MD needs to learn the art of avoiding contact when he can. Watched the replay last night, good god he took some direct shots. Tough kid no doubt, but he’s gotta protect himself a little bit.
He needs to learn the Andy Slide.

In all seriousness though, Brock was driving me crazy the other day. I don't think he ever shut up once the whole game.
That blindside shot from Coburn was brutal. Completely upended him.MD needs to learn the art of avoiding contact when he can. Watched the replay last night, good god he took some direct shots. Tough kid no doubt, but he’s gotta protect himself a little bit.
And the first down in your face after immediately getting up will work wonders for getting his teammates behind him. Really big moment imo. His team now.That blindside shot from Coburn was brutal. Completely upended him.

So great! Only way to respond after almost having your head ripped off your shoulders.And the first down in your face after immediately getting up will work wonders for getting his teammates behind him. Really big moment imo. His team now.
Yah I wasn’t expecting it either.Can’t believe he got up from it. That hit puts most guys out of the game at least for a series or two just to make sure all the parts are still in working order.
I see Max as more of a cross between Patrick Mahomes, Tom Brady, and Johnny Unitas with just a little bit of Mike Vick in him.It won't be close.
You will see a different TCU team at OSU. The entire team is NOW behind Max and the defense is feeding off the offense and vice versa. Max will be very difficult to beat out for the QB spot in the future. Sonny is letting him run the zone read where he keeps it. Opening up a lot of the defense, kinda reminds me of Mayfield.
I was already all in on Max but that final drive with the 3rd down throws to Stephens and Barber, the TD run, and that run with the 1st down signal just made me want to go out there and throw some blocks for the kid. O-Linemen have to absolutely LOVE Max.And the first down in your face after immediately getting up will work wonders for getting his teammates behind him. Really big moment imo. His team now.

Absolutely a clean hit. Blindside because MD never saw it coming.Big hit but a very clean hit
I think we have a kid who will play as well as or better than Johnny Manziel, except he has a good brain and is a solid character and won't throw off any Aggie type stench . I think Max will become a really big deal in his sophomore season (when he's the same age Manziel was his first season playing).. He has the skills and athleticism to be a Staubach/Tarkington type and will be making plays out of nothing.. It's going to be fun watching him do so.. Personally, I'm glad he's not redshirting- we'll get at least 3 and maybe 4 years of him..

I keep going back to Mayfield. It may take another year before he really is the man for the team with his leadership and will to win like Mayfield was. He has a better arm than Mayfield and is faster. He's going to be a good one and I'm comparing him to Mayfield when he was a senior, not a true freshman so it's easy to see his upside comparing the two. Bram was a leader and could make plays but he didn't have the overall athleticism of Max and Boykin didn't have the discipline. We beat OSU in Stillwater and we might just win out, yep including OU.
On that note, Dalton's take on the slide was often to dive forward at the feet of the nearest tackler. You'd have to blatantly spear him to make contact at all. I don't recall Andy getting hurt on any of these forward slides, and he got two or more extra yards versus the baseball type QB slide.MD needs to learn the art of avoiding contact when he can.

But the difference is that Max has the wheels to be a home run threat. AD was never going to break anything longer than 15 or 20 so he got what he could and then dove forward. Max has more 50+ yarders in his future so I don’t picture him being a get 5 or 6 and shut it down type of runner. Hopefully he can pick his spots well and protect himself.On that note, Dalton's take on the slide was often to dive forward at the feet of the nearest tackler.
