I have seen a lot of people calling for Dylan Thompsons head and blaming him after this loss. I have this to say to you: 1) Football is a team sport. You play as a team. You win as a team. You lose (fill in the blank..) This loss was no one mans fault. Dylan Thompson didnt drop a catchable touchdown pass and drop a few others (Rory Anderson). Dylan wasnt responsible for the bonehead call to go for it and set mizzou up for the first TD in the first qtr. (Not to mention the offsides after the pick that kept that drive alive). Its not Dylans fault the defense got complacent after we went up 13. 2) How much better can you do than him? U doubt any of us could have done better. Especially under the pressure he was under in the last possession. And for darn sure Connor Mitch and Perry Orth couldnt. No experience and an O line that was playing sub par? Wed have been blown out. 3) yes. Dylan Thompson didnt have his best game. And Im sure hes just as disappointed as us. But come on... Im sure if it were Connor Shaw, you wouldnt be calling for him to be benched... Dylan is not Connor. Its unfair to compare him to Connor. 4) Its ok to have big expectations after the success weve had, but we cant let that cloud reality. Reality is, we are young and not as talented. 5) if youre throwing in the towel, bye bye. We wont miss you. Dont let the door hit you in the tail on the way out. Bottom line: this was a team loss. Its not Dylans fault entirely. If youre calling for heads, then the whole team and coaching staff better be who youre calling for. Really, if youre doing that, go pull for someone else, rethink your life priorities, or both. Support the team or get out. At the end of the day, its only a sport, and were only fans. Cutting down a bunch of college students in comments is stupid when we aint out there with them.
