It’s an absolute shame watching a once proud organization lose its way and cater to the minority mob. Going from grand old values to now catering the rich oligarchs. I mean the absolute hysteria befalling our very eyes is warranted. CB once had values of limited menus, southern hospitality, and accepting all who hold true the principles of our republic, regardless of state or nationality. But now, by dropping the old timer and following the main leader that is money and power, they have truly given up their soul. It’s a sad state of affairs. I mean it’s like we’ve never seen this before in our country. I mean I just cannot, for the life of me, think of an other grand ole organization that has ever done such a thing in my life…

What blows my mind concerning human life in this era is “some” people if not the majority are so focused on going viral and becoming the next trend setter that they lose sight on what’s morally right from wrong along with their own personal values in life…like why are we having issues determining who’s a man and who’s a woman? 🤣🤣 at 12 and 13 years old I was hiding behind dirt mounds with cap guns and playing travel baseball with kids I grew up with..not consulting some adult doctor telling me what is “ok” to say that I am…like i remember the early 90’s and 2000’s very well I don’t know how we got here at what turn we took but we’re F****ing lost my guy🤣🤣🤣 i could definitely go on but it just hurts talking about how much the world has changed its chaotic…teachers getting punched by kids,police officers being blacklisted for doing a extremely tough job that requires quick decisions, disrespect towards the elderly,illegals getting sanctuary in cities with FREE! Housing on taxpayer dollars mean while we have our own military vets who are homeless suffering from PTSD that get told to get “f***ed” by the VA just sucks man @Checker_the_Shire

Oh you think 372 yards across THREE years means he was a mobile qb? Lock had 286 in his 2 years under Heupel. You called Lock a statue…

For me any QB that can average 2.5 YPC for their career and over 1200 yards is a mobile QB. And in 26 games 372 yards is a lot more mobile than 41 games and -62 yards like JG or 24 games and -71 like Worley.

Lock IS a statue, it just proves your original point that Heupel’s offense doesn’t need an elite running QB, it makes every QB a serviceable mobile QB if they can read the RPOs.

I really just can’t bring myself to care that much. Growing up, I spent a lot of time on the road with my dad who was a truck driver, and I remember stopping at little mom and pop diners and truck stops all over the country. No matter where we went, there was always some old granny in the kitchen who knew my dad by name and was genuinely happy to see us.

Those places are dead and gone now, replaced by the Cracker Barrels, corporate gas stations, and chain restaurants trying to sell a “country” vibe they manufactured in a boardroom. To me, CB isn’t some proud institution losing its soul but part of what pushed the real thing out in the first place.

My hope is that one day we see a return to those small scale operations where the food, the faces, and the hospitality were actually real.

There’s not much of a difference between 2.2 (Lock) and 2.5. Both QBs played 26 games with Heupel as their coach with badically same yards per attempt

I’m just not sure how that makes Gabriel mobile (at the time) when Lock is for sure a statue

Gabriel 2.86 yd/attempt under Heupel
Lock 2.85 yd/attempt under Heupel

Lol

Lock had 96 carries for 234 yards, 2.44 yd/attempt in 16 & 17, when Heupel was there.

I’m so confused how my stating a statistical fact flipped you into this argument.

The Gabriel vs Lock is career vs career. One guy ran for less than 500 yards, one over 1200.

Under Heupel they were nearly identical, never disputed that point.

Heupel doesn’t need a mobile QB to have success, but between the 2 you mentioned Lock would be the only one I’d agree with not being a real mobile QB based on his career numbers.

You’re talking career and I was talking under Heupel so it’s comparing an apple to an orange

Gabriel was not a mobile qb under Heupel so I’m not sure what the initial point you had was. 372 over 26 games just isn’t being mobile in my opinion
