All time Texas QB Ranking Discussion - 2025
Thatguy replied to BurntOrange&White's topic in Football
Complete hyperbole. This version of OU isn't close to how bad Blake's teams were. Blake's teams went 3-8, 4-8, and 5-6. Last year's OU team was one Bedlam loss from being in the college football playoff themselves. They aren't a bad team. They are a decent team with bad QB play. Put Gabriel back on that team and they win 10 games this year. When I said 3rd I mean of our time. If you are bringing Street and Layne into this then Colt isn't second. There is no way Sam Ehlinger is better than Ewers. Outside of last year's OU we lost to teams that were largely more talented than us with Ewers. You cannot say the same about Ehlinger as much as we love him. -

I said Colt is number 2. Why are you arguing an argument I'm not making? What I AM saying is that let's quit acting like dude didn't cement himself a solid 3rd. OU has been bad in the past and no one has given them the two asswhippings Quinn did. No one! Not even Pete the Great. -

The two things Quarterbacks are measured by here at Texas, how you did vs OU, and how you did in conference championship games. Colt Big 12 Championship- 20-36 184 yards 0TDs and 3 INTs Quinn Big 12 Championship- 35-46 452 yards 4 TDs and 1INT Colt vs OU- 3-1 record. 79-118(67%) 836y 6TDs 2INTs over 4 years Quinn vs OU- 2-1 record. 72-96(75%) 834y 6TDs 4INTs over 3 years Combine the two and it looks like this Colt- 96-154 1020yards 6TDs and 5INTs Quinn- 107-142 1286yards 10TDs and 5INTs Add the Georgia game for Quinn and ...... Colt- 96-154 1020yards 6TDs and 5INTs Quinn- 134-188 1644yards 11TDs 6INTs Again, this is someone arguing in bad faith. Colt struggled mightily in 09 vs OU and in the Big12 championship game. Funny how we are NOW trying to paint a different picture. Most everyone considers Colt number two in our lifetimes behind VY, but to try and claim that Quinn is miles behind Colt is dishonest. He threw for 452 and 4 TDs in the Big12 championship game and gave OU the two worst ass whippings in our lifetimes. This whole narrative that he was just along for the ride is false. 49-0 isn't "along for the ride". 452 yards and 4TDs isn't "along for the ride" either. Let me remind everyone that he piled up these numbers in 3 years. We should tip the cap and thank dude for his service. -

Who was number one this year? -
Or you could go back to the Texans thread and post your nonsensical opinions over there. I hear you are a favorite.

All time Texas QB Ranking Discussion - 2025
Thatguy replied to BurntOrange&White's topic in Football
Imagine the last time you won a conference championship was the last time you had a really QB. Then for almost 15 years you watch bad to mediocre QB play lead you to everything from losing to Kansas and Maryland to close to being good. You finally get a highly ranked QB and those just happen to be the years you go to two straight conference championships, winning one, and back to back CFP appearances. After your first good year all four of your receiving targets and your top 3 running backs are gone. You run it back anyway with your 4th and 5th string backs, backup TE, three new receivers, and are a couple plays from playing for the NC. Imagine all that happening and some message board clown saying you, the one constant offensively year over year, had nothing to do with it. Imagine that same clown putting you on a tier with dudes who never won shit. Imagine throwing for 450 yards and 4 TDs in the conference championship game and being put on a tier with Simms. -

In Derka's original post he says and I quote,"his YAC yards accounted for like 80% of his production at times". This is how you know someone is arguing in bad faith. They are arguing that the quarterback is inaccurate, but then in the same argument, to discount the quarterback's overall yardage, they talk about 80% of the yardage acquired happened after the catch. Anyone who has even a little football IQ knows that receiver YAC yardage is the biggest indicator of QB accuracy. Another indicator of QB accuracy is the type of routes your OC is calling. When an OC knows they have an inaccurate QB they call a lot of easy throw/low YAC routes like hooks, curls, and comebacks. We rarely throw those. We throw NFL routes. 15 yards outs wide side. 15 yard digs. Slants. Skinny posts. We rarely drop back and throw it to stationary receivers, which is why QE's YAC yards are so high. -
Man this is a lot to answer. Football is no different than any other job. There are micromanagers, delagators, and figureheads who stick their nose into everything just enough to fuck it up. Sark strikes me as a micromanager who has learned to at least give some autonomy to the defensive side of the ball. I say that last part because PK seems pretty comfy in his role, and most coordinators would've taken the first gig out if they were being micromanaged too much. I wouldn't imagine the assistants on offense have much say in the gameplan. I think defensively they do though, as PK's defense has been better when he has had better assistant coaches in his life. Both of those guys are good overall architects who seem to struggle with adjustments at time. Ohio State has better players than we do. Full stop. On offense they were better at every position except QB and LT. Their best receiver was better than our best receiver. Their line, overall, was better than our line. Their backs were better than our backs. Their D-line was better than ours except for Simmons. As good as Hill is their number 0 was better. Makuba and Downs wash each other out but their second safety was better than Taafe. We are better at Nickel and corner. Ohio State has and has had an embarrassment of riches. They are the one team that you could say is equal to Bama/Georgia talent wise but has largely squandered it way worse than we have over decades. Look at their recruiting rankings the last 15 years 3, 5, 4, 4, 2, 5, 14, 2, 4, 2, 7, 3, 2, 5, and 6.

100% agree. I remember the first time Brooks got loose I was like how is this kid not getting carries? Blue has eye popping ability but he isn't an every down back. The other guys seem to be plodders.

Tiki Barber was the leader in fumbling in the NFL until he trained himself to carry the football high and tight and then became the one of the leaders in ball security. Comment has nothing to do with his running style. Only his fumbling.
-
Gibson doesn't really see hole quite yet. He is often just running up the back of his blockers. A little more time in the film room and some time in the Tiki Barber school of recovering fumblers and he should be good.

Posting a player's QB rating? It's not about QBR it's about what your offense is asking you to do. What kind of offense is it? What down and distance are you typically throwing on? What kind of routes are you being asked to throw? Not every college QB is being asked to throw 15 yard outs field side. A lot of them are building their qbr on throws to stationary targets. It's a lot easier to throw a 15 yard pass to a receiver who sat down in a zone vs a 15 yard dig vs that same zone. Navy's QB has the 6th QBR in the country Gus. Hope you don't think that means he is the 6th best QB in cfb. Lastly, dudes like you showing up talking about root for the name on the front? The irony! It's people like you that are the problem. The starting quarterback is in the way of your favorite player so now you don't like him and are unjustly critical of him because you are a fanboy of the guy behind him. So every little thing the guy does is under a microscope with you guys. You guys are like the guys who couldn't appreciate Lebron's time on the basketball court because they felt the need to hate him due to the comparison to Jordan. I appreciated what Quinn brought to the table. I will appreciate what Arch brings as well. I won't spend 450 pages tearing him down like you did.

The Leopards Eating Faces and Unlubed Dildo of Consequences Thread
Thatguy replied to Horn Dog's topic in Cloak Room
When people are trying to help you, take the help. I have a significant amount of trans friends and trust me, dead naming is every bit as offensive as using the T word. Even more so in some cases. At every turn in their lives someone is trying to hurt them or not acknowledge them by dead-naming them. It could be a parent or family member trying not to acknowledge their transition by refusing to call them by their new name. It also can be as bad as someone trying to out them as trans to people who may not know. Dead naming is a two hand shove in the chest out the acceptance door for a trans person. When you dead name one trans person you are showing other trans people that you are ONE disagreement from doing them harm. They will never look at you the same. Just the same as your black friend will never look at you the same if you angrily hard R someone.- 4610 replies

The Leopards Eating Faces and Unlubed Dildo of Consequences Thread
Thatguy replied to Horn Dog's topic in Cloak Room
Yeah but calling one black person the N word because you are mad at(not saying this is you) them and them only paints a picture of what kind of person you are to the entire community. That's what I mean when I say take the high road. Hurting the entire trans community to get back at a singular person does nothing to advance humanity at all. Be specific about what you are pissed at someone about otherwise you get tuned out by the whole. -

Thatguy replied to Horn Dog's topic in Cloak Room
Yeah, I am all for owning the right wingers but I didn't raise my daughter to be all inclusive just for her to see her old man spouting hateful rhetoric about the very people he told her to love and embrace. Gotta lead by example. When life gets hard for you a person has to stand ten toes down on their own principles or what are we even doing? -
I am currently 27 TBs in and climbing.

You are also one of the jackasses on that thread. Arch already threw incompletions. He also threw interceptions, got sacked, and fumbled. I've been here the whole time. Just like I have been for all of our QBs dating back decades. Or any player. I have defended many players not just Quinn. Back when Diaz was the coach I was the main one saying it wasn't the players it was the scheme much to the laughter of posters like you. Until Robinson came in and had the defense fixed in about 10 minutes with the exact same players. Then all the sudden posters like you got very quiet. Arch is going to be a good player, but the offense will still have shortcomings. They may be different shortcomings, but shortcomings nonetheless. When that happens bring the same energy you did this season. Blame him for every failure on offense and then start talking about how you don't think he is draftable.

Kris Boyd probably should start showing up for meetings
Thatguy replied to TtomTerrific's topic in Football
Yeah man, mine is a junior. For all the suspect(sus) words in their vocab this one is still hanging around. And "like". They like that one a lot too. -
First look at who repped you to see your post was shit. The fact that the thread is 450 pages and the O-line thread is only 88 is blowing up your "accurate critiques" theory. Cam Williams alone has spent all year being a turnstile for any decent pass rusher and racking up penalties but the O-line thread has only moved 11 pages all season. RB thread same thing. Sark thread finally got necro-bumped. The one consistent thread is the QE thread. QE gets sacked it's because he didn't step up in the pocket. QE steps up in the pocket and gets sacked its because he self sacked. Can't run the football it's because QE isn't a running threat. Defense doesn't play well its because QE didn't do his job on offense. We blame the kid for everything. It isn't simply "accurate critiques". All of us are pretty rational all over this board except that thread. And its the same posters over and over. Why? Because they want to see Arch play. The plan has always been for him to sit and learn. Everything is perfectly on schedule.

Here is a guy who is paying attention. Plus rep!

Most of any things I do here take a lot of words. In fact, this post here is wordier than it should be. Wait, is "wordier" even a word? Looked it up. It is. Anyway, as I was saying, I tend to make posts longer than they need to be. That's a flaw of mine. I talked to a therapist about it but he said I shouldn't focus so much on the negative. So this year, in 2025, I am on a mission to accept me for me. I said all that to say I apologize for taking a lot of words. It's just who I am. So hopefully going forward you can accept me for who I am. If not, I understand people are different and I accept you for being the type of person who doesn't like a lot of words. And that's the great thing about life you know? Everyone is different. For example you might be a titty man. I am an ass and leg guy. If we were all titty guys we would all be fighting over the same women. Then what would become of the women with hardly any titties but phat asses and nice legs? So it a good thing we are all different you know? That way no woman is without a dick. Unless of course they don't want a dick. Even the big girls have Vic. So you do what you gotta do here man. I will be cheering for you to have the least wordy posts on here. I want everyone to be successful in life bro. Get you some big titties too!

Quinn "La Joya" Ewers - The Man The Myth The Mullet
Thatguy replied to Coach pop a bitch's topic in Football
This is correct. Players see more than people think. There are many talking heads lurking as well. -
Reread my post. I said I don't spend "PAGES" dragging down any player, I didn't say I don't ever negatively critique them. "Pages"= multiple, and there are 50 posts per page on this forum. Worthy was here for three years. As long as Quinn was. There are 23,942 posts in the QE thread. Some of you have 10-20 pages BY YOURSELF worth of negativity. Where is MY 450 page thread where I shitted on Worthy consistently for three years? The Worthy thread is 33 pages. You are going to get some tell it like it is posts of course, which is what those are. Also, looking at Worthy in the league, those posts are spot on accurate. Catch radius is an issue. Drops. Not tracking deep balls. And is absolutely elite with the ball in his hands. And the post about the coach putting him in bad positions? Coach kinda quit that once he got AD Mitchell. Shame you didn't even notice that.
