    I got negged by three people for posting Casey's highlights from the Alamo Bowl when many of you were convinced Card is much better. That's the QB who won a game for us and could be starting the first

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.
If you’re gonna be late don’t bother showing up. 
What if he's looking for the athsma field?
QB1 confirmed!
Rockin that Colt style pornstache...cant lose

God Dammit....I am dying for any morsel of news about camp and what I get is a discussion about the LOGO color!

Theres always cheese puns or pics of the brisket i smoked yesterday 

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.

Nope. And seriously, which great team has ever rotated their QBs?

You're right but I hope he keeps the other QB warm with plenty of reps unlike what Mack used to do.

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

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.

Arm talent > mobility in this offense. 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

I’d bet card is quite a bit faster than casey

So Tom gave out participation ribbon, cheap trophies made in  China and 25 cent bubble gum machine championship rings?   

IS this Brian's way of suggesting we were soft during the  Herman era?   Should have said something about it back then Brian.. Glad he finally noticed after the fact.

They didn't rotate.  Leak was the qb and Tebow was a goalline fullback.

Probably is, he looks like a giraffe in the open field though. You’d think a former wide receiver would be a more coordinated athlete.

And for watching Texas Baseball home games when I couldn't get out to the Disch. Still happy to make the move tho ...

Speaking of baseball home games.  How does that work in the sec.  ESPN+ or are we at the will of who they decide to show that week. I sure love my ability to watch the games from Oregon.

Vince Young looked like a giraffe while running and that worked out okay.

This might be the worst analogy I’ve ever read on this website. 

 

Other than Casey being a bit shorter, they both seem to be built similarly. Interesting race

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.

Might be the worst take ever. Vince was graceful as fuck. He was art in motion.

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.

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. 

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?

True, but he always juked right in the open field. I cant believe nobody figured that out until he got to the nfl. PS. Fuck you Jeff Fisher!

Card’s throwing motion is so clean, good lord his mechanics are insane for only being a QB for a few years. Kids an athlete

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