This is the same dude that was 16/2 and 1800+ yards in 8 games before this? I’m not buying it. Jimbo stole the team Weigman on his way out

[u/Deviljho12 → u/bigkat_2020]

This is gonna be the best defense he's gonna face all regular season, I'd say let Elko and Weigman get a few more games before making some proclamations

[u/lkn240 → u/Deviljho12]

The defense had nothing to do with him being 5 yards off even on wide open checkdowns. There's either something wrong with him or he's just terrible.

[u/Battered_Aggie → u/lkn240]

I kinda wonder if he wasn't feeling great. He did puke his guess out after the TD.

That said, I wish they had just pulled him. If he can't pass, he's worthless. We have 2 QBs that are great runners behind him.

[u/Skringtongler → u/lkn240]

Something’s wrong with him. He was shredding defenses last season before his injury. This is like a totally different player than ‘23 Weigman.

Also, I thought that was some pretty shitty broadcasting ethics when they aired him zoomed in puking on the field. That was a weird choice.

[u/thrav → u/Skringtongler]

They showed it to demonstrate that he was probably sick and playing through it, which tracks with his performance. My Dad and I were commenting that he looked exhausted throughout the 1st quarter. When they showed him puking, we felt validated. Bet he had Covid or a fever.

[u/ExpensiveCover950 → u/Skringtongler]

I remember Sports Illustrated had a similar feature picture of - I think - Tim Couch when he played for the Browns.

I just think it helps show the average person out there what these guys go through to compete and the willingness they have to try to help their team win.

[u/[deleted] → u/ExpensiveCover950]

There was a rather massive SI photo of Cade McNown upchucking playing for UCLA against (I think) Oregon back in the day. It was hilarious.

[u/ExpensiveCover950 → u/[deleted]]

That's the exact one I was thinking of - you have a better memory than I do.

[u/[deleted] → u/ExpensiveCover950]

For whatever reason a middle school gym teacher of mine posted it in the locker room so I saw it many many times.

[u/thecarlosdanger1 → u/Skringtongler]

Who did he shred though? Didn’t he rack up stats against non-P5 teams? I think he’ll be better than tonight for sure though.

IMO he looked super shaky any time he was even pushed off his spot by pressure let a lot truly hurried.

[u/seaslug1 → u/Skringtongler]

Idk. I wasn't too impressed with him before his injury last year if I'm being honest.

[u/sweet_cheekz → u/seaslug1]

Agree. Was more impressed when Henderson had his turn.

[u/HoustonHorns → u/seaslug1]

Not sure why you’re being downvoted. He was totally mediocre against P5 opponents. Lots of maroon koolaid consumed after a big win over ULM.

[u/cantstopwontstopGME → u/Skringtongler]

“Shredding defenses” is sure giving him a LOT of credit in a 7-5 year

[u/HoustonHorns → u/bigkat_2020]

Go look at his stats against P5 opponents

[u/lukewarmstyle → u/HoustonHorns]

Too much work. Tell me they’re awful and I will believe you

[u/Reasonable-Corner716 → u/HoustonHorns]

I don’t know why so many fans ignore this, and act like it’s a foregone conclusion that weigman is a stud. He’s shown some flashes, but he hasn’t done much against P4/5 competition and he certainly hasn’t won much. Last night to me he looked fat, out of shape and clumsy, with terrible footwork and mechanics.
