Someone needs to repost that (or find it in this thread) - outside of IT I haven't seen anyone say there is a clear leader.

August 12, 20214 yr I’ve heard it here multiple times and Rod Babers said it on his podcast the other day, Card will probably transfer if not named the starter. He’s only a redshirt Fr who will be virtually guaranteed to start next year. He wouldn’t be able to play this year if he transferred anyway. Sure he would save a year of eligibility but he will still have 3 next year. I’m just not sure why many are so sure he’ll transfer. I mean, one of the main factors for people thinking Thompson gets the first crack is that Card is probably less likely to transfer as a RS FR from Lake Travis, who would still have two years after Casey graduates. He committed to Texas in the same class as JQJ, as well as knowing Thompson would be around after Sam left, so it’s not like he didn’t know he could be in that situation. So I’m not sure everyone is so sure Card would transfer. Certainly most think Thompson is gone if he’s not the starter. None of us have any real idea what the eventual backup will do though

He is from Austin, his family lives here, his friends live here. I don't see him as a kid who would bounce the second things don't go his way, although that is not an informed opinion. Sitting for one more season would be a zero sum game since he would have to do that regardless.

When you think of all those games he played in, especially those resounding wins where Herman never took his foot off the gas and made sure we had plenty of garbage time to blood young players, it's easy to forget that.
August 12, 20214 yr Meanwhile, Charles Wright throws his head back and cackles. Possibly from a 3 star Austin High QB to one sprained ankle away from being QB1 at The University of Texas within a year. This is why guys like Cole Lourd are a godsend. If Lourd was a 4th or 5th year player in the program, we really wouldn’t give a s*** if the backup QB transferred.

Also as a junior Thompson could get 2 full seasons and Card would have to sit 2 before getting a shot here. I could see either hitting the portal if it doesn't go their way but probably not until after the season. I wonder if the NIL will have QBs who aren't sure fire first round picks staying around to complete eligibility a lot more. They could earn possibly better money and play in much higher profile games here than riding the bench or practice squad on an NFL team.

August 12, 20214 yr The reason I was always pissed at Mack and the reason I was always at the highest extent of pisstivity with Herman is not putting his foot on the neck of the vanquished. St DKR would do his best to lead by 28 at the half. Then he would send in the second string, and those hungry bastards would pile on more.....by the 4th quarter he sent in the 3rd string ...against exhausted opponents and it really got ugly! ( well....I thought it was beautiful....eye of the beholder and all....) This did 2 things....it kept the starters mostly injury free.....and it gave real game experience to the back ups. Dont you think when Colt went down playing for the Natty that it would have been nice for Gilbert to come in with actual experience?.....no!...Mack liked that "deer in the headlights look from his #2 QB....but the big advantage is that everyone knew they would get to play. God dammit!....Now I all pissed off again just thinking about it... Edited August 12, 20214 yr by oldhorn2

Agree, Herman's mind games also fucked with morale. Sark won't fuck with their heads, constantly belittle them, or feed them runny eggs and burnt toast. That contrast is going to be huge and fresh on their minds. The team is going to want to run through a wall for Sark.
August 12, 20214 yr 13 hours ago, Ricky Butler said: Sarkisian has proved to be one of the top offensive playcallers in college football. He called the plays in 26 games for the Crimson Tide from 2019 to 2020, and not once did the team produce negative expected points added (EPA) per play over a game. Yes, the Alabama program has been full to the brim with talent, but the fact that he didn't even come close to fielding an inefficient offense is truly absurd. https://www.pff.com/news/college-football-five-underrated-teams-2021-college-football-season Remember when we had 5 stars coached by Greg Davis?

August 12, 20214 yr IDGAF who starts at QB as long as that QB is winning g games. If the other guy decides to transfer then who cares. Casey or Card I don't care. I have tired of caring and ready to just win games and play over our talent in stead of always playing below our talent and down to whoever we play.

August 12, 20214 yr They should name the QBs as co-starters with an - OR - Let them win the position during the season
August 12, 20214 yr Take my money...I'm buying that if someone makes it[emoji23]Edit- it has to be a pic of Huff wearing it though
August 12, 20214 yr I didn't follow Sark when he was out west as a HC - did he have any team coming into the season without a definitive #1? I trust him on QB evaluation and believe he'll get this choice right (and switch quickly if it turns out to not work), but was curious if he previously had a similar experience.
August 12, 20214 yr Why does everyone think Thompson is more athletic? Card played wide receiver in high school and is a great all around athlete.I have eyeballs and seen both of them move in games and scrimmage. Casey appears to have elite mobility for the position. The only contriving factor is if Card mobility has been hampered by his inexperience and hesitancy. And with more confidence, we’ll see him tear it up.
August 12, 20214 yr 5 hours ago, CastHorn said: I think this topic has been discussed like five times in this thread. Card may be a better athlete, but he looks clumsy and uncoordinated when a play breaks down. He certainly doesn’t look like a former wide receiver. When Casey tucks the ball he looks dynamic and natural. Sark is a BYU guy at heart. He wants his QB to move in the pocket, keep his eyes downfield and make plays with his arm.

Card didn’t exactly demonstrate those qualities in the action I’ve seen. His eyes dropped & he rolled out deep with any sign of pressure. We’ll see how much these QBs progressed over the summer.
