I know some people are really anti-mega high school, but I loved mine.


It isn't the "mega" alone that bothers me. It's the lack of opportunity for most kids to play sports. That school has 5x the number of students mine did in one less grade, and we were 4A (there was no 5A back then). Would I, hell could I, play football at AHS? Doubtful.

Kylar moves exactly like JFF. His footwork, throwing motion, cutting ability, the way he holds the ball, huge hands, speed, vision, 6th sense to move in the pocket, etc. are all so eerily similar to JFF that if you were just glancing at the tv then it would be easy to think you were watching high school JFF.

Watching the title game, I couldn't get over the similarities. It really is amazing how alike they are.

I mean if you're good enough, you'll play. Everyone makes the football team no matter what, but you don't play if you're really bad and don't work hard. My graduating class at Plano West was 950, so less than 500 males, and I don't think anyone really cared that they weren't starting on the football team. And there is a lot more to high school than football, a lot more sports to try, and if being a starter in all sports is super important, you can transfer, but I've found most people like it more often than not. It's a competitive world, and I liked that my high school was competitive.

That book of Manning stuff of Archie reminds me more of Manziel than Kyler does, but they both have really good balance.

Shut your whore mouth!



Yeah, I started. Most of the team started. That's pretty much the point. And transfer? To where? I can just see that conversation: "Hey, Pop! I'm not getting to play enough. How 'bout you move the family to Ft. Worth? Sound good to you?"

Then pick another sport, or pick something else you're good at. It's really not that bad as it sounds not being able to start on every sports team just because you are enrolled. Promise.

It took me 30 years to find something I was good at, and I don't believe any HS yet has a cycling team! I understand what you're saying, I just know a lot of what I turned out to be was due to football and I loved every minute of it, even the getting stomped part. (And we did get stomped. A lot.)

watching that film made my mouth drop. Kid has talent. A mini Johnny Football. I hope he does pan out like Johnny because JFF is/was great for the sport. Keep ballin Kyler (EXCEPT FOR AGAINST BAMA)

Aggie fans..

Are you SURE he's better than Kyle Allen?

Idk. I think Kyle will probably be a better college player than Kyler.
