That or it's just hard to let go of an opinion repeated over and over.
Victor Lazlo is correct. If you're not enjoying what Card is doing then football must be generally a miserable experience for you.
I watch the season game to game. Card has been just about heroic playing injured and still making key runs at key moments when we seem to be at the point of faltering.
No one will remember his scramble last night for a first down in a game with a lopsided score, but it, to me, is a key moment in UT's trajectory. It came at a moment when there was a glimmer of hope for WV, and we were in that spot where we have lacked the instinct to finish a kill. Third and long. A punt to WV is a sickening notion considering our history. Card gets the first down. We finish the winner's path.
It doesn't matter who is better or worse than a player on the field when a game is on. Our team is comprised of the guys playing. If Card were the disaster that so many have insisted he is, we'd be in a hell of shape right now. He's risen to the challenge. I'm delighted about it and proud of him.
Ewers is more effective, but he's not playing. I don't see a reason to hold that against Card.
I also love the way this team is playing. We look like Texas out there.
