Quinn "La Joya" Ewers - The Man The Myth The Mullet, Now Starting for the Miami Dolphins
I specifically said those feelings came during his third full season playing and that maybe it was unfair that Quinn never had that opportunity. Colt definitely had a sophomore slump in 2007. We beat Nebraska in 2009 despite Chris Hall getting ragdolled like a kitten thrown in with a rabid pitbull named Suh. Again, I wasn't trying to make an objective argument, just stating how I felt watching Colt vs Quinn. And of course, Colt had help, I never stated otherwise. But if you're telling me you don't think Colt was more clutch than Quinn, then we can just agree you're on crack. You know in your heart you never got the warm fuzzy feeling that Quinn was going to come through in the clutch and make the play when it was desperately needed. Again, I liked Quinn and defended him pretty vigorously from what I thought was unfair criticism. But Colt lost 1 game that he finished his final two seasons. And it was lost by the defense in the waning seconds. Quinn lost multiple games that he personally had a chance to win at the end (Washington, OSU, SEC Championship). At any rate, you're reading something more into my comment than was intended. My original comment that's primary limiter at Texas was his injuries. If not for those, I think he would have been remembered a lot more like VY and Colt then Chris Simms (which was unfair to Chris too).

Every game, every third-down, every must have it moment, he converted. The games he lost were lost on defense on a final play and lost because he got hurt.

Watching Colt play? It is literally just a description of how I felt watching the games vs how I felt watching Quinn play. I liked Quinn a lot. But, for whatever reason, I never had the confidence that he would make the play when it needed to be made. I felt like Colt always would. To be fair to Quinn, I got to watch Colt for 4 full years and the extreme confidence didn't happen until his third full season. Quinn played 3 seasons, but missed 4, 2, and 3 games for each season respectively. And he probably should have missed 5 games in 2024 because you can't convince me he was physically ready to play against OU or Georgia.

Ohio State and Oregon are good teams. You'll have to explain to me why you're including 7-6 Penn State with losses to 3-9 UCLA and Northwestern in that list. I also don't think you can compare Cignetti's first two seasons with established NIL and the transfer portal to any other time. Transferring in an entire, experienced team simply wasn't an option ever before.

This is all true (although I think the late 2000s Big 12 was pretty comparable to the SEC overall). The big difference between the two for me was Colt's clutchness. I always felt he was going to make the play to win the game. For Quinn, I always hoped that he would. As an example, if you give Colt 4 plays from the 12 yard-line to beat Washington State and reach the finals, I'm very confident he'll do it 9/10 times. For Quinn, that percentage would be more like 5/10. Sure. There are issues. And they should be addressed. But when Quinn wasn't injured, he made it work pretty dang well. So, if you're asking me what the main thing was holding him back from being even more successful as the Texas QB, it would be the injuries.

One of those things is not like the other. Sark made the semi-finals two years in a row. Indiana has yet to win a playoff game, instead ending last year getting absolutely blasted by ND before a couple of late scores to make it look somewhat respectable. Maybe it will make it there this year. But it seems premature to suggest that they've already eclipsed what Sark has accomplished. They are a good team that played an absolutely dog shit schedule. Let's see them actually win a playoff game.
