The Case for Case

    Biggest thing I learned from this thread...

    If you're going to support Case, your Rating is going to have a bad time.

    I love how people meltdown when they think about a possible 1 on the depth chart next to Case McCoy. Even though he just had the best Scrimmage of his career. Just trust the coaches guys. There's a reason they're there and we're not. They have considered all the thoughts about the QBs that we have and have considerable more insight on it. Trust. The. System. You either think we have good coaches or you don't. If you don't then meltdown at coaches not certain players.

    I disagree with you, respectfully. Your rating will take a hit if you insinuate that David could not have accomplished the things Case did last year. You're entirely wrong if you think Case won the A&M game for us. Carrington Byndom and the defensive backs won that game for us.

    Wow. I think I wasted enough of my life reading the OP, so I will just respond to the most ridiculous of the questions posed... 3) Did you see the final score of the UCLA game? Or the underthrown INT, I mean completion that got UT down near the goalline that "noodle arm" threw? 7) No, his lack of premier D1 talent and below average physical abilities for a football player is what prevented his "development" and retarded his confidence. If his brother wasn't one of UT's all-time biggest badasses, he would not be playing at UT, or any other Big 6 conference football power IMO. 11) Please. Ash was a very efficient game manager, and UT's defense was and will be one of the main reasons UT returns to being the superpower we all have become accustomed to seeing each year. 13) McCoy showed us what we knew last year and proved that his increased strength has NOT made him a more effective passer, as his lame duck lob for INT looked just like every other throw over 15 yards he has made since he arrived on his brother's coattails, I mean campus.

    Please don't ever post anything so full of BS ever again. McCoy does not have the physical ability to lead UT anywhere past where we have already been since he has been on campus. Ash performed admirably for a true frosh with almost 0 experience even practicing with the 1st team, much less being thrust into live game action as an 18 year-old with not much hope of success. Ash has the physical tools, the growing experience, and the respect of his teammates as he grows into his role as leader of our offense and the most capable QB on this year's Texas Football team. You sound like Coltrocks12 from the other UT site

    Are we just a bit full of ourselves? Just like the world isn't a static place, neither are people static. In case you haven't been paying attention, Case has decided to shoot folks like you the finger and fight for the QB job. I for one will be tickled if he wins the job.

    "I've heard some of our fans say, 'We were always an SEC school. We just didn't know it," athletic director Bill Byrne said.

  • Whomever the coaches pick, their jobs rest on that decision. If they pick the wrong ones often enough their jobs will be on the balance. We will go back to our jobs Monday mornings fussing. I believe the reason most of us want Ash is because we think he is the better option. If Mack or Harsin plays McCoy it is because they think he is better suited for that particular situation.

    I keeping hoping that's the case (no pun intended), but the OP hasn't come back to defend it. I'm at the point that I don't even care who is leading the team, just as long as they're piling up W's.

    This, as I said in another thread, I don't give a damn who's the QB as long as he gives us the best chance to win. If they flip every week and for some reason Alex Okafor gives us the best chance to win, I'll take it.

    Agree 100%. I don't care who it is (full disclosure: I expect it to be Ash), but I just want a QB who will control the ball (low interceptions) and hit deep passes off of play-action to keep the defense honest and open up the running game.

    If Case can prove that he can hit on the intermediate-to-deep passes without just throwing balls up for grabs, I'm all for him as QB1. He seems to have a bit more of a leadership quality to him than Ash has shown (so far). But I think most people agree that Ash has shown better tools to be successful in our offense. He has the arm to hit on deep passes, the legs to escape the pocket, and needs to continue to improve his ball control, which it appears he has done based on the scrimmage reports.
