  1. I think some people go over the top but I'll never understand these arguments. "Did he play well enough tonight for us to win" is exactly the problem. He was just OK with a legit defense. The issue is we were paying him NIL to be a gamechanger and not just a decent QB. That doesn't justify some of the hate but the fact some are fine with Ewers "being good enough" is exactly the problem. It also perfectly sums up who he is as a QB.
  2. Yeah, you don't need a guy that's crazy athletic but at least somebody that can move the pocket with his legs/scramble when needed. Beck at Georgia could do it, McCarthy could do it at Michigan, and either Leonard or Howard can do it this year. I don't care how good of a passer somebody is coming out of HS. If they're a statue with limited mobility, I don't want them.
  3. I will bet any amount of money that Ewers never does anything in the NFL.
  4. Exactly. Those last two plays on the goal line is why we don't move the pocket with Ewers. His mobility is fucking terrible. There were obviously other issues on those plays but Ewers cannot move. When he moves laterally it often looks like he's going to trip over is own feet.
  5. Sark rolled the pocket a ton with QBs at Alabama. It's almost like he recognized Ewers can't move and stuff happens like the end of this game.
  6. QB. The difference between our offense and those Alabama offenses comes down to the QB. Tua and Mac Jones were elite college QBs. You put them in our offense and I bet we are national champions this year. Casey Thompson (ass), Hudson Card (ass at Purdue), and Ewers (above average QB with major limitations). Now, that comes back to Sark. Find an elite college QB like you did at Alabama.
  7. This was a major issue all year. Sark is probably partly to blame for it but Ewers also has zero mobility. Teams just tee off at the LOS because they know Ewers is no threat to move the pocket with his legs. It's part of the reason our run game also struggled.
  8. You are biased. You are in some way connected to Ewers because it's the only rational explanation. If you're too stubborn to recognize Ewers has limitations that held this offense back I don't know what to tell ya.
  9. It's like talking to a wall. We were right there because our defense once again played well and held Ohio State to 21 points. Our offense shit the bed because of injuries, Sark's shitty playcalling, Ewers limitations, etc. The fact you can't recognize (or admit) that Ewers has limitations is actually incredible. He can't move and he can't throw the ball downfield. Again, that doesn't mean he was solely to blame for tonight's loss.
  10. It was shitty playcalling but again that doesn't deny the other parts of the game where Ewers once again showed major limitations. I.e. not taking the free yards in the run game, self-sacking himself, and missing open WRs. Ewers wasn't terrible tonight and he also wasn't good. That's who Ewers is but somehow you keep defending him like he's Tom Brady.
  11. Yeah, it was terrible playcalling. That doesn't deny the other evidence that Ewers has limitations at QB. The fact you ride and die so hard for Ewers is actually incredible at this point. This from somebody that doesn't place the entire blame on him. If you can't see Ewers has limitations you are biased in some way. He's zero threat to run the ball and can't throw a deep ball to save his life. Straw-man arguments do not disprove this. You do realize that Sark can be a shitty playcaller at certain times and Ewers can still have major limitations right?
  12. These things aren't mutually exclusive. Sark made some dumb decisions and Ewers is limited as a QB. This is why nobody takes you seriously. You completely deflect blame when these type discussions are nuanced and not 1 person's fault. That still doesn't deny that Ewers is limited as a QB.
  13. Ewers is just a guy. Not terrible but not good. Any type of difference-maker at QB probably wins us a title this year. We might have taken some bumps on the road and not made it this far with Manning but we had a clear ceiling with Ewers. It sucks but that's the reality. When your QB is zero threat to run the ball and can't stretch defenses with a deep ball you are limited out of the gate. That's been Ewers his entire career.
  14. Sark needs to take a look in the mirror and figure out some things on offense. But Ewers has been the same QB his entire career. Zero mobility, self-sacks himself entirely too many times, and has no deep ball at all. Our offense has been predicated around short to intermediate passing with no running threat from the QB. We've been limited with Ewers and that's just a fact.
  15. Shitty playcalling but Ewers simply isn't it. I think we will be better offensively with Manning.
  16. Lol at PK getting outclassed. He held an offense that scored 41 and 42 points in the last 2 playoff games to 21 points. This is on the offense.
  17. You have 4 downs to gain 1 yard. You run 4 times up the gut and if you can't gain 1 yard you don't deserve to win.
  18. The offense scored 14 and gave up 7. Overall the defense played well enough to win. Needed 25 points to win and we couldn't do it.
  19. 1st and goal from the 1 yard line. You don't deserve to win unfortunately.
  20. This has been our offense all year. Just can't put it together completely.
  21. If we can't convert 1 yard with 4 downs we don't deserve to win.
