Ketch's 10 Thoughts From the Weekend (Players I'd stand on a small mound of dirt for...)
- Thread starter Ketchum
- Start date
Are you saying Hudson Card might be better than even Garrett Gilbert?
I liked Simms. I'd pick him over Major...but 58.7% passing doesn't make him incredible. Arm talent doesn't just mean the ability to throw the ball far, it means accuracy, as well. McNabb, in college, would have won a title on that Clemson team. Conversely, Watson wouldn't have won a title on McNabb's Syracuse team. Definitely not 2 for 2.
Being the guy is about having the mentality, too. Not sure I see anything out of Eagles that suggest to me he is going to outplay a healthy Collin Johnson, who had a strong junior season. But I hope he does.
Tap the break with the enthusiasm or else we are going to be really disappointed when the season is cancelled. I’m not letting myself get past 50/50 on the season, let alone some of the giddiness (11 wins etc) on OB recently.
Also, how are Jordan and Brad Pitt not on the cool dude list?

Give me Jamison over every DB you listed. How can you watch last season and not name that dude? Alpha, baller.
Michael Jackson a cool dude? Yikes. Other things come to my mind about him.
Is there a date when practice starts?

Adam Dunn never played a down at Texas, so we really have zero idea how he spun it, or if he was accurate. I believe he knew je would not play over Applewhite, plus the Reds opened up the bank vault for him. I admit it may be early to place Card anywhere as he has yet to play a down, either. I'd take Colt's accuracy over Simms arm strength any day of the week.
Dunn at QB probably would’ve turned out like Jeff George. An absolute laser arm, but that doesn’t mean it would translate to wins.
I’m an old and went to school when students could go watch spring practice. Dunn had a cannon
The Texas defensive line has done nothing to warrant receiving the benefit of the doubt at this point IMO.
Both were on it at various stages today. Tough cuts. I had to get Swayze on the list.
No one had a better fast ball than Dunn, but Card has a much more capable grasp of his weapon than either of those two did at the same stage IMO.
Well, then arm talent is a crappy guage. If that is your standard, Rick McKivor could throw the ball further,cand harder, than most of our QBs left handed.
I would think that’s included in the equation. Arm talent encompasses accuracy, velocity, and the ability to make throws at awkward angles.
No offense, but just because you don't have any idea, it doesn't mean that some of us don't or didn't.
