Jalen Hurts

I love Shane but if he — or any Texas QB — were to choose to transfer to a Big 12 team that would be distasteful to me. Unless a player was completely mistreated by his previous school (and we probably wouldn’t know if they were), I don’t like the message being sent by an in-conference transfer. I wasn’t thrilled when Bonney stayed in conference but perhaps TH blessed the move.

I’m not talking about rules. I’m talking about respect and etiquette.

I wouldn't want a kid to transfer to a school we're playing, period. Knows too much about your team and gives the other team an advantage. If I were a coach, I'd say no to that.
 
I was okay with OU blocking the transfer of that QB to West Virginia. I also do not think players should be allowed to transfer to a school on their former team’s future schedules during their remainder of eligibility. I do not think this standard is unfair.

Not going to happen.

Mayfield (the jerk) had great presence, saw the field extremely well and was a very accurate passer. Murray (the entitled one) was extraordinary elusive with a great arm. Hurts, while talented, possesses neither of these advanced skill sets. Further, he won’t have the OL in front of him that Murray had. Riley is good, but he is not the genius many seem to suggest. Look for him to come back down to earth in 2019.

While I do expect Hurts to be good, he won’t be at a Heisman level, and he may never beat Texas.

If Shane wants to be close to home, be starting QB in a D1 program and TCU was the only option to do that then good for him. Luckily SMU had that option for him instead. Good for us. :smile1:
 
To the degree that every successful QB is dependent upon an excellent online I agree Hurts won't have the success of his predecessors because of the loss of the OL talent but I'm not downplaying Hurts' talent. The kid is darn good, albeit not the speed of Kyler and close but not the accuracy of Tua. Both of which will be amplified if the OL turns out to be a weak link in the offense. In other words, I think the kid is above just good and sorry he
