Horns247 Board

A 4.77 isn't exactly athletic. I think Brewer and McCoy both ran about a 4.7-4.8. I think he's highly overrated. I think TE is a good longterm position for him. This is a football discussion board. It shouldn't be disrespectful to discuss longterm positions of a player.

It's my opinion. I don't see him as a top QB based on QB abilities. He doesn't throw the ball well. Thats the job of a QB. To throw the ball downfield to WR's. He runs all over 2A kids like I do against my nieces and nephews at Thanksgiving. That doesn't make me a great QB and I don't think his running ability makes him a great QB. I think his size gets him a lot of love. I don't have to be Gerry Hamilton to think a kid is overrated.

Swoopes has been at church camp and admitted he has not been able to work out at all and that hurt his 40 time.

I don't like a lot of rules set up by some self appointed rulemaker. This is an football board subject to rules of civility and reasonable decorum. I agree inquiring about his tight end potential is a little presumptous and maybe inappropriate, but we don't need a list of rules for posts on Tyronne. The posters on this board will respond to comments they disagree with and will downvote those that are outrageous, ingnorant or classless.
There was another thread about people hating on Tyronne. What is with all this lame-ass hating crap? Posters commenting on improvements and dedication that Tyronne needs does not translate to hating. It's called reality. My read is that everybody on this board is 100% behind Tyronne, but that does not mean we need to blow smoke up his ass about how awesome he is.

Work ethic? The last interview he had he blamed his poor day 1 performance on "not throwing a football since the season ended". Great QB's are always trying to get better. "He's a great player I'm sure" is laymans for "He didn't play well". Keep defending him. I'll keep opposing you. I'm not dismissing anyone except Swoopes so don't try to play that card man.

True.

This thread has good intentions but is terrible. What's the point if you can't argue a player's position? I'd love to know how well he can catch the ball and if he's a willing and able blocker because he just might not make it as a QB. I think he has QB so ingrained in his mind that it would keep him from becoming a success at another position (like tebow in NFL) so it might not matter, but if Brewer is a hit and the kid from 2014 that the staff takes is better in time than Swoopes then he'll need to provide production somewhere to see the field.

+1

LiOK was and is a Team Barrett guy and just sour grapes now IMO.

You mean the guy that no one thought was good enough to invite to the Opening?

So if or when Overstreet beats him out, would you not want to know if he can play TE? This is TEXAS! The team is more important than anointing someone as a can't fail then not being able to use that player in other positions. I am curious if any of these players can be better at another position. I pay my monthly fee to read and post here. Gerry or Bobby can set the boundaries. You do NOT. It is Not disrespectful to wonder if a player can help at another position.

Ditto for Swoopes and RSJ.

Seems to me there are a lot of people on this board who were so loud in their criticism of our taking Swoopes as the QB in this class that they feel their manhood is now on the line. They do not want him to be a bust per se but they need to be proven right. And that is the same thing. I agree with ut755. He is playing 2A ball. Who knows what he will be after a couple of years of training, film work and good coaching? I don't. But he is a good kid with a ton of natural ability and Harsin wanted him. He is about to become one of us. It is time to accept that and hope for the best.
