  1. The pick 6 was not on Wingo. He needed to eat that ball. Plain and simple. 100% on Quinn and nobody else.
  2. You know we haven’t won’t the conference championship yet, right? I know you and Quinn are BFF’s because you have money to light on fire, but that doesn’t mean we get to crown ourselves.
  3. You don’t get to just hand waive away two back breaking turnovers inside the red zone. Especially when one of them went to the house. You don’t. That was not a good game. Period.
  4. Two terrible plays that would have cost most teams the game. But most teams don’t have our D. That said, even though I continue to think Quinn is a liability, I’m not going to take away his first half performance. That crowd was out for blood and he never seemed phased by it. A deeply inconsistent and flawed performance by a deeply inconsistent and flawed player.
  5. Quinn needed something in this 2nd half that redeemed those errors but it doesn’t look like it’s gonna happen. In many ways this was a classic Quinn performance. There were some scintillating plays early, and then he seemed to do everything he could possibly do to keep the other team in it in the 2nd half. He remains a guy that we can win any game with, but it sure doesn’t look like he’ll ever be THE reason for our success.
  6. In that situation it sure looked like Bond missed a check to a different route. Had Bond run a stick that’s an easy first down.
  7. I’m more in the Arch camp than the Quinn camp, but that’s unfair. He was absolutely nails up until the pick. You have to give him credit for the good.
  8. This underscores how fucking hard it is to be a QB. Quinn’s played at such a high level tonight but two singular plays have the chance to overshadow all of it. And both of those mistakes rest squarely on his shoulders. I really want to see him pull through here. As much for him as for us.
  9. Quinn is the reason we’re in the game AND the reason aggy is in the game. Tough feat to pull off.
  10. Brutal end to what was a good series. Game should be over.
  11. He was playing the perfect game. And then that happened. He needs to forget that shit.

    Bert!

    I think everyone is wondering that. Odds are good that we will need a big kick at some point this year. If that kick is from beyond 40, I’m not confident that Bert is gonna come through.
  13. Helluva drive by Quinn. That pass to Helm scared the shit out of me, but the pass to Golden and the pass to Blue were pinpoint.
  14. Best one since the pass that hit Moore in the face mask against Florida would be more accurate.
  15. He had 6 more passing yards than Quinn in the first quarter without even attempting a pass. He’s clearly a wizard.
  16. Fuck the bullshit. Go kick some aggy ass and leave a legend.
  17. 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.
  18. Who said they aren't happy about beating Arkansas? I haven't seen a single person post anything of the sort.
  19. 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.
  20. 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.
  21. 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.
  22. 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.
  23. 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.
  24. 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.
  25. 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.
