  1. Again, you can't adjust if you've already thrown the ball. Our offense relies on receiver and QB being on the same page. This is like getting mad at a QB for throwing a deep out when the receiver doesn't cut and just continues up field. The route is based on timing, the QB throws before the receiver makes a move. If the receiver doesn't run the out, it isn't on the QB for not adjusting. That's all I'm saying. The throw is still short. But you're getting mad about the wrong thing. Ok, you're not actually getting mad. You're just trolling again. I always forget.
  2. It is a slot fade. Moore has to fade harder to the sideline. He was running the route 8-10 yards inside of where he is supposed to be (closer to the back corner pylon, about 2-3 yards from the sideline). Quinn threw the ball about 2 yards from the sideline and about 4 yards into the endzone. The ball needed to be 8 yards into the endzone. Look how Cook ran it in the Arch player posted earlier. He gets right along the side line, not 10 yards away in the middle of the field. The reason he has to adjust so much outside is because he wasn't where he was supposed to be. Not good pass. Not a good route. Either of them get it better, and there is a shot of TD. Both of them get it better, and it is an easy TD.
  3. The ball was already in the air. Quinn threw it when Moore cut. Quinn can't know Moore is going to stay so far inside. He isn't supposed to do that. Yes, if Quinn holds on to the ball longer, he can adjust the throw. But I'm pretty sure Sark wants Quinn throwing with anticipation at the break rather than holding on to the ball. Criticize him for under throwing it. Don't criticize him for things that would be bad football (holding on to the ball). Bad throw, bad route.
  4. Helm stumbles because he is cutting inside the safety (and possibly being held, but we never get a closer shot of it). I think he is absolutely trying to split the safeties. But yes, given how it played out, the next read would have been the crosser. As I said, I think Quinn saw the off coverage up top and decided to go to Wingo, so none of that ended up mattering. https://youtu.be/Uc52IPbPpXo?si=2W9ZWwSSy1C7BU7l&t=3900
  5. Again, Moore is in the wrong spot here. He runs that route correctly and he is much closer to where Quinn threw the ball. The ball is under thrown, but it is also a route running error.
  6. I still think we have a tell on outside zone. Georgia knows when we are running it. I was also frustrated that we didn't keep running from the pistol. I think we were much better with that.
  7. I think Quinn pre-snap decides to go to Wingo because of how the corners are playing, off Bond or Golden up top and up tight against Wingo. If you don't have off coverage up top and the safety has to assist , I think the play is Helm in the seam (but he falls over anyways).
  8. If it does, I know a guy that can make sure you don't watch any other games.
  9. This is good stuff. On the 2nd and 10 throw in OT to Golden, you missed that the only reason the play doesn't work is the DB pushes off Golden during his cut. This prevents Golden from cutting as hard and helps the DB stay in position. It is hard to see on the All 22, but much more obvious on the close up. It is a full arm extension push by the DB. Without that push off, Golden is open for a TD there.
  10. In the SEC title game, he was as close to that as he has been since injury. We'll need our run game to show up too in order to win.
  11. Computers love Michigan. I find it interesting.
  12. It felt like we need to call a TO to make sure, but obviously that would be stupid since Georgia was forced to bring in Beck with one arm due to the lost helmet (and possible concussion). Le sigh.
  13. Massey also has Michigan, A&M, Florida, and Oklahoma in the top 25. Sagarin is similar except Oklahoma is just out of the top 25 at 28. The computers like our schedule a lot more than pollsters.
  14. That was literally what the post I was originally responding to said. And his post wasn't just about this year, but the last 3 years. I called bullshit on it. Quinn hasn't been consistently good since coming back from injury. But he was damn good last year (and at the beginning of this year). If he meant we could replace him with "some of the very best college quarterbacks over the last 3 seasons and have similar success" I'm fine with it, which is what I said as well. You're jumping in the middle of a conversation and not understanding the context. I agree with this.
  15. The constant is Sark my man. And while we have had good running backs, our running scheme isn't and hasn't been about bully ball. The stuff Sark does just doesn't work as well in the redzone. His 2020 Alabama offense could turn to bully ball when it needed to. We haven't been able to. Our line just hasn't been good at that. I don't understand your insistence that everything be on our QB. It is perplexing. But I also know you're just trolling and for whatever reason get a kick out of trolling our own fans. It is sad and pathetic, but you do you.
  16. I think our offense is bad in the redzone. I don't think it is all Quinn. Sark's schemes just don't work as well in a compressed field. We rely on explosives and when you're within the 20, you don't have room for those explosives. A running QB may open things up that Sark isn't able to do with our current team. I think 90% of our redzone problems are a lack of any real power rushing attack. If we had absolutely exceptional QB play, we could get around it. But that doesn't mean our inability to score is because of the QB.
  17. I missed the stop at the end against OU. I wish it had happened.
  18. Sam would be an upgrade this year, at least post injury. I don't know about last year. Quinn played pretty fucking well. But that's sort of my point, Sam isn't just a joe schmoe QB. He was, particularly for our offense, a very good college QB.
  19. The defense did not lead us last year. It lost us both OU and Washington. Our pass defense was pretty bad.
  20. I agree with all this. And Arch should be our QB in the redzone if we aren't able to run the ball. Maybe he should be our redzone QB generally, but I think if we are running with success it isn't as necessary.
  21. Hey man, how about not jumping in the middle of a conversation you ain't having if you're not going to bother paying attention? I'm simply responding to the idea that we could have replaced Quinn with any joe quarterback over the last 3 years and had the same success. It is a nonsense argument. Quinn has been a good QB for us. Let's not tear down a guy that has won a lot of games for the burnt orange. He could be better. He isn't perfect. There are better QBs, especially based on his performance this year. But completely dismissing his accomplishments and pretending we would be better off with anyone else is fucking stupid. We've seen where "anyone else" gets us over the last decade.
  22. I'm very confused. Folks in this thread have repeatedly said the QB is the most important position and that is why they get the criticism and the credit. That's why we're justifying tearing apart the performance of our starting QB despite him being objectively the best player on our offense on Saturday. I agree. It is a team game. That doesn't change the fact that the list of QBs involved in those two groupings is pretty exclusive and a fairly elite group. I don't buy that we have the same success with just any other QB. It doesn't match historical precedent at all. But sure, let's look at another position grouping, say RB. Texas Big 12 Championship teams 1996 - Priest Holmes and Ricky Williams 2005 - Jamaal Charles and Selvin Young 2009 - Fozzy Whittaker and Tre Newton 2023 - Jonathon Brooks and CJ Baxter
  23. List of QBs that have beaten a Nick Saban Alabama team in Tuscaloosa since 2012: Joe Burrow Quinn Ewers Chad Kelly Johnny Manziel That's the list. List of Texas QBs that have won a Big 12 Title Vince Young Colt McCoy Quinn Ewers James Brown I don't think it is evident at all that we could have done those things with "any number of different QBs". But if you actually mean a handful of the very best college football quarterbacks to play over the last 3 years, then sure, we could have done those things with them. Our offense has regressed this year. Quinn has regressed this year. Part of that is personnel changes. Part of that is injury. Part of that failure to elevate play. Quinn has still been a very good quarterback for the horns overall and it is stupid to suggest that replacing him with just any other QB would have result with the same success.
  24. Oh no! Some of the other best teams in college football may have better QBs than us. Stop being such a bitch.
  25. Im not sure who has said that. But these absolutes are absolutely asinine.
