I love Surly. We have someone arguing Texas loses to Florida if Arch starts and people arguing Texas will win a NC with a QB throwing for 200 yards a game

I don’t see that game being close with Arch starting. Again no pressure and receivers running wide open all game.

Texas rolls.. Florida offense was just out-matched. I said Ewers played great in that game, but the environment couldn’t have been easier. That isn’t a game where Arch would have been rattled. Almost no pressure and WRs running wide open everywhere

There is no chance Texas makes noise in the playoffs, if Quinn throws for 200 yards a game. Debatable that Texas makes the playoffs, if Quinn throws for 200 vs A&M

Ark is out the window. Quinn was not good vs Ark. Quinn had multiple interceptions vs Vandy and Texas survived

Texas record would be 9-1 with Arch or Quinn starting, I don’t think anyone would argue that. So the record thing doesn’t really move the needle. Here are the SEC Quarterback Grades through week 11 for all 16 current starters in the SEC (prior to Ark game). 1. Jaxson Dart , Ole Miss Grade: 91.9 Nat’l Rank: 4 2. Taylen Green, Arkansas Grade: 86.9 Nat’l Rank: 25 3. Jalen Milroe, Alabama Grade: 85.3 Nat’l Rank: 31 4. Diego Pavia , Vanderbilt Grade: 85.0 Nat’l Rank: 32 5. Garrett Nussmeier, LSU Grade: 81.1 Nat’l Rank: 61 6. Carson Beck, UGA Grade: 78.0 Nat’l Rank: 86 7. Nico Iamaleava, Tennessee Grade: 77.1 Nat’l Rank: 95 8. Payton Thorne, Auburn Grade: 75.8 Nat’l Rank: 111 9. Brock Vandagriff, Kentucky Grade: 68.9 Nat’l Rank: 195 10. Marcel Reed, Texas A&M Grade: 66.3 Nat’l Rank: 202 11. Quinn Ewers, Texas Grade: 66.9 Nat’l Rank: 210 12. Michael van Buren, Mississippi State Grade: 62.5 Nat’l Rank: 254 13. LaNorris Sellers, South Carolina Grade: 62.3 Nat’l Rank: 257 14. Jackson Arnold, Oklahoma Grade: 59.7 Nat’l Rank: 273 15. Drew Pyne, Missouri Grade: 56.4 Nat’l Rank: 287 https://www.louisianasports.net/week-11-sec-qb-pff-grades-dart-leads-milroe-rises/ This is a debate based on Quinn’s play. If it was any other position, it is unlikely to be much of a debate

I don’t think anyone had their pitchforks out for 3rd year Colt or Vince. This is not remotely the same situation

At some pt Quinn is his tape. Right now the Michigan game is looking like the exception. Right now I don’t trust Quinn vs a top level defense. Not sure I trust Arch either, but he is playmaker. He can make a bad play into a good one, mostly with his feet. He may be a mad bomber, but that helps the run game. His legs also have to be accounted for by a defense

I am leaning the other way. I think I said that Texas is more likely to make the playoffs with Quinn, but more likely to make noise in the playoffs with Arch about a month ago. Unfortunately, Quinn has shown nothing but inconsistency during the past month. Those highs and lows typically come with a 1st year starter (though Beck and Ewers are both there this year). I think the best version of Arch gives the offense a higher ceiling. I am not as concerned anymore about the lows, because Quinn is having those types of games. I am 1 more bad half away from calling for Quinn to be benched. I think it’s a coin flip we see Arch get meaningful snaps this year

I don’t think anyone would disagree. That said Quinn had limitations and is inconsistent. That is why this point isn’t really hitting home. People are going to continue to pine for Arch, until Quinn can play the consistent football expected out of a 3rd year starter. I don’t think anyone can definitively say that the offense has a higher ceiling under Quinn.

The were consist though and that is what matters. They let both teams play physical in pass coverage

If I am an opposing DC, I love that Tampa 2 look vs Texas. Shut down the flats and dare Texas to win the ball running the football or Quinn to find the holes

Draft and college performance are not always aligned. Quinn has the 1st round arm that GM may fall in love with, but his tape isn’t top 3 rounds

Can’t see UK scoring 10+ pts. UK does have a defense that could slow down Texas, but hard to know how much fight they have left in them. I can’t see Texas losing. Only question is will the offense sleep walk to a 24- 6 type win or blow them out? Another game where the 1Q could decide the ease of the win. Get up early and it will look like Florida.

Agree. The thought of pressure triggers the same response. He tends to throw off platform for no reason

It’s all related to his footwork. He sees pressure and his feet stop working. He has slow feet and it really shows up with pressure. There are other issues. The most worrying part of the Arkansas poor performance was there wasn’t much pressure

I thought it was apparent that Sark realized Quinn was off and called the game accordingly

I think this year it’s all about QB. It is a really bad QB class. Lot of the top teams have QBs you just can’t trust for 3 straight games. That’s probably why Texas fans are so frustrated with Quinn. They know if Quinn consistently plays to his abilities for the back end of this season, Texas has a legit chance at a NC. If not, Texas may not make the playoffs

Was nice to see the offense be able to run the ball to ice the game

It’s a schemed up play. Use motion to isolate Golden. Simple 1 read play, which Quinn is pretty good at

Collins with 7 tackles, 2TFLs, 1 sack, and a forced fumble.. ridiculous production from a DT

They just gave up 800+ passing yards the last 2 games. Let’s not try to twist this Arkansas team into a legit power. They also lost to the worst Gundy team in a decade

I don’t think any of the 3 sacks were on the OL today. If you are being reasonable, it’s easy to admit that offensive performance we saw today isn’t going to work vs better teams.

Really hard to know and I think that ship might have sailed. He would have needed some starts vs lesser defenses. The frustrating part of Quinn is it’s year 3 and you never know what you will get out of him. That is supposed to be the reason you start experience

Greg McElroy had a great run game behind him. Texas doesn’t have that. Texas can not win the SEC with the version of Quinn that showed up in the first half
