I was hoping Maalik would be fire, but he's not him, not even close. And it's even more upsetting that this showing indicates our QB depth is worse than we thought. Texas at this point, should have next man-up talent in the room. Maalik won't be able to handle Kansas State next week. Especially if we keep getting these poor play calls in the red zone from Sark, assuming we get there.

Sark doesn’t trust Maalik and with very good reason. I won’t blame red zone issues today on Sark, just because today is a totally different entity with a QB that shouldn’t be playing. MM is Swoopes 2.0 and not a whole lot better. 

What the fuck are you idiots blathering about? 

Dude had some impressive flashes today and played a clean 2nd half.

  • Dude. Did y'all watch the same game? Before he got hurt, Card was playing pretty well. Yes, a one legged Card isnt very good, but he still gutted us out to a lead with a minute and half left. Fucking

  • Maalik plays school. Great move for this young man. I hope he slays it and gets drafted.

Yeah, dude had his issues but it’s his first start ever.  Some people are acting like this is Ewers against Okie St last year.  Do I want Ewers back?  Yeah.  But I’m down with Maalik as depth and, I mean, players can improve.  
 

Fucking message boards, man. 

I’m not as worried about Maalik against KSU as I am about Sarks playcalling droughts and trying to get too cute. Maalik settled down and played fairly well for his first start, after the 5:00 mark in Q2.

This.  Was going to add that Sark’s play calling did the offense no favors.  

Maalik looked better against BYU than Quinn did against Cougar High. Some of that might have been injury, some of that might have been having to play on the road, some of that might have been the lack of a longstanding rivalry, but I don't think we want to rush Quinn's recovery out of a fear that Maalik isn't as good.

Did you forget the shitshow we had to endure last weekend?

They need to work with him all week on blitz pickup and hot reads.  Because KSU is going to blitz the shit out of him.

You mean the one that had zero to do with how Ewers played?

I'm happy for Maalik, and he played good enough for a solid win. He's a QB still in development. He stares down receivers for way too long before delivering the ball. He throws off his back foot often. He panics when pressured.  But, he also made some good downfield throws and hung tough. And, he showed some improvement during the game.

It was Maalik’s first start and it looked like it. He doesn’t look there, but we will see if he can take the necessary steps in game 2

Yeah.....he actually just said that

He looked raw still and too many back foot throws. The talent is evident tho

I disagree. Quinn was better last week. Quinn is still the better QB but he also has more experience. I'm not convinced he has more upside or a higher ceiling. For starters - Murphy seems to progress through reads more quickly and frankly sees shit that I don't think Quinn does.

Whatever has always bothered me about Quinn isn't there with MM. That doesn't mean Maalik is a better player but he sure as shit has my attention after today. 

I can't wait for next week. I'm fucking excited. We have some real shit to play for and we have a backup QB that might be up to task.

Maalik told all receivers to wear gloves this week, as they’re coming in HOT!

Hook’em!!!

Buddy every receiver everywhere wears gloves even if noodle arm Case McCoy throw to you.

I remember when James Street replaced Bill Bradley at QB a game and a half into the 1968 season and that turned out pretty well.  Here’s hoping the same for Maalik.

I know this was pre-game wishful thinking but come on man.

This.  The combination of that terrible pick plus the give up pretty much got me ready for Arch to be honest.  

The pick was awful and so was the fumble. He should’ve been picked two other times. He is not ready and won’t be here. There were times he looked like he hadn’t played the position before.

Insanity. I guess you didn’t see Quinn play against Cougar High. 

Yes, Ewers is still our starter, and he should be back on the field whenever he is healthy again.  But fuck, you guys are fisting yourselves to death over this.  Let's see what Maalik does next week.

Also, this team is still not complete.  Our OL is bad.

Maalik’s day went about as expected. There’s a lot on tape that he can improve on. I think he’ll improve week to week. KSU is going to be a roller coaster, lock in.

Watching Connor pull is the softest thing I’ve seen in a while. The one on the goal line was bad.

All of this, but I thought he actually stayed fairly composed when pressured.  Moreso even than Quinn in some instances.  I was happy overall today.  Next week has me worried, but not only because of Maalik.

quinn makes a lot of bad decisions and is slow to read the defense. one of those bad decisions is why he's injured.

 You mean the bad decision where Sanders missed a block and Quinn got sacked and landed on his throwing shoulder?

The ball to JT as he was getting hit in the 1Q was unreal and not something I've ever seen Quinn do.

The pick in the 1Q was also not a pass that Quinn would ever make. 

He's a different player - for better or worse.

I'm just glad our QB room is in a place to where we aren't fucked when someone goes down. I mean I bet Arch is good enough to where we wouldn't be totally fucked if Maalik went down.

perhaps if he'd read the defense faster he wouldn't have been hit

Hahaha at you fucks expecting a guy with 8 passes to come out and light it up in his first start. He did what he needed to do. Bunch of fucking snowflakes around here. @Nicole44 has more testicular fortitude than most of yall.

Sanders whiffed on the block. QE never had a chance. Tonite we had a kickoff return for a TD and 3 takeaways and we still only put up the roughly the same points QE puts up when he is running the O.

Murphy was fine. He’s not 100% ready, but he was fine today.

He's better at some things but worse at others. He shouldn't rush the recovery because we'll need him 100% for the CCG, if we can make it there.

Maalik did what I expected, struggled especially in the first half. Second half was better. It was first game jitters. Give him some time. There's a lot to work on with him this week, but it wasn't terrible for his first start.

@Thatguy gracias! Normally, it’s a bunch of posters hating on me for being a chick. You and I disagree on certain things, but I’ve met you and you’re a cool guy and legit. You take a lot of crap to make your point and I do making my point but what’s cool is we know who we are and where we stand. You’re cool!

So much negativity in this thread. It was Murphy's first start. Chill out y'all!

Yes. It was nice to put a face to the name and despite all the bullshit you are a solid poster. Keep at it and ignore the haters.
