    For the RB at WR thing, check the SLWR position and see who’s at the top of the depth chart there. Not sure what might be going on at TE. I’d need to see some screen shots to have any guesses.

    Who said they aren't happy about beating Arkansas? I haven't seen a single person post anything of the sort.

    The reply of someone that has conceded they are wrong. I'll take it. I really appreciated the thoughtful discourse on the subject, btw. Nice work.

    Watched every single one of them. The things he does well (which I have referenced many times over) were on full display in all of those games. And those teams were unable to take enough of those things away, so his weaknesses were masked. My POV is not that Quinn is BAD. My POV is that his game has consistent and significant limitations in specific circumstances. If he's allowed to do the things he's elite at, he can carve teams up with the best of them. But he has plenty of holes in his game, and those holes are DEEP. So when a team can start to take away the stuff he is good at, what we're left watching can look horrendous. We didn't get "bad Quinn" against UGA. There is just the one Quinn. UGA was good enough to force him to do the stuff he's not good at, and the results were painful to watch. If you can't understand that, it doesn't make me the moron here.

    In the November 9, 2024 game against the Florida Gators, the Texas Longhorns' skill players had 277 yards after the catch, which was 83.2% of Quinn Ewers' total yardage.

    He was below average last year. He's outright horrible this year. I agree there has been regression, but it's not like he was throwing great deep balls last year. His approach to the true vertical throws (30+ yards down the field) has always sucked. He throws with an insane amount of loft to a general area of the field where he thinks the WR might end up. It's never looked like he's gauged the speed of the WR and the leverage the WR has on the defender and placed the ball in a calculated window. It has always looked like he's taking a guess and hoping for the best. He guessed right a few more times last year, and it happens that two of those guesses came in one of our biggest games of the last 15 years (at Bama). He's never been good at it and that's not going to change this season, and likely not at all.

    Chicken and egg argument. You know what would make it a lot easier to run the ball? If we had a credible deep threat that kept the safeties 8-10 yards off the LOS. Our conventional run game is not intimidating, but if you add in the screen and swing throws (which are effectively stretched run concepts) we generate a respectable amount of yards. If we had someone that could throw over the top of the D as they start to creep up to shut down the shorter stuff, we'd be hell on wheels.

    Show me where I "jacked off to Arch" in that argument. I'm happy to wait, but you can't. My point was only that 2-3 unplanned drives against a team that had our gameplan down cold is a statistically insignificant data point with which to draw any conclusions about Arch. To be clear, he didn't look great in those drives. But it is by no means incontrovertible proof that he's not ready, despite how often people like to point to it as such.

    I absolutely *don't* know that. Quinn can do certain stuff really well and he's atrocious at other things. I have not seen any meaningful change in the things he is good or bad at. He is who he is. When he's playing "better" it's usually because the defense we're going up against can't take away enough of the things he is really good at. It's really and truly as simple as that. He's good at enough things that there are maybe only 6-10 teams that can take away enough of them to really expose how limiting he can be on our offense. But I am willing to bet that most of those 6-10 teams will end up in the playoffs, and that spells trouble for us.

    This is a bullshit narrative that needs to stop. Arch practiced with the 2's all week in the lead up to UGA. He was not even supposed to be in the game to begin with and he was given half a quarter of play time. There are zero fucking conclusions to be drawn from that experience other than that UGA had Sark's number in that game. The end.

    He's not going to take off. He is who he is. His success is largely dependent on the opponent. Those that can contain our screen/horizontal game will make him look average to terrible. Those that can't will make him look good. But everyone should understand that he is who he is. There is no such thing as good Quinn or bad Quinn.
  12. RichUT
    Well we're lucky as fuck that deep throw was thrown 12 yards too far. If it had been on target it would have been an easy pick.

    Right. I said that myself a couple of pages back. Just circling back to give him credit where it's due.
  15. RichUT
    That's where he's elite.

    Quinn Ewers - Booty.

    Dart walked into this same building and completed 80% of his passes for 515 yards and 6TD's.

    You a Master's in online trolling.
  19. RichUT
    Laughable take.
  20. RichUT
    He's still better at timing and ball placement on flares and wheels. And I think he's a little better than Arch at the intermediate stuff. But he's significantly worse at deep balls, and more reps won't lead to improvement at this point. He is what he is. On the other hand, I strongly suspect that Arch's play in the short and intermediate game would improve with starter's reps. Maybe he doesn't full close the gap with Quinn in those areas this year, but I think he'd get close enough that his ability on the deep balls would make our offense more productive on the whole.
  21. RichUT
    In that scenario, he'd be waiting at another school. Or at least that's what I am going to tell myself.
  22. RichUT
    Yes, but he floats passes because his mechanics suck.
  23. RichUT
    Whatever team takes him will be making a bet that they can figure out the footwork and mechanics issues. I am not so sure that they can be fixed at this point, but I suspect someone will invest a mid-round pick with the hope that they can.
  24. RichUT
    He's such a weird player, and I am struggling to think of the right comparison. The things he does well, he does at an elite level. The things he doesn't do well, he's among the very worst in the game at. Not only is he terrible at those things, he's regressing in some of them. I'm at the point where I think the bad outweighs the good.

    This should work out wonderfully for the Latinos that voted him into office…
