I love Ty as a young man and truly hope he is successful in life but I think right now Texas needs a quarterback with a little bit more energy and enthusiasm. He just doesn't convey a whole lot of confidence.
A lot of people have very high expectations for Heard that are not yet borne out by his performance. Don't think for a minute that if Heard could outperform Swoopes he would not be playing.
Im not so sure Cherry. I would like to think that is the case. Watson has been proven to be very fond of Swoopes just hearing the interviews. I believe he even said hes like a son to me. The reporter did ask CS if Watson's judgement to play Swoopes was being clouded by his feelings for Swoopes.
I would love to believe this but in the case but I'm not sure Watson isn't to emotionally invested in Swoopes. More like a father is to a son.
I get what you're saying but we truly do not know what Heard can bring us until he is given the opportunity, which he has not been given thus far. What we do know beyond a shadow of a doubt(at least in my mind) is that Swoopes cannot play high quality football. We do know that he does not have "IT." He has been given plenty of opportunity to shine and has failed miserably. He has been given way beyond the benefit of the doubt, ability wise.
With Charlie Strong's limited involvement in the offense, the evaluation of Heard is entirely that of Shawn Watson. I do not trust Watson's perspective on anything.
