just as he has stated several times that shane was 5-7 like it was all on him.
Ketch's 10 Thoughts From the Weekend (What the UT QB situation really looks like...)
- Thread starter Ketchum
- Start date
But you refuse to compare teammates from Bama and Texas. The two players played in the exact same situations all year long. Same defense, same offensive line, same coaching, same scoring conferences.
Wow, nobody beats a dead horse like us!
Ketch wrote a pretty damn good piece and I thought the QB rating magical number of 140 was great. But maybe we're putting too much responsibility on Shane for posting lower QBR's later in the season. It's possible, a QBR rating has more to do with the passing attack, than just the QB. For instance, if you've got a clown calling the offensive plays, the QBR rating will suffer. If your heralded receivers drop very timely 3rd down passes that hit them in the hands, your QBR will suffer. If your QB is playing undersized, and can't take a D1 punishment because there's no other QB on the roster that gives your team the slightest chance of winning, that could affect the QBR.
I don't believe Ketch was trying to say SB was terrible and doesn't give us a chance to win, he actually says the opposite when writing about SB specifically.
But it's hard to argue that without a surrounding cast of 5 stars like Bama has, we're going to need a better QBR (from the team and not just the QB) to win 8, 9 or 10 games in the future and compete for conference championships.

When you can't address the truth, make up some other silly line of reasoning to distract from that reality...
Consistency from week to week, rather that super elite play is what this team needs fro its quarterback play the most, in part because it's the most reasonable expectation to establish at this point.
Once someone gets there, the bar can be raised again.
Finally! A voice of reason. 99% of us read it the same way, but a few... Hell, I'm just thrilled we have at least two viable quarterbacks, and look forward to good QB play on a team playing well.
