Ketch's 10 Thoughts From the Weekend (Ignore my narcissism for a moment...)

[JRock Hookem]

So @Ketchum, do you think you'll be able to objectively evaluate Ewers over the next year and a half and possibly move him up your rankings? Or are you going to cling to your current ranking to be different, regardless of what the film says (like you admitted to doing with Luck and Griffin)?

 

[ThrowittoRoy]

You're so cute. Like a Gremlin.

I think you mean Gizmo

 

[bhuey20]

True, but quarterbacks matter more than OLs and DLs. It's the most important position in team sports at the college level.

Have you ever broken down the offensive lines by recruiting rankings that played in front of VY, Colt, and Sam?

Like I said in another thread- over time Ketch catches up and he will be in his Top 3, maybe even Number 1 by the time he has to officially grade the kid for the history books. Relax folks.

I've always wanted to watch Ray Donovan. This tips the scales for me to do so.

You'll love it!

 

[OldBlood]

Some of those qb's were so overrated it isn't funny. Case McCoy the #24 qb in the country, Connor Wood #3, Heard #6 and others too were way overrated.

Yeah but Case whipped aggy's ass in what I hope is the last time we play them.

 

[Ketchum]

Man, I'd totally forgotten how highly ranked nationally Mock was.

Honestly, me too.

 

[Ketchum]

His character eventually jumped the shark.

Literally and figuratively.

Yes, but only after he reached the mountaintop as a character.

 

[Ketchum]

It blows my mind that aside from GG, we weren’t cherry picking elite QBs nationally. Damn shame.

It's amazing. One Top 50 national prospect in almost two decades.

 

[Ketchum]

Ash is my favorite QB since Colt. I can't wait to see Card and Milroe I just hope they have some good OL. We will always have good WR/DB need Lineman. Why do we have so many top QB signed and no OL?

Because this staff is better at recruiting quarterbacks than offensive linemen.

 

[Ketchum]

Will they end up better than Sam?

I think both are more talented, but that doesn't answer you question, I suppose.

 

[Ketchum]

Larry was the man. Dude totally had orgies.

All three of them had orgies. Believe that.

 

[Ketchum]

Chrissy is mine. And Janet.

Don't shit where you eat.

 

[drunk randoke]

All three of them had orgies. Believe that.

@Ketchum can you link me to the 2020 lsr?

So many streaming services, but no Fall Guy

I have the entire collection on DVD if you need to borrow it. I went on a binge about 10 years ago while in North Carolina for a few weeks.

 

[Ketchum]

Some of those qb's were so overrated it isn't funny. Case McCoy the #24 qb in the country, Connor Wood #3, Heard #6 and others too were way overrated.

I'd say Case lives up to his ranking.

 

[Ketchum]

It’s probably not an accurate memory but... I seem to remember Simms throwing it to an underneath linebacker at least once a game. Right or wrong that’s how I remember him at Texas.

Every other game.

 

[Ketchum]

But if you put a below-average qb behind a great oline you probably win more than a great qb behind a below-average oline. The great qb gets hurt behind the bad line. When we had Simms, Vince and the first few years with Colt our oline talent was stellar. The last year Colt played his ass off behind an average to below-average oline. Look how he got ragdolled in the big12 championship against Nebraska. I have never heard it mentioned, but I believe the injury in the Alabama game was probably something that was already damaged or lingering from the beating he took in the Nebraska game. Texas NEEDS coach Hand to get the most out of the talent he has on the roster and develop Angilau, Hookfin, Tyler Johnson, and all the high ranking freshman we have coming in. Get these guys drafted so we can recruit the top linemen in the state every year so that we can start to put NFL caliber offensive lines on the field.

I disagree. A great quarterback is the tide that lifts all boards.

 

[Ketchum]

Don’t sprain your shoulder with that back patting Oh Pee....

por que?

 

[Ketchum]

Gotcha, I missed that. In that case, I would go with Vic Mackey from The Shield. I know dirty cops are taboo right now, but anyone who presses a child rapists' face into an electric griddle like a grilled cheese sandwich is a badass by any definition.

I've never seen the show. That felt like a prerequisite for putting him on the list.

 

[Ketchum]

Whatabout someone from E company
Negan was crazy strong as was reedus’s Daryl character
And BA Barrackas from the A team
Amos from the expanse is certifiable
NoHo Hank and Barry are pretty strong
Optimus Prime was the OG badass, with HeMan
Dexter was a force until his writers made him fall in love with his sister
Pesky Blinders Thomas?
Ragnar from Vikings

You almost put together an entire top 10!

he was a five star when the first rankings came out

Perfect example of why caution is sometimes needed.

I always try to remain objective.

I change my thoughts on kids all the time.

He's just a kid and his body hasn't developed fully.

Let me break it down to you lin pictures.

This is the body of a 17-year old Jalen Milroe

I haven't seen a great recent photo of Ewers, but here he is in pads last season.

He's just not quite there from a physical standpoint IMO. That's my only hold up on five-star status and it's about timing more than anything. It's hard after all these years of making mistakes to give a five-star ranking to a quarterback unless he has special physical make-up.

My original evaluation of Ewers is that he's still at the early stages of his physical evolution. It wasn't meant as an insult. I think when I did the first LSR rankings, I ranked players that were better physical specimens ahead of him in a few cases.

 

[Ketchum]

I think you mean Gizmo

I didn't. In meant Stripe.

 

[Ketchum]

Have you ever broken down the offensive lines by recruiting rankings that played in front of VY, Colt, and Sam?

sure

 

[Ketchum]

If he's THAT dude, you are almost certainly right.

 

[Ketchum]

 

[sodiumacetate]

I don't believe he was officially a five-star.

It's amazing. One Top 50 national prospect in almost two decades.

Would you call it hubris on the part of Mack and GD? They had two different types of QB they could sell as having produced.
