With his experience last year there is a small chance of improvement but my god I don’t know if I can watch another season of cook at qb wasting a fantastic defense. I’m holding out hope on Horn but with drinkwitz he’s so damn stubborn at qb.

The OL. Also, you keep citing a 4 game stretch with 39 rushing attempts for 3 yards. Assuming you're referring to Auburn-Vanderbilt stretch. He was sacked 13 times during that time period. Unlike the NFL, sacks count against rushing yards for a QB, not passing. Last edited by Rams Fan; 08-18-2023 at 01:38 PM.. |

Dre Kirkpatrick Jr. committed to Bama…thought we had a real shot at him but can’t blame him.

That or he was being intentionally disingenuous because, as I previously noted, he's a miserable ****. Coin flip odds, really.

I'm not sure how being frustrated with a coach that feels the need to keep trotting out a QB that sucks shit is me being miserable. Especially when 75% of fans have an issue with it. You seem to have some weird bias about the whole thing and I'm not sure what it is. You being fine with the kid starting when he hasn't shown any signs that he can be anything more than average is weird, especially coming from you. |

Yes, Drinkwitz missed on QBs for 2022 and it remains TBD what happens for 2023. Yes, QB play needs to improve long term. Yes, Cook is an average FBS starter. That doesn’t change the fact that he’s the best guy on the roster currently to be QB1 (unless/until someone proves otherwise) and playing someone else who may not be ready to be QB1 only further risks the team losing guys via transfer. If OL is decent and the support cast as a whole improved from last season, no reason for this team to not win 6-8 games with Cook. 2024 is when the pressure should be on. |

The risk is more at the end of their first year enrolled at the school in question, IMO, than while they're still in HS. You're really talking about a period between September and December, of 3 months, when they could be getting NIL and still sign elsewhere. I suspect you won't see the whole NIL package dropped in those fall months... some of it, sure. And maybe benefits that can be rescinded.

Pretty stellar ****ing news tonight. Horn and Cook will both play week 1 and battle it out for starting QB. Color me completely and totally surprised! Happy as hell too though.

It's 3 dang recruiting cycles and during 2 of those he's managed to get extremely high end QB talent that may/may not be ready yet. And it seemed as though Horn and his family didn't really WANT to be starting last year. Oh, and it looked for all the world when he arrived like he HAD a high-end QB in Bazelak who simply didn't work out here or elsewhere after he transferred. Y'all act like he's missed on a half-dozen quarterback choices. Horn's his first spin of the wheel and there's a really good chance that he or Garcia end up starting meaningful games for this team as early as mid-season. Nobody is saying he's the CLEAR right answer. But it's just so nutty to sit here and insist he clearly isn't already. The program's growth has been exponential over the last few years. He's racking up high-end receiving/running talent and has now seemingly started making great progress on the defense. He's GETTING excellent QB talent to come here to boot. Y'all wanna toss him out of here like he's Kim Anderson and that's simply not fair.

ESPN did their record predictions today and have Mizzou going 5-7 with a 2-6 conference record….
