Quinn was maddeningly unpredictable and erratic. World beater one minute, timid the next, stupid decision the next, followed by a gutsy run or unbelievable throw. He was never a steady presence on the field.
But he was a steady presence off the field. With all of the potential for Arch drama, he always carried that part with a steady hand. He was QB1 and repped the position, the team, and the university well. He also steered the team from dogshit recent history to two consecutive playoff appearance, beat the hell out of our rivals, won at Bama and Michigan, and give us a victory lap around the Big 12 and a conference championship appearance year one in the SEC. Just because our expectations were higher doesn't diminish any of that. Getting us those victories, and being the steady leader on and off the field -- that solidifies him as a BAMF in my book. As much as I'm looking forward to what the future holds for Texas football, I damn sure appreciate what Quinn gave us, and I hope he has a great NFL future.
