Nope. It’s an RPO offense. Can’t exactly do that with the QBs back to the D. The whole point is to have the QB reading certain cues and acting appropriately. The more experience he gets the better he’s able to operate.

On the other hand, nice to see Downs and several secondary at full go.

Who cares about age? My thing was getting experience.

Nix also essentially started for five years in college. Comparing the two is apples and oranges.

I agree that we disagree my friend. But I’ve watched his hs tape and every snap in college if it isn’t obvious by my name. I’m all in on AR and his biggest fan, but he needs to make up reps he didn’t get last year. IMO those need to be now.

No, 7 passes isn’t anything you can learn from. I agree with you that this game is meaningless as are all preseason games, at least when it comes to the standings. They are meaningful in gaining real game time(ish) reps, which he needs in heaps. My point was either put him out there and get them now, or wait for when the games do in fact count. Also, joint practices are for everyone other than the QB. They get to throw against other dbs but it still isn’t live reps.

I didn’t say he should play the whole game but there wasn’t any chance a real game type scenario was played out there which he needs. He might as well not even played bc he needs reps so if limiting him to a couple attempts bc of injury risks then don’t even put him out there.

I understand the need to keep starters out of harm’s way, but giving AR a handful of snaps is pointless in his situation. He still needs those valuable reps to learn and make mistakes since he had limited reps last year. What he was given today did a disservice. He wasn’t able to have any success, but at the same time wasn’t able to put on tape anything to learn from. IMO you hold him out until you’re willing to give him enough time to get in the flow of the game and be able to make adjustments.

Stafford was born in Tampa and grew up in Georgia and Dallas.

I had the same surgery. You start rehab 3 days after surgery for several reasons. Of course I’m no professional athlete just a lowly construction worker but basically was told to keep in motion as much as I could. Keep moving to prevent lack of range of motion. Pain needs to be worked through bc strength is the end goal. Pain doesn’t equal a problem, regaining strength is the goal and that’s just a part of it. Y’all need to stop trying to make it a problem, let the process play out. It’s not an if, it’s a when. When the healing is complete it will be. Stopping and doing nothing is the exact opposite to do. Finding the balance is between AR and the docs and it appears they have a plan and are abiding by it.

For me it is Latu. Not because he was the first round pick, but in this division especially, you’re going to need to hit the QBs as often as possible. Plus seems like the kid will be a great locker room/community guy.

QBs are labeled as “can’t make all the throws”. It doesn’t mean they’ve never made whatever throws they’re being accused of not being able to make. Baseball players are labeled as “can’t hit the curve”, doesn’t mean they’ve never hit a curve. It’s that they can’t do it at a consistent level. My longhorn buddy is big in recruiting so has watch all his HS film as well as every second he’s played in college and would not want him in the first round. Not saying he is right, but when it comes to Texas football I trust his assessment. Just was trying to relay that info.
