September 10, 20223 yr The same guy who thought Thompson would have a good year and needed proof that Ewers was good or else sark would be an embarrassment is now in here stanning for card. I’m shocked I tell you, shocked.

Yes, a one legged Card isnt very good, but he still gutted us out to a lead with a minute and half left. Fucking bitches. Yeah, Card is not the reason we lost. He couldn't step into his throws so he missed a couple of deep balls that we really needed. But he also hit some passes and that scramble on 2nd and 19 is something Ewers can't do. I was proud of Card's effort on a gimpy leg. That said, I'm all for letting Maalik start next week, with some RoJo wildcat, too. I don't think Card's gonna be 100%, much less Quinn.
September 10, 20223 yr I do wonder why we didn't see Maalik in on the final play of the game where a Hail Mary pass was needed. Card doesn't have that type of arm strength.

We win that game without him hobbling on a weak ankle the rest of the way.

He lost his 5 star status because California shut down high school school during his junior year. Balled out as a senior and won a state title. See how dumb that sounds?

Getting sacked on 3rd down on the play of the game to almost take us out of field goal range, and leave time on the clock for them, so we fucking lose a game against #1 Alabama revenge game we should've won isn't the standard. You aren’t the standard you whiny little bitch….

September 10, 20223 yr Swoopes’ high school teams were always dog shit. Mack got nervous he was going to pick OU, he made his umpteenth bad evaluation and he pushed for a commitment. Murphy won a state title and destroyed the camp circuit. Comparing Murphy to Swoopes is some katfid level regardation.

I’m sorry you think it’s shitty that I expect more from the QB at Texas. I’m glad Card tried his best and gutted through an ankle. I was glad Thompson gutted through a thumb injury last year. That’s awesome. It doesn’t make them good QBs. My comment, while harsh, is true. If we had a better QB, we would have won the game. Period. There are some fans who are just happy to see us the Longhorns field a team and wish them boys the best. This isn’t Hornfans, you’re allowed to criticize the team and coaches. Card is the same as he was last year. He made two good passes today. The rest was garbage. He holds the ball way too long. He needs someone wide open to throw the ball. If someone gets near him, he’s getting sacked. There’s so much more.

September 10, 20223 yr I’m getting downvotes for calling Card a pussy. Did we all watch the same game? It’s true what they say about the Football board. He’s so hobbled he can run for 19 yards against a future NFL defense?! He picks his spots. He’s not a winning QB.

September 10, 20223 yr Just now, Neonmoon said: Why? Please explain Because you're being a bitch. Card wasn't the reason we lost. If Card was healthy, I think it is damn clear we win, probably by multiple scores. He played about a quarter and half before getting injured, and started to do some things. Even injured, he made a few really good plays that were enough to put us in a position to win against the #1 ranked team with by far the best defense we will see this year.

Is that why you keep negging all my posts because your little player got criticized? Seriously, you don't think a healthy card is worth 1 more point? That's ridiculous.

September 10, 20223 yr Just now, Neonmoon said: Why? Please explain Malik is raw as shit, he has all the arm strength in the world so he may be able to throw it into the west deck but that doesn't do shit if his target was in the endzone.

This wasn't the game to criticize Card. We all know what Card is as a QB including his limitations. He's the backup QB for a reason. It was evident that Card was playing hurt and through pain. He was far from perfect and made several mistakes. But calling him a pussy after a performance where his gait worsened throughout the game is unnecessary.

He's not a big time QB at this level. Hobbled or not he's backup level and as a backup he came in, didn't throw picks or fumble, and with the defense they were in position to win with a couple of made plays on the last drive of the game. That's the role of a backup QB and he fulfilled it today. Expecting a backup QB to come in and decimate possibly the country's best defense is just ridiculous. It's not realistic. He's not Ewers even though the lying shit 9.95ers tried to tell you there was a QB competition and Card should have won it. The first 2 games have proven that to be bullshit.

September 10, 20223 yr If Card is still injured and can't throw it more than 20 yards like he did on the last play, I don't see how we can send him back out there. Maybe we do try one of the young guys out. If he is fully recovered well I think we still have to go with him.

Is that better everyone? No, not really. He complete 64% of his passes at a greater yds/attempt and per completion than Young with no turnovers, most of that on one leg. Of course Ewers would have done more. Of course you’d like more points. And maybe he’d have gotten them without the injury. But regardless, there were lots of reasons for the loss: No running game Uncalled penalties Bad snap on fg Missed tackle by Watts This isn’t like Simms throwing 4 ints in the Big 12 title game. Calling him the “main reason we lost” is just bizarre. I guess I can’t really explain it, to answer the earlier question, because it’s like we didn’t even watch the same game.

Card may not have done quite enough to win the game, but he sure as fuck didn't do anything to lose the game.
