Garrett gilbert

[meangreen]

I have watched every game that Garrett Gilbert has played. The kid doesn't have it in the head to play D1 football. Period. He doesn't have the confidence or the "go get em" attitude.

[TIgreen01]

Why do we care? Isn't Gilbert a pocket passer type QB? McCarney has repeatedly said he prefers a mobile QB....granted, if a gem falls in your lap, you take him. But all signs point to that (gem) not being the case...

[Aquila_Viridis]

That dude is no gem or improvement over DT.

[emmitt01]

According to the SMU fan site he's on his way to be a pony.

I'm sure he'll be a superstar. After all, as some on this very board have argued, he signed with UT so he mist be the second coming. Nevermind game performance or statistical evidence...he was a longhorn dammit!!

[oldschoollefty]

That argument never works. The four star talent was facing four star talent.

Who is to say one way or another when SMU kids are lining up against comparable (SMU-like) talent.

Maybe the same results. Maybe not.

I wouldn't say that argument NEVER works. If he has 4 star skills, he is throwing the ball to 2 and 3 star receivers and being protected from 2 and 3 star defenders by 2 and 3 star offensive linemen. I don't see it as likely that his presence at SMUt or North Texas for that matter would necessarily elevate the entire program around him.

What a ridiculous statement. I really like DT a lot and think he has potential. But just a crazy statement.

Wow.

What have you seen that makes this statement ridiculous?

Not Rivals.

Not that he was a Longhorn.

What, on the field, have you seen?

I saw one game...when was it...ohhhh...ummmm....it was....ehhhh...oh wait, I remember now. I believe it was the NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP GAME.

Anyone who thinks this wouldn't be an improvement over DT is on something that I would like to try.

KA-POW! Truth, thy name is G.J. Kinne! Couldn't beat out Colt McCoy at Texas...looked like a Heisman candidate against us even with a bum knee. Led Tulsa to a 10 win season against C-USA level talent.

I'd welcome Gilbert here. And, I'm sure June Jones wouldn't mind having him at SMU either.

No brainer if he's interested.

He would immediately push for the starting spot against Thompson, and relegate Osbourn & McNulty to the bench permanently.

You're giving Gilbert the credit for UT playing/being in that game?

[PlummMeanGreen]

I believe I read on another message board that he has already committed to transferring to...................smu.

GMG!

[Dr. Seuss]

Ive been a huge DT fan (or Dwhip as I call him) from day one, but you have to be smoking more mean green crack than any addict on the streets if you think that DT is better than Gilbert. Im sorry DT is good but it wouldnt be close. Mac and chico want a mobile qb, I dont see us even talking to him...

[BDPG]

We have at least two mobile QB's on the roster that do not even play QB on this team. I am not sure what Chico or Mac want at QB.

[EagleD]

I've seen a few games Gilbert has played both HS and college. In HS his receivers were tall and fast. He just needed to throw it high and let em go get it. In college those DB's are taller and faster. GG couldn't keep up. No doubt about it, he's got skills and June Jones will develop him nicely, but I don't think he fits our system.

Mobile QB that can throw well. Hard to find.

I prefer a canon arm that has a lot of mobility.
