At this point we're going to lose every game left on the schedule.  I'd rather lose with Freeman than lose with Meier.  At least if Freeman continues to blow goats QB recruits will realize that they have a shot at starting whereas if he rides the pine he remains the heir apparent and we'll blow next season finding out how much he sucks.

We can still win 8 games.

It just might take us a couple of years to get that many.

This sounds like Republican spin on the Iraq War.  I say cut and run.

3 picks in one half. Freeman should not play.

Does anyone else feel like if Freeman comes in when we are behind it means we are giving up?

Starting him after this performance certainly feels like we're giving up on the season, that's for sure.

To me, starting him is our only chance at a bwl game.  Continuing to throw Dylan out there is giving up, IMO.

I only listened to the game, didn't actually see how he played.  But the stats and how it sounded sure are not good.  What possible reason could you have to think he'll lead us to a bowl?  Meier might or even probably will not, but Freeman is sucking beyond belief at the moment.

i can see why Prince didn't want to waste a redshirt on Freeman, that would have been plain stupid to leave talent like that on the bench to mature.

i have to think Evridge would have been better this year after a year under his belt, remember how much Snyder loved Allan? 

Hopefully, josh will work through the growing pains this year and be ready to take a step forward next year

WTF?  Freeman = Kerry Meier.

Barmaan is probably better than Dylan but they are both are best chances to win.  I think they've proven this.

Freeman has more potential, but just like Kerry throws TONS of interceptions.  Why are Dylan's numbers so unacceptable, but Golden Boy pick-a-thon ok?  Why not put in someone who can at least retain possession for the posibility of a first down, a drive and maybe by the ku game an offensive TD?

Dylan has done NOTHING to prove we have a better chance of winning with him.  At least Freeman has proven to have big play potential...two of his completions were our two longest of the year.

With Dylan, you have no chance to score, but you don't turn it over until you get into the redzone.

With Soul Glo, you have a chance to score, but you run the risk of turning it over before you get into the redzone.

I'm willing to take my chances with Freeman.

terrible analysis.

Freeman may show flashes of brilliance, but the games but running him out there to turn the ball over 5-6 times a game is the antithesis of winning.  I would submit to you, it is impossible to win games with this team turning the ball over 5-6 times a game.

With Dylan it is highly improbable that we will win the game, but not impossible.  With Freeman it is IMPOSSIBLE.

I see your point...we'll just have to agree to disagree.   

You think we're more likely to win scoring 3 points with 2 or 3 turnovers...I think we're more likely to win scoring 14 with 4 or 5 turnovers.

Also, Freeman's decision making will improve as the season goes on...that's much more likely than Meier's arm getting stronger.  It's still kind of the same thing as before...Meier *might* give us a better chance to win against Oklahoma State....but Freeman will give us a better chance to win against CU and ku once he gains experience.

I stand by my earlier comment: we're either going to lose one season to this debacle or two and no matter who starts or plays at QB we're unlikely to win another game this year.  If Freeman is a lost cause let's throw this season away discovering that fact rather than throwing this season away on a washed-up has-been who started out as a piss-poor QB then throwing next season away discovering that Freeman isn't the second coming of Chad May.

Yes, that Ron Powlus.  The one who started all four years thus accumulating more yards and TD's than any other Notre Dame quarterback and finishing off his career with a sterling 7-6 record as a senior.

All that experience gave him  a big head start in the NFL as well.

Wait...he had a subpar year as a senior under a new coach?  Hmmm....

Also, would giving him the Alex Gordon "don't rush him" treatment have allowed him to meet the ridiculous expectations placed on him?

Post by: plaincat on October 02, 2006, 01:19:18 PM
Freeman may have a new coach when he is a senior as well.

I don't want him to sit just for the sake of "not rushing him."  I just want him to win the position with a superior performance.  He certainly hasn't done that in the games, and according to J-Mart he hasn't done it in practice either.

He was 3 points worse than Dylan...but 100 yards better.

Post by: plaincat on October 02, 2006, 01:26:32 PM
He was 5 incompletions and 3 picks behind Meier.

I also think that rushing a player that is not ready can have bad effects in the future.  If you put Freeman in positions he is not ready for this year then his thoughts next year or after that are going to be more like "Oh crap, here we go again" rather than "I've waited to damn long for this moment."

Our defense will be so frustrated/tired/injured by the ku game if we keep Freeman in the rest of the way that they will roll over and die.

Great weekend.  GREAT weekend.

I drank champagne to excess two nights.

I do kind of feel like a retard for not going to the K-State game and watching the Tigers game while listening to K-State on the radio though.  Can I still post here after admitting that? :redface:

A quick recap:

2000 NU
2000 OU
2003 OU
2003 NU
2004 MU

1996 ku W
1996 BYU L
1997 OU W
1998 CU W
1998 MU W

2000 Tenn W
2002 CU L
2002 ku W
2003 Cal W
2004 ku L
2006 ku ?
13-4 Overall

Perhaps I am not going to enough road games and going to too many home games?

BTW:  the A&M loss should count for 100,000 losses and the Big XII Title for 50,000 wins.
