I didn't expect that.
Ketch's 10 Thoughts From The Weekend: 24 Hours Later...
- Thread starter Ketchum
- Start date
Texas was not coming back from 16-0. That game was over, but I'd still like to have seen Thompson given the chance.
Lets play a game. Assume Urban discovers the NFL is not for him. Sark goes 8-4 this season and 9-3 in 2022. December 2022 Urban calls Texas and says I want the job... What does Texas do?
Start Casey. He's our best quarterback.
That stat blew my mind.
I literally said “Wtf?” out loud when I read that and almost woke up my baby boy.
No bueno amigo.
They already tried to eat her alive after Wimbledon. Now they are kissing her ass. They'll turn on her when it gets boring to champion her.
I really like Card for the future but Casey needs to start.
I don't expect Urban to call Texas and do that.
I am just so numb now. I used let loss like this ruin my whole Sunday. Now I just spend more time with my kids and not open website. This is first time since last night I opened OB. It is disappointing but no reason to fuss about it.
Excellent use of an AFTV clip.
I laughed, then cried because we have way too much in common with Arsenal.

It means he was woefully wrong about the single biggest decision he's had to make as head coach thus far. It's a criminal indictment, especially since he gave some of Thompson's reps during August to Wright.
You might turn out to be right and I could be wrong.
Whether he admits it or not, our eyes saw what they saw. Continuing with Card if there isn’t dramatic improvement and we experience another loss like say TCU that is pinned partially on QB play/offensive lack of productivity will be a catastrophic blow to Sark’s overall future here. Tom’s biggest failure was his unwillingness to make changes when he thought he was right. Play them both or switch whoever is the hot hand I don’t give a damn as long as we move the ball. Last night can’t happen again. I’d prefer to have a guy we stick with but if one guy isn’t getting it done, put the other one in before it’s too late. Right now Casey has earned the starter reps and he should keep it til he plays poorly.
Not based off of the previous six months prior to last night, no?
Don't you have to factor in who's the best QB given the disastrous OL situation?
If you have a bad OL you really need a QB who's a legit running threat. Whoever starts at QB will be running for their life most games.
Again, I wish we had seen Thompson at the start of the third quarter. It would have made for a more apples to apples conversation.
Casey was 5 of 8 for 122 quarterback rating and his first touchdown drive was aided by 30 penalty yards.
I'd like to have seen a much larger sample size.
By saying this, you are even including Gilbert as a “hit.” He is one of the biggest busts in Longhorn history, and you’re including him as a good call because he has somehow managed to have a long, but terrible NFL run.
True, but the fact that it’s still a question says to give Casey a shot.
I thought Ash was going to be a great QB as he had both accuracy and arm strength. His sophomore season he completed 67.3% of his passes for 19 TDs against 8 INT. He averaged 8.6 yards per attempt and had a passing efficiency rating of 153.3. To put that in context, Colt’s career average was a rating of 155, and Sam’s was 148. There is no telling how good Ash might have been if healthy or playing on a better team.
Take him out.
It doesn't change the numbers significantly at all.
He was still an NFL drafted quarterback that has earned his pension in the league.
Buy or sell the Texas coaches know what an abomination the Arkansas game was and understand the gravity of the situation?
In 9 out of 10 possessions he has been given, he has led the team down for a score. 7 of those were touchdowns. In the one possession that wasn’t a score, Sark called 4 consequetive hand-off running plays, giving Casey exactly 0 chance to affect the drive. He is essentially perfect in a sample size of 10 possessions. Even your darling quarterback rating shows him to be superior. What else can he do? I just can’t understand not accepting the reality and facts staring you in the face. Saving face is not going to win games.
B/S-The cat got a louder ovation than the Miami football team!
B/S Bonus-If Manny Diaz’s defense was in charge of catching that cat, they would have wiffed!

I haven’t witnessed practice but what I saw last night was pretty telling how TCU could go if we don’t have a qb who is ready for that kind of pressure and defense. This qb battle may be fluid throughout the season and we just ride the hot hand. Card missed way too many opportunities to still be considered the starter when Casey came in competed at a high level, moved the ball, and made some pretty badass runs to score. Perhaps he is named starter and we see one of his practice type performances but he looks like when the lights come on he elevates his game.
