@wissox Crazy to think if we would finished those games they are trying to rename the stadium after Lance.

@DanR Yes, I don’t put the Mizzou game on him in the slightest. It goes back to the old verbiage of “you die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain” . Good assessment of him and Juan, I think the coaches said these are our guys at this spot and we are riding their coat tails no matter what.

After cooling off here’s the deal with JD this season, he played good enough for us to win 7 games and make a bowl. I am 100% certain of that, the problem is he will be a guy that I remember as Tony Romo of college football. He buckled under pressure pretty much everytime unfortunately. He was terrible last season and this season at times I thought he was much better and passed that type of play. Today and against KSU he reverted back to his old self. It sucks twice as bad because a mediocre game today we easily win. It’s hard to swallow with his experience as well, we easily beat Cincinnati if the defense shows up at all. But that was the whole defense that had trouble. Not very often in football can you circle one player and say if he just does his job, we win. Today was that for Jalon Daniels. He was finally healthy to start last season and given the keys to this program. It’s disappointing but he did not move the needle forward at all IMO. Most of his big games were pre injury against inferior opponents at home. I wrote up the Jason Bean redemption post after we wrapped up the 2023 season. I hoped to do the same today for Jalon, but it didn’t work out. Very sad day for all parties involved. This maybe the most disappointing season in KU football history, right up there with last season and 2009.

@approxinfinity the jury is still out on them, hopefully DP gets healthy and we continue to grow. Not sure I can handle another season of not competing in our conference. That was always the constant being a sports fan my whole life, the royal, chiefs and KU football stunk more often than not.

@DanR said in Utah blowout:

Still miles better than 5 years ago, but the last 2 seasons could’ve gone so differently.

See you all on the basketball side.

Rock Ckalk.

That’s the problem for me, we have dumped hundreds of millions into this program. New stadium, new locker rooms and new indoor practice facility. All to win 5 games a season. I’m sorry that’s unacceptable and a losers mentality IMO. It’s something KSUCK would celebrate and hang a banner over. I don’t think Leipold should be fired yet but DK better have a U-Haul in his driveway before the end of year.

I have a new idea for a haunted house in the Lawrence area, no clowns, no ghosts, no skeletons just multiple projector streams KU football the last two years. That maybe the scariest thing I’ve ever thought of.

@SlimShaddy54 a guy has to wonder if Cole or Zeke start and play that game does Kansas win going away?

@Jhawk69 said in Utah blowout:

@rockchalkjayhawk Whoever takes over will be better. JD is so bad that it is impossible to be worse.

That was bad enough if it leaked JD had money on Utah, I wouldn’t question it.

10/27 187 yards 1 touchdown and 3 interceptions for a 6th year senior. That maybe the worst line I have ever seen out of a guy with his experience. One of the worst QB performances in KU history IMO and I watched thru the 90s and early 00s

@rockchalkjayhawk that’s the problem like I said the two deep was loaded with seniors this season. A 3 win season is probably inevitable for next season and I would be okay with that if we had made bowls the last few seasons like we should have.

@Kcmatt7 JD threw 14 last season I believe and also lost like 6 fumbles 🤷🏻‍♂️

Then you get to 4th and ten and just sit on it. JD isn’t a n average D1 QB sorry but that’s a fact at this point. Yes playing for longer than any QB in Kansas history he was able to get to number 2 on most records.

@rockchalkjayhawk I think we fans should be entitled to compensation lol

Well it’s been another year of what if for Kansas football friends. Gosh I’m almost speechless, I had hope there for a bit. As Red says in Shawshank “hope
in here is a dangerous thing”

Now this year I wouldn’t put most of the losses on the offense. But those games we had a chance late and threw picks or fumbled inside the 5 the possession before.

@Kcmatt7 if we had an elite QB we are bowling the last two years. I’d take Bender or Stanley over JD they had much worse coaching and players around them.

Dr. Jekyll is back, don’t give up fellas, don’t give in

@kjayhawks said in Utah blowout:

I know I’ll get flack for it but I’m not sending JD back out there if I’m Leipold. Every single time he has been in this position in his career he follows up with another turnover via pick or fumble

I know y'all get mad at my negativity but once again I am correct. First pass play pick 6 smh, like clock work

Why even throw the GD ball??? Just run it and tie the game. The defense finally shows some resiliency and the offense craps their pants. JD is a great dude but we have to have someone else play QB.

Wrong read by JD

There defense has to be tired at this point we have held the ball almost for 40 minutes

@wissox said in Utah blowout:

There goes the refs replay machine.

Thank god lol

I know I’ll get flack for it but I’m not sending JD back out there if I’m Leipold. Every single time he has been in this position in his career he follows up with another turnover via pick or fumble

This is where we completely fall apart, am I stupid for expecting different two years of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory

Yes why throw that in play sorry but if we lose this game 2 red zone INTs is a huge reason as to why. Once again that’s a freshman type of play from a 6th year guy.

I love a healthy Hishaw

If you can muster anther TD here, all the pressure goes on them. Pressure turns into turnovers

Keep up the good play calls.

Any play that benefits Kansas must be reviewed, he bobbles it idk how you can over turned that.

Smh I feel it slipping away again friends, same song different verse. Now 3 possessions in Utah territory with no points. Call me negative but we are giving away another game aren’t we?

There is the Jekyll and Hyde of JD, easy first down on the third down if it is an accurate pass.

Kansas makes a play, gotta review it smh

Much better drive by JD there, nice pass and a few nice runs

@bskeet said in 2025 Chiefs:

The inconsistency in officiating was on full display and never more evident than if you watched the Chiefs/ Cowboys and the Bengals/Ravens back to back.

It was like the same game being adjudicated with two different rulebooks. The league needs to figure out what the hell is going on with offensive and defensive PI and holding…. Seriously, I think the crew of the Chiefs game should be investigated/reprimanded by the league.

Exactly what America thought after their turkey yesterday, lots of questioning if it isn’t all rigged like WWE after yesterday’s games.

It is imperative to not let up a touchdown on this first possession defensively. We can the throw the ball so we need to be able to run. I’m just worried those two redzone trips empty will end up being the difference. Should be 13-10 right now. What in the world happened o our kicker?

@wissox I’m just not gonna be happy when a 6th year guy makes a silly error in huge game. If that makes me a bad I guess it does. Part of it is I’m a coach and even great wins I can pick stuff most on he can’t especially in basketball.

@wissox I think that’s a fair assessment and I agree he hasn’t looked the same since the injury. He has been solid this year outside of the KSU where he was missing targets by dozens of yards.

Just keep running it fellas and hope we can get some more stops.

It’s hard for me to enjoy watching people make mistakes that they should know better. That being said if we can keep moving the ball here and get a touchdown we maybe okay. Me personally I’d bench him. I think Bean did way more than JD ever did by a wide margin. He won big games.

@wissox said in Utah blowout:

Looks like Jalon Daniels slander thread. Guess I won't chat today because I happen to think Jalon is one of the better QB's we've had.

I call it like I see it, a 6th year guy should know you can’t do that at this level. Most highschool QBs know that. I think JD has had his moments for sure but he has crumbled in big moments for me to say he’s a Jayhawk great. He has a lot of starts to inflate stats. His legacy is putting up numbers vs inferior teams while being a turnover machine in big games.

Two red zone trips, zero points. That maybe the game right there already, with our defense we couldn’t afford back to back empty trips

Don’t let him throw it again

Horrible read by JD keeping that smh

@Jhawk69 said in Utah blowout:

"Turning the ball over and getting 0 points is better than kicking a field goal and getting 3."
-Jalon Daniels

Can’t stare down your receivers, this isn’t middle school

Hey the defense held them to 3, that was a surprise. I told my son when we turned it on don’t be surprised to see Utah score 60 plus points

Ya JD just threw a pick 6 if the guy doesn’t fall down. Why do continue to send him out there we can’t win with his decision making. 6th year guy making freshman moves

Did anyone watch the Bengals ravens game? You could’ve called Dallas for at least 15 OPIs if this what it is 🐦 View Tweet?s=46
At this point does the NFL know wtf pass interference is?

@approxinfinity I’m not going to go back and forth all night on thanksgiving. Forgot to mention my buddy @KUSTEVE leaving. I’ll give credit this has gotten better but I myself took a few year hiatus because anytime anyone said something that could be interpreted as right wing was attacked seconds after hitting the post button. Because none of the problems in this country are caused by democrats. They are genius’s not like they been in control 12 of the last 16 years or anything. I didn’t like that and didn’t think it was a correct way of thinking. So I’ll leave it alone and leave you with a quote “when you cut out a man’s tongue, you don’t prove him a liar. You proved you are afraid of what he has to say”.

@approxinfinity I won’t argue but one is my brother and one is my cousins so whatever

So many good people left this board and won’t ever comeback due to politics. Several I know personally, several guys I miss @HighEliteMajor @stupidmichael @cragarhawk @jaybate-1-0 to name a few.
