    Quinn's pocket presence was slightly better yesterday, but he still gets jittery when it isn't clean for him. He clearly was thinking about stepping up into the pocket more this game, which he did more often than not. He had a few opportunities to move to the right and extend the play that he failed to do because he was probably just looking to step up in the pocket. He can throw the ball well enough in general, but becomes gets average to below average when asked to do things outside of the structure of the offense.

    Not the thread for this convo, but their OL is coming together. Reed isn't as good as LSU made him look, but he's probably better than Weigman. The DL is very very good.

    Clear targeting. Brain dead play by #45 there.
  4. Atticus
    Our running backs aren’t doing our guys much help, but the OL should be mauling these guys.

    Seeing Hudson Card with a well-thrown ball percentage around 90 invalidates the whole thing. His game is ass incarnate.
  6. Atticus
    He enrolled early, he's just not ready to contribute yet.

    The standard is the standard. We celebrate Quinn for his contributions to Longhorn Nation. He could also become a victim of its restored expectations. Much like we got rid of Mack for failing to live up to the standards he helped to set. Hopefully he realizes that there is no future to save himself for if he doesn’t put it all out there for the rest of the season.

    You are severely underestimating our opponents if you think that version of Quinn is good enough to win this weekend, at Arkansas, or at A&M. Shit, Florida would be a dogfight. It’s not fair to everyone else on this team to ask them to carry him the rest of the way either. This isn’t a Conner vs Neto situation. We have an stronger idea of what Arch provides the offense.

    I’ve rewatched it twice now and even went through the Georgia homer’s film review because apparently I’m a glutton for punishment. It isn’t kind to Quinn at all. I hope he shows who he’s gonna be for the rest of the year against Vandy because this Jekyll and Hyde shit from him will get us beat again.

    With Quinn: 10-3 With Arch: 16-1 and a natty Go Horns!

    The running game could find more space to operate with Arch’s legs and better deep ball to account for. But you are right about us lacking an elite run game.

    Clemson got it done with true freshman Trevor Lawrence.

    He threw a ball to Helm where he stepped into the throw. It was only a 5 yard gain, but it was a decisive throw.

    On rewatch, the OL wasn’t that bad. There were multiple opportunities to get the ball out and he just didn’t pull the trigger. Arch looked more decisive, even if he wasn’t picking the best option on a given play. Cam and DJ Campbell had the worst games of the group

    Quinn threw bad picks against CSU and UTSA. And we all know he can help pressure find its way home. The biggest difference here is, there are no more training wheels for this guy. His potential doesn’t matter anymore, if he can’t get it done against Vandy, Arch will. Then Arch will be QB1 going into the bye.
  16. Atticus
    The biggest reason why people are blaming Quinn is because of where he should be as a QB at this point in his development. He looked indecisive, rattled, and unaware like this was his first year in the offense.
  17. Atticus
    Or they come out feeling the pressure of playing with increased expectations instead of playing spoiler

    @Burt Macklin Quinn didn’t play against MSU

    @Thatguy Just because you think you've done something, doesn't mean you've actually done that thing. LG Conner absorbed the initial blow in his pass set and eventually won the rep. Quinn didn't need to be 7 yards behind him to avoid that pressure. LT Banks reroutes his guy way around, giving Quinn more time to react and make a throw or buy time in the pocket. There are no other immediate threats. Quinn drops way back and his feet get stuck in quicksand. By the time he starts to remember to step up into the pocket, his feet are clipped by the guy Banks successfully blocked. I'm sure there are situations where Quinn was not to blame, but that was not one of them. Quinn was blamed for doing too much in his first two games, post-injury, he isn't doing nearly enough back there.

    Ha! Wow! Look at good QBs in the NFL and how they move in the pocket. Even NFL Bryce Young thinks Quinn had horrible pocket presence last night.
  21. Atticus
    I don't think Quinn will be able to bounce back by the end of the year and the OL isn't going to do enough to make him comfortable sitting in the pocket to play his style of ball. I'm not worried about Sark letting the team go as Quinn goes anymore, and I like Quinn when he's loose and confident. I really don't like Quinn when he has to think and make plays on the fly. Another issue is Quinn is probably right under 6'2 and has a side arm throwing motion, so stepping into the pocket makes it harder for him to see and easier for him to have his passes knocked down. Arch is taller, stronger, more elusive, but doesn't see the field as well as we've seen Quinn do at times. His short passes are also suspect at times. Arch is a playmaker though. All in all, if we can get steady, efficient, high level of execution Quinn then he's our guy. If not, then we should move on to the future.

    The punter was a big part of why the second half went the way it did
  23. Atticus
    The qbs had minimal time to throw and make their way through reads. When they provided time, Quinn either ran into pressure or made a throw. Tip of the cap to Georgia, the team will definitely be humbled by this.
  24. Atticus
    The protection sucks, but Quinn also has poor pocket presence

    2026 RB Jonathan Hatton is the only one that makes sense
