Has anyone checked up on @shadow_operative to make sure he's okay? Good news about Sam usually really upsets him.

I know people will say it's the preseason, but (1) Sam is playing with a bunch of 2s and 3s who don't have the experience and reps of the 1s, so he's really having to ball out, and, (2) he's playing against defensive players fighting to get a roster spot who are playing at a higher speed than the defensive 1s would be in the preseason, so he's really having to ball out.

That's my argument.

I've watched all his snaps. It doesn't matter if he's playing against 2s or 3s. His grasp of the offense and reads are incredible, he's also using his legs way more appropriately and making throws he never made here. Like incredibly good throws, with no duck spiral.

Now just imagine Texas had worked with Sam to develop his arm talent as opposed to relying on his being a battering ram when stuff broke down.

Imagine if Sam came back last year to learn how to actually do all of that under Sark... What could have been.

Then we could have argued with A&M about who’s 8-4 season was better?

We'd all be predicting 10-2 this year because of an up-and-coming Hudson Card nobody has seen play yet.

Agree on his arm. Also his pocket presence and throws under pressure just really pop. He is facing some pressure with that line and consistently converting that for big plays with his arm, which is huge in the NFL. Of course I'm horribly, horribly biased.

Lol I don’t think Ewers comes here if the conventional wisdom is that Card is a badass. He came here to play.

But in Your Mom's scenario, nobody would've seen Card yet, so it's not like he would be some badass, or even halfway decent QB, who would scare off Ewers.

Everyone thought Card was a badass before he saw the field though

He was the Aaron Rodgers release guy lol

The only consensus was that he has small hands.  He was a receiver until his senior year.

Who is everyone? I never wanted him to play last year.

Sobering graphic lol

I'm like 85% sure Desmond Ridder is never going to be a good starting QB in the NFL. 

That doesn't mean Sam hasn't been playing well... but, it's preseason.

True….but Sam is definitely taking advantage of the opportunity he’s been given….that’s all, and more, than the coaches could ask for. He was making hay while the sun was shining.

You did spend the last few years writing turgid diatribes about why Sam sucked, so forgive me if I am somewhat skeptical of your recently-acquired fandom.

No Dallas in the top ten?  Jerry is going to trade 4 first rounders for someone that will move merch. 
 

and lol at Carolina fans buying up baker swag. Or maybe it’s Cleveland fans celebrating.

No way they see that and trade him

Just now, Nope said:

Sam has a roster spot. They will not let him be on the practice squad. Idk why everyone keeps thinking it’s complicated. They can just cut other people when they need to sign FA or people off waivers. We are talking super deep in the depth chart trade not some first stringer trades.

I mean… Nicole did just tell us she got a $9k raise.  I didn’t think it was that far fetched.

Paywall crap.  Can anyone post the article?

I'm no NFL GM, but it's not hard to see that guy has "it".  I'd suggest he has more "it" than Nick Foles does.  But, it won't matter, he'll get cut and end up down on some other roster.

I’ve watched enough Hard Knocks to know he’ll probably get cut but he’ll land on some team. He’s earned a spot, especially because it’s a qb-thin league.

Right now - yes - I think he's a better player. As far as having "it" goes - Foles does have a SBMVP. 

And Sam isn't getting cut. They'll maybe practice squad him and then I bet he makes someone else's 53.

Go Sam! Y’all are silly. I’m not into Sam like that but I guess it makes for a nice bit or whatever. I just want him to succeed. He was so much better than Herman allowed him to be and he was all heart here at Texas. I’m just glad he’s getting the chance to really shine. He’s certainly outplayed Foles. That’s just a fact. 
 

we can only wonder what he would have accomplished if he hadn’t been used as a damn battering ram. He was so dinged up by the end of the year from the being misused that way. Fuck Tom Herman. Shit you can see how “not very big” he is when he joins the huddle…and we used him like he was Big Ben at Texas. Fuck Tom!  Go Sam go! 

It’s crazy, as a Cowboys fan, seeing Sam try to make the game roster when Cooper Rush is our backup.
