Waiting till the 4th quarter to figure out we might need to pressure the QB also had something to do with it. Didn't Gabbert set some Missouri bowl records?

We were just setting him up for the big INT return.

Well the coaches did make an adjustment on D but RS was credited with two picks and probably should have been five.
I have to agree that the blitzes worked pretty well on Gabbert but a blitz also gave up an easy TD run for them as well.
If Mizzou doesn't prove to be inept at gifts the game was locked into an L.
RS panicked and started throwing the ball around. I am surprised the NFL guys think he has the talent to play on the next level. He was a good leader and he managed the games well but he is no where near the talented thrower that Gabbert of others are.

No crap, I think of all things last year, that was the most baffling. Coker was the first half MVP of that game and it wasn't even close.

Instead we decided to let a concussed and confused ARob get hammered the entire second half. I will never understand that. Also, Stanzi made some horrible throws that cost us the ability to put more points on the board.
I love KOK's comments about Vandy..."he's been extremely accurate"...I don't believe anyone ever accused Ricky of that. I'm not hating on Stanzi here...just calling it as I see it. Rick made alot of plays in his career at critical times...unfortunately he often put himself or the team in a position where he needed to make the great play.

Stanzi was a good QB, but I don't think we'll have that much drop off this year. Vandenberg and Derby are both excellent athletes with strong arms.
The comment that Missouri was not a Big Ten defense baffle me. They had one of the best defenses in the country, shutting down an explosive Oklahoma team.
No, I agree, they weren't a Big Ten defense. They were better than that!!!

Really because quite frankly they along with 3 other Big 12 defenses gave up 220 to 280 yards rushing to 4 teams from other conferences...not so impressive really! That doesn't happen to often against Big 10 defenses, though I wish it did. I'd say his comment was valid.
Really fellas you can go back game by game and find flaws, that's what coaches do. We did a lot of things right against Missouri and some wrong, but we didn't "just" figure them out at the end of the game. We made some plays. Everyone thinks there are some magical personnel decisions or play calls that had they been called would have somehow delivered us a 30 point win but it doesn't work like that. I guess that's why we punch key boards and they coach, eh?!?!

PS....I've watched a lot of games, you could make all these comments for every team and they'd be right and wrong both at the same time. We see a snap shot in time, it ain't that simple, if it were I'd be coaching.

This. Their defense was built to stop the spread, which is the offense of choice in the Big 12. When those defenses face a team that will punch them in the mouth? They fold.

I tend to remember Ricky as the first QB in Hawk history to win 3 consecutive bowl games. I think Gabbert guided his team to consecutive bowl games . . . can anyone tell me how Mizzou did in those games?

Thats how you evaluate a person's indiviual abilities?
RS is a good leader as I said. He is not an elite Qb with obvious NFL ability.
Can he be a success? Certainly, but his talents on the level of the NFL are not obvious.
I hope he has all the success in the world but the 'RS is a god' attitude is just not true. Iowa changed their passing game away from the short passes in a congested area because he couldn't reliably throw them. They simply didn't put him in situations he was likely to throw one last year.

Ding, ding, ding, and its not just this board or our fans. Lot of dim bulbs out there and they try to pooh-pooh it by suggesting we are saying more than we are. No one has suggested Ricky is any more than the scouts think he could be, no god, not automatic (no one is) etc......bitter people, poor fans and not very sharp.

Chad is the end result of all the gov't social engineering self-esteem classes. Tons of self-esteem for accomplishing little other than telling everyone you're better than they are.

This is what I think it was...it was a pretty brutal month on the PR front, and a tough two months on the 'underperformed' front. He was proud.

I never said he was a God. I said Ricky won every bowl game he started in and Gabbert lost every bowl game he started in. Obviously that doesn't prove anything about the future. Just like people making claims about Gabbert's talents doesn't prove anything. I've seen people bash Ricky for his bowl performance while forgetting what he did against GT and SC. I make no predictions on Gabbert/Stanzi - but I also judge people by what they've done . . . not by what some cyber-stranger's crystal ball says they will do.
