I wonder what Greg Davis' cut is.

Baker being replaced by Gilbert would be hilarious

best job in the NFL. 

Strange trip from his disaster at UT.  Congrats.  But, even with Orlando, his immobility and tendency to hold on to the ball too long are working against him in the NFL.

I think if you're on an opening day roster for 5 seasons in the NFL, you earn your pension. Not sure if practice rosters are included on that plan.

The point is, it's been a great way for him to earn coin. He's forever the best player in the AAF, and he'll be able to recognize his grandkids in 30 years.

In the Super Bowl. When Baker gets hurt. Gilbert throws 3 second half TDs and wins MVP. 

Texas fans are washed away by a tsunami of conflicting emotions.

as long as they don't call a shovel pass

He’s already got a super bowl ring. So he don’t care

If he had any I don't think he could recognize them now.

Everybody should have a season as a Cleveland Browns quarterback under their belt.  It builds character...with  Johnny Manziel one notable exception notwithstanding.

Idk exactly how that works but I'm an accountant with a client who didn't even make it past his 1st year in the league and he gets a massive pension so I'm sure Garrett Gilbert has got that locked down now. He's probably made some decent enough money through the league

You sure?  His vision was already bad when he was 19.

It's hard to pick a favorite Texas-Nebraska moment, but I gotta admit, that one had me laughing harder than most.

Nope and Nope

NFL pensions come after 3 credited seasons. To get credit for a season, a player has to be on the game roster for 3 games...

Can't get the pension until 55...

Number of years x ~5k = monthly pension amount (since 1998, for players before that, it's something between 3k-4.5k times # of years = monthly payment)

1 season won't get a pension. He may have a settlement or insurance policy of some sort.

There's also a 401k and some other annuity thing they offer... You can find it all on the Google.

Squints has ONE credited season - 2017. He's only been on practice squads in other years and was on the roster for 1 game in 2018, so 2018 didn't count.

And that was Nebraska’s big revenge game and still lost to a horrible Texas team at home.  The cunts.

LOL! I was 100% in favor of Mack Brown's decision to move back to a pro-style offense, because I actually disliked our '08 & '09 offenses. But in hindsight, knowing what I know now about college & Texas High School Football offenses, I would choose the hiring Chad Morris as OC option in a heartbeat over either moving back to a pro-style offense or continuing Greg Davis' version of the spread.

Congrats Garrett!  Wish you the best.

Greatest AAF player of all-time.

bullshit he's going to beat out Baker Mayfield and win the NFL Heisman

They'll both have short careers behind that offensive line.

I hadn't realized Colt had survived.

I was at the game that day. It is the only thing I appreciate about Garrett Gilbert.

Don't you need to have your eyes open to see what someone looks like?

Are you fucking high? Those were the only years the offense worked as intended, save for Colt getting stuck in the MNC and not being able to play again that day.

Meh, it was dink and dunk bullshit with barely any throws downfield to get teams out of 10 yard deep umbrella coverage and it required the most accurate qb in the country to make it work.  It was pretty good when we had quan and ship and then regressed badly with only ship.  Like most of the offenses under mack and gdgd, it should have been better with the talent on hand.

If he squints hard enough.

The offense was very, very frequently shitty in 2009.

Looked pretty good in the game.  Ran the offense well and got 177 passing yards.  Definitely took a step to be the #2.  With Ballerina Mayfield lobbying for his LT buddy, and the fact that the other 2 backups didn't look too good, I'd say he's in a great spot to be on the Browns now.

Hope he makes it.

The new Pardon my Take has an interview with Baker Mayfield that Gilbert jumped in on. Gilbert and Mayfield seem to have bonded over being bitter towards UT.
