The Qb most folks were clamoring for is announced as the starter because of his upside and some act like Garrett Gilbert was announced the starter all over again. Here’s the deal though, I don’t care how bad Ewers may look at times, SARK cannot play musical chairs with his qb’s this year or recruits will jump ship. Ride Ewers like a rented mule come hell or high water just like his NIL contract implies LOL
How do you know it isn’t another Gilbert? This football program should be treated as a precious assett and not a Las Vegas roulett table. Let’s just throw another freshman out there and see what happens. Anyway, I am going to stop my complaining and get behind this team and whoever the coaches put out there.
I think everybody knew Ewers was going to win the job the day he set foot on campus. I watched the open practice last Tuesday as well and there's no way anybody could have came away from that and thought Card was going to win the job. I was really surprised when Ketch came out and said Card was going to be the starter. But I was guessing that maybe it had to do something with the grasping of the offense and he was going to give Ewers a little bit more time to get acclimated.
If Card wasn't head and shoulders above Ewers at this point then going with Ewers was the right decision. You can't just start the older guy because he has a little more experience. Put the best players on the field regardless of age or experience.
I thought you were predicting that Card had a very good chance of being the starter all along even though I kept telling you that NIL said differently lol
Um do I need to refresh your memory where you continuously chastised me for telling you Ewers would be your starter? Cmon dude admit it, you were wrong and NIL was right. And in case you have forgotten, Arch is your next starter come hell or high water, for better or worse, after his redshirt year
Show me where I specifically said Card will be the starter. You're twisting what I said. I said NIL wouldn't decide who's the starter, which it didn't. Ewers won the job because he's the better QB with more upside. Nothing to do with NIL. Like I said you have a comprehension problem
….and you told all of us how good of a qb Card is….let’s not re-write history my friend. NIL is the undisputed champ here, you should just move on before I’m forced to go pull up your exact quotes lol
Card is a good QB. But if you think Ewers was named the starter because of NIL then I got some ocean front property in Montana to sell you....
Well, that was the one argument that made the most sense to me. I saw a youtube episode of Ketch, Anwar, Suchomel and Dunlap. I think Ketch basically said the same thing of being in the system a year, his command of the offense should be more distinguishable. Nonetheless, it is just a difference of opinion or school of thought at this point. I still subscribe to all things being equal, go with the mature and more experienced upperclassman.
I just didn't see anything in that open practice Tuesday night that said to me that Card should be the starter. I have been a big Card fan, but when you watch Ewers throw the ball it's just obvious he's more naturally gifted than Card is.
I’m not insinuating that. I wouldn’t think so. The way the news came out about Ewers being named starter was weird but imo if Sark was ok with Card he wouldn’t have gone after Ewers. It is however, my contention that when Ewers was pursued, I think with NIL being influential, I believe Ewers was possibly told the starting job was his to lose.
