Scheelhaase looked pretty good in their bowl. Hell I would take that kid right now. Weren't we on him pretty hard?? He looks much more advanced than Taylor does.
The Taylor Martinez 205 is complete BS!! They even said it during the Holiday Bowl. He's more like 185.

Thanks for embedding the video suhfan93. Man I just watched that again and got a chub.
I'm telling you right now, if Carnes is able to learn the Offense(preferably a new one, not Watsons) he will be our starter by the start of Conference play next year. Man, if that guy doesn't remind you of a Tyrod Taylor, Dennis Dixon, Charlie Ward, dare I say T. Fraz.
His on the move passing looks unbelievable. His major downside is the fact that he may not throw from the pocket enough, therefore looking to scrammble too much and either passing on the run or tucking it. The biggest thing for him is putting on weight which shouldn't be a problem with another winter, spring, and summer, and then learning to step up in the pocket to throw first, run second.
I say Carnes, Jamal Turner, and Bubba(fingers crossed) are the biggest reasons for gettting rid of Watson. Watson's playbook sucks and I haven't seen him develop anyone at QB(really don't believe he helped Ganz all that much). Let's get rid of him before he screws up any more of our QB recruits!!
although i completely agree, the dreaded off season is here...and Wats is still here too...damit!

Lets hold off on comparing him to anybody else until he sees a college snaps. In the video he is man among boys.... it will be just the opposite when/if he takes a snap this fall.

After the last freshman QB (redshirt) we had start this season, I am going hold off in crowning him the next Tommy Frazier!

If you would have read my post carefully, you would have noticed I said this offense can work, because it has worked. That does not mean it will/will not work in the future, I am simply saying that it has the potential to work.
Yes, Oklahoma St's defense isn't really that good, but what does that matter when the pocket is collapsing? Taylor's ability to step up in the pocket and deliver an accurate pass downfield has NOTHING to do with the skillset of the players. Sometimes Taylor is indecisive, sometimes he isn't, and those things occur against both good and bad defenses. Why? I don't know, that falls on Watson. But, as my original post stated, we CAN be successful. Taylor CAN make the right decisions, CAN make the throws, and CAN kill other teams with his legs.
The scheme isn't the problem, it's executing that scheme weekly. I would think that it's pretty hard to argue that. Look at Washington as the best example. One time it worked, one time it failed. That's our problem, and that's why Shawn Watson needs to go. Not because he doesn't know offense or his X's and O's, but because it only works about 1/3 of the time for a reason nobody seems to be able to figure out.

Washington is 71st in total defense, that puts them in the 40th percentile. Oklahoma St is in the 27th percentile. That puts them in both the same quartile and quintile. Statistically speaking, they're pretty dang similar to each other.
So why did we get dominated in the Holiday Bowl?

I did read it carefully and using the Okie Lite game as potential of what this offense can do.... doesnt fly. You think maybe the reason is Taylor can make those throws, runs, and reads is because of Okie Lite's terrible defense. You might as well be comparing to WKU, Idaho, KState, the first quarter of the mizzou game.
the reason this offense didnt work against Washington is because. 1. They have gotten better as the season has gone on. 2. They have film on how to STOP this offense. 3. They were confident in what they needed to do stop Nebraska, something that didnt happen the first game. Why were they confident... see reason 2. Thats what alot defenses had against us later in the season.
After KState we didnt really lite anybody up offensively for 4 quarters. When we faced a team that has a well coached defense, we had alot of issues.

Im aware of that..... Im just saying that Okie Lites defensive numbers are terrible for a BCS school. 61st in scoring, 88th in total defense. Thats far from average..... im just pointing that out.
If you give up a ton of yards... more than likely you are gonna give up a ton of points.
The difference between 61st and 88th in scoring defense...... not even 4pts a game. I dont think thats worthy of making them an average defense. Giving up 26 pts a game is still horrible on defense.
Also the arizona game is counted twice on the NCAA stats so these are alittle schewed.

Manatee is in Florida's largest class. Talent laden is putting it nicely. His senior year he beat the number one ranked team in the nation with a last second touchdown pass so while it doesn't guarantee greatness I think it does say something. That he could play so well in the toughest and largest division of high school football in Florida. One of the best states in the country in terms of producing top h.s. football talent.
This is what his high school coach had to say. I love that Carnes seems like a team player and not an individualist.
Carnes HS QB coach:
And whatever happens, Carnes will surely be close to the action. According to Chris Conboy, Carnes missed a couple of weeks as a junior when he suffered a concussion. Even then, he stayed with the team every day. When the second team took the field in practice, Carnes kept his place in the backfield. Same with the third team.
"He didn't miss a single practice in the spring," Conboy said. "He was just a very consistent, durable guy. Everybody knew he was going to be there for every rep."
