    I think he wins in a landslide. That picture; that moment in the Cotton Bowl is forever etched. Of course, there much more to the award. But from an optics standpoint it will be tough for anyone to overcome that moment.

    Having a running game might get him back. Hopefully Roschon and Bijan go for 350

    If that story is true...Weighing options? He is coming back.

    I tend to agree. And if he comes back, that would make him one of the most legendary, ************* Longhorns of all time in my book...

    One more year, Sam
    If he comes back, I’ll take some screen shots of the knuckleheads here who wanted him gone to repost about this time next year.

    I think it really depends on what his draft stock is like and with the struggles he had its hard to see him going in the early rounds. I would love to have him back and with a full spring to get the offense and a full off season without the covid craziness perhaps he can improve significantly his draft stock.

    I'm with @WorsterMan here. Who wanted him gone? Some of us have had legitimate observations about his passing skills and decision making at times. I believe none of us have ever questioned his heart or loyalty. So, who are the knuckleheads?

    If he does come back, let's see the same game plan that we saw vs KSTATE. Short passes, good run blocking for Johnson &Robinson. Let the short passes and running with your 5 star back set up the play action fake to throw over the top. But we won't see that happening, we will see the 25 yard out called on 3rd and 6 because Coach Mensa knows more than all of us. He thinks that between the hashes is a illegal play or a QB sneak is illegal too.

    Look, I was not actually going to post the knuckleheads verbatim as everyone has their opinion- just poking tff he em to see if they wanted to chime back in here

    Go look at these 2 posts, there were more arguments I had, but I can’t find them right now.

    My favorite- and these are thread topics chocked full of Tom foolery-

    “QB Stuff”

    More nonsense:
    “Sam Ehlinger hasn't gotten any better since his sophomore year”

    Someone stated that Sam was only starting because he was born in Texas....geez.

    I hate to be a bearer of an ugly prediction, but re covid, 2021 will look IDENTICAL to 2020. I personally think the nation is in an overreaction, but I am outnumbered by far, especially among our decision-makers. 95% of USA hasn’t even been exposed yet; if 2020 was about that first 5%, don’t you think at least another 5% will still be exposed no matter what else is happening on vaccines or cures?

    so, I don’t expect a normal spring, summer or fall in 2021. What is going to change in 90 days?

    having a QB with four years prior starting experience would actually be an amazing advantage in that situation where no one can prepare properly

    If he does come back he needs to be willing to audible out of more of those BS, head-scratching plays the coaches send him. Be like Aaron Rodgers and roll your eyes at them mf’ers on the sideline and run what makes sense.

    It would be fantastic if Sam comes back. Without Sam, our QB room is quite thin, and has very little game experience; even less passing experience in college games.

    And if Sam comes back does Card or Thompson hit the portal?
    Maybe Sam IS coming back and that's why JQJ transferred.
    Our QB room could look even worse if he does return and then what does it look like the next year when he does leave?
    I love Sam and his passion.
    But I'm not convinced his return is the best thing for this team in the long run.

    Sam loves the school, loves being the quarterback for UT, may not have any aspirations to play at the next level and knows as long as he’s here, he has no competition. So no incentive to get better, to prove anything to NFL scouts. Just one more year at his dream school doing his dream job. He’s not ready to give that up.

    Baloney! He has every right to expect to play in the NFL and you are dead wrong about him choosing not to improve because there was no incentive.

    If Sam returns it should be as player coach. He has the character to do it but I don’t think TH does.

    UT OWES Sam the right to come back. If players bail, that a choice on their part.

    This kids been through more nonsense than any other player in the history of collegiate athletics.

    Yes make Sam the HC and let TH learn as an intern what leadership is.

    Gotta feeling Sam doesn’t return if Herman stays.

    You mean interception in the flat for a TD at the most critical part of the game Simms?
