Well.....this thread might have been about 1 minute premature.

They both have played like garbage.  I guess Thompson's going to get one more shot.

  • Author

Thompson did not play like garbage. Card gave us a TD (that he lofted off his back foot), a strip sack, and a pick-6. 

If we didn’t have the 14 point Card deficit, Casey’s INT doesn’t happen. We would’ve been comfortably in the lead by then and would’ve been running the ball to kill the clock instead of forcing plays.

This whole LT thing has gotta go. Look at Casey's stats and please explain.

Ask the guy with the .549 record that you’ve been blindly defending.

We should have known this season would be a train wreck when he chose card as the starter. Card is Terribad. 

The question is not why Card got to play but why did we run him out for the two minute offense.

It was a reasonable decision to get him some game time. I’d think at this time he’s done here now. Any goals for the season were shot so you need to see where you stand at the most critical position. So you could even argue my first statement is why you put him in for the two minute offense.

Part of the equation is that Casey hasn’t been consistent in the 4 game losing streak.

It’s really quite amazing how as a team we can’t put it together at the same time.

Because he’s Aaron Rodgers part 2 duh (that’ll be $9.95 and for $9.96 you can ask Mr.Aaron Card 1 question from the pre approved list!)

Card seems to have a very short leash.  If we are going to lose, give the guy some playing time at least.

It’s because he sucks anytime he plays.  He totally collapses and doesn’t have the mental toughness.  Atleast Casey fights his way through adversity.

 

For everyone that is asking why Card played, bc Casey couldn’t throw with him thumbs. Sark had to ask Casey to suck it up  and play through it.

To quell any QB controversy by showing both QBs suck.

But Casey’s fumble and int did happen. The QB that leads Texas into the future is not on this roster. That is pretty clear

He was in for 3 consecutive possessions:

  1. 6 play, 68 yard TD
  2. 3 play, -2 yard drive where he fumbled at the 23.  Kansas followed w/ a TD
  3. 1 play, 0 yard INT, pick 6.

He entered the game at 14-7, Kansas.
He left the game at 35-14, Kansas.

I think removing him was the right call.

This. You can see why Sark gives him a chance. Even in Kansas he looks really good for a series. The sack fumble happens and he folds. He just can’t respond when something goes wrong. I can see he is a kid that probably looks awesome in practice, when it’s a controlled environment

Yeah, good against our defense and seems to have the tools Sark wants.  Casey is flawed enough that it's tempting to want to replace him.  Card just isn't a realistic option behind this line, maybe ever.  I had thought that maybe he was like Buechele (flinched hard at getting steamrolled, but mostly overcame), but I don't think he is.

Because Sark expected to roll Kansas so he played both. But ruh roh it was a damn shootout.

he expected to roll them when it was 7-14?

Casey seemed to be throwing much better (or better) after he took the top off his thumb in his 3rd (?) series.  Putting Card in after prob spending a week and the first two series watching Casey throw it at WR ankles made sense...

I couldn't/wasn't able to watch enough for the game and its entirety to realize how bad that was. I was too busy trying to not have a heart attack and not have my wife's divorced me after going ape shit on her because I was too emotionally involved in the damned game.

Reading those stats, and I have no idea how accurate they are just makes me nauseous.

Outside of Reesing and Baker LT QBs are shit in college. 

and even though reesing was a 4A player of the year Mangino really made him.  Baker had the measurables but was immature.

Damn.  Truth.  Major fuck around and find out situation.

Does Baker win the Heisman if he played at Texas?

Because once again we have a coaching staff but can’t find their ass with both hands and a head coach that makes idiot decisions….

Note: Stan Drayton and Bo Davis are excluded 

Card is a step below an injured Casey, who can barely take snaps without dropping them.  That's saying something.  He's probably decent behind a half-competent OL, but we don't have a half-competent line.  That's also why he shines in practice....our DL can't get pressure on any QB, even against our shitty OL.

I was wanting Card to get another shot and he got it.  He needs to move to receiver or go play professional 7 on 7 (if there is such a thing).  He should never take another snap at QB at Texas.  That being said Casey should not take another snap after the Kansas State game.  If we cant bring in someone better for next year then that’s a good indicator that Sark can’t sell his vision to transfers(Ewers).

Agree on Card.

I think Casey is serviceable and at least gives us a year to redshirt or bring along a new guy.  I'd say replacing Casey via the portal is a relatively low priority.  We have more urgent needs to fill through the portal.

Casey’s thumb wasn’t right and we needed to move the ball. Probably would’ve been better off just playing RoJo out of the wildcat

Thompson would be a good backup assuming he's willing to do that.  At the least, Card needs to sit for multiple seasons before he's ready to play at this level.

I wonder if some people that have given Card some NIL money are pressuring for him to get more playing time?

 

I think that's happening with Lincoln Riley and Spencer Rattler.

The day NIL sponsors start dictating to a coach who should play will be a cold day in hell. Does anyone actually think that these college athletes are going to raise their sales? No, this is just state sponsored bag games outside of the rare guy like a Tebow.

Getting destroyed by Kansas ... I would have been willing to put Dicker under center. At least go full Idiocracy and put Canseco on the mound.

Jesus Christ this place is Crazytown. 

So Casey throws 6 TDs in a game and we all agree he sucks and is only a little bit better than Hudson fucking Card.

Y'all know that tied Colt's all-time school record, right? Which came in a 63-21 win over a typically pre-Briles shit Baylor squad, so the competition was not much better, if at all. 

Thompson  was much better after he took off the tape, and at some point they showed a graphic of his stats before the injury and after and it was night and day.

Still, I am almost sure I heard Scipio say on EGAT that "we have no QB" which I guess is progress because now they are admitting their golden boy sucks.

Agreed. Hudson has been given the opportunity and unfortunately it didn't work out. If he takes any snaps in the future it'll be for mop up duty. Would rather see Charles Wright gets snaps next year over Card.

I'll never forget or forgive our 9.95 hype factories for that Aaron Rodgers comp. What a joke. 

Funny thing is, I haven't seen him throw a ball confidently since our spring game. Guess that's because he was facing our defense. 

I just woke up from a dream that I was watching a game and Card dropped back to pass and was sacked, fumbled which was scooped up and run 45yd for the score.

Why is Davis excluded, because he yelled a lot at some players on a bus?  The d-line sucks.  That’s his responsibility.

Let him recruit first. He's having to use to bottom of the barrel from the Todd Orlando classes.

Because Davis is a legit DL coach and is the sole reason our DL/Edge class looks like it does.

1. There was nothing to lose - team was already 4-5

2. There were signs Casey was hurt?

3. Hudson had only legitimately played in, what, 2, 2.5 games? 

 

All 3 factors together make it defensible to give him a crack - because it wasnt known if he would make a positive difference.  Now it's known.  He fucking sucks.  Done and move on.
