(Sell) Aren't you doing the same thing to Card right now that you are frustrated with others doing to Ewers? Frankly, you're looking at the Ewers situation through a vacuum if you're only looking at the Kansas game, which he played with training wheels on. It's been a while since he's played at a high level. Meanwhile, Card has only been better this season in terms of efficiency rating by 30 points. He's no savior, but he's played better this season. That's not a subjective opinion. That's math.
(Buy) One of the most important aspects of this season was his ability to develop the quarterback position to the point that it was an absolute strength going into next season, no questions asked. It's the second year in a row it hasn't happened.
@Ketchum You don't find your two B/S answers above just a bit contradictory? You're saying that Sark developed Card into a much more efficient QB compared to last year, but SS somehow missed completely on his development of Ewers over the limited time he had with him over the spring and summer? During Q1 of the Bama game before he was injured, Ewers looked to be much improved from the spring game in his decision-making and touch on his downfield passes, and he shined again in his return from injury in the Cotton Bowl vs OU.
No doubt QE has somehow regressed terribly as the season has worn on, but improvement in his game was evident at the first part of the season. However, he seems to be shellshocked and increasingly seeing ghosts over the past several weeks, resulting in poor footwork and stunningly bad accuracy.
