Quinn is … okay. He was supposed to be the best prospect and a sure fire thing from all the 9.95ers coming out of high school. He’s clearly got an elite arm and can make every throw. He also has terrible footwork, can’t go through his progressions, and clearly needed to spend more time learning the offense. Those things can change with time and experience but he’s now has 2 full seasons with a college program. He made some very good throws during the game and I don’t think the loss is on him. With that being said, the tier QBs he is supposed to be in all have some dog in them. They win. Guys like Lawrence, Bryce Young, Tua, Caleb Williams, etc all played either their freshman or RS freshman years and looked great in big time games. Those guys put the team on their backs and make plays. At some the light has to click and he needs to dominate and be the guy that elevates the rest of the offense. I just don’t see it to be honest. I don’t know if it’s his personality or just very poor play most of this season prior to the Alamo bowl… I just don’t see a guy that is going to lead this team to a championship.
It won’t matter however. Arch is the real fucking deal and has the mindset and leadership qualities you want in a QB. I will be shocked if he isn’t the starting QB before next season ends.
