This. Colt had an awesome, record setting RS Fr year before his sophomore slump (mainly interceptions), but I never doubted how good he could be after he tore it up his RS Fr year. Very few did. In four years starting he had 3 great years and one good year.
Sam had a couple of good games and a couple of awful ones. Like Shane last year and unlike Colt, Sam was a true fish, but he has shown very little of what Colt showed early.
Sure hope Shane doesn't transfer, but he deserved a shot in that miserable performance of a so called game, when we had to pass, and I won't blame him if he does leave.
Sticking with Sam thru that horror probably told Shane all he needed to know. Maybe Mensa can figure out a way to make him stay, or hope one of the incoming Fr QBs overcome the freshman QB odds and nails it.
Personally and without a doubt I'll take and Gilbert and Mattox over Beck and Warehime any day of the week (and twice on proverbial Sunday.
3 and 2. That call should haunt Beck and Herman for years, and Sam won't ever forget his 3rd grade decision and execution on that horrendous pick when we were still in a good place to win the game.
I don't doubt that Herman blew it with retaining Shane for next year, when it was painfully obvious to most that Herman/Beck needed to sit Sam's ass down & give Shane a shot. "So that's how its gonna be is it? Got it!" says Shane.
Sam throwing that interception at the end was truly mind-boggling. How many of us sat thee in stunned silence. Felt like an episode right out of "Twilight Zone."
