September 22, 20187 yr Yeah, everyone thought colt would be the most accurate passer in ncaa history and leave school with the most wins in history. Anyone who didnt was kidding themselves.

You watched his freshman year and didn’t realize you were watching greatness? i’m starting to think most posters on here were in grade school when colt played.
September 22, 20187 yr I watched a team with a damn good freshman qb and a literal championship team supporting cast.
September 22, 20187 yr Colt threw for 2,570 yards, completed 68% of his passes, had 29 touchdowns, 7 interceptions, and a passer rating of 168 as a freshman. He was pretty freaking good.

Sam's decision making hass vastly improved from last year, as has our offensive line. He's making his pre-snap reading and making adjustments at the line this year much better than last year. If the line continues to get better and he continues to get support from the running game, this year will be about how he develops making multiple reads post-snap. I want to see how effective we can be if Sam makes it to the point where he can get to his second or third read before scrambling out of the pocket before I write him off as a bust. Eight starts just isn't enough time to expect that development to have happened yet. Assuming Sam stays healthy and plays the whole or most of the season (which isn't a given), these are questions for next year, not this year. No, you don’t need to wait till next year to realize he is mediocre to average at best. But he tries hard and bleeds orange so we’ve got that going for us.

I thought we were watching a very good QB, but then his sophomore year made me think he benefitted greatly from leftover MNC talent. It was not until his junior year I realized we were watching greatness. Sam never had anywhere near the personnel Colt did his freshman year, particularly on the Line, and so the comparison fails.

The answer, of course, for anyone who's still defending Sam or searching for reasons to blame others for his failures is a giant, resounding, "NO!" Literally nobody here would be defending Sam Ehlinger if he didn't play for Texas, we'd all think he's terrible and laugh that he's the best that OU could throw out there. But because he plays for Texas, and because he's from Westlake, let's all scramble to find reasons why this obviously mediocre QB is actually going to pan out.

There's a million different things that have nothing to do with Ehlinger (including/especially the fact that the entire coaching staff and program have been overhauled since then, and incumbent starter Shane Buechele has fallen out of favor because of this), which have led to Sam becoming our starter, and yet here we are and he's still not good enough to start for any top flight team. this katherina attempt to act like my predictions for ehlinger somehow weren't correct simply because he didn't end up transferring out by now is sad and transparent. when you're wrong you're wrong, and the westlake fanboys were all way wrong on this one. here you go- Quote I don't think Sam is going to be very good in college. I'd peg him as a likely transfer candidate at this point. Yes, at this point, a year before he ever has even a chance to play at Texas. I've seen him a lot, and I don't think he has what it takes to be the starting Qb at any school with legit title hopes. but I was wrong???

You mean the reason we beat Nebraska in '07 isn't because Colt went 12/28 for 181 yards and an INT. You mean to tell me it was because Jamaal Charles ran for 290 yards and 3 TDs? Impossible, I refuse to believe that.

"not at all wrong"? get out of here. first off, that was 100% coachspeak for "this guy sucks at passing a football, which is in fact not at all complimentary. as for the idea that he was "not at all wrong", you'll have to refresh my memory for all of those games that Sam Ehlinger won for us with his feet. "He's a running back playing QB." lol no he's not. Denard Robinson and Armanti Edwards were running backs playing QB. Damn Ehlinger is a big, somewhat mobile QB who happens to be more effective as a runner than a passer, which again, does not make him a running back playing qb, or some big x factor who might kill you with his legs. give me a break. 150 career carries for 497 yards (3.3 yards per carry) and 4 TDs. "He's a running back playing QB." Yeah, what a total compliment for a guy who looks and plays nothing like a running back. The intentionally obtuse replies are running rampant here.

September 22, 20187 yr I think the comparison of Colt McCoy to Sam Ehlinger, by the Westlake honks, served up as a means of defending Sam Ehlinger is one of the funniest fucking things I’ve seen on the Internet in years. The deadpan delivery. Totally oblivious to the absurdity. It’s just fucking beautiful. Also, we’re going to see the door on optimism for this guy being “the man” start to fully close tonight. We’re about to be blown out again by a team with less talent and far superior coaching. I’m going with 3 turnovers by Ehlinger in the first half.

We won 28-10, I'm not faulting him, we won, but people act like his entire career here was sunshine and rainbows in which he carried us to victory every single week. The following season was even more up and down, we beat UCF and Arkansas State by a combined 11 points, lost to Kansas State by 20 at home because he thre 4 INTs. Then barely got by Nebraska thanks to Jamaal Charles, also barely got by Oklahoma State thanks to Jamaal Charles as Colt threw 3 INTs that day. Then he once again shit the bed against the sheep humpers.
