So you’re saying that you did not watch the Tarleton vs Prarie View A&M game. Because if you had you’d likely have a different opinion on the thoughts presented above. SD is not good at this whole QB evaluation thing…his track record speaks for itself. Maybe there’s a fantastical turnaround in QB play and overall team performance coming soon. I’ll be shocked if that happens, but maybe. Time will certainly tell…
Correct. I don’t watch that game and if I had would never begin to make comparisons to the teams, level of talent, circumstances.

That’s one heck of a cop out. Sonyou’d never compare players and their physical skills and abilities? So you definitely don’t consider recruiting evaluations legitimate or worthwhile. And the transfer portal…totally dumb to compare athletes in the portal versus those in your current roster. Just put names in a hat and pick them? Or read their views on life? Maybe see how they sound when talking to a crowd on a microphone? Come on man, comparison is literally over 50% of what being a fan entails.
 
For example if this guy came in here because this was a better NFL showcase (see Hoover), and has decided he will not risk injury, just show what a strong arm he has, that’s when coaches should sit them down and get their mind right.
I had the same thought. If so, maybe 8-10 designed QB runs a game could help fix the aversion.

Not those levels or those teams, talent and competition.

The new offensive coordinator with his new offense and new QB had a poor showing in the season’s first game played six time zones away in the rain.

I wish we would open our seasons at home with a body bag game.

We will know more after the second game. I expect to see a lot of improvement in the next two games.

We are not really making comparisons like this are we between these teams/games/circumstances. Come on ladies get a little grip.
If you would have been at Argyle game vs Oak Ridge from Ca. you would have seen a 6’4” 220 QB from Ca that could and did hit WR 40-50 yards down field, AND 10 yards over the middle and did not hesitate to run when 20 yards of grass was wide open. Led his team back in the 4th quarter from 13 down. Guarantee he won’t be playing Ivy League football next year.

If he keeps putting his team in a hole for much of the game, how are you sure where he'll play?

Levels of talent and competition huh…well there’s a lot going on in case you’ve missed it. Texas, Ohio State, Notre Dame, Georgia, Indiana, and about 5-10 other programs get the mega-studs. The talent gap between them and TCU is bigger than it’s been in a very long time and only getting bigger. The talent gap between TCU and the very top of the Group of Six isn’t what it used to be. And it’s only going to keep shrinking. Eventually we will be with them baring some type of major overhaul of the entire system. Right now TCU has a deeper cast of players than the very best Group of Six programs. The best players though are closer to each other than you’re assuming.
Next you'll compare a little league game.
Okie dokie, the dude was a top 100 recruit out of high school. He wanted to go to the mountains because he loves to fly fish and snowboard. So he goes to Wyoming then decides he wants to come back to Texas and play for a winning program. TCU would have won in Dublin with him at QB. Craig was the QB at Harvard playing on some very average teams but he’s clearly legitimate compared to a guy with way more skins on the wall out of Southlake Carroll.

Jaden Craig was an Ivy League star. Now Harvard transfer is looking to make a leap at TCU​

Austin Curtright, USA TODAY NETWORK

TCU football found itself without a quarterback this offseason after veteran three-year starter Josh Hoover entered the transfer portal before eventually committing to Indiana, the reigning national champion.

The Horned Frogs didn't go out and find a highly touted transfer to replace Hoover, though. Instead, they're putting their faith in Jaden Craig, an Ivy League star who TCU thinks can be a standout, despite moving up from the FCS level.

Craig, a graduate transfer and multi-year starter from Harvard, passed for 6,074 yards with 52 touchdowns to 12 interceptions in three seasons with the Crimson. He also rushed for 194 yards and 11 additional scores. The 6-foot-3, 225-pound signal caller will face a much-tougher schedule than the one he faced at Harvard, but has received rave reviews in fall camp heading into the season.

Well, we've got nowhere to go but up, considering...

Whatever confidence we had, which was based on lies and gaslighting Sonny & Company have been spewing for the past six weeks, is evaporating. Fast.
