'18 CA QB Adrian Martinez

[volfaninpa]

Umm if I can recall , I said that way before Hubbs podcast or whatever he said about OU . And I don't even listen to Hubbs podcast actually .

That's because you are Austin Price.

 

[JRVOL11]

In the NFL? That's what we're talking about here. Yes

their college success is way better then our QB's .

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

College success, maybe, but NFL success is pretty scant. And when did post-Manning become 30 years? Only been by my count.

Manning doesn't fit his narrative

I had said 20 earlier. That's what I meant. Typo

Okay, but not what we're taking about here. And I'd argue that Dobbs had a very good college career

 

[sanddune50]

You'll take them over a Heisman trophy winner ?

These guys were Heisman trophy winners as well. How did their NFL career pan out?

Matt Leinart, Andre Ware, Jason White (undrafted), Rashaan Salaam, Eric Crouch, Ty Detmer, Troy Smith and Gino Torretta just to name a few.

And who wasn't a Heisman trophy winner? Peyton the GOAT Manning

Lol. You guys wonder why we can't have a gentlemans discussion.

I clearly said post Manning.

Heieman trophy hype has to be included. College success over NFL career isn't really a debate

Why? Since when has a Heisman Trophy guaranteed NFL success. You're changing the argument. You said OU had "put a boatload of QBs in the league". Why does Heisman hype need to be included?

Bruin 20 years takes you back to 97. Refresh my memory on who our QB was that year?

[Ron Swanson]

He's in the middle of some school stuff so I don't think he does anything this week. If he makes news next week you gotta like the Vols chances because he hasn't seen ou.

I already apologized and said the boatload line was poorly worded.

My original point is playing qb at QU has been better than playing QB at Tenn in the last 20 years. Imo that is clear.

Got some snowflakes up in here..

Well, I think that is pretty obvious. OU has played for a couple national titles in that span while we have experienced one of the worst droughts in program history.

I think that the biggest issue with your statement was that OU had put more QBs in the NFL and the insinuation that they experienced more success there too. While their collegiate success may have been more impressive, their NFL careers and number of QBs put into the league are not.

-Hubbs

Hubbs bracing for the pending doom.

 

[EricberryFAN]

Being a QB at Tennessee > QB at Oklahoma.

They beat us twice.

That's simply hasn't been true the last 20 years. Post Manning OU has sent a boat load of QBs to the league.

I was talking about the stage. I would rather be a QB at UT than OU and I'm trying not to be biased. SEC>Big 12,
Neyland>Gaylord Family Memorial.

I don't think guys look that far back on the success at their position at a school. I know that I would just look at the recent success and coaching staff. We have a QB coach now and hopefully we put some production out there this year and make a statement with another QB other than Dobbs.

Agreed. As I said my first post on the subject was faulty

 

[sanddune50]

Also worth noting that defenses in the SEC are far superior to those in the Big 12. Makes it easier for QBs to put up video game numbers when teams are only worried about one side of the ball.

Taking over for mayfield is a nice thing to sell as well for OU.

Gotta wait on Kyler Murray also .

 

[Catbone]

Welp. That sounds about right

 

[BruinVol]

Always easier to sell competing against a non starter than one that already has been a starter like QD or JG.

 

[JRVOL11]

At the end of the day the reason I think we missed out on so many QB's is simply because of ... Jarrett Guarantano.

 

[EricberryFAN]

They have Austin Kendall and Kyler Murray. He'll have a decent amount of competition to compete with at both schools.

Pros for OU
-Has a buddy there
-Closer to home(at that distance I don't think it would matter that much between the two schools)
-Being the only QB taken in his class.

Hopefully we can get him to see the difference in the atmosphere at an actual game. That should win him over if he's on the fence about anything.
