  1. It’s never been great. He hit two vs Bama but neither one was really put on the WR with purpose. It was thrown high and the WR’s tracked the ball down. That can work when there is enough separation, but I can’t think of many downfield throws where Quinn was intentional with ball placement and pass trajectory the way that Arch has done several times this year already (three times alone vs Miss St). Maybe there was one to X against UH before he got hurt. The best one this year was the throw to Bond on the first drive against Michigan. He really seems to have no feel for it. A lot of his challenges boil down to poor mechanics, but an overwhelming majority of his deep shots are put up early and thrown like he’s just guessing where the ball needs to get to in order for the WR to have a chance to catch it.
  2. Palmer needed to hit that with his first touch.
  3. So bad. What’s maddening is that he was routinely climbing the pocket during the Michigan game with great success. His refusal to do so the last two games strongly suggests that he’s playing to not get hit.
  4. I was in the middle of making a post about the match getting interesting at 1-1 when the Blues switched off and let Pool jump right back in front. Frustrating.
  5. Don’t disagree with any of that. I just don’t see the point in going to such extremes to make the point. You can say he has real physical and mental gaps in his game without throwing something as extreme out there as a Garret Gilbert blast.
  6. Insanely idiotic take. Quinn can never play another down and he’s already infinitely more accomplished as a Longhorn than Garret Gilbert. He had a bad game and is clearly struggling, but maybe say this sort of hyperbolic drivel using your inside voice.
  7. Idiots are out in full force. I guarantee you almost every recruit will say something like “Man they got off to a rough start, but they didn’t quit and made it a game. Both defenses showed out and it was just Georgia’s night. Texas will see them again.”. Go flash your sandy vagina elsewhere.
  8. Unlike fans, recruits understand that teams have good games and bad games.
  9. For it to have regressed it needed to be better than bad at some point. It’s always been the weak link in his game. It’s probably time to call a spade a spade. He doesn’t have that tool in his toolbox and it puts a ceiling on our offense.
  10. Quinn did need a wake up call and he’s responded pretty well to it. That said, I’m not sure how effective he’ll ever be when any throw that’s longer than 25 yards in the air seems to be a poorly educated guess. His feel for the short to medium stuff is elite and his feel for anything deeper is Swoopes-esque.
  11. Smoked a rack of Wagyu Beef Ribs to enjoy while we bossed OU around this weekend. Forgot to get a pic of the finished rack but did get a good money shot of the two big guys.
  12. GTFO of here with this bullshit.
  13. I've been carrying this one for over a year and a half so far: https://coronadoleather.com/products/clark-backpack-no-952-natural I travel frequently and it has held up phenomenally well. The natural leather is developing a really nice patina and I think it strikes a good balance between form and function. I can easily fit all the things I need in the available compartments, and I've received a lot of compliments on the look of the bag. Not sure how long it's been out of stock, but if they re-stock it then I would definitely recommend it.
  14. This game is bonkers.
  15. How the fuck is Cucurella the one that gets booked in all of that?
  16. Are either of you using revamped passing by chance? It's the best of the bunch in my opinion and not that hard to pick up with just a bit of practice. Here is a good article on how each passing style works: https://www.operationsports.com/madden-25-and-college-football-25-passing-settings-and-revamped-vs-placement-and-accuracy/ Hard to diagnose exactly what's going on without more of the details. I don't want to sound like a total dick, but none of the patches have radically changed CPU coverage or interception tendencies. Based on what's been shared my guess is that there is an issue recognizing defenses and having an idea of who the best 1st and 2nd options are on any given throw. Here is another article that helps identify what coverage the Defense is in based on how they line up at the snap. https://www.operationsports.com/identifying-coverages-pre-snap-in-madden-25-and-college-football-25/ Bear in mind that the CPU D will sometimes disguise coverages (i.e., show Cover 3 but actually be in man, etc.). Finally, the game does have momentum such that completing shorter/higher percentage throws early on will get your QB into rhythm and result in more accurate longer throws. I open most games running RPO's, drag routes, and jet sweeps to start building momentum.
  17. I was in the stands the first time he came in and played mop up duty. One of his first drives ended with him throwing a pick and the fan base was so enamored with him that they still gave him a warm round of applause as he jogged off the field. It was almost like a “Great first try buddy! You’ll get em next time!” sort of thing. Little did everyone know that he’d end up making that something of a habit.
  18. He’s better than Quinn at deep balls but definitely worse at swings and wheels that require more touch. I’m hoping he picks up some of Quinn’s deftness on those throws before Quinn leaves for the league.
  19. He overthrew a post to Juan Davis and a wheel to Blue. Not sure on the other.
  20. Is that good? It seems good.
  21. A point behind City and Arsenal after 6 matches played? I'd have taken that in a heartbeat before the season started. Nice to see the pieces starting to fit together.
  22. I mean….this is certainly something. Hard to call it a respectable soccer match, but it ain’t dull.
  23. Get Sanchez out of the fucking match. He’s apparently on another planet today. Jesus Christ.
  24. What was the announcer saying about Palmer starting slow? Gorgeous.
  25. This game is wide open AF.
