Players starting and player decisions

[Chongo94]

That’s where I stole the line, but I think it’s a valid question.

His injury and supposed stamina issues are basically the Bermuda Triangle of this team.

 

[Bizarro Frog]

Lol. My bad , typo’d Zach, should be Max.

I was wondering if I didn’t know our players names.

 

[TCUBetterThanYou]

Actually if you look at the participation report he has played in every game and even has caught a couple of passes. Looks like he is a transfer from Incarnate Word. Perhaps an experienced player but not at a Division ! school and has come here and is playing hard and because of that is getting playing time. Great to see!

Rudy! Rudy! Rudy!

Rudy! Rudy! Rudy!

horrible movie with a made up ending

Yeah, I have a colleague who was at ND and at “the Game.” Said no one had any idea any of that was happening. Good movie drama!

Baylor is the 80th ranked passing defense.

Ok. So it seems like you're going to do everything by a pure statistical analysis. That's fine. Kenny Hill played a really good game that night against OU. This Baylor defense is quite a bit better than that Oklahoma defense was and Morris was basically our entire offense for 60 minutes.

In my opinion it was a far more impressive performance than that game that Kenny Hill had against Oklahoma. But if you want to say that it wasn't then that's fine.

Morris also ran for 70 yards, and some of his best plays were Houdini like pocket escapes for 1st downs. Critical plays.

Easily the best overall QB performance by a frog since Boykin IMO. Could’ve, and maybe should’ve been picked off a time or two but he wasn’t, and you could play the what if game all the time.

Kenny Hill threw for 450 and 5 touchdowns against OU in 2016. I’d say that’s close or better.

That OU defense was awful and Baylor’s is top 10 in all of the modern day defensive statistics

Except passing defense, where they’re 80th.

 

[BleedNPurple]

I’m just wondering what other great players we have that haven’t seen the field? May be more gems on the bench that need to be brought out!

 

[Pharm Frog]

Is Carter Ware done for the season?

Not to mention this was CM’s FIRST start and he’s a red shirt freshman. Kenny Hill had plenty of experience when he put up those numbers against OU.

I've been told that after football he is interested in the manufacture and design of plastic robots.

Really

 

[NewFrogFan]

How are Max's hands? Is he familiar with any of the following gentlemen: Matt Jones, Julian Edelman, or Antwaan Randle-El?

Max is the kind of gamer and competitor you'd love to see on the field, but Morris is the kind of QB you don't take off the field. Max has some elusiveness and certainly knows the offense. Can we find a compromise somehow?

Like I said…….

 

[TCURiggs]

Except passing defense, where they’re 80th.

Darning lawyers... give it a rest!

 

[4th. down]

I hate to be that guy but after Morris’ and Banks’ play today, I’m struggling to understand how these two guys did not earn more playing time through the course of the season.

What do you think was the staff’s reasoning behind this? I’m really curious as to the thought process here if anyone has any insight in to all this…

Like you, myself, and others have had the same thoughts and the only rational decision I can come up with, and it will not be popular is........Gary Patterson. No. 1, the buck stops with him and he changes what he doesn't like and no. 2 he plays favorites and experience over younger talent....Delton, and not playing Banks at LB when everyone knew we have a problem at LB. How in the world can you watch practice everyday and have Chandler 3rd, string.......there is no other explanation.

 

[Frog-in-law1995]

Darning lawyers... give it a rest!

I had.

 

[Diehard]

Maybe Patterson put too much emphasis on seniority and young players waiting for their turn

A little different now when you recruit better players, some may be instantly ready to play and make a difference

LOYALTY! The best of life's traits that can bite you in the butt.

 

[Diehard]

I always wondered why teams like OU and Tech and about anyone else could bring in quality freshmen QB's and the offenses never missed a beat. Why is that always so hard for TCU? My guess was defective schemes but this is a solid indication that is has to do with hierarchy and seniority and simply who you let play.

LOYALTY! Again.

LOYALTY! The best of life's traits that can bite you in the butt.

Maybe loyalty but also perhaps an element of comfort. Some leaders like to be surrounded by people who think like and agree with them. Not necessarily yes men but individuals who don’t challenge the leader’s direction because they are just versions of him. I think that may be why Meach left. He came back as a guy who needed a job and was willing to conform.
