I recall some against TCU and Tech. I’d say his rushing has helped us, wouldn’t you? I’d also say his ability to navigate the pocket and avoid sacks at times has also helped us. He’s stepped up and made throws under pressure a number of times. I didn’t think Card was as quick or good at either of those things and frankly the coaching staff vocalized that in Fall camp.
Neither should be, and both should be the expectation. We're a 8-4/7-5 team until we're not.
People can't wrap their heads around this. It's what this team is until the roster is completely turned over.
Great post! That needs to be its own Spotify playlistI thought this was a thread about Johnny Cash.
My JC playlist is probably a little different than most. It isn’t mostly made up of songs that remind me of my father. He was a huge fan. He played JC around the house and sang along, actually with a similar voice. I am a fan but I listen largely as a memory of my father. Mostly songs that I remember him singing. My playlist, in no particular order, includes....

Wrong again.

well, today, you've had a doozy of a day.Wrong again.
Level 1
Many have been wondering what Urban’s “perfect situation” would look like, and how he would ever accept the HC job at Texas. Assuming health still isn’t a blocker based on what he, the only source that matters, has said, here’s how Texas could becomes the perfect situation. There are no head...
Very true.
Time will tell - I’ll circle back later on whether sticking with Casey now was the correct decision.
Straight line speed in a 40 and field quickness/gameplay speed are not the same. Card looks way more hesitant and unsure, you can’t play fast when you lack confidence. It’s pretty clear Card is not yet the guy as much as some want to keep banging that drum. Casey’s game against OU alone should settle that debate. Not to mention Card had the luxury of playing a team with literally zero film other than Alabama to go off. When Casey is on, he’s the best qb Texas has had since Colt and frankly even with his off games he is still doing better than Sam statistically. I will say that if he’s off I’m all for getting Card in the game rather than what we went on to see last week. We are fortunate to have two capable guys but like Sark has said Casey has earned the right to be the starter
You're speaking my language...I've been saying it since we hired Sark. We have to give them time and cannot expect miracles in year one. The team has holes at multiple positions with little to no depth at almost every position.
I asked it. Sarkisian is sticking with Thompson. Card is still developing.
Ha. Card should be developing on the field In games. At this point there is literally nothing to lose. We’re just trying to get the seniors to a bowl game at this point 😂😂😂
I know, read it. My comment was directed at the long section, by quarter, about the QB’s bad stats. I think the stats are meaningless behind THIS year’s version of the matador offensive line.
I don't understand the thinking of Casey being that much better than Ehlinger at this point. Where is the proof?
OK. We might be talking about different things. I was responding to someone saying Sam and Herman would have won the last 2 games. So in response to that, I was saying that they might have if Sark had been calling plays in the first half of each game. My only point is that I think Sark is a superior play caller to Herman.
If Jimbo had a Casey Thompson on his roster he would’ve pulled Calzada too after Colorado or Arkansas…
Ketch has touched on this a bunch while Sam had his great games and was a true competitor, he left a lot to be desired most notably with his 150 qbr at best. Lots of missed opportunities with throws, holding ball too long, etc. Casey has been more efficient all in all at this point. It is a somewhat small sample size ~8 games, 3 of which were a quarter to 2 quarters (included bowl game here). I like Sam but he killed us at times offensivelyI don't understand the thinking of Casey being that much better than Ehlinger at this point. Where is the proof?
The OU game? That is Casey's best game right? AS far as against decent teams.
Casey throws 5 TDs and no interceptions and 388 yds with 75 yards of it on a lateral pass to Worthy who breaks a tackle and goes 75 yds. he also ran for -24 yards. Very good game right?
Last year 4 OT loss to OU Sam throws for 2 TDS and 2 interceptions for 287 yds. he also runs the ball 23 times for 112 yards for 4 TDs! Of course for some reason they only run Bijan 5 times in that game! His rushing stats also included getting sacked 6 times as well.
So Sam accounts for 6 TDs and a total of 400 yards with 2 interceptions. Doesn't look too far off to me.
Also, I have never seen a QB take the punishment Ehlinger took in that game and just kept getting up and going after it.
Not saying he is better than Casey but there is 0 proof that Casey is that much better.
Oh and Casey also gets the benefit of playing for Sark as his offensive coordinator instead of Herman running him to death.
