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?

[plaincat]

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.

[plaincat]

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."

See David Clyde.

the risk/reward with freeman makes more sense due to how our defense is playing well enough to still keep us in the game. 
at least i think that makes sense.

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.

i think the same would happen with dylan, but i believe we will score more points with freeman no matter how many mistakes he makes.

Can't score anything when you throw it to the other team.

Makes me wonder where 22 of Freemans passes went to Saturday!

KK,

Are you thinking you'd like a do-over on this thread?!   

By the way, thank the fair-weathered who sold me the rest of their season tickets.  I would have paid $60 just to see last Saturday's game!

Tigers win.  K-State wins.  ku loses.

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?

I know, but think about it.  K-state has some serious mojo when I stay home and wish I was there.

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.

Granted, we were down at half.  We had NFL talent then.  Darren Howard.  Simenau.  Fatafehi.  Beisel wasn't even a superstar here and he's still in the league for chrissakes!  Jeremetrius Butler LEFT EARLY and it confused everyone! 

Imagine the things above happening now.
