar to Lebby’s at his hs. I think Evers our qb we took in last years class when Venables took over is odd man out as a starter. Now that’s based on the southpaw playing 2 years. If he wins the Heisman this year and leaves then Booty or Evers will be the guy for a year imo.
Heisman? You serious Clarke? Good lord your daddy Lincoln spoiled you. Rude awakening incoming.
Bell, is Dillon mobile at all? I ask because in recent years OU and its success has relied heavily on the legs of a mobile QB to make off schedule plays. If he is not, I don't see it working out very well.
He knew there was a possibility of Arch coming to Texas. He's stayed committed to Texas to a long time for a reason. He likes the coach. Sometimes that goes a long ways.
He's not mobile at all from what I have seen from him. He's really small in size as well. Like 5'8 and 185 pounds.
Well, at least he’s a foot taller than Cryler Murray.
yeah he's taller than 5'8" but I think we've all learned height doesn't make a whole lot of difference at the college level. I remember vividly on this board being told how Mayfield and Murray won't be successful in college, "they won't be able to see over their Oline" lol. Didn't seem to cause too many problems for them, especially with dedicated throwing lanes. Roster says 5'11" 204lbs

Nobody said he would win the Heisman for sure this year, I said if he did, then it would obviously change his draft status etc.
The number of suicides in mobilhoma this year is gonna be yuge. BV is a clown. They ran him off once, it's going to happen again.
And what is your assessment of Ewers from a running standpoint? LOL Guarantee Gabriel is more mobile than he is. May want to have him work on that speed before the 2nd weekend of CFB, I hear Will Anderson is nasty
I think you’re gonna be surprised at how quick you miss Lincoln, dearly.
We all thought Muschamp would be a great head coach as well. Didn’t work out. Keep drinking the kool-aid, though.

I think Lebby will do a good job, he's had a productive offense. Venables has had a pretty good defense.
Wait. You said Card would start the first 2 games. How's his speed compared to Dillon's?
About the same probably? I think Ewers is your starter I just wasn't sure if Sark would run him out there for the Bama wolves or wait until the 3rd game having not really played much. The way it sounds like it's playing out is Ewers may be the starter from the 1st game forward? Which tells me if he's not totally picking up the offense then Sark will adjust the offense for him. I guess the scrimmages will tell more. Here's the issue, with the raid on the Trump compound garnering my attention I haven't had as much time as I would like breaking down game film. If Biden would act right I could give better FB insightWait. You said Card would start the first 2 games. How's his speed compared to Dillon's?

Sark put freshman Card out on the road at Arkansas. Sure that's not bama but I don't think sark is worried about "throwing him to the wolves."
I like Ewers, think he has a heck of an arm, also like those hair highlights. I read somewhere he had grown out a beard and highlighted it too? Not sure if true but if so we may have a Boz Lite on our hands without all the accolades though.
Sounds like the boosters should have put a mandatory study clause in Ewers NIL package?
He doesn't have Saban to lean on anymore. His mistakes can mount pretty quickly and make him think twice, since it is all on him as the HC. I think trotting a freshman out there will weigh heavily on him (as it should).
Not if you're smart enough to play to your freshman. If he's got the Big play factor then play to his strengths. Lots of Rpo heavy run game and play action. 2 reads only. Until he gets it between the ears.
Ha well I think he’s older than 18 but they are both paid athletes, no excuses for not being prepared
He just turned 19 a few months ago. This should be his true freshman year but he graduated high school a year early.
Hell even Charlie Strong. He had a great resume before he got to Texas.
We have no other choice than to play a freshman be it Ewers or Murphy. Card is not going to cut it. People talk about AR or ISU but he put us in a hole against KS that we couldn't get out of. I'll be surprised if Murphy isn't backup by the first game.
Card’s last game of the year in West Virginia he played pretty damn good. Now he might not be good enough to cut it but he played nowhere near enough to truly say he can’t cut it. It’s crazy how everyone forgets how much VY and Colt struggled when they were young. They just always had elite defenses to cover up their deficiencies. Colt threw like 20 interceptions as a sophomore and had some fumbles lost as well. VY got shutout his sophomore year against OU.
Every Head coach was a coordinator at one time. You’re using a very small sample size lol.
Well, did you think Mack was a great HC, you like what you’re seeing with Sark? Both were coordinators. I think it’s ok for OU fans to be hopeful, for each Muschamp and Strong there’s a Brown and Stoops, Hall of Fame coaches btw
The list of failed coordinators turned head coaches is far greater than the ones with success.
