August 8, 20214 yr He ran the shit outta QB power even after they knew to expect it, and shut it down consistently The "we know our plays have known tells but we're going to run it right down their throat anyway" attitude explains almost every head scratching thing that Herman did, and why he was fired.
August 8, 20214 yr If you’re gonna be late don’t bother showing up. What if he's looking for the athsma field?
August 8, 20214 yr Is the Longhorn logo actually darker (more burnt) this year or am I just wishcasting?
August 8, 20214 yr God Dammit....I am dying for any morsel of news about camp and what I get is a discussion about the LOGO color!

August 8, 20214 yr Does Sark have a history of rotating QBs? I like both our guys. It would be shame for one to lose the battle and transfer. Card has lots of time to develop. Hope he stays and waits his turn if he doesn't get the starting job.

August 8, 20214 yr If they truly are neck and neck I say go with Casey. His mobility advantage might be a bigger factor than Cards arm advantage early in the season. I think you can’t discount the lower likelihood that Card might transfer if he’s not the guy on day one. But mainly I’d make Casey proves he’s not the guy we saw against Colorado before someone takes his position as QB1. No matter what happens I’d let the back up play early and often until it’s clear who has “it.” Hopefully Sark isn’t going to turtle us into unnecessarily close games so that we don’t have to white knuckle it with the starter until there’s only :45 seconds of garbage time for the backup Edited August 8, 20214 yr by Lhorn
August 8, 20214 yr Player's dad told me he thinks Thompson has "won" the QB battle bc they basically have to pick someone.This guy doesnt think there was going to be a real winner, and says he expects a clear step up in QB play from last year. This guy's son has seen every rep they have taken and doesnt know who he would pick. Sounds very promising.

If it’s truly that close go with the one with more potential. also I watched Card play receiver for LT vs Judson and he was the 3-5 best athlete on the field that day that included Garrett Wilson, Sincere McCormick, and othees Edited August 8, 20214 yr by BurntOrange&White

August 8, 20214 yr Other than Casey being a bit shorter, they both seem to be built similarly. Interesting race
August 8, 20214 yr It seems like we've heard that Casey is faster but both are athletic, while Card has the stronger / more natural arm. And that Sark's offense prioritizes arm talent over mobility. With that said, it ultimately will come down to who is making better decisions, quicker progressions, and accurate throws. I won't pretend to know the answer to that, only the coaches/players have seen them.

I won't pretend to know the answer to that, only the coaches/players have seen them. Sark's track record as both a QB and developer of QBs is pretty damn solid.My guess is that there are parts of this evaluation that only he'll really know/understand, and that whoever he picks will give us our best chance to win.After our last two coaches, I'm far from a "trust the coaches" mindset on most things until they prove it, but specifically with Sark and quarterbacks I think we're in good hands.

August 8, 20214 yr 26 minutes ago, Nope said: This is a great look at why Card is a more natural thrower. You can tell Casey is jerking through motion to put more velocity on the ball: shoulders over-rotate, side bends his body into the throw, brings his right leg through his rotation late and unnaturally. This is all trying to overcome his lack fluid release through his elbow/wrist snap. Contrast with Card whose body/rotation is synced with his hips. Great elbow extension and wrist snap to release the ball. Looks pretty effortless. Ironically, Casey motion actually looks "faster" but you can tell that less velocity is transferring through the ball. He's swinging too hard at the golf ball. Casey doesn't look bad by any means, but when put side-by-side with Card, it is noticeable. If Aaron Rodgers's motionless wrist-flick motion is the ideal, Card is a lot closer to that.
August 8, 20214 yr so I asked....What is the difference between "high football IQ "....and "good instincts"?...WTF? those are 2 9.95 type reviews that are like asking the old 8-Ball....answers like....what do you think?....chances are good...WTF?

Maybe they weren’t making the same throw, Mr. Card?
