Quinn "La Joya" Ewers - The Man The Myth The Mullet
Thatguy replied to Coach pop a bitch's topic in Football
Imagine you are a fan of the top team in the SEC with only a single loss and can not find it in yourself to come to the conclusion that Bama, Georgia, and Ole Miss would all be 10-1 if only their Quarterbacks were able to score 18 points with less than a handful of games left in their careers, and not turn it over multiple times scoring points for the other team. 🤣🤣 -

Regardless of whether teams play 3 high or 2 high what we want is for teams to allow us to have a numbers advantage in the run game. We get that on a weekly basis. So when Derka or anyone else tries to claim that Quinn is hurting us they are wrong. Opposing teams are terrified of Quinn and Sark. They say so every single week by alignment despite what this board's opinion is. Opposing teams are trying to do exactly what you are talking about above. Force us on long drives. They think somewhere along the line we will have a negative play that will put us behind the chains and then they can come after us once they get us in long yardage. Our problem is Sark loves him some random deep shots. Sometimes we just need to keep moving the sticks. Run the football if the numbers are good and don't take the bait. Sometimes chasing the deep ball is our worst enemy. Many times we are on the verge of putting someone away and we just can't help ourselves. Think back to Vandy. We'd been running it down their throats the first possession of the second half and then we get to the 20 and try and throw it 3 straight times. That starts Vandy's comeback, excited about holding us to a field goal. We go up 28-10 there and it's a different feeling game. -
I am going to go out on a limb and say the "you are the annoying little brother" has more to do with why he wanted to fight you.

So here is my take on all this. The deep ball is only necessary to keep teams from loading up against the run. No one ever loads up against the run. In fact every defense we play rarely comes out of shell coverage. Look at Arky. 3 high and 3 man front all game. Look last week vs Kentucky. We were able to pound the rock BECAUSE people are afraid of our passing game. I know that sounds crazy but why else would you line up like this when you've been getting bludgeoned? 1st and 10 in the middle of getting your ass kicked on a 14 play drive where we never threw the ball and you still line up like this against 12 personnel. We popped this for about 13 yards. If teams are giving us space to run the ball we are where we want to be. Injury wise you are correct that aggy is going to try and hurt Quinn. Arch has had some snaps and isn't coming in green if he has to play. I do agree Sark should've sat Quinn last week. The real issue for us though is if a team can sit back in coverage and still stifle the run game without dedicating numbers to it like Georgia did. That's where we got in trouble. Aggy has the ability to do that. Aggy plays a lot of man coverage so we will see how that goes. It all comes down to how well we handle their pass rush. If it looks like Georgia where there are multiple wtf busts then we are in trouble. -

If that be the case then a solid apology from me. A lot of people are posting and you are usually the stats guy. So maybe it was coming from someone else and I attributed it to you. So sorry for that. Continue posting as you always do and I will do a better job of scrolling back and addressing the proper poster from here on out. My fault. -

Imagine being pissed off during a stretch we went 4-0 with a 67% passer and a 12-2 TD-INT ratio. Wild. You do whatever is easiest and working. If you can run the football 40 times and go 14-0 why would you not do it? -

OU sucking big donkey dicks didn't get us ready for a good opponent and we got smacked in the mouth. No one was ready for that game. Not the coaches. Not Quinn. Not the O-line. Not the backs. Even the defense played well but when we needed them the most to get us a stop at the end of the game they faltered. I think in a rematch we will see a more mentally ready squad and I like our chances. A couple things have been shored up in protection and the run game. We've also gotten better at rushing the passer as we had 0 sacks in that game. -

What you said about batted balls is absolutely true except when Quinn has batted balls and then its his fault. We let a rusher come through the line untouched vs Vandy and post after post was somehow it was Quinn's fault. Now look at how much more comfortable we are blaming others now that we remember that Arch had balls batted too. As for stats and context again you just got done using a stat as an example of how Arch was better than Ewers without the context that Arch got most of his stats vs ULM and Miss St while Ewers faced a lot more competent defenses. So please spare me with the "you tend to talk down to some of us". If you are going to use stats in bad faith then I am going to point that out. If that makes you look some type of way for doing that and you don't like that then don't use stats in bad faith. The two most similar teams they played were Florida and Miss St. I am not here to make enemies and I generally have respect for 99% of the people on this board as a lot of people have a place where they shine and their contributions make this place awesome. However, I am not going stepped on by the likes of Derka and a couple other posters. So if guys like you get caught up in that I apologize. -

The reason why everyone is talking about our schedule is because they talked so much shit that "when we came to the SEC we would be also rans and that it is such a meat grinder". Now they are pissed that we are running this mother fucker so the only way to save face is to say we played a pussy ass schedule. We beat Florida who beat Ole Miss and we didn't just beat them, we beat the brakes off them. We beat Vandy who beat Bama. We beat Kentucky who beat Freshwater. We would do the same to all these other clowns but of course they weren't on our schedule which is more a blessing for them than it is for us. So now the conversation shifts to "The SEC is down and now the BIG is where it's at". We should go hop in that motherfucker and big dick their conference too. No one wants to address the 900lb gorilla in the room. Even bitchass SEC Shorts barely talks about us, the strongest team in their conference. Everyone is clutching their pearls and hoping the dude standing in the middle of the room with no pants on and his big-ass dick dragging on the floor will just go away. -

Ok. Let me address this. Everyone is bitching that Ewers gets balls batted so I put the Arch ball getting batted too. A person SHOULD chip a rusher on the way to the flat. When I said that you guys said I was making excuses for Ewers. By putting the Arch ball getting batted maybe you guys see that it's not just a Ewers problem it's an US problem. Stats never tell the whole story. You can have two teams rush for 125 yards per game. Both teams rush for exactly 5 yards every time they hand it off. If you ask which team is the better running team the stats will say that they are both exactly equal. However when you turn on the tape team A is getting their 125 vs a stacked box while team B is getting their 125 vs a 3 man front. Then team B comes up against a team wanting to load the box and their productivity drops in half and no one can figure out why while team A keeps chugging along at their 125 per totally unaffected because they always see loaded boxes. Last game the Vandagriff kid was struggling. Then the Boley kid came in and looked much better than him or so said Derka. However, as soon as the freshman came in PK started calling a shit ton of blitzes because that's the rule vs a freshman, leaving us completely exposed on the back end 1v1. Guys, knowing he is a freshman, shirked their responsibilities and started taking chances causing coverage busts. The kid was just airing balls out and it caught us off guard. However, as soon as we went back to normal coverage he threw right into double coverage and got picked. Stats will show him as the better player but he likely wasn't. -

I think what you are seeing isn't Quinn being afraid to take shots its Quinn only taking shots when the numbers are right. Can you remember Quinn throwing deep into double coverage this year? I cannot. All those shitty deep ball misses appear to be when we get 1v1 matchups. Also, Sark was an OC in an aggressive defensive conference predicated on running the football. I don't think he ever saw a 3-3-5 flyover until he came to the Big12. I think once opponents saw how effective it was vs what he wanted to do it became the go to defensive scheme for one Steve Sarkisian. The one thing that really makes me mad about this thread and people saying Quinn is holding us back and Yadayada is the fact that people are daring us to run on them and perfectly willing to take whatever rushing numbers we get if it means not letting us throw over the top on them. That is out of respect for what Sark is doing. We couldn't just line up and bully teams with numbers in the box. That is a result of effective passing. People here don't seem to understand that. -
Had they joined the SEC it would've been a totally different story.

Pope is from Wilson, North Carolina so that should explain it. Acting has cleaned some of it up but let him get a couple drinks in him. -

100% true. Which is why teams defend us the way they do. Which is why we can run the football. Which is why we win. As soon as Arch starts regularly taking the easy throw he will be the starter here. -

And this is a quality post that I think most people will agree with. However, you have to understand that OTHER people on this thread besides yourself really are calling for Arch to step in when we are 10-1 and locked in to a spot for the CFP. You may be level headed with things but others are wildly not. One person in particular that swears he was cheering QE on last yr. -

Dude. I love Arch Manning. Everyone does. And when Arch is our guy behind center you will likely not find a more staunch defender than me as I am a positive guy in general. I am only closing an argument that Arch is more consistent currently than Quinn. Arch has a higher ceiling. We all see that. But I am not about to compared to Derka when I say Quinn is ahead of Arch and sit here and take that. -

Sailing balls high are potential INTs. Again, these are roughly a 3rd of Arch's throws. You told me Arch is more errant with any noticeable regularity than Quinn. The only way I can prove that statement false is with video. Now I am the asshole for bringing actual proof. QE doesn't regularly throw into double coverage either. -

But what he is saying is accurate about gameplay up to this point so it is still valid. -

You call me out on something saying I am gaslighting. I put up around 30 of Arch's 90 throws as receipts and now I am the asshole. -

This post is the kind of post that irritates me. Before I do this let me say that Arch is going to be good eventually. He has made some big sexy throws and I think because of that, and our general love for the kid, we forget everything else we've seen him do when he has had his time under center. Arch has thrown 90 balls this season. He has a lot of overthrows, underthrows, throws into double coverage, throws behind, high throws, and even inappropriate throws for RBs and TEs. Quinn is immobile and is lucky if ever he hits the deep ball. He has to be kept clean to be effective and isn't going to evade a couple rushers with regularity. However, when dude is healthy he is going to throw a solid ball from short to intermediate ranges. He is going to find the right guy. Ball location is going to be good. Ball will be a nice catchable ball. Screen balls will be on the money and leading upfield. Quinn is fine taking the easy throw and dinking and dunking the ball down the field. Because of this Sark trusts him and knows exactly what he is getting from him. Arch on the other hand is a gunslinger. He is going to go big game hunting frequently. He will take a lot of chances and that scares a coach. Arch Miscues-1.mp4 -
