“Wasted last year with Arch” “We have to go all in, this is Arch last year” etc…. The kid finished the year strong but he was definitely a part of the problem to start the season. But some of you refer to him as if he has been the second coming. Is he even a top 10 QB in Texas history? Regardless he hasn’t consistently displayed the type of talent that can’t be beat out by subsequent QB1s. I wish some of you would stop acting like Arch is our one and only chance. The next guy might be able to hit a crosser or a quick slant.
I’m not sure why some of you still bother to listen to the 9.95ers. It’s their business to drum up excitement because that drives clicks. Upgrading particular positions was never going to be easy. As was stated before, letting marginal talent walk is just step 1. We still have to bid for the top free agents against other schools, no one was going to be a guarantee. Hopefully the staff/scout team had secondary options lined up. This team isn’t far away and it doesn’t necessarily need a Cam Coleman or Baugh although they would be nice to have.
What has the other guys shown? Like it or not Wingo was our best option for big plays in the passing game, and while at times he failed he also converted first downs on crucial downs as recently as yesterday. I get it that you are down on Wingo but what was the alternative? And I’d push back on him ever being solely the reason for us losing any of those 3 games. That is an extreme exaggeration.
Ehh. Wingo is the big play threat at WR. Sure he got more opportunities than most but it’s not like those other guys were setting the world on fire either. Based on what we’ve seen thus far Mosely is probably the best pure WR but he is more of a possession guy. I can understand going boom or bust with Wingo.
Maybe we target him less with more proven talent around him. Parker was Arch’s roommate, I guess it’s possible they still didn’t like each other, but I’d find that hard to believe. Wingo was the first read on most passing plays for better or worse. But Arch would seldomly come off of him to go elsewhere or he would stay on the read too long. He never seemed super confident in those other guys.
This reaction to Livingstone transferring is comical. I thought y’all didn’t care about losing marginal talent. Livingstone had all season to prove his spot should be solidified. He didn’t do that.
I’m pretty sure Wingo has a similar stat line to Indiana’s #1 WR. Also catching contested balls isn’t just on the WR. We had a QB trying to figure shit out for about half the season. Both Arch and Wingo were better in the second half of the season. Wingo just needs to clean up those drops.
I thought it was interesting how the tone of the game seemed to completely change late in the 3rd Q. Prior to that I thought the players were being friendly, probably carry over from joint bowl activities or something. I saw Arch dap a Michigan DL player after getting his pass batted early in the game. But once shit got serious we kicked their ass.
I wish yall would let this recruiting fan fiction die, and stop trying to wear this as some sort of badge of honor. Also some of you seriously need to watch more games. There is absolutely no reason to overpay for a WR like Coleman.
Probably but he had his worse games against their toughest opponents in Tulane and South Florida and he has yet to face a P4 team. Jury is still out on him for me.
50 receptions for 770 yards and 7 TDs from a guy that isn’t a WR is pretty damn good. And that’s with his QB having to figure shit out for like half the season. For reference Worthy went for 60/760/9 his sophomore year but maybe he wasn’t a WR yet either. The kid is a WR. He just needs to do a better job catching the ball and clean his routes up a bit.
He is a very good back at the Jax St level. He was not a very good back at a P5 school(TCU). I’d take a flier on him as the second RB take out of the portal but not as RB1. Too much of a gamble.
Before Jax St he was at TCU and didn’t do much of anything. So did he get better or did the competition get easier. Either way he isn’t a sure thing like most are making him out to be.
I could have sworn we took Blue back, but maybe it was just an announcement and he never actually entered the portal. But no one is officially in the portal right now.
If another team is willing to pay him 1M to play next season then Wisner is making the best possible decision for himself, and I can’t be mad at that. I honestly wouldn’t blame him for leaving for 500k. I like the dude but we obviously needed to upgrade RB1. Any good running back can duplicate his efforts against Aggie and Ousucks.
