Committing at a view count? Ok

I think it’s fair to say Ehlinger and Ewers are close in terms of “overall college QB” to date. I think saying Ehlinger is clearly the better QB of the two is nonsense. 

I have the exact same thoughts, but in the opposite direction. Some act like it’s Quinn in a landslide because of the 12-2 playoff season. Which is why I’m giving context to Sam at Texas.

Here are two big ones that tell the story.

Quinn Ewers Defense rankings as a starter 

2022  - 28th 

2023 - 15th 

2024 - 1st 

1,000 yard runners: two, Bijan 1,580 - 2022 & Jonathon Brooks 1,139 - 2023 

Sam Ehlinger Defense rankings as a starter 

2017 - 30th 

2018 - 58th 

2019 - 67th 

2020 - 61st

1,000 yard runners: None in 4 years

Ty Jerome went crazy again.

 

It's nice to have 3 all-star caliber guards to rotate with.

you clearly werent at the ohio state game in '06.

Texas were given advance notice there were so many fucking ohio state fans showing up without tickets, wandering around aimlessly that UT opened up Frank Erwin to broadcast the game in there for those without actual game tickets.

The result was something like 20-25k buckeyes made it into the stadium and another 17k fucking wandering around all the now virtually empty tailgates, helping themselves to anything they saw they liked, dropping shit all over the place totally trashing the entire state parking lot areas that whole box area MLK south between  Brazos and Red River all the way to 15th st.

we always tailgated  in Lot 80 near the swim center, and the social work building (which I think back then was either a daycare or afterschool place for UT parents), which for the 4 years previously we had tailgated there, had their doors unlocked to allow us to use the bathrooms, which was fucking awesome.

the bathrooms were trashed after that game, and those doors stayed locked every gameday after then until we were kicked out in 2014 when the cooling towers took out most of Lot 80

 

the entire fucking UT parking area of like 20 square blocks was an absolute trash warzone.   It hadnt happened before, through 2014 it never happened again, but we got punished because those fucking ohio trash hitchhiked their ass from ohio to austin without a ticket, shit all over, and never returned.    I guess they did that because we won the year before and they trashed their entire campus that night... and they felt like they had to trash our campus and tailgate area because they had won here that night?  I guess they live to trash win or lose....

 

 

I’m not expecting anything to improve in the 20 years between 2006 and 2026.

Passing yards in a game

Sam 249/gm, Quinn 244/gm.  Night and day, right?

I hope that leaves enough time for Sark to get the 18 Wheeler package integrated into our offensive schemes. 

1. His hips are rotated incorrectly. He was clearly looking at Helm (2)

2. Helm was super covered. But if his hips were rotated correctly he could have easily hit the crossing route (3).

3. This is a touchdown with a good pass. Instead it’s a sack.

I was there. Texas fans were quiet and Nebraska fans were all talking because nobody thought Texas could beat them. Except we own them. They didn’t like it. 

Was there too and took the words right out of my mouth. 
Taylor Martinez was so awful for them (but not as awful as his receivers that day)

Fun fact: Nebraska was #5 heading in to that game. They haven’t been ranked in the top 5 since.

I don't have a dog in this hunt, I rooted for both guys, but statisticall (QB Rating) Quinn is currently ahead of Sam (149.7 vs 145.0).

Cue the "QB rating is stupid" responses, and it may very well be, but if we're talking statistics, it's really stupid to look at cumulative career numbers given the radically different # games played.

You can drill it down however you want and Sam still clears. Passing yards in a game, passing yards in a season, TDs in game, TDs in a season. When you add in the rushing yds/tds it’s not close at all.
